My Lenovo Yoga 900 Review

Hello guys welcome back,Today i will give review about Lenovo yoga 900 a hybrid laptop or 2-in-1 foldable device.Lenovo has had its fair share of success with the Yoga series.This 13 inch high end hybrid laptop is a competitor to other ultrabooks such as HP Spectre 13 and Acer Aspire S13

Design and Build:-
            It's a premium laptop it is evident that when you pick it up.Most of the chassis is built of plastic, which has a nice rubberised texture to it, but then you get champagne-coloured metal plates for the lid and the bottom, which give the device rigidity. The branding is tastefully done too, which adds to the premium look and feel.
         
Even in the latest refresh, the Yoga 900 sticks with its trademark articulating hinge, which has very good torsion, thus eliminating most of the screen wobble, no matter the angle. The device feels a bit heavy, even though it weighs only 1.3kg, and it’s quite slim at 14.9mm.
The stereo speakers are placed on the bottom towards the front, one on each side, and there are four rubber feet which help keep the laptop stable on flat surfaces. The rubberised lining of the chassis protrudes slightly outwards along the edges of the display and the base in order to provide grip when you use the Yoga 900 in different positions.

             You can use yoga 900 as a regular laptop or rotate the screen all the way till it's flat against the back of the lower half to make it a tablet.‘Tent’ and ‘Stand’ modes are both useful when you want to want to interact with the device through the touchscreen but keep it on a flat surface.
         The Lenovo Yoga 900 has a very fantastic display. The 1800x3200-pixel resolution on a 13.3-inch IPS panel serves up a density of 276ppi, which has quite a few other Ultrabooks in this segment beat. Coupled with high brightness levels and good viewing angles, colours are vivid and saturated, and text is crisp. The glossy panel is prone to reflections but when images and video look this good, we can live with this little niggle.
    Lenovo latop always have a good keyboards.The chiclet keys have very good tactile feedback with no flex, and the backlighting is even across the board. We would have liked a longer right ‘Shift’ key as it’s easy to mistake the arrow key for it. The trackpad is decently sized and works well. There’s a single button for left and right mouse clicks. Overall, we really like the Yoga 900 for its design, interesting choice of materials for the chassis, and very good display.
                

 Specifications and Features:-
          you get an Intel Core i7-6500U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. There’s also Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, an HD webcam and JBL speakers. The specifications are similar to those of the other Ultrabooks we’ve recently tested, so you should expect similar performance too. The Yoga 900 ships with Windows 10 Home 64-bit along with pre-installed software from Lenovo. 

Verdict:-
    The Lenovo Yoga 900 is priced at Rs. 1,23,690 which is not too bad. With this money, you get top-of-the-line Ultrabook specifications along with an excellent high-resolution display, a good keyboard, and decent battery life. Let’s not forget its ability to transform into a tablet too, if the occasion calls for it.
If we could change a few things, we would like an HDMI port built into the laptop. Lenovo could have at least thrown in some adapters for the Type-C port. We also hope the next version is lighter for better tablet usage.
Overall, the Yoga 900 is a very good hybrid laptop that balances portability and usability better than most other solutions in the market.
