    Review by Lee Howley

    Lenovo has brought back their largest variant of the Yoga series for a third round. This light and versatile computer packs a 14-inch touchscreen display, solid battery life, and is well suited for casual users and road warriors alike. Following up on what has worked in the past, the Yoga 3 14 convertible tablet continues its prior success in being a well rounded machine at a respectable price.

    This convertible laptop certainly delivers more Windows PC performance than a Microsoft Surface 3, but does the 14-inch screen make it too big in tablet mode? Keep reading for our full report.

    Great review.
    Picked up the i7 940m 256GB SSD model for much less after using promo codes/discounts and so far it's a pretty amazing convertible, great for watching movies and can play most games at 720p on medium/high settings at 30+FPS.
    Fans are very well balanced under load, while you can hear them when gaming it's not that bothersome, temps are well managed too.
    Wish the power cord was a bit longer but can live with it.
    I can see when in tablet mode it can feel a bit big but I love the extra real estatet the bigger screen provides, mostly use it in laptop/tent mode anyway.
    It can pretty much do it all, great for work and play.
