The new Yoga 2$849.00 at Lenovo keeps the flip-and-fold functionality seen on the previous model, and the 360-degree hinge continues to be the one of the better designs in the convertible space. With the hinge, the Yoga becomes a multimode device, rather than a simple laptop. Open the display up and back to go from Laptop mode to Display mode. Flip it over to switch to Tent mode. Finally, dell venue 11 pro charger by bringing the display all the way around, you have Tablet mode. All of these modes work as well on the new Yoga 2 13 as they did on the previous iteration.The design has been changedLenovo Yoga 2 13 somewhat from the original iteration. The chassis incorporates more plastic into the construction, with aluminum across the lid of the laptop, but not the palm rest or the underside. The palm rest has a matte finish that unfortunately picks up smudges very easily, 14-b109wm adapter so it will look a bit grimy if you don't wipe it down regularly. A rubber bumper wraps around both the display and the keyboard edges, providing grip when in Tent Mode, and adding a bit of protection from bumps and bangs in both Laptop and Tablet modes. Folded closed, the Yoga 2 13 measures 0.6 by 13 by 8.7 inches (HWD), making it slimmer than the original IdeaPad Yoga 13, which was 0.66 by 13.4 by 8.85 inches (HWD), but a little heavier at 3.7 pounds (the first Yoga weighed just 3.4 pounds).The 13-inch display has been upgraded to 1,920-by-1,080 resolution. This is a step up from the 1,600-by-900-resolution display on the original Lenovo Yoga 13, u47a battery but not as impressive as the 3,200-by-1,800 (QHD+) resolution offered on the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro. The full HD display strikes a happy medium, with all the resolution you need for multitasking and enjoying HD content, but without the high price and reduced battery life that comes with a higher-resolution screen. The touch-enabled display also boasts 10-finger tracking, giving you touch and gesture support in any mode.The excellent AccuType keyboard is one of the best features, providing dell m3800 power supply as good a typing experience as ever. The sculpted keycaps are comfortable, and the backlight provides good visibility in the dark. In modes where the keyboard isn't in use, such as Tablet, Tent, or Display mode, the keyboard deactivates to prevent unwanted key presses.The only worrisome aspect of the design is that the keyboard is still fully exposed when flipped around into these other modes, and I have legitimate concerns about damage to the keys. This problem isn't new to this model, but it already has a solution¡ªthe business-focused Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga has a mechanism that raises the deck of the keyboard up flush with the tops of the keycaps, protecting the keyboard from potential np900x3a battery damage. It looks like the feature hasn't migrated over to the consumer models yet. The Yoga 2 13 also boasts a clickable trackpad and support for Windows 8 gesture controls.Two built-in stereo speakers provide decent sound, with Dolby Home Theater v4 software enhancement. When turned up, however, the volume produced is underwhelming. Listening to music and watching YouTube videos during testing, the sound quality also dropped off at high volume.
Keyboard & Touchpad
Compared with the Yoga 2 Pro, the keyboard has not been greatly modified, not to say not at all. The typing feel on the chiclet keyboard is compelling in the category comparison, but the keys' drop could be longer. However, they are smooth-running acer switch 10 power supply and clearly lettered. The key noise is very audible but still less noisy than from many mechanical keyboards.The keys are relatively large with 14 millimeters in both height and width, which makes it easy to hit them. The "F" keys at the keyboard's upper edge are primarily assigned with other functions and can only be triggered via "FN" combinations. However, important combos, such as "ALT + F4," function anyway. There is also a keyboard backlight that can be turned on and off quickly using the key combination "FN + space." Note: When the light is on and the display is closed, neither the keyboard light nor the screen turn off. The standby button must be pressed for that.The touchpad is asus t100 charger actually a bit small with a diameter of 105 millimeters, especially seeing that it is a ClickPad that incorporates the buttons in the touch-sensitive surface. That occasionally leads to inaccuracies. However, it is possible to work quite reliably with the ClickPad after some getting used to it. The touch-sensitive surface is agreeably sleek and sensitive. The keys are stiff and only feature a very short drop though.The touchpad detects and supports many gestures when multiple fingers are used. For example, zooming in and out is possible by pinching two fingers in or out. The user can scroll through documents or the Windows 8.1 start screen using two fingers.
Display
Lenovo relied on a PenTile screen in the Yoga 2 Pro. It is cheaper in production and consumes less power than conventional RGB-stripe screens. However, PenTile screens use one-third fewer sub-pixels for reproducing the same resolution. The resulting loss of focus is compensated via rendering techniques, but apps and programs might blur depending on the zoom factor. This technology is used in the Yoga 2 13's screen; it has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.We noticed blurry logos, picture and fonts multiple times in the test, which resulted in a very unsightly image impression. Although that is usually tolerable from a normal distance, and the fairly small screen in relation to the resolution, it does not look nice.The brightness is middling compared with the contenders. Sony's Vaio Duo hp 350 g1 power adapter 13 and even the former Yoga 2 Pro have considerably brighter screens. The Yoga 2 13 achieves an average of 248.6 cd/m2. The illumination of 86% is satisfactory; no visible differences in brightness are seen with the naked eye.
Performance
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro The Yoga 2 Pro comes with an Intel Core i5-4200U processor with Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4GB of DDR3 memory, and a 128GB SSD. The combo gives the system brisk, if not earth-shattering performance. Day-to-day performance as measured by PCMark 7 is fine, and 3D performance is the best we can hope for with integrated Intel HD graphics (older and casual games should play fine). Handbrake (3 minutes 53 seconds) was a little slower than other systems like the Sony VAIO Duo 13 (1:23), pointing to a slower SSD. That said, you shouldn't have any problem keeping this system around for three to five years.Battery performance was average at 5 hours 42 minutes. The MacBook Pro is samsung np900x4c charger the class leader at 11:26, but even the better ultrabooks will make it to almost nine hours. For instance, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus lasts 8:15, and the Dell XPS 12 lasts 8:22. So it's good, but not great.The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is summed up by the terms innovative hinge and brilliant screen. If those are what you are looking for, then by all means grab one and extensively try it out. That said, the current Editors' Choice Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus is a better touch-screen ultrabook overall with a similar brilliant QHD+ screen. The Yoga 2 Pro is innovative because of its flexible usage scenarios, but its overall weight and bulkiness keeps it from getting our highest recommendation. If you can't quite give up the clamshell form factor, the Yoga 2 Pro is well worth trying out, but please hold on to your receipt if you're expecting an Apple iPad-like experience from the Yoga 2 Pro's Tablet mode.
Conclusion
All in all, the Lenovo Yoga 2 13 is a solid convertible hybrid laptop with good, but not stellar performance, and it doesn't quite live up to the build quality of past and current Yoga models. The convertible category is hit or miss, lenovo yoga 2 pro battery so we still haven't nailed down an Editors' Choice, but comparing it against the strongest competitors, namely the Dell XPS 12 and the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, the Lenovo Yoga 2 13 falls a bit short
