About IdeaPad Yoga 13
The best about this tablet is that it measures a whooping 13.3-inch (diagonal) despite being a clamshell with 1,600x900 pixels. This makes the display crisp, clear and good to view any kind of content, especially when we are talking about a convertible.
The design and style of the laptop does not compromise on its performance. It is on par with any ultrabook. You can easily rely upon this sleek and trendy tablet to double up as a laptop when you need it and a tablet when you are under space constrain or traveling. The best feature is the fold away keyboard that flips at the back of the screen the moment you want to use it as a tablet.
Using Windows 8 on the Yoga makes sense for those who want technological advancement and style too. Yoga is priced at $1,099. The higher end of this tablet is Intel Core i5/8GB RAM/128GB with SSD, the other standard version Core i3 is priced at $999. Nonetheless, any techno-geek would like to grab this convertible tablet.
Other specs include a HDD of 500GB 5,400rpm and a graphic chipset of Intel HM77 and Intel HD 4000 for good graphics and crisp display.
Physical Form
The Dimensions (WD) of this tablet stands at 13.1x8.9 inches and 0.67 inch in height and the screen of 13.5 (diagonal). When it comes to the keyboard of Yoga 13 you may find it a bit disappointing especially with the Shift key, it is so small that you may accidentally hit the arrow key. The keys are narrow and you need to be careful while typing. As far as the touchpad is concerned, the multi-finger gestures are incorporated in it but it is still not as smooth as finger-touch on Windows 8 UI.
Now when you flip the screen back in the slate mode, the keyboard is expected to disappear but it does not. You will still be able to feel the bulky protrusion, however, it is de-activated the moment you flip it back. Additionally this position of flipped keyboard facilitates you to prop it up on the table without damaging the keys. What you get in this flip position is easy to access volume buttons and rotation lock.
Another thing to notice is the sharing or the stand mode. This mode allows a user to fold the screen to 270 degrees back. This is more like a transformation of the gadget into a kiosk that is touch enabled. This allows a user to share presentations, videos and other media across the entire social network.
When you keep the device in the tent mode, it is more like an upright vertical position; it can only serve the purpose of slide show display or a digital frame.
Connectivity
The IdeaPad Yoga 13 is something that is still not on par with the ultrabooks or laptops that are well connected. With dual USB ports 2.0 and 3.0, HDMI port included, easy audio jack input and expandable memory option with SD (card slot). The tablet still lacks the inbuilt Ethernet connectivity. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth and an 802.11n Wi-Fi.
The verdict
The best thing about IdeaPad Yoga 13 is its stylish, sleek and trendy look and the form adaptability. The screen rotation of 360 degrees is something that will have you gasping at first glance. Other things include the transformation of the device into 4 positions that facilitates for easy use.
The only drawback it seems to have is that of comparing it with a laptop, it does not comes close to the sturdiness of a conventional laptop. For all those who are looking for a hybrid convertible and a device powered by the latest technology, the IdeaPad Yoga 13 is the one for you.
