Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro review: Powered by an Intel Core i5 Haswell Processor that clocks at 1.6GHz, the Yoga 2 Pro sports a Windows 8.1 OS, 13.3-inch touch screen interface, 4 GB RAM, 128 Solid-State Drive, and an incredible flexible body that can twist and bend into four different modes. It also has a fairly flexible price tag to boot.

The Yoga 2 Pro only weighs 3.06 pounds and is only 0.61 inches thick. This means that it is about a third of a pound lighter than its predecessor, as light as the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus, and even thinner than the MacBook Air. It also has a soft, matte gray shell and a textured black palm rest that guarantees comfort when typing.

In terms of screen quality, this ultrabook is also pretty impressive with a resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels. It is a drastic upgrade from the last Yoga which only has a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. In fact, its responsive touchscreen quality and compact pixel display can match the MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Because of it can now fully rotate by 360 degrees, the Yoga 2 Pro boasts that it can not only be a laptop or an iPad. It can also switch into four different modes.

The first and most basic mode is the “Laptop Mode.” There are no explanations needed for this one. With a snappy processor and a Windows 8.1 OS that manages and opens apps in a snap, the ultrabook is a great companion for everyday use. However, some critics saw that it slows down with Photoshop or other heavy-duty apps.

For those who enjoy watching movies or viewing photographs or other files, here is the second mode, the “Stand Mode.” This can be done by rotating the screen 180 degrees then flipping the device over so it would become the stand. Users can place in on a table while many can enjoy viewing at the screen comfortably.

The third, and probably the strangest mode is the “Tent Mode,” wherein the ultrabook is propped up like a tepee to keep the screen steady.

The fourth and last option is the “Tablet Mode,” which is also self-explanatory. You simply flip the screen to a full 360 degrees and press it back against the device. Although the Yoga 2 Pro is clearly too heavy to be a tablet, this mode is handy when you are out travelling and you want to use the laptop while you’re on your seat.

With an impressive display and a wide selection of modes, the laptop starts on a mid-range price of $1,000, with a special promotional price of only $929.
