The Yoga 11S follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, Lenovo’s Yoga 13, and boasts an 11.6-inch HD IPS screen with 10-finger touch support. And like the Yoga 13, the Yoga 11S converts into four modes, including “tent,” as shown in the above photo. It can be used as like a laptop or folded and flipped to be used like a tablet.

I often sit down with IT staff and decision makers from small and medium-size businesses [SMBs] to discuss their unique technology needs and challenges. One of the biggest themes I hear in these meetings is the importance of mobile technology that allows them to be connected to their business from anywhere. Compared to larger enterprises, these small, rapidly growing businesses have fewer resources and employees at their disposal and need the technology that they adopt to wear as many hats as they do. Above all, SMBs want their technology to give them a fast, flexible computing experience so they can stay competitive and always be one step ahead of their customers and competitors.

2013 just started and as usual, the Consumer Electronics Show has us off to a busy start. CES is in full swing in Las Vegas and our OEM partners are showing off a whole bunch of great new devices. You may have already seen the post from Nick Parker, CVP of our OEM Division, highlighting some of the PCs coming to market, and now I want to showcase some that are available with Windows 8 Pro and great for small and midsize businesses.
As a quick refresher, Windows 8 Pro includes everything that businesses loved about Windows 7 Professional but builds on it and delivers new levels of productivity, security and mobility, without sacrificing performance or choice. And with this performance and choice, businesses have the opportunity to choose between touch and/or mouse and keyboard on an array of devices. Now, without further ado here are some of the great new PCs coming out of CES.

Touch and other new capabilities in Windows 8 are powering the latest hardware innovations coming from our OEM partners. Together we are delivering interactive new experiences through devices and services that deliver on customers’ need for constant connectivity, mobility and flexibility.
This new world of computing is on display this week at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, from chipsets, to materials, hinges, touch panels, rotating displays, beautiful new designs and new capabilities in Windows 8.
The PCs and devices we’re seeing come to market are increasingly mobile and much more powerful. When Windows 8 launched in October, we talked about 1,000 PCs and devices that had been certified for Windows 8. There are now more than 1,500 with more expected in the weeks and months to come. The breadth of innovation continues as our hardware partners deliver new Windows 8 devices and experiences that are tuned for play and work.
With that, let’s take a look at some of the incredible new Windows 8 PCs that are being announced and garnering attention on the show floor this week.

One minute I am touching the screen while painting in my favorite app InspirARTion and then next I am using the keyboard to type an email to my mom. After spending the last week with the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, there is one word that I would use to describe it--addicting.
The Yoga 13 is really unlike any PC that I have used before. At first glance it behaves like a normal laptop because it has a full sized screen and keyboard, but then it (almost magically) converts into a fun tablet with one simple fold.
When I first held it in my hands, the first thing that I noticed was how the outside felt. It is buttery smooth and surprisingly light. The palm rest on the keyboard has a very subtle texture and feel almost like leather when I ran my fingers across it--a nice touch that I had never quite felt before.
