88.4% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2018 (Core i5-8250U, FHD) Convertible Review | Notebookcheck
Best of both worlds. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Yoga is a sleek 2-in-1 for business professionals. While the top of the line configuration is an excellent machine, this mid-tier model may be the best solution for most users in need of a well-styled hybrid business device.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen Review (2018): Full-Featured Convertible
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
At $1673 the ThinkPad X1 Yoga is by no means an inexpensive 2-in-1 ultrabook, but it delivers in terms of flexibility, horsepower, build quality and security. If you're in the market for a new ultrabook, the Lenovo X1 Yoga (Gen 3) should probably be on your short list.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen review: A speedy, premium 2-in-1 with a lofty price tag
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is pricey compared to its peers, and its tough-to-access memory card slot sticks out like a sore thumb. Still, this new ThinkPad has a rugged design, speedy performance, impressive battery life and an array of high-end features, like its webcam shutter and retractable keys. If you can get over its lofty price tag—or perhaps, even better, wait for a price cut—the ThinkPad X1 makes for one of the stronger 8th-generation 2-in-1s we’ve seen yet.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga review: Powerhouse in a modern avatar
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
The overall essence ThinkPad X1 Yoga gives us is that of a business-focused laptop with a pinch of flexibility, exactly what the young, business enthusiasts need these days. It has the power and it has the stealthy look that is new yet familiar with the rest of the ThinkPad line up. At Rs 1,12,000 it sure will make you think twice before investing, but given the overall package, it could have been a steal if it was for under Rs 1 lakh. Convertible market is already heating up at a good pace and Lenovo has a big role to play in it. Although this new ThinkPad X1 Yoga is one of the most powerful 2-in-1 laptops out there, the question is, will it be able to hold the title for long?

Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
Lenovo's ThinkPads can be a little pricey, especially if you're going for the top-end model. Still, I think that it's definitely worth it, and that the ThinkPad X1 Yoga is one of the best convertibles on the market.

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.

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.
