Watch the Windows 8 tablet-ultrabook hybrid as it swoops and bends

With the release date of Windows 8 devices less than a week away, all PC makers involved in the event are doing what they can to capture the interest of prospective buyers.

Lenovo has already made the official introduction of its IdeaPad Yoga multi-mode tablets, but there's little that can keep people on the edge of their seats like a high-tension action sequence, so that's what the company used for its commercial.

Meet Agent Doe. As in Jane Doe, since her name is never actually given. She is, after all, a secret spy (Jane Doe is the placeholder name for a woman whose identity is unknown).

Her mission is to find the IdeaPad Yoga, secure it, and then get away from her pursuers while passing it to her partner. Throughout the chase (which apparently spans multiple countries and days), she takes advantage of all the abilities of the device (360-degree bending in particular) and the Windows 8 OS (especially the touch interface).

All in all, the commercial offers 3.38 minutes of well-acted acrobatics and technology.
