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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
