It’s not badly priced for an attractive and practical laptop-tablet, but the 900S doesn’t break any moulds.

70% Lenovo Yoga 900s Review: Is It Good for Business?
Source: Business News Daily Archive.org version
Mobile workers looking for a portable, flexible laptop will love Lenovo's Yoga 900S. The system is wonderfully sleek and slim, and its 360-degree folding design is actually useful. Good battery life and excellent stylus support round out the package, making this a solid pick for frequent travelers.

60% Treading lightly
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
In the end, the only thing the Yoga 900S really has to recommend it is its thinner, lighter chassis, which, given its £1,000 price, isn’t really enough to make it a better buy than its slightly chunkier 900 sibling - especially now both laptops are roughly the same price. There’s also the worrying issue of its hit and miss wireless performance, which still hasn’t been fixed at time of writing.

Taken on its own merit, however, and it's easy to heap praise on the Yoga 900S. As laptop design goes, it's up there with the best. It's ultra-portable and practical, with ample battery life, silent operation and performance that, while it won't blow anyone away, is sufficient. The sticking point is the price and how it sits in among some equally strong competition, such as the Surface Pro 4.

70% A 2-in-1 With Lightweight Performance
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
That said, this Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 offers marginally better real-world battery life than the Apple MacBook, and it is more portable. People who buy MacBooks usually aren’t looking for good performance, so if you just want a thin-and-light laptop with good looks and great battery life then the Lenovo Yoga 900S might be exactly what you want.

Despite not putting out the best scores on our benchmark tests, this laptop performs well with everyday tasks and even some of the most demanding applications. What's more, this 2-in-1 machine is easily one of the longest-lasting Windows 10 systems I've seen. With all of that mind, it's easy to appreciate the Yoga 900S despite its blemishes.

Indeed, that's the appeal of the Yoga 900S—to our minds, it's the first convertible that could tempt ultrabook shoppers, offering tablet, stand, and tent modes strictly as a bonus. Yes, it's still heavier than a detachable or a pure tablet. But did we tell you about the gorgeous gold keyboard?

With the Lenovo Yoga 900S, you certainly pay for portability. It's a good choice for the traveling writer or small businessperson, thanks to its light weight, flexible and easy-to-pack build, and long-lasting battery. But you will pay a premium for those features. Midrange convertible-hybrid laptops like the Acer Aspire R 14 and Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 offer similar portability with more system memory and storage for $200 to $300 less. Our Editors' Choice for midrange convertible-hybrid laptops remains the Acer Aspire R 14 given its lower price ($699.99), larger screen, better performance, and overall value.

The Yoga 900s is an excellent blend of style and substance, packing a crisp, 1080p display and cozy keyboard into a wonderfully luxurious design. The Yoga's 360-degree hinge makes it both an impressive laptop and responsive tablet, and its 8-hour-plus battery life will get you through a long day of work. However, the Core m5 model we tested is slower than other ultraportables that have the same CPU.

If you want a very thin and light convertible that's actually comfortable for note taking and drawing, the Lenovo Yoga 900S has strong appeal. It's not as heavy or bulky as 13" convertibles and the fanless design and cool operation mean it's comfy and quiet in the lap and in hand. The Yoga 900S is versatile thanks to the Yoga 360 degree hinge, and works well in laptop and tablet modes.

Lenovo YOGA 900S Review — redefining what ‘luxury laptop’ means
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
Lenovo has a lot of bland laptops (and many stylish ones, too), but that's not because it isn't capable of more. If you need a no-frills all-black design, they have you covered. If that's not your thing, though, if you want a laptop that stands out from the crowd and makes itself known with no shortage of elegant beauty, the Lenovo YOGA 900S is the laptop you've been waiting for. It's not a powerhouse, of course. It doesn't try to be. For most people, it's exactly what they need in wrapped up in a package miles above what they wanted.

Lighter than Air and flexible as always
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga 900S is packs the best what the Yoga family can offer going beyond our expectations. Aside from the stunning build quality and design that bring the device’s weight below 1 kg, the notebook offers exceptional usability in all modes without constantly reminding you that you are using a 2-in-1 device instead of a normal tablet. However, our only complaint in this regard would be the too shallow keyboard. We were kind of surprised because usually touchpads aren’t the strongest suits in Lenovo machines lately while excelling in keyboard design. This time around, Lenovo got a big miss on the keys with the short travel but nailed the overall touchpad usability. We also liked the delicate faux leather interior, which doesn’t attract fingerprints, it looks nice and it feels nice.

Comment

Model: The Lenovo Yoga 900S-12ISK-80ML is a convertible ultrabook, which claims to be very thin and still offer very long battery life. With up to a 6th generation Intel Core m7 processor, integrated HD Graphics, 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM and a 256 GB PCIe SSD, it offers mid-range hardware capable of accomplishing many everyday tasks. Its 12.5" IPS touchscreen features a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.

With a size of 30.51 x 20.8 x 1.27 cm (12.01" x 8.19" x 0.5") and a weight of 999g, it is very thin and light. Its battery lasts up to 12 h. For entertainment purpose, it is equipped with stereo speakers with Dolby Audio Premium and a 720p HD webcam. Since Windows 10 Home is pre-installed, the device is ready to use upon purchase. In the realms of connectivity, it provides WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, a USB 3.0 (Type A) port, a USB 3.0 with video-out (Type C) port, a DC-in with USB 2.0 function and an audio combo jack.

Intel HD Graphics 515: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on Core-m-CPUs of the Skylake generation (4,5 W TDP).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

6Y54: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for tablets and 2-in-1 notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 515 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

12.50":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

78.39%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
