Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13 inch-59402636
Lenovo is China’s largest computer manufacturer and ranks fourth in the world. The company has been releasing devices and computers for a long time, so they know their stuff. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13 inch-59402636 is an innovation from them, pushing their concept of flexible tablets for extra mobility and convenience.
The Lenovo Yoga 13 provides a larger screen for a tablet making it more suitable to be categorized as a hybrid between laptops and tablets. The 13.3 inch display has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, providing users with definite FullHD clarity and clear colors. With an Intel Core i5 4200U processor, the processing power of this device should not be underestimated. This processor is capable of clocking at 2.6 GHz on turbo, has a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and is paired with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 to provide its users with unparalleled quality of graphics. Despite having over average hardware specifications, the hybrid is still only 1.6 kilograms heavy, making it one of the lightest, if not the lightest, 13” device.
In a nutshell, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13-inch-59402636 has many advantages when compared to other devices of its class. But, those interested in getting this device have to consider all aspects, including its rather low battery life due to its powerful specifications.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 2

The Yoga 2 Pro packs a high-resolution display which is simply overkill for those running basic productivity software and is suitable for those using video and photo editing tools. The weight of the Yoga 2 Pro and the size of its screen also mean that its tablet mode is only partially successful.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13 Review
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga 2 13 feels like a big laptop, and not in a bad way -- despite some issues with having to readjust how you type (the right shift key is small) and some snafus with the trackpad (there were some sensitivity issues), the laptop is a solid machine, and is particularly handy because of its various modes, allowing users to prop it up in the best position for any given moment. While it doesn't feel quite as svelte and powerful as some of the other recent machines we've reviewed from Lenovo, the design is very appealing, and the machine holds up well in general usage.

Yoga's winning hybrid design, now available for less
Source: CNet Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga 2 13, while not as nice as the Pro version, is still an excellent hybrid laptop. Some might still find it a bit clunky to use as a tablet regularly -- and it is. But the flexibility to use it in that position as well as all the others, without sacrificing the feel of a regular clamshell, is great.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
All in all, the Lenovo Yoga 2 13 is a solid convertible hybrid laptop with good, but not stellar performance, and it doesn't quite live up to the build quality of past and current Yoga models. The convertible category is hit or miss, so we still haven't nailed down an Editors' Choice, but comparing it against the strongest competitors, namely the Dell XPS 12 and the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, the Lenovo Yoga 2 13 falls a bit short.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13
Source: Mobile Tech Review Archive.org version
The $1,000 Ultrabook space is crowded, and Lenovo is tickling the underbelly with their $100 cheaper Yoga 2 13 inch model. The question is, is that enough of a price difference to make the Yoga 2 13 a slam-dunk? Probably not, but when you narrow it down to Windows 8.1 convertibles that can work both as a tablet and a laptop, it becomes more attractive because convertibles with a Core i5 generally cost more than laptops.

It might be amusing to give the Yoga 2 13 to a friend who wasn't familiar with it and who never opened the lid more than 120 degrees or so—using it as a perfectly fine clamshell laptop, and not realizing the screen can keep going all the way around to tablet mode. Certainly if we didn't know that the Yoga was anything but a very sleek, reasonably fast, eminently portable ultrabook, we'd have no trouble recommending it.

The Most Flexible Laptop for Small Business
Source: Small Business Computing Archive.org version
That's the idea behind Lenovo's Yoga line of "convertible" Ultrabook notebooks: the Yoga 2 Pro (with a quad-DH touchscreen geared toward entertainment), the Yoga 2 11 (a compact notebook with an 11-inch touchscreen) and the Yoga 2 13 (with a 13.3-inch touchscreen). Each ultrabook features a pair of trick hinges that allows you to open the lid not just 120 degrees like a traditional laptop, but a full 360 degrees. That puts the back of the screen flush with the underside of the base so you can use the touchscreen as a tablet.

Overall, the Lenovo Yoga 2 13 should be called the Yoga 1.5. While it’s certainly better than its predecessor, the new model feels like an incremental update. That wouldn’t be a problem if the Yoga was frequently updated, but we’ve been waiting well over a year for a new entry-level model, and what a year it has been.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11-9416656
The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11-9416656 is a rather popular model of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Series, most likely due to its reasonable price without compromising performance. The laptop/tablet hybrid is amazingly light, weighing only 1.4 kilograms. Coupled with its acclaimed flexibility, the device gives a very unique experience for its users.
The Lenovo Yoga has an 11.6 inch display, which is standard for laptop/tablet hybrids. The resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels gives it great screen quality, which is quite low in today's world. Its Intel Pentium N3520 quad core Atom processor is able to clock at 2.4 GHz and provides a slightly better than average processing power. The hybrid also comes with an integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) which is a very common GPU for laptops and tablets. It is based on the Ivy Bridge GPU and supports up to DirectX11. Unfortunately is just a very average card that won’t allow for any high-end graphical usage.
In essence, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11-9416656 is based on a rather unique idea for flexible tablets. Although it has rather decent hardware specifications, it is best used as a tablet, not a laptop. Its affordable price paired with its above average specifications make it a value buy for those who are in the market for a device like this.

Lenovo Yoga 2 review: Flexible and affordable

Appreciating the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 is all about managing your expectations as it doesn’t offer the screen quality of a dedicated tablet or the battery life of a MacBook Air. But we kind of don't care, because the hinge mechanism makes for a great device to use in multiple situations on the go. And at under £400 the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 successfully fills a niche that its Asus and Acer competitors haven't quite managed.

By making this the least-expensive Yoga to date (not counting the best-forgotten Windows RT version), Lenovo makes a strong case that laptop and hybrid shoppers should expect more from budget PCs. At the very least, a solid build with an IPS display, decent keyboard, and a touch screen.

Lenovo Yoga 2 11 review: A small laptop with tablet potential
Source: PC World Archive.org version
In the final analysis, the Yoga 2 11 is just a good laptop that’s capable of some cool party tricks. If your primary tablet use-case is movies, business presentations, or other applications that will benefit from its tent and stand modes, it’s a superior alternative to just buying another clamshell laptop. I don’t see it replacing the reading experience a dedicated tablet delivers, though. I’d also recommend you audition the trackpad and keyboard before laying down your cash—they didn't seem up to snuff.

While the Yoga 2 11 is by no means perfect, we think that what you get for $499 provides excellent value. Aside from a somewhat flexy keyboard deck and less-than-optimal keyboard, the convertible is well-crafted and well-designed. Its bright and colorful screen and vivid-sounding speakers make it ideal for streaming video, and its Pentium processor and 4GB of RAM are capable of running most Windows apps efficiently.

If you've been eyeing one of the ultrabook-class Lenovo Yoga laptops, but don't need ultrabook power (and its premium pricing), the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 is a good option. However, for almost $100 less, the HP Pavilion x360 offers the same internals in a flashier body. The HP x360 is also better connected, with a full-size HDMI port and Ethernet. Ultimately, if you want a highly portable hybrid laptop, the Asus Transformer Book T100TA retains the Editors' Choice; it's $100 cheaper, and offers better battery life and performance.

The Lenovo Yoga 2 11-inch is smaller than the 13-inch version, but suffers from many of the same problems. While using the system as a tablet is a bit less awkward, it’s still uncomfortable due to excessive weight and the uncovered keyboard, which always lingers. Battery life is average at best, and build quality is unremarkable, though the 11-inch version’s $499 MSRP partially offsets some of these flaws.

The latest Lenovo is another slick hybrid, with a good mechanism that's strong and easy to use. As usual, though, machines of this type involve compromises: it's too cumbersome for tablet use, and the keyboard is too poor to make this a satisfying laptop. Despite this, the Yoga 2 11 is the best cheap hybrid we've seen – but only take the plunge if you really do need a convertible device rather than a dedicated laptop or tablet.

We’ve long been fans of Lenovo’s 360-degree hinge, and it continues to work well: it moves smoothly while retaining the strength to withstand daily use, and it’s easy to switch between the Yoga’s four positions. We love the 360-degree design and the price of the Yoga 2 11, but we're less keen on the sluggish performance, bulkyness and iffy keyboard. It's not a bad hybrid, but it's not our first choice.

The Atom Renaissance. Windows RT is history – the new entry-level version of the Yoga-series uses Intel's Bay Trail and a full version of Windows 8.1 64-bit. More usage scenarios and more performance also result in a significant drop of the battery runtimes.

The 11" Lenovo Yoga 2 is a decent, adaptable ultrabook that's pretty pleasant to use, provided you don't ask too much of it. Considering its portable design, it's a shame that Lenovo hasn't offered a more impressive battery life: you may find that this hampers its ability to perform tasks.

HP or Lenovo: Which Windows PC Convertible Is Head of the Class?
Source: Recode Archive.org version
The HP Pavilion x360 and Lenovo Yoga 2. Both are 11-inch convertible Windows PCs with a 360-degree hinge design, meaning that you can fold the keyboard back under the display to use it as a tablet. The Pavilion x360 starts at $400, and the Yoga 2 starts at $489. If you’re in the market for a new laptop, and like the idea of hybrid design, the Lenovo Yoga 2 is a good choice. It’s a little more expensive than the HP Pavilion x360, but you’ll get more for the money.

Lenovo Yoga 2 11 review – the affordable 2-in-1 laptop
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
The 11 inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is one of the most interesting affordable 2-in-1s available right now. It sports the convertible form factor and a sleek and solid body, an IPS touchscreen and a fanless Intel platform able to handle everyday activities well enough. Just don't get the base version that comes with a slow HDD (or upgrade it if you do) and don't expect too much in terms of battery life.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga2 13

HR→EN Archive.org version
The tested model uses the Intel i3-4030U processor (1.9GHz), it has 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel graphics, 500GB hybrid hard disk, and 16GB SSD, which is enough to provide good results. The most important thing is the performance/autonomy ratio, which in this case goes up to 8hrs, depending on the way it is used. Thanks to Yoga series, Lenovo took a significant position on the market and new models just confirm that we have great, flexible laptop computers available whose functions are much beyond what we could see within competitive models. Yoga 2 is a great choice for those who are frequently on the move and who hold presentations, and it is equally well equipped for both, work and entertainment.
Positive: 360-degree flip-and-fold design; quality development; great performance; good autonomy; brilliant IPS screen.

72.08%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
