Things you may not know about me: I used to work for a legal technology magazine, covering consumer technology for lawyers with lots of disposable income. I also used to try to master the tech beat at the political magazine where I worked, figuring if I didn’t know all the history of politics like my political junkie colleagues did, I could get a leg up on the new technologies campaigns were using. (Like that crazy social media stuff. Who knew it’d stick around?!) So needless to say, I love gadgets and can’t live without my phone or my laptop. Between work, writing a blog, doing volunteer work, I’m always on the go and I’m always connected. (Uh, for better or worse.) I’m primarily a Mac girl, so I was excited to try one of these fancy Lenovo Yoga 3s. Also, as a blogger, I was so excited about LIVE WRITER. I was so excited to use the program loved by bloggers everywhere that helps you publish your posts far more intuitively than any other software.
But what’s really cool about the Lenovo is its form factor. You can use it as a regular laptop, and at just 1/2″, it’s SUPER thin. (My Junior League binder is thicker.) It also weighs in at just 2.5 pounds, so while I can’t lift weights with it, I can definitely throw it in a bag without being weighed down. The computer itself is a little yogi; with its 360-degree hinge, you can bend it any which way, using it as a traditional laptop, a tablet, tent or stand.
The touchscreen is also really cool and intuitive. I know sometimes I’ve wished I could just move things on-screen with my fingers to illustrate a point, and with this computer, you can.
And the tent = all the better to watch foam rolling videos!

I'm excited! I'm getting a new DSLR and would love to blog more and share my photos with a newer laptop! Mine is so old.
I would definitely take advantage of the incredibly portable nature of this bad boy!
We're taking a 2.5 month road trip this summer, so I'd LOVE to have a lighter computer to bring along than my current (much bulkier) Lenovo! I'd love to have the option to use it as a tablet while in the car for catching up on work while in transit.
I'd love the tablet features and I could take it with me everywhere
Love how lightweight it is! I always have so many textbooks to carry around with me so it would be great to lighten my load a little.
The tablet features are awesome! Would be really nice to have a lightweight full functioning tablet to take on work trips - my current work laptop weighs a million pounds!
I would love to win this laptop! I was just accepted into nursing school for this fall, and will be traveling back and forth around New York City with all my books. This laptop would be perfect since it's so light weight, and the tablet feature would be super useful for class and studying.
I'd totally use the tent feature while watching netflix!
The laptop/tablet combo is something I am really looking for - this seems perfect!
I would love this laptop! Super light weight and easy to carry around!
This laptop/tablet would be so convenient to take on work trips and I could definitely use it at home too. The features are amazing for something so small and lightweight!
