Sony teases flexible VAIO Flip PC origami-style (video)

DNP Vaio Flip PC teaser video

We believe Sony just proved it's the master of teasing flexible laptops by using a piece of paper and basic origami skills to tout its upcoming VAIO Flip PC. If we understood the clip correctly, the device can take the form of a laptop and a tablet, but its keyboard can also fold beneath the screen to act as a stand. Sound familiar? That's because Lenovo's Ideapad Yoga 11S has a similar form -- tell us we're not the only ones who smell competition. If you missed the teaser video when it went up briefly last week, check it out after the jump. You won't be able to glean info other than the hybrid's forms from it, but you won't have to wait long anyway -- the Flip PC is slated for an IFA 2013 reveal.

If we understood the clip correctly, the device can take the form of a laptop and a tablet, but it looks like it can flip around for use in a third position as well. Sound familiar?

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S available online, reaches Best Buy on June 23rd

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S available online, reaches Best Buy on June 23rd

Lenovo teased a potential sweet spot in its convertible laptop line when it revealed the IdeaPad Yoga 11S, blending the portability of the Yoga 11 with the raw performance of the Yoga 13. As of now, we can do more than just imagine how well that balance works: the Yoga 11S is at last available to order. Those who plunk down at least $800 can buy the bendy Windows 8 PC online from either Best Buy or Lenovo, although shoppers will want to think carefully before jumping in with both feet. While both outlets equip their Yogas with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive at that price, Best Buy lists a 1.5GHz Core i5 where Lenovo starts with a more modest 1.4GHz Core i3. No matter which outlet beckons, would-be owners will have to bide their time. Lenovo is quoting a four-week wait for new shipments, and Best Buy will only see the Yoga 11S grace its retail stores on June 23rd.
