It depends on what you want to do with the convertibles, and of course your budget as well

Personally I'd stick to the ATIV Smart PC Pro, because it can be "transformed" directly into tablet mode, it is more convenient and easy to bring about; whereas the Yoga, XPS 12 and Vaio 11, despite being converted into tablet mode, the keyboard is still attached = heavier.
I'm not very keen on the Yoga 13 since when it is converted into tablet mode, the keyboard will become the base of the entire tablet, and will be prone to damage and scratches... if you really want a Lenovo, you can wait for the upcoming Lenovo Helix

Hi..thanks for your feedback

It made me think:
1. i travel quite a lot thus needs light and portable laptop
2. When is the best time to buy this kind of device (ultrabook convertibles/touchscreen?) as intel Haswell will be out this year.
3. i really need a laptop/ultrabook as my current vostro1500 is superslow nowadays even after formatting. i dont know what is the prob but it is 5 years old already.
If you say now is the right time, is ativ smart pc pro the best option especially in terms of performance...or... i need to be patient and wait for newer models?
Thank you very much!
