Maybe it’s because Windows 8 has arrived and that’s why retailers are frantically trying to clear out their Windows 7 laptops. That’s good news for consumers, because it means that you’re able to find some great deals on some pretty great laptops… like this substantial collection of Lenovo notebooks on sale for 20% off.

If you go to Amazon and look through the Lenovo notebooks that they have in stock, just about all of them on sale for quite a bit off the regular retail price. They’re mostly powered by Windows 7, but if you insist on having the newest OS, there are deals to get Windows 8 Pro for about $40.

As far as the Lenovo notebooks and ultrabooks go, a good example is the Lenovo IdeaPad Z585 261729U. It’s a 15.6-inch laptop powered by a 2.3GHz A-Series Quad Core A10-4600M processor and 6GB of RAM. It used to be $729.99, but now you can have it for $499.99. Similarly, you can get the MacBook-esque Lenovo IdeaPad U310 with the Core i5-3317U processor for $629.99, down from the regular price of $799.99.

Go find your Lenovo laptop deal on Amazon now before they take away these savings or run out of stock. They all qualify for free super saver shipping too.

In the Android world we pretty much have two standard groups when it comes to sizes, that’s the 10-inchers and the 7-inchers. Sure, we have a few devices that are different, but these are the most common. That makes Lenovo’s IdeaTab S2109 a little different with its 9.7-inch display with a resolution of 1024×768- for those keeping track, that’s exactly the resolution and size of the iPad 2.

The new IdeaPad will feature Android 4.0 ICS, Google Play and Lenovo App Shop, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, 10 hours of battery life, Micro-USB, Micro-HDM, and MicroSD. It is also unique in the fact that it has a unibody design, essentially meaning that it is made of a single piece of material and is only .35-inches thick. The S2109′s processor and RAM haven’t been revealed at this point, though.

The key to this device’s success will likely have a lot to do with pricing. With the iPad 2 selling for $399, Lenovo would be wish to try and undercut this price if they truly want to have the widest possible appeal.

We know that many of you out there are interested in some of the Ultrabooks and tablets that have been unveiled at the ongoing CES 2012. But what if you could play with a device that would let you enjoy the best of both worlds? Well, that is what you will be getting with the newly unveiled Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga.

The IdeaPad Yoga is a 13.3-inch Ultrabook which runs Windows 8. What makes it different from all other Ultrabooks is that the Yoga uses a dual-hinge design which will allow you to bend back its screen 360 degrees and you will have a tablet in front of you.

As you might already know, manufacturers from around the world prefer the two piece approach and offer a screen that fits into a separate keyboard dock. With the Yoga, you will be able to use the bottom keyboard as a stand for the touchscreen, and of course simply as a keyboard.

With two modes available, you will be able to take full advantage of Windows 8. The Yoga features 10 point multitouch capability and the display comes with a resolution of 1600×900.

It’s only 0.67 inches thick and weighs in at 3.1 pounds. The company is promising a battery life of up to 8 hours, not bad at all. But the device might end up as quite a workout weighing that much when used as a tablet. What do you think?

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga will be powered with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 and is coming with as much as 256GB of SSD storage. It will arrive sometime in the second half of 2012 with an estimated starting price of $1,199.

And just in case you are wondering, Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline from India. People who practice Yoga have to twist and turn and ‘bend’ their bodies a lot. Now you know why the name.
