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 ha...

Decent display colour, light and portable, quiet, handy tilt mechanism, far more affordable than predecessor
Not very powerful, chunky and awkward as a tablet
Appreciating the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 is all about managing your expectations as it doesn't offer the screen quality of a dedicated tablet or the battery life of a MacBook Air. But we kind of don't care, because the hinge mechanism makes for a great de...

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 enou...

The Yoga 2 11 is well-built for a budget laptop, and offers the same tablet and kiosk modes as its more-expensive cousins. Keyboard and touch pad are similarly impressive for the price
The lower-power CPU doesn't offer fully mainstream performance, and the keyboard flexes under even light typing
Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 combines the popular Yoga hybrid design with an affordable 11-inch ultraportable for a system that's budget-feeling but sturdy, and one of the best of a new breed of low-cost hybrids....

After all is said and done, this is a competent—if unexciting—entry-level laptop. It's not bad , per se , but it's definitely not a device that will feel fresh for years down the line. It's fun and versatile, but with specs that already feel outdated and ...
Affordable, Fast in multi-threaded apps, Cool and quiet
Cheap construction, Still heavy and awkward when used as a tablet, 1366x768 display, Poor keyboard and touchpad, Very slow single-core, 3D and hard drive performance
The Lenovo Yoga 2 11-inch is smaller than the 13-inch version, but suffers from many of the same problems. While using the system as a tablet is a bit less awkward, it's still uncomfortable due to excessive weight and the uncovered keyboard, which alway...
The latest Lenovo is another slick hybrid, with a good mechanism that's strong and easy to use. As usual, though, machines of this type involve compromises: it's too cumbersome for tablet use, and the keyboard is too poor to make this a satisfying laptop...
