Lenovo?s Yoga is aptly named ? it?s flexible in more than one way. Not only can this Ultrabook be used as a laptop and a tablet, its screen can actually swivel around the hinge 360 degrees to maximize the tablet experience.
Sure, at 0.67 inches thick and 3.4 pounds with a 13-inch screen, the Yoga isn?t the most comfortable, portable tablet on the market. But it?s a pretty cool device when you consider that, oh yeah, it?s both a laptop and a tablet.
Our review model, which costs $1099 as configured, has a third-generation Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive. The Yoga has a 13-inch multi-touch touchscreen, a 720p webcam, and built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and runs Windows 8.
Performance
In our new WorldBench 8 benchmark tests, the Yoga scores 60 out of 100. This means that the Yoga is 40 percent slower than our baseline testing model, which has a third-generation Intel Core i5 desktop processor, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia discrete graphics card. The Yoga?s score of 60 isn?t great for a desktop, but the Yoga isn?t a desktop ? it?s an Ultrabook. Its score is actually quite good for an Ultrabook ? the only other Ultrabook we?ve tested on WorldBench 8 is the HP Envy TouchSmart 4 (57), which has the same i5-3317U processor as the Yoga, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive.
