Lenovo stole the show at CES earlier this year with its Ideapad Yoga. A 13.3″ notebook that turns 360 degrees to become a tablet. According to sources Lenovo has a model coming based on the concept, but this time with Tegra 3 and Windows RT.
Lenovo aims to become the world’s second largest PC manufacturer and even if its presence in the Nordics is lacking, it is not scared of presenting interesting products. Ideapad Yoga was one of the most popular products CES. At first sight it is a regular computer, but the screens turns so far back that it ends up on the bottom. The keyboard is then deactivated and instead you get a 13.3″ tablet.

The Wall Street Journal reprots there is at least one more model in the company pipeline. This one is not based on Intel Ivy Bridge, but will be pwoered by the ARM-based Nvidia Tegra 3 and Windows RT. It is still unclear if it is a nearly identical model or if it will get a smaller screen.
In related news, Nvidia’s Tegra section is doing very well. Google Nexus 7 uses the latest Tegra 3 circuit, but also the coming Microsoft Surface is expected to do so. Nvidia also picked Lenovo and Asus as partners for making Windows RT based computers with its system processor. Depending on the sucess of Windows RT it could be a big leap for Nvidia Tegra, which in the future Nvidia hopes will grab a much bigger share of the company revenue.
