Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is probably the very best of Samsung tablets you'll ever find. Though you might find its price a little expensive, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a reasonable investment.

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.
