Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a wholly fitting name for a 13.3-in., 3.4-lb. Ultrabook that can flex through four different orientation modes -- laptop, tablet, tent and display stand. This is courtesy of a ten-finger multitouch display that flips a full 360 degrees.

And if touching isn't your thing, the integrated webcam can use Lenovo's Motion Control software to drive the system via Kinect-like gestures. One (literal) downside, though: The keyboard and touchpad are exposed (but disabled) when they are on the bottom of the unit -- in other words, when the Yoga 13 is in tablet or display-stand mode. It also includes 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD.
