    It looks thinner than the current ThinkPad Yoga. I hate how they are using HDMI. Please move to the DisplayPort standard for all ThinkPad product. This Yoga might include Intel Core M processor (Broadwell).

    Damn, I wish they'd make a smaller one, not a bigger one. Something like an 11 would be amazing for me.

    Nope, its thicker - 21 mm. Also, not Core M. Broadwell U is the way to go here. Core M is going to be in the new Yoga 3 Pro.

    Yeah, but at least for my use case the Yoga's form factor is way better than the Helix's... I had the Helix for all of a month before I switched to the Yoga.

    Even then, though the Helix is nominally an 11" machine, the way it's done means the docked footprint is as big as small 13s, and don't get me started on the weight.

    I think its going to be Broadwell U. Core M should be reserved to detachables like the Helix and Consumer devices (like the Yoga 3 Pro).

    Me, too. They gave me an 11s, and I gave it to my nieces because it didn't have a TrackPoint. Other than that, it was amazing, just the right size and weight!

    Thanks for the link! it looks awkward and bulky when in tablet mode. The move to touch id is interesting compared to the conventional swipe. I waiting for them to release more info on the 12in broadwell version though as that would be the one i would be interested in.
