This latest iteration, the Yoga 900, obviously wasn’t named the Yoga Pro 4 as we imagined. Lenovo’s intention was to update on a bigger scale, and particularly improve on performance, hinge, and battery life. The Lenovo Yoga 900 weighs just 2.6 lbs, and has a 13.3-inch QHD+ display featuring 3200 x 1800 pixels. It features top of the line processing and graphics power from Intel, namely a Core i7-6500U Skylake chip, and an HD 520 GPU. The Yoga 900 comes standard with 8GB of DDR3L RAM (up to 16GB), and either a 256GB or 512GB solid-state drive from Samsung.
As mentioned, some work has been done on the machine hinge, which, if you’ve seen the photos, bares a watchband style to it (something that you’ll either love or hate). Compared to the last Yoga model, Lenovo put some work into the hinge’s durability. This time around, the fold won’t give out if you’re pressing on the touchscreen in laptop mode, so that’s nice.
Yes, it is technically considered a convertible, but due to the heftier design, you may find yourself enjoying it on your lap a little more than in tablet mode. Sure, Lenovo’s not the only computer company to bust out Intel’s 6th generation processors, but in doing so, the Yoga 900 gets to emphasize on both performance and battery life (An And Tech). It hit all the marks in improving upon what we didn’t like about the Yoga Pro 3 series. Starting at $1,200, the Lenovo Yoga 900 (the 8GB, 256SSD version) comes in either champagne gold or platinum silver, and is available now.
