Lenovo's Yoga 3 Pro: A Revolution in Laptop Design

Blending Art and Technology in a Convertible Laptop

The Yoga 3 Pro, crafted by the Lenovo Design & User Experience Team, is a testament to the seamless blend of form and function. The laptop's unique properties lie in its revolutionary hinge design, which allows the screen to open smoothly from 0 to 360 degrees. This hinge, reminiscent of a watch band, is made from 885 individual pieces of aluminum and steel, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship involved in the design process.

More than just a laptop, the Yoga 3 Pro can be used in four basic forms: as a traditional laptop, a stand, a tent, or a tablet. This versatility is supported by the soft material (TPU loop & C cover leatheroid) on the product, which ensures stable standing and comfortable holding in any mode. The design's thin and light structure further enhances its portability, making it an ideal companion for both work and play.

The realization of the Yoga 3 Pro's design involved a meticulous process. The A cover is made from Magnalium with painting, the B cover from Glass with a TPU frame around it, and the C cover from Magnalium with painting, a soft PU film on the top, and a TPU frame on the front. The D cover is also made from Magnalium with painting. The use of Magnalium die-casting, painting, and pasting PU film on the C cover all contribute to the laptop's sleek and sophisticated appearance.

The Yoga 3 Pro's design also addresses the common issue of heat in laptops. The system is built to reduce heat in critical areas, and the fans are specially designed to put less strain on the system's components, lower power consumption, and provide more comfort for the user. This thoughtful design consideration further enhances the user experience.

With its exceptional design, the Yoga 3 Pro has not only won the Platinum A' Design Award but has also set a new standard in laptop design. The award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that contribute to societal wellbeing, and the Yoga 3 Pro certainly fits this description. Its revolutionary design not only advances the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology but also makes the world a better place by offering a versatile and user-friendly device.
