Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 represents an innovative product, a slim ultrabook which coming at a price of approximately 1200 dollars, but worth every penny! We say this, first of all, because of the display that has an unusual function which allows a 360-degree rotation. On top of that, this laptop can be transformed into a small tent or an electronic bar, depending on the situation. Flexibility costs money and, in this case, Lenovo comes on the market with an innovative product whose design and flexibility make it remarkable on the market.
Open in the usual position, this Lenovo laptop does not seem to have anything out of the ordinary and it looks like a regular ultrabook – but when it’s used as a tablet, then we’re talking about a whole different story. A strong point of this product is that the display is firmly tied to the keyboard through two strong hinges, so there won’t be any problems with regards to its maneuverability and its fragility, like it happens in the case of many laptops that are fixed in only one basic point. Another strong point of this book used as a tablet is that if the display is rotated at over 180°, then the keyboard becomes inactive and remains only as an estetical inconvenient when the laptop is being used as a tablet.
What’s behind the design and the touch-screen functionalities?
Well, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 has an Intel Core i5 3317U processor working at a frequency of 1.7 GHz, 4 GB of RAM DDR3 memory running at a frequency of 1.6 GHz, a 500 GB hard drive running at a speed at 5400 rotations per minute, an integrated Intel HD 4000 video card and all of these on an Intel HM77 chipset. The operating system that comes with this laptop is Microsoft Windows 8 and the 13.3 inch touch-screen display has a resolution of 1600×900 pixels.
This Lenovo model has HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, an Ethernet port, an 802.11n wireless card and Bluetooth. Its battery has autonomy of up to 5 hours and 30 minutes. It’s not very performing in video games and this is mostly due to the fact that it doesn’t have a dedicated video card, but only an integrated one. Regarding the speed and multitasking tests, it provided good results and got similar points with the ones obtained by its direct competitors.
Lenovo Idea Pad is considered by the specialists to be a very a good example of the options that come with Microsoft Windows 8 and, at a price starting with 1000 dollars, which goes up depending on the quality of the processor, it proves to be a good acquisition for the ones that want to keep up with the electronic fashion.
