The newest Lenovo Yoga Pro has been spotted in retail

Last month it was revealed that Lenovo was working towards revamping its Yoga Pro lineup. The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro convertible is one of the company’s more hailed products, as it comes with a competitive spec list, albeit sporting a high price tag.

Anyway, it seems that Lenovo is looking to soon roll out the third-gen which, by all accounts, will be marketed under the Yoga 3 Pro moniker.

The name of the machine might have surfaced online, most notably in Indonesian agency Postel, but this didn’t mean we had any idea of what the convertible might actually bring to the table.

Luckily for us, the folks over at Mobile Geeks have been doing some digging around, in an effort to find more information about this upcoming but mysterious product.

The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro will play nice with the latest Broadwell architecture

So they managed to identify a bunch of listings in Scandinavian webshops in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark that confirm we were right to speculate that the new Yoga 3 Pro would take advantage of Intel’s latest architecture.

The convertible machine will draw power from an Intel Core M-5Y70 SoC, the fastest of the new Broadwell Y lineup, which works at a clock speed of 1.1GHz, with burst speeds of up to 2.6GHz in Turbo Boost.

It should be pointed out that the new chips feature extremely low power consumption rates (only 4.5 watts) compared to the previous-generation Haswell-U (up to 17 watt TDP).

Other specs remain unknown

Apart from shedding some light in the computing department, the listings don’t reveal much, except for the fact that the product will arrive with a choice between the traditional orange design and a new one with gold / white casing.

Pricing is expected to revolve around €1,300 / $1,685, but given the fact that in Europe prices tend to be a bit higher, the device will probably boast a cheaper price tag when it arrives on US shores.

Since we don’t have the remaining specifications to look at, we can only speculate on them. The Broadwell processor might work in concert with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The machine probably takes advantage of a 13.3-inch display with QHD resolution (3,200 x 1,800 pixels), as with the previous model.

We don’t have a specific date for the product's launch on the market, but in all possibility we could see it arrive with Windows 9 out of the box.

We’ll let you know once more information on the topic surfaces.
