Lenovo Yoga gentle soul - Computer Sweden

Yoga Pro 2 has a slightly different design because you can fold the screen 360 degrees backwards and suddenly you are left with a tablet in her hand.

Fixed now it happens, tablets hardly tend to weigh more than a barely kg while Lenovo computer weighs 1.4 which seems a bit much when carrying around it for a while. But the idea is anyway good and you sit with your lap in a crowded space concept works just fine.

class=”paragraphIntro”> further detail that distinguishes Yoga Pro 2 from the crowd is that the screen resolution is at full 3200×1800 pixels, compared to the Macbook Pro that can handle 2560×1600 or Asus Zenbook UX301 which I recently tested and situated at 2560×1440 pixels.

class=”paragraphIntro”> In current situation it’s just Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus which is in the same class as the new Yoga and it’s pretty impressive considering the relatively low price. Samsung PC namely costs SEK 15 000 with about the same configuration as my test model with Intel Core i5 processor and 128 GB flash disk.

class=”paragraphIntro”> can actually to buy a Yoga Pro 2 with the same processor but with the flash disk of 256 GB for 11,500 dollars and you go up to a Core i7 processor stops the price still at 13 000. One is satisfied with Core i5 processor, the performance thereafter and the fact is that even a comparison with Samsung’s similar computer get a slightly lower value in the gauge PCMark where yoga comes up at 4470 points, while Samsung’s computer rounding the top 5, 000.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Looking at PC boot time, you can get started Yoga at 17 seconds while I measured ten seconds at the Asus Zenbook which however has a Core i7 processor. With such a processor to get even better graphics components and the Yoga Pro 2, which uses Intel HD Graphics 4400, one can not expect to be able to run the most advanced games, especially when you want to take full advantage of the high resolution screen. But for watching movies, it is obviously a fantastic with a screen of this kind and Lenovo should also be commended for the sound that comes out of the excellent speakers.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Something a little annoyed with this model is that it has quite a few outputs to connect external devices; just a USB 2 socket, a socket usb 3 and so obviously a slot for micro-hdmi. When it comes to battery life harbors Yoga for about six and a quarter hours at high load which is slightly worse compared to several competitors.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Another detail I do not completely satisfied with the placement of the button to turn on the computer, but it’s something that does not disturb the overall impression significantly. The price tag of around 11 000 means that it is well over the average for the standard computers to find in shops but compare it with several of the competitors similar products I feel that Lenovo found a good level.

I tend to be a little hesitant tablets, mainly because I have been writing as a profession but a variant of this type, I definitely do not mind.
