Lenovo’s next convertible ultrabook will likely have an 11.6 inch screen and an Intel Core M Broadwell processor. The company hasn’t officially introduced the Yoga 3 11 yet, but some basic specs showed up in an Amazon Germany product listing earlier this month.
Now that page has been removed, but before that happened the listing had been updated with photos and detailed spec sheets. The folks at TabTec saved copies before they were pulled offline.
So here’s what we can probably expect from the upcoming Lenovo Yoga 3 11.
Like other members of the Yoga family, the new model looks like a laptop at first glance. But you can push the screen back 360 degrees until it’s back-to-back with the keyboard, allowing you to hold the device like a tablet.
This model is a little smaller than the 13.3 inch Yoga 3 Pro, but it’s about the same weight. The new model measures 11.4″ x 7.8″ x 0.6″ and weighing 2.6 pounds.
Lenovo will offer at least 3 different models of the Yoga 3 11. One features an Intel Core M-5Y10C processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive.
A second model has the same processor, but 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while a third has a faster Core M-5Y71 CPU, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage.
All three models have 1920 x 1080 pixel displays, 34 Wh batteries (for up to 6.5 hours of run time), 2 USB 3.0 ports, micro HDMI output, SD card readers, 802.11ac WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.
US pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but Amazon Germany was showing prices ranging from €599 to €999. I suspect we’ll learn more about these convertible notebooks at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
Yes , the battery life is honestly junk ! Quality is questionable as well ,think the Macbook is better for long term reliability and quality in the laptop field.
Looks like the models are already on the lenovo website

sorry, those are the 13 inch models
Why! The battery life is horrible. MacBook Air gets at least 9 hours!
Macbook Air doesn’t have a 1080p screen though.
you can say not as good as the competition but 6.5hrs if close to the real value is not horrible!
Mac book air battery life is horrible. Transformer Book T100 gets at least 10 hours!
These Core M machines should have launched before Christmas. First Asus UX305 got delayed, then this is also coming after the Holiday period……… Come on! I want one now!!
I would take more weight and more thickness to get a longer run time. An honest 8-9 hours of run time is essential. Maybe they will offer a model will a larger battery?
