Lenovo Premiers Yoga and Debuts Family of Convertible Devices Designed for Windows 8
New Multi-Mode Devices Change Future of Computing with Ability to Flip, Fold, Twist, Turn and Separate

NEW YORK – October 9, 2012: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced a new family of
four convertible devices designed for Windows 8/RT to change the way people use PCs and redefine the
future of mobile computing. For consumers, the touch-optimized family includes the IdeaPad Yoga 13, a
foremost blend of play and productivity, Yoga 11, a svelte, all day mobile companion, IdeaTab Lynx, a
premier dual core Intel® Atom-based™ tablet, and for professionals, the ThinkPad Twist, a businessready
device that puts a new spin on the traditional convertible tablet.

“Our family of Ultrabook™ convertibles addresses the unique needs of consumers, businesses and
everyone in between by creating high performance laptop-tablet combinations in new designs and
different sizes,” said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, Lenovo, and president, Product Group,
Lenovo. “We think these innovative convertibles are the best devices for a groundbreaking touchscreen
experience, plus their multi-modes give people even more ways to use their PC.”
IdeaPad Yoga 13 Flexes Into Totally Unique Poses

The IdeaPad Yoga’s revolutionary hinge allows it to uniquely move 360° and fold from laptop to tablet in
one simple motion. As one of the world’s first multi-mode Ultrabooks, Yoga 13 provides a high level of
flexibility between work and play without compromises. Infused with powerful 3rd generation Intel®
Core™ processors and powered by Windows 8, Yoga 13 provides laptop-grade performance to get work
done all day without slowing down, thanks to its super slim 16.9 mm frame and eight hours of battery life.
At the flip of the hinge, Yoga 13 transforms into a media-friendly tablet primed with rich audio-visual
features like Dolby® Home Theatre®. Visuals, such as photos, videos and websites, look stunning on its
13.3-in high definition IPS display, which provides bright background and vivid colors. Users can gesture
to flip through photos with Yoga 13’s special Motion Control technology or simply use their fingers on the
multi-touch screen.

“The Yoga convertibles are a great example of the commitment Lenovo has made to continued innovation
with Windows,” said John Case, vice president, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “The
commitment is evident in the beautiful hardware designs that exhibit flexibility, mobility and extended
battery life; combining that with the new capabilities of Windows 8 these PCs provide an experience that
is sure to delight customers.”
IdeaPad Yoga 11 Balances Power and Mobility

Its smaller screen size counterpart, Yoga 11, is the world’s slimmest multi-mode PC, measuring just 15.6
mm. Yoga 11’s slim design, 11.6-in screen and long 13 hour battery life make it a great convertible for
mobility. Equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3 – the world’s only quad-core processor for Windows RT – Yoga

applications virtually all day long. As an added bonus, both Yoga 13 and 11 can be used in completely

pictures, or bend them upright like a Tent2 to play games or video chat.

of a laptop,” said Rene Haas, vice president, Notebook Business Unit, NVIDIA. “Powered by the energyefficient
Tegra 3 processor, the Yoga 11 lets you work and stay connected all day long – and leave your
laptop charger at home.”

processor. This feather light 11.6-in tablet caters to the mobility-centric individual who wants to combine
fun and work: users can interact with a variety of Windows 8 apps via its multi-touch screen when on the
go or they can connect it to its keyboard for a full-function PC experience that includes writing documents
in Microsoft Word, creating presentations in PowerPoint and building spreadsheets in Excel. With Lynx,
users can leave the power plug behind thanks to its incredible 16 hours of battery life (with optional base), and they can enjoy cinema-quality sound with Dolby® Home Theatre® and easily connect to printers, hard drives and other accessories with a full size USB port when attached to the base.

ThinkPad Twist Puts New Spin on Small Business Computing
ThinkPad Twist makes it easy to choose one affordable device that can do it all. Use it as a fullperformance
Ultrabook, and then twist the top to switch to a convertible tablet. The 12.5-in ThinkPad

Twist gives professionals the technologies they need for both their business and personal computing. For
exceptional business-class productivity, ThinkPad Twist packages up to 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7
processors, up to Windows 8 Pro, optional 3G3, large storage up to 500 GB or 128 GB SSD and the
ThinkPad-brand’s legendary keyboard, quality and reliability features. Users can work for hours with
nearly all-day battery life and tablet-like quick resume from standby. This powerful machine also includes
dedicated software tools specifically for small business including Lenovo Solutions for Small Business
powered by Intel Small Business Advantage and Lenovo Cloud Storage by SugarSync.

ThinkPad Twist’s luminous 350nit HD display and Dolby® Home Theatre® audio produce a stand out
multimedia experience, and whether it’s a client video presentation or action-packed movie, simply
connect to high definition video with Twist’s mini-HDMI or DisplayPort jack and turn up the volume. Like
Yoga, Twist can convert into new modes like Stand, a great position for work collaboration via the multitouch
screen.
“Lenovo was one of the first to embrace convertible design coupled with touch interaction in a big way
and the Yoga 13 and ThinkPad Twist are both remarkable devices that are sure to wow consumers,” said
Kirk Skaugen, corporate vice president and general manager, PC Client Group, Intel. “These designs
fueled with powerful Intel 3rd generation Core processors will deliver the key attributes of the PC and
tablet into a single system—essentially people are getting ‘two for one’.”

The previously announced ThinkPad Tablet 2, designed for Windows 8 and powered by Intel’s next
generation CPU technology, will also debut this month alongside the new convertibles. This multi-use
tablet lasts over 10 hours on a single charge, weighs in at 1.3 pounds – lighter than its leading tablet
competitor – includes an optional digitizer and pen for precision input, offers 3G wireless and 4G4 (US
only) for anywhere, anytime connectivity and runs Windows 8 apps and familiar desktop applications.

ability to connect to the optional ThinkPad Tablet 2 keyboard and dock for a PC-like computing
experience. The ThinkPad Tablet 2 includes a host of IT manageability, security and corporate-level
service and support to help IT managers easily deploy in their business environments.
