ET deals: $100 off Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop with 256GB SSD

Rarely do you find a hybrid tablet/laptop that hasn’t compromised in the attempt to deliver the best aspects of both worlds. However, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro may be the rare breed that truly gives you it all, with a resolution that matches elite tablets, roomy solid state storage capacity, and unique folding design. These killer features don’t come cheap, but thanks to a new coupon code you can pick it up today at the lowest we’ve found — $1100.

The Yoga 2 Pro sports a stunning 13.3-inch 3200×1800 QHD+ IPS display with 10-point touch, offering crisp detail and wide viewing angles. In order to make use of this display in both laptop and tablet modes, the Yoga utilizes Lenovo’s “Flip-and-Fold” design, which lets the hinge rotate 360 degrees into any of four modes – Laptop, Stand, Tablet, and Tent. You can run any Windows 8 program in any mode, but Lenovo has bundled a number of pre-installed apps that take full advantage of each position too.

This hybrid packs laptop-class power with a Core i5-4200U processor and 8GB of RAM, so you’ll be able to multitask through full Windows applications, whether it’s productivity, multimedia or games, without an issue. Thanks to the spacious 256GB solid state drive, there’ll be plenty of room for storing large files, and you’ll still get the fast boot time and other speed benefits of an SSD.

Two full-sized USB ports (one USB 3.0) can be found here, along with a microHDMI port that makes it easy to hook everything up to a larger display. Bluetooth 4.0 pairs with an Intel Wireless-N 7260 WiFi card to handle your wire-free needs, ensuring you’ll have a number of options when it comes to connectivity. There’s no optical drive here though, a sacrifice made for portability.

Speaking of that portability, the Yoga 2 Pro is about as light a 13.3-inch laptop as you’ll find, tipping the scales at 3.06lbs (the Macbook Air, for reference, is 2.96lbs, so we’re talking a tenth of a pound). With an ultrathin profile and a battery life of up to 9 hours, it’ll be simple to grab this and take it with you on the go. Other notable features include stereo speakers for quality audio and a backlit keyboard.

Backed by a 1-year warranty, you can snag this sweet hybrid today with a tidy extra $100 in savings thanks to our coupon code, but only while it lasts.

ET deals: Dell XPS 11 and 12 Core i3 convertible laptops for $850

Dell has a pair of uniquely placed ultraportable convertible laptops in the XPS 11 and 12. While they each have their own individual pros and cons, they also have much in common, including a huge limited-time coupon that drops the price of each to just $850. That matches (for the 11) or exceeds (for the 12) the best prices we’ve ever seen.

Both laptops are powerful and versatile. They are both powered by (slightly different) Core i3 processors, 4GB of RAM, and a speedy 80GB solid state drive. Wireless is strong with Intel dual-band wireless-AC and Bluetooth 4.0, the battery is rock solid at just under nine hours, and each sports a touchscreen built from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass NBT. You’re also getting a pair of USB 3.0 ports and built-in NFC no matter which way you go. The XPS 11 and XPS 12 definitely both deliver strong performance as well as portability and touch-friendliness.

These laptops are not the same, though, and one of the big differentiators you’ll notice on the XPS 11 is the incredible 11.6-inch QHD 2560×1440 resolution, resulting in one of the best pixel densities you’ll see in a laptop. Weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring around half-an-inch thin, it’s also markedly more portable. It includes an HDMI port as well, which is often a must for a lot of multimedia setups. The XPS 11 makes use of a fluid hinge design to convert between four possible modes, including tablet, stand (pictured above), tent and laptop mode, similar to Lenovo’s Yoga line.

 

The XPS 12 also has a rotating hinge, but it looks nothing like the hinge on the XPS 11, with a unique flipping design that lets you rotate the display without moving the keyboard (pictured right). The display resolution here is 1080p, but at 170 degrees, it touts 10-degree wider viewing angles than the higher-resolution XPS 11. While there’s no HDMI, there is a DisplayPort, which is generally harder to find. At 12.5 inches, the form factor is obviously a little bigger here, but it’s still very portable at 3.35 pounds.

Dell has designed these laptops with a mix of machined aluminum and carbon fiber for a luxury feel, and the XPS 12 even includes extras like a full year of McAfee LiveSafe. Both models are backed by a year of Dell’s enhanced support. Grab these portable multi-mode laptops while this big savings lasts.

ET deals: Toshiba S50 Core i3 touchscreen laptop for $530

Toshiba’s S-class family of laptops are designed with a little extra style and oomph compared to their more mainstream lines, and we’ve just spotted the 15.6-inch S50 drop to an all time price low. Combined with a price cut for a touchscreen upgrade, you can now get an attractive fourth-gen Core i3 touchscreen laptop for just $530. That’s a ton of value for that price.

The Toshiba S50-ABT3N22 is equipped with a ULV Haswell Core i3-4005U, which will provide solid performance while preserving battery life. By default it doesn’t ship with a touchscreen and you could grab it for $455 without one. However, because the touchscreen upgrade is 50% off this week, and because upgrading will bump you over the threshold for free shipping (saving another $25), we highly recommend getting the most out of Windows 8.1 by opting for touch — effectively it’s just another $50. Be sure to manually add this upgrade before checkout unless you really, really don’t want it.

In other specs, this laptop covers your basic multitasking and storage needs, shipping with 4GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and a DVDRW. That will be enough for most, but more power users may want to upgrade to more memory, or to a Core i7, Blu-ray, a 2GB GPU, and more.

Three USB ports are present here, two of which are USB 3.0 and one of which has “sleep-and-charge” functionality. There’s also HDMI, VGA and a multi-card reader, giving you plenty of options for connecting to your peripherals. On the wireless side 802.11bgn WiFi comes standard, and dual-band and Bluetooth options are inexpensive upgrades for those who need it.

Sporting a thin look with sleek brushed aluminum “skin,” plus Harman Kardon stereo speakers and DTS Studio Sound, this laptop is designed to both look and sound great. It’s backed by a one-year warranty. Pick up this stylish laptop today while these savings last.
