Plan on doing some yoga while in a hostile country? Panasonic's got you covered with its 11.6-inch AX3 Ultrabook. The device's 1080p screen folds over, similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/lenovo-ideapad-yoga-13-review/), along with Dell's officially unofficial XPS 11 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/03/dell-vp-xps-11-yoga-folder/). Under the hood, it runs an Intel 1.8GHz Haswell chip, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD, all in a package that weighs in at just 1.14kg (2.5 pounds) and promises to deliver 13 hours of battery life. In the grand tradition of Panasonic's ToughBook (http://www.engadget.com/tag/toughbook/) devices, the AX3 can survive a 2.5-foot drop if it slips off your desk, and it can also withstand 100 kilos of weight should you feel the urge to stand on top of your computer. There's no pricing or availability information to share at the moment, though we hope to get a hands-on at IFA (http://www.engadget.com/tag/IFA/) later this summer.
