Lenovo has unveiled new devices that enrich its Yoga line up. The Lenovo Yoga 900 is the world’s thinnest Intel Core convertible laptop while the Yoga Home 900 is a smart and portable all-in-one desktop.

“We studied real user needs to make them as thin and light as possible for the portability that they need, while upping the PCs’ performance and refining the Yoga’s signature watchband hinge for an even smoother rotation to switch between modes,” said Dilip Bhatia, vice president, Worldwide Marketing and User Experience, PC & Enterprise Business Group for Lenovo in a press release.
