Q: Processors
A: The Intel M processor came out with the intended purpose of use in laptops. It is low power which, in theory, reduces heat production and gives longer battery life. Also, since there is no fan needed, thinner designs are possible. If an OS is designed to take advantage of it, the battery life is improved. If it isn't optimized, it doesn't help and is slow. The current 6th generation Intel i3, i5, i7 are newer, faster, low power consuming but need better cooling than an M (thicker laptops).
Q: Can you change the processor on the yoga 3 pro
A: Yoga 3 pro only comes with one processor choice. Processors are not user changeable on any consumer laptop
A: It's a low power version of the Core series. It runs at a lower voltage and lower frequency, although it will increase its speed under load. My experience is that it makes the Yoga 3 Pro significantly slower than computers with a full Core i5.
A: To switch on the backlight you use the fn + spacebar keys to turn it on.
