Lenovo’s next device in the Yoga family is 900; a beautiful, portable and transforming ultrabook. It doesn't only looks stunning also packed with powerful hardware combination. Lenovo’s yoga series have already made lots of noise in the marketplace and the new device is ready to boost the competition in the high-end ultrabook segment.

The multimode device with a beautifully crafted chassis

The sleek and lightweight ultrabook comes with its most attractive and innovative watchband hinge that lets you fold it 360 degrees, meaning you can use this in any mode without any trouble. Lenovo Yoga 900The hinge is made of 813 individual pieces which not only gives it beauty as well keep it stable in every mode. And if you look closer, the cooling vent is hiding behind the hinges.

Super sharp touch screen

The 13-inch convertible has a 3200x1800-pixel screen which is super sharp and produces rich colors. The touchscreen is quite responsive and lets you operate the machine easily in every mode. No matter at which mode and what you are watching you will find a wonderful experience with the screen. The only problem that we get with it is – screen attracts lots of smudges and also brightness level is slightly low.

Lenovo added a capacitive-touch start button beneath the display and rest ports are placed at right and left sides, including the power button and USB ports.

Keyboard and Touchpad

As like previous Lenovo Yoga laptops, this time also, it features scallop-shaped keys, along with two levels of backlighting.

With just 1.1 mm of travel distance between keys, typing experience on it is really good. The touchpad measures 3.5x2.5 inches, which is quite responsive to our touch.

The Dolby audio and webcam

Yoga 900 is equipped with a powerful JBL speaker featuring Dolby DS 10.0 Home Theater Certification. This produces crisp and rich sound, however, we missed the base, still we got the awesome audio experience while watching the video or listening to music. 

Yoga 900 has a 14-Mp 720p web camera which captures decent quality images with sharp details.

Performance

Yoga 900 is coupled with a powerful combination that makes it capable of handling demanding home or business users’ computing needs. During the test, we used the device for more than 2-weeks and it worked really well in our day-to-day tasks. To test its ability we moved ahead and used two browsers, Chrome, and Mozilla with more than 10 tabs in each. Simultaneously, we used MS-office (Word and excel), there was no lag in the performance even going further we opened Photoshop, but there was no visible lag even while switching between apps. It's not a gaming machine, still as it comes with Intel HD Graphics 520, so you can play some of the light games easily.

In one full charge, it can stay with you for more than 8 hours with moderate usage, internet browsing, MS-office, video play, etc. In our Battery Mark bench, it resulted with 3 hours and 02 minutes of backup that uses 100% of CPU, RAM, and brightness levels.
