Lenovo has announced two new convertible laptops in its Yoga lineup: the Yoga 710 and the Yoga 510, the former of which has narrow bezels. In addition, the Chinese manufacturer releases the ideapad Miix 310 tablet with a 10″ screen and detachable keyboard.
The Yoga concept of laptops with a flip screen has traditionally been the category for high-end products from Lenovo, but now there are also mainstream models in the line of convertibles. Lenovo has now added the Yoga 710 to this. This model is available in two variants: one with 11″ and one with 14″ screen.
Both models feature full HD resolution and offer a claimed battery life of up to eight hours, measured when playing video and with screen brightness at 200cd/m².
