Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga

83% Review Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Convertible | Notebookcheck
Business hybrid. Lenovo's new 12.5-inch ThinkPad Yoga borrows the 360-degree folding screen design from the consumer-oriented IdeaPad-line and adapts it for business use. Does the versatile Ultrabook convertible with its innovative usage-modes still offer the legendary ThinkPad quality we've come to expect from the series?
85% Probably the only laptop tablet-hybrid that impresses
Source: Digital Trends English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The ThinkPad S1 Yoga is a very good attempt to mould an iconic laptop into a functional tablet, one that comes with our full recommendation. It’s still a bit heavy to use and operate in tablet mode only, but if you look at this primarily as an ultraportable ThinkPad with the added bonus of turning into a tablet, the experience only flatters to impress from this small perception shift. Other impressive laptops for you to check out at a similar price point are the Toshiba Portege Z30T and Acer Aspire S7.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Convertible Review: Business Flexibility
Source: PC Perspective English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The ThinkPad Yoga is, overall, a successful fusion of the ThinkPad philosophy with the Yoga design. It’s the most durable and business-like (not to mention the heaviest) Yoga to date, and yet simultaneously it’s also the most touch-versatile ThinkPad. It seeks to incorporate the best of both worlds into a package which both camps could appreciate.

Overall, we like this Lenovo. It's rugged and has the accurate and comfortable keyboard and pointing devices ThinkPad aficionados have come to expect. The 1080p display will make your presentations pop, and, when you throw in the Dolby-enhanced speakers, you get a great machine for watching movies.

73% Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1 Review: Market Elasticity
Source: Notebookreview.com English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Melding features from the consumer Yoga line and the business ThinkPad line affords the Yoga S1 a great deal of flexibility, but it comes at the cost of some core business features. With a high-quality keyboard, an attractive durable build and strong performance levels the Yoga S1 meets most of the criteria expected of a business notebook, but the device’s limited port selection is troublesome. Especially considering that Lenovo already offers the ThinkPad T440s which despite its added weight proves to be a far more practical enterprise-grade option. Instead the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1 is best for users who want to “have their cake and eat it to”. Much as the Yoga line looks bridge the divide between the laptop and tablet, the Yoga S1 looks to pair enterprise-features with a flexible consumer ultrabook design. Just be ready to concede on a few features when attempting to achieve the best of both worlds.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga review: A flexible hybrid tablet
Source: Zdnet.com English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
There are only two things we dislike about the ThinkPad Yoga. It's heavy, which will be particularly noticeable if you need to carry it a lot and/or work standing up with the notebook in tablet mode. It's also short of on-board connectors — an Ethernet port being the most glaring omission. Otherwise it's difficult to fault. The simplicity of switching to the various multimodal configurations is particularly praiseworthy, and the chassis feels sturdy enough to accommodate them for the product's lifetime.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga review: Yoga flexibility melded with ThinkPad muscle
Source: PC World English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Battery life came in at a so-so 5 hours and 40 minutes, which is slightly better than the Yoga 2 Pro's 5:29, but more than an hour less than Dell’s comparably priced and similarly equipped XPS 12 Convertible, (although the XPS 12 doesn’t have that useful pen digitizer). Business users will appreciate the ThinkPad Yoga for its rugged design, double-jointed hinge, versatile dock, better-than-average performance, and vaunted ThinkPad keyboard. Now if Lenovo could just shoehorn an ultra-high-res display into a more-attractive housing, they'd have a hybrid Ultrabook with flash as well as substance.

A Yoga Dressed For Business
Source: Hot Hardware English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The ThinkPad Yoga is essentially an interesting product; it represents an effort to give business users a prettier and (literally) more flexible notebook--or to give average users a slightly more robust version of the Yoga experience, we suppose. As the former, it succeeds. You get the great multimode options to accommodate travel and presentation situations and the slightly more svelte chassis of a Yoga.

While there’s a lot to like about the Lenovo ThinkPad S1 Yoga—especially the introduction of Lenovo’s excellent multimode design into the business realm—the fact remains that it falls short when compared with similar ThinkPad models and business Ultrabooks.

While there's a lot to like about the Lenovo ThinkPad S1 Yoga—especially the introduction of Lenovo's excellent multimode design into the business realm—the fact remains that it falls short when compared with similar ThinkPad models and business Ultrabooks. The Dell Latitude 6430u remains our top pick for business ultrabooks, thanks to its superior performance, and the Lenovo ThinkPad T440s offers equally compelling performance in a traditional clamshell design. The ThinkPad S1 Yoga is the perfect business hybrid for the user who absolutely wants a Windows tablet, or who has been using the consumer version Yoga for a few months and craves the same sort of flexibility at work.

84% The Yoga's keyboard assumes a new position
Source: CNet English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Lenovo's Yoga hybrid line has already gone through several iterations, from the original, fold-back screen version, to the 3,200x1,800 Yoga 2 Pro, to the recently announced lower-cost Yoga 2. Lenovo solves half the Yoga equation with a clever hidden keyboard on the ThinkPad Yoga.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga review: a well-designed convertible laptop
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
ThinkPad Yoga is a well-designed and versatile convertible device, with a high-quality IPS display that will particularly appeal to business travelers who need to give presentations when they’re visiting clients. However, the use of a sluggish hard drive is disappointing in a laptop costing the best part of £1000.00, especially when compared to SSD-equipped models from Lenovo such as the 13-inch Yoga 2 Pro.

Aside from the smallest of niggles, this new ThinkPad has well and truly won us over. It's the same price as the consumer-orientated Yoga 2 Pro, and definitely more practical – aside from the 200g extra weight. It's cheaper than the ThinkPad Helix, and a more elegant design. It only misses out on overhauling our current A-List incumbent, the Dell XPS 12, by dint of its weight and a slightly lowlier CPU. All told, Lenovo has yet another winner on its hands with the ThinkPad Yoga: it's a simply superb business Ultrabook.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Review
Source: Slashgear English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The ThinkPad Yoga is a hybrid machine with a lot to offer users as both a laptop and as a tablet, though in slate mode it is thicker than what you'd get with a traditional tablet. There is nothing ill to speak of regarding the ThinkPad Yoga -- everything about it is solid, with the exception perhaps being a lower quality stylus than what an artist would need. The construction feels solid and durable in the hands, the keyboard is comfortable for typing in long duration stints, and the hardware is capable for a variety of tasks.

80% Work meets play in Lenovo's snappy, sightly business ultrabook
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The ThinkPad Yoga offers the features and performance that business users need, thanks to Windows 8.1 Pro standard and optional 802.11ac. But despite it all, this is not a focused business-class product. No-nonsense workers might be better served by a souped up ThinkPad T440s for the extra ports, or even a 13-inch MacBook Air for the added battery endurance, plus double the storage and an even lighter load for $30 less. At any rate, the ThinkPad Yoga is a Windows business ultrabook that you'll be glad to whip out on your commute, even if you don't flip it over or tent it up.

With the ThinkPad Yoga Lenovo has successfully ported the innovative 360-degree hinge design of its consumer Yogas to a durable, powerful business laptop. Even without its tablet, tent and presentation modes, the ThinkPad Yoga's comfy keyboard, colorful full HD screen and 8-hour battery life would make it a strong choice for business users on the go.

You've probably noticed that we like the ThinkPad Yoga quite a bit. At 12.5", it's slightly more portable than most 13.3" Ultrabooks, but you're not giving up that much screen real estate. In turn you're getting an extremely well built and designed machine that can handle the perils of the road, a very good keyboard, superb trackpad and robust drivers that are reliable.

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板来说略大,而对亚笔记本来说稍小。一些变形本采用了这个尺寸的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
