Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro (256 GB SSD)

Price: Rs 1,15,000

Ultrabooks are known to be slim and light. At the CES this year, Lenovo introduced the YOGA 3 Pro, which is 17% slimmer and 14% lighter than its predecessor. Of course, at the name suggests, it can perform yoga, that is it is flexible enough for the screen to fold backwards to give it a tablet-like form factor. Powered by the latest Intel’s Core M-70 (Broadwell) CPU, this is a completely fanless laptop, meaning no moving parts, and consequently should result in a better battery life. It has an insanely hi-res touch screen, complementing Windows 8.1. Let’s take a look at the Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro in details.

Creative has been in the home audio scene since quite some time. For those of you who have had PCs around a couple of decades back, Creative was the only quality option for a multimedia pack consisting of a CD-ROM drive, SoundBlaster sound card, and 2.0 stereo desktop speakers. The company has come a long way since then but it still produces some of the best stereo desktop speakers. The new T50 Wireless, as the name suggests, are wireless speakers – that is they work with Bluetooth devices as the audio source. Unlike the modest stereo speakers a couple of decades back, these are premium lifestyle speakers and are also priced as such. Read on to find out if they are really worth the extra expense.
