The Lenovo Yoga 13 is the bigger and more powerful member of the Yoga family, the handy double-jointed hinged series of laptops that lead a double life as both an Ultrabook and a full-sized Windows 8 tablet. Is this thin touchscreen wünderkind your nex...
Lenovo’s taken some cues from its rock solid ThinkPad line with the Yoga: it’s a sturdy bit of kit. While there’s only a slight bit of flex in the keyboard and it’s quite hefty folded over in 'tablet' mode, the rest of the machine is rigid and definitely screams high quality when it first graces your hands.The transforming nature of the Yoga is what makes it unique: it folds back perfectly as des...
Unfortunately, while the Lenovo Yoga 13 excels as an Ultrabook with a touchscreen when working with Windows 8, its size makes it too big to be truly useful as a full-time tablet. Folded on itself, as a tablet it’s a bit ungainly, and the widescreen ratio of a laptop just isn’t helpful when you’re holding the machine, rather than the table: it’s too wide to comfortably type with, and impossibly lo...
The Lenovo Yoga 13 is a great touchscreen Ultrabook, but its tablet function falls flat due to the unwieldy size and heft, making it more party trick than useful talent. On the other hand, its propped up tent option more than makes up for it, and makes...
