For many years, Lenovo has given us wonderful professional laptops such as the ThinkPad series laptops with that iconic red TrackPoint on the keyboard. And because the Lenovo ThinkPads are so successful, it have been tough for Lenovo to be associated as a lifestyle brand for the mass consumer. But since the launch of Lenovo Yoga series laptops, the game has changed.
The Yoga has become a fast growing and popular laptop choice among consumers & professionals since its launch in 2012 with Windows 8 Operating System (OS). Like its name, Yoga, these hybrid laptops comes with 360° flip & fold design and compliment with a 10 point multi-touch display to give you the flexibility to use their Yoga in either Laptop, Tablet, Tent or Stand mode. We have tested and tried most hybrid convertible laptops available in the market, the Yoga series is one of the best and most balanced when it comes to design, durability and functionality.
From Yoga 11S to the latest ThinkPad Yoga, the Yoga series laptops comes in a good range of sizes and price points to cater to a broader market. Even though there is a huge price gap between the entry level Yoga 11S (from S$1,099) and the professional ThinkPad Yoga (from S$2,699), Lenovo has managed to keep the chassis design consistent with high quality build, professionally chic looks and no cheap feel throughout the series.
The Lenovo Yoga 11S
My personal favourite has to be the Lenovo Yoga 11S which is small, light weight and powerful when you configure it with a Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB SSD. In replacement with my iPad, I have been carrying the Yoga 11S with me in a small sling bag that can only fit a 10.1 tablet. The portability as well as its battery life of more than 5 hours have made my work more efficient as this little monster enables me to process photos and video clips on the go with Photoshop CC and Premiere Pro CC.
For those who are contemplating between a tablet or a laptop, I would highly recommend the Lenovo Yoga 11S. The Yoga 11S is priced from S$1,099 and comes with 128GB SSD and Intel Core i3 processor. It is a capable PC, stable and fully utilize the touch interface on Windows 8 OS. It may be heavier than a tablet but with the processing power needed by on-the-go warriors, it is definitely a choice you will not regret.
Even the Nutcracker had to stop and be AMAZED…
