Lenovo IdeaPad K900: Big Size and Big Power

The Lenovo K900 is a rather large phone, which technically makes it a "phablet", such as the Samsung Galaxy Note. The phablet is rather large, at 5.5 inches. Its screen has a 1080p display with more than 400ppi (pixels per inch). The K900's vibrant and natural colors on its screen make it a pleasure to look at. The Lenovo K900 has a thickness of 6.9 millimeters, which is not surprising for a phone this size. The stainless steel casing of the K900 gives it a rather sleek and durable feel.



The K900 sports a Z2580 2GHz dual-core processor, which is a part of the Clover Trail + platform. It also includes the Android 4.1.2 OS, an excellent 13-megapixel camera, 16GB of integrated memory, media player, and many more.

Note: The K900 has not yet been released yet.

IdeaPad Yoga 11S: Windows 8 Convertible

The famous 13-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga was one of the most popular convertible Windows 8 devices. Lenovo has also recently created a new 11-inch version of the popular IdeaPad Yoga, this time also with a Windows 8 operating system.



Shrinking down the 13-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga creates a device when in tablet mode, feels closer like an iPad or a Nexus 7 or 10 than other convertible or hybrid laptops. The Yoga 11S can also have its screen folded back approximately 270 degrees, making it like a small, touch-screen device. It's great for sharing media, such as videos, in a group.

The 11-inch Yoga 11S can have up to an Intel Core i5 processor, but only at a low voltage, which means not a ton of power. The Yoga 11S also has a pretty decent IPS display, 1600x900 pixels. Besides just the common color for tablets and laptops, black, are other colors: orange, pink and gray.

The 11-inch IdeaPa Yoga will not be available until June 2013, although the popular 13-inch IdeaPad Yoga and the 11-inch RT Yoga are still widely available. Prices for the future Yoga 11S start at an approximate price of $799. A review will be done on the new IdeaPad Yoga 11S in the near future.

Full-Voltage Into the Samsung Series 7 Chronos

Modern Ultrabooks and thin laptops are rarely seen with a with full-power processors (CPUs) and a discrete graphics card (GPU). Fortunately, the Samsung Series Chronos is an exception to the majority of those laptops and ultrabooks.



The Samsung Series 7 Chronos boasts a quad-core Intel i-Series processor, a maximum of 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and dedicated AMD Radeon HD 8870 graphics. The screen is a 15.6-inch display that has a sharp 1920x1080-pixel resolution, which is what you would expect from such a powerful multimedia laptop.

The sharp high-resolution display is also a touch-screen, which is increasingly common in Windows 8 devices, but found more in super-thin ones than in midsize laptops. Fortunately, the Chronos is only a tad bit thicker than the average Ultrabook, at 20.9 mm. It leans a little to the heavy side, weighing in at 5.2 pounds, but its packed with power. The Series 7 Chronos also lacks an optical drive, which is something most thin laptops or Ultrabooks lack.

As of 1/3/2013, There is not yet a release date, though it should be out very soon.
