IFA 2015 | Lenovo unveils ThinkPad Yoga 260 and 460

Skylake and Windows 10 seem to be the theme this year for announcing new models. The ThinkPad Yoga 260 and 460 are the world's first convertible notebooks with LTE-A WAN options and will be at least 10 percent thinner and lighter than the previous generation.

The new ThinkPad Yoga 260 will have a 12.5-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution touchscreen, up to 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and 512 GB SSD. Connectivity ports include 2x USB 3.0, mDP, HDMI, MicroSD, fingerprint reader, and the proprietary OneLink+ port. Lenovo claims a battery life of up to 10 hours with configurations starting at $950 USD.

Meanwhile, the larger ThinkPad Yoga 460 will have a 14-inch 2560 x 1440 resolution touchscreen, up to 8 GB DDR4 RAM, and 256 GB SSD with HDD support. The model will also have an optional 2 GB GeForce GT 940M if users are unsatisfied with integrated Intel graphics. Connectivity ports include 3x USB 3.0, mDP, HDMI, OneLink+, and card reader. The configuration starts at $1050 USD and at a weight of just 1.77 kg.

Expect the Yoga 260 to be available this November and the Yoga 460 to come January for North American users. The Yoga 460 will launch even earlier in select regions.
