What a nice surprise! The Lenovo Yoga 710, announced last month and not due on the market for a while, is here on the desk in front of me at CeBIT. At first glance I wasn’t sure what it was. Thin, light, great screen, good keyboard and a Core m5. A look into the hardware revealed the Lenovo 710. Take a look at the images, the video and the notes below.

Cinebench R11.5 multi CPU 1.52 points.
Cinebench R11.5 OpenGL 14.35
Max sequential disk read speed: over 450 MB/s

The keyboard is quite good, as is the screen. The only issue I can see now is the lack of ports. You’ll need to carry a bunch of USB adaptors!

I’m a fan of the Lenovo Miix 700 but this Yoga 710 might be better. I’ll be doing some more testing over the next few days so stay tuned.

I suspected that the Acer S5 shown at CES was going to be an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook as it fits with the Q2 timescale, previous leak and hidden CPU information on the demo we saw at CES. it looks like another tech site saw the possibility that the S5 is based on Ivy Bridge too and took the chance to benchmark it. CPU figures are slightly better than on Sandy Bridge but the GPU figures show a marked improvement.
