Most gadget analysts love the fact that this 13.3-inch device has a full 360-degree hinge that allows it to be fixed at four different modes for different functions. It can be used as a regular laptop, a tablet, as well as a screen for watching videos. Users can simply set it according to what seems to be comfortable for them using the innovative watchband-inspired hinge.

Screen 

Just like the Yoga 2 Pro, the new tablet/notebook hybrid also comes with a 13-inch QHD screen display that has a 3200 x 1800 resolution. If it will be compared to other laptop brands in the market, such as the 13-inch MacBook Air, the Yoga Pro 3 has a crisper display with its 216 ppi pixel density compared to MacBook's 127 pixels per inch. 

Processor 

Most gadget reviewers claim that they were impressed with the Yoga 3 Pro's Core M 5Y70 by Intel. It reportedly lessens the device's power consumption. It also features 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB flash hard drive, which can work well for basic computing functions like word processing and web browsing.
