One of the most unique ultrabooks of the lot is Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga. Aptly named for its flexibility, the laptop has a screen that flips all the way over to act like a tablet.

Once flipped over, the keyboard is deactivated and the touchscreen can be used. The ultrabook can also be set down in a tented position or used like a regular laptop. The flexibility is super neat for those who aren't ready to trade a laptop for a tablet.
"It is clear to us that consumers want their four screens: mobile devices, tablets, notebooks and smart TVs and they want them to work together seamlessly, anytime, anywhere," Lenovo chief executive officer Yang Yuanqing said in a statement.
The IdeaPad Yoga has a 13.3-inch screen, about 17 millimeters thick and weighs 3.1 pounds. It will come loaded with Windows 8 and is expected to ship in late 2012 and is estimated to retail for $1,199.
CES takes place Jan. 10-13 in Las Vegas.
