    Corny "new twist" pun aside, isn't this the same style of mechanism from the X220t convertible tablet? EDIT: I see it does that but also does a Yoga back-bend. Nice.

    Aggressive price point for an Ivy Bridge-equipped convertible tablet with Thinkpad quality. I like it.

    I love it. May need to find some way to get one, once Haswell is out.

    Never thought I'd see an Edge look this good and it'll be available with an IPS display! I also want one preferably with an AMD A10 APU seeing as how the Edge ThinkPads are and have been available with AMD APUs.

    Your title is missing an "Edge" man. ;)

    Im not sure Im liking the overly rounded display corners, but one thing that makes me think "?!" is once again the glossy backplate of the keyboard, seriously, Lenovo, what the?!

    An Edge has never had anything remotely as awesome as a 900p IPS display. This is a big step up for the Edge line. EDIT: Sorry, it's the Yoga 13 with a 900p screen, but still, a 1366x768 IPS screen is awesome for the Edge line.
