Lenovo Yoga 2 Review, Specs: Windows 8.1 Powered Convertible Sports 4th Gen Intel iCore Processor, 500 GB Drive; New Tablet, Laptop Hybrid Is ‘Flexible & Powerful’

Lenovo Yoga 2 review, specs: The Windows 8.1-running Lenovo Yoga 2 runs on 4th Gen Intel iCore processor under the hood and runs on 500 GB hard drive. The updated convertible is described as “flexible and powerful” thanks to its versatile design and noteworthy technical upgrades.

The Lenovo Yoga 2 include a weight of 3.5 pounds and is just a hair thicker than the 11-inch model, CNET notes. The new Lenovo Yoga 2 is still full HD at 1,920 x 1,080 but does’t have the 3,200 x 1,800 resolution it has. Specs of the laptop include a fourth-gen Intel Core i5 CPU and a 500GB hard drive. It has a solid-state drive (SSD) option available for those hoping to upgrade.

The Windows-powered laptop measures 11.7” x 8.1” x 0.7” and weights about 2.9 pounds. The laptop itself is quite heavy for a tablet but is light enough for a laptop. Like most convertibles, the user will either find this better than a laptop or tablet, or vice-versa.

According to CNET, the new Lenovo Yoga 2 models doesn’t feel as premium as the Yoga 2 Pro. The tech site declares the unit as the best Windows laptop of 2013. The updated laptops launched at CES are thicker, feels like plastic and 360-degree hinges that is not as elegantly effortless to manipulate.

Some plus of the laptop include an excellent overall touch-screen laptop, a decent tablet experience and a kiosk mode, which CNET says has been seemingly been undervalued by users.

The 11-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is now available at Best Buy for $500. The unit features Intel’s latest Bay Trail processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB hard drive.
