•  Click here to buy your Lenovo Yoga 11 @ Costco.ca

The price on Lenovo’s website is $750 so you’re saving about $250 on this one. It’s a very good deal that is only made better by FREE shipping from Costco Canada.

Here are some of the relevant specs on the Yoga 11: 

• 1.4 GHz Quad Code nVidia Tegra 3 processor
• 2 GB DDR3L RAM
• 64GB SSD
• 11.6″ LED Screen
• Integrated 720p HD Webcam
• 2 USB 2.0 ports
• HDMI
• 2-in 1 card Reader (SD/MMC)

This is one of the best deals I’ve seen out there for a product like this. You get a full touch screen Windows RT (Windows 8 for tablets, basically) tablet with a full keyboard. The reason they call this line of devices “Yoga” is because it has a hinge that allows it to flip into different configurations. You can use it like a laptop or you can bend the keyboard to lay flat behind the screen to it can be used as a traditional tablet. There are two “in between” positions, one called “tent mode” and the other called “stand mode.” You can likely figure out what those look like but if you can’t just do a Google Image Search for Yoga 11.

Microsoft is offering a FREE Trial of their Windows Azure cloud platform. If you’re looking to do something in the cloud, this free trial could be your jumping off point.

This FREE trial is actually quite beefy. It comes with the following:

• compute / 750 small compute hours per month
• web sites / 10 web sites
• mobile services / 10 mobile services
• relational database / 1 SQL database
• SQL reporting / 100 hours per month

This cloud stuff is primarily meant for business and, if you’re the IT guy or boss at a business, you should really be looking into this. There are non-business uses, though. For example, I used cloud storage to host and serve a podcast. If you do any video work, you can offload the encoding work to their “media services encoding” tool. If you take a look through the list of things they provide there is bound to be something you can use a free trial of!

Pricing after the trial varies based on your usage so make sure you figure out costs before you do anything with Azure.
