released Yoga 3 Pro is fanless - an obvious difference to the pre-production model. Looks like that model was a transitory WIP.

PC Pro Yoga 3 Pro review

This appears to be a production model. Much better battery life here with 8 hours though the performance is hard to gauge because of the way they benchmark. Their baseline is a 3.4GHZ Core i7 2600k and the core M scores .45 of that which seems to be pretty decent but their benchmarks are non-standard and a bit opaque. They do rate its responsiveness very well though. I think this proves that the other pre-production model had some issues. It is obviously not as fast as a Core i5 4200U which the review seems to want to compare it too but that would never fit into the Yoga Pro 3 frame.

That's still very disappointing. You can compare it against Surface Pro 3 on the same site. Less battery life, less performance, more expensive. I'll wait for other devices.
