i have seen the lenovo yoga 11. It runs windows RT though, so i couldn't use legacy programs. It had a price cut, from £700 to £500. Lenovo announced an Intel version with full windows 8 and an i5 called the 11S that would start at the same price as the original 11 (£700). Do you think it will get a similar price cut?

first, how many legacy programs do you need and could you live without? I'd personally be running all sorts of desktop programs on windows 8 that RT can't run, like itunes, some older games, etc.

there's also the issue of battery life. the 11S will perform better than the 11, but it will be switching from an ARM processor. the 11S will have shorter battery life but will be faster

Don't expect a price cut because the parts in the laptop are more expensive, but there will probably be some back to school sales to watch out for.
