I don't have the laptop with me(I'm at work now), but it is a lenovo yoga(who thinks of the names for these)
All I remember, it is an i7 chip.

It's fun to listen to my co-workers b%tch about windows8.
I'll post more later, but my initial impression is that they want to make it like a big smartphone.
There is ALOT of fluff installed on it, that I'll never/ won't use.

harumph.
Hey, there is a Lenovo yoga, Asus has an Asus Taichi, I'm pretty sure hp is coming out with the HP Pilates lol.

Lenovo installs a LOT of junk on the Yoga. Please save yourself the pain, and look at this article: http://www.zdnet.com/how-pc-makers-d...ce-7000007546/

install the hotfix if it isn't preinstalled, Lenovo really messed up with the junk and bloat on the yoga.


As for Windows 8, I like it, but that's is just my personal opinion. It is a very controversial operating system, in my opinion, its good once somebody explains all the tricks to you.

In fact, I never really "got it" at first when I first played with the beta. But, as an MSDN (Microsoft developer network) subscriber, I was invited to view a webcast, and it was at the webcast, where members of the Windows development team explained their design choices and all the new features that were introduced. For me, the moment that "clicked" was when they told me about one of the new storage features. I was thinking "ALL MY PORN SPREAD ACROSS MULTIPLE DRIVES AND LOCATONS CAN NOW BE CENTRALLY MANAGED FROM ONE LOCATION!!!!11ONE!"

They really need a tutorial for this crap, and so, I suggest you take a quick look at the links, and feel free to post your questions here.
