The Yoga is a full laptop that has a screen that can be flipped behind the base, turning it into a touch tablet. The Yoga 13 runs full Windows 8 and not the ARM-based tablet-oriented Windows RT.

The tablet is in fact powered by an Intel Core i5 1.7GHz processor but comes with only 4GB memory. It has a 13-inch 1600 by 900, multitouch display, Windows 8, webcam and Bluetooth connectivity. Pricing starts at $999.
