Lenovo Yoga 900: Laptop and Tablet Hybrid Features Powerful Processor, Longer Battery Life
Lenovo is introducing another laptop and tablet hybrid, the Yoga 900, and this time it will be more powerful than ever. The Yoga series of laptops are best known for their hinges that allow the screen to be shifted in several positions including turning into a tablet.
The Yoga 900 has been upgraded to include the new sixth-generation Intel Skylake processors. The Skylake processors are designed to offer better performance while reducing power consumption, according to The Verge. This should result in a fast computer that still offers plenty of battery life.
Several improvements have been made since Lenovo's last Yoga model, the Yoga 3 Pro. The only slight disadvantage is the fact that it is slightly thicker and heavier.
The battery in the Yoga 900 should last up to eight hours, possibly a little longer. That is an improvement to the 7.4 hour battery life offered in the Yoga 3 Pro. The extra weight and thickness allows for the bigger battery.
A better and roomier keyboard and larger trackpad are included in the Yoga 900. This will make typing and mouse movements easier than the previous Yogas.
The screen on the Yoga 900 is a 13-inch Quad-HD display. The screen can be shifted into multiple modes, including laptop mode, tent mode or tablet mode.
Buyers of the Yoga 900 can choose 256 GB of storage or upgrade to 512 GB. Lenovo removed the 128 GB option, meaning the low-end models get 256 GB. For RAM, the low-end model starts at 8 GB and can be upgraded to 16 GB, according to Engadget.
The Yoga 900 will take advantage of WIndows 10's Continuum feature to allow users to easily switch between laptop and tablet mode when they are working on a task.
The entry-level Yoga 900 will not be cheap though, starting at a price of $1,199 and going up from there as buyers add more storage space or RAM.
