Comment
Model: Lenovo hardly disappoints in coming up with top-notch ultrabooks and the Lenovo Yoga 900s is no exception in. In addition, it is the thinnest 2-in-1 notebook in the world. With a weight of 1.08 kg and a size of 12 inch, the device can even by comfortable used when standing. It comes with a WQHD display (2560 x 1440 pixels) with IPS technology. The Yoga 900s is powered by an Intel Core m7 6Y75 processor with Intel HD Graphics 515, up to 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The Intel Skylake architecture is known for lower power consumption and higher GPU performance compared to the predecessor generation.
Interfaces on the tablet include two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port (with D/C-in), and an audio combo jack. Curiously though, it is not fitted with a media card slot, which is common in 2-in-1 notebooks. Sound quality is loud and clear as its stereo speakers use Dolby Audio Premium. The backlit keyboard provides illumination for use under low-lit conditions and the touchpad is responsive. Networking is supported by both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The Windows 10 Pro system achieves a battery life of 10.5 hours, which will assure users of longer productivity.
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.

6Y75: 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.

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.
