60% Lenovo Yoga 2
Source: Digital Versus Archive.org version
The 11" Lenovo Yoga 2 is a decent, adaptable ultrabook that's pretty pleasant to use, provided you don't ask too much of it. Considering its portable design, it's a shame that Lenovo hasn't offered a more impressive battery life: you may find that this hampers its ability to perform tasks.

HP or Lenovo: Which Windows PC Convertible Is Head of the Class?
Source: Recode Archive.org version
The HP Pavilion x360 and Lenovo Yoga 2. Both are 11-inch convertible Windows PCs with a 360-degree hinge design, meaning that you can fold the keyboard back under the display to use it as a tablet. The Pavilion x360 starts at $400, and the Yoga 2 starts at $489. If you’re in the market for a new laptop, and like the idea of hybrid design, the Lenovo Yoga 2 is a good choice. It’s a little more expensive than the HP Pavilion x360, but you’ll get more for the money.

70% Lenovo Yoga 2 11 review – the affordable 2-in-1 laptop
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
The 11 inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is one of the most interesting affordable 2-in-1s available right now. It sports the convertible form factor and a sleek and solid body, an IPS touchscreen and a fanless Intel platform able to handle everyday activities well enough. Just don't get the base version that comes with a slow HDD (or upgrade it if you do) and don't expect too much in terms of battery life.

Model: The term Yoga in the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11 inch highlights the flexibility of the device to be flipped and folded in 4 different forms, which are laptop, tent, stand and tablet mode. Elegantly designed, the laptop has a metallic look with a grey finish highlighted with the black tile keyboard. Contours and lines are kept simplistic allowing for simplicity to shine brightest.

The Windows 8.1 64 bit system comes with an Intel Quad Core Pentium N3520 processor, 4 GB DDR3L RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4200 GPU and 500 GB SSHD with integrated 8 GB NAND flash.

Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, dual array microphone, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, a 2-in-1 card reader and a micro-HDMI output.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

69.14%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
