The editors liked
Slender and lightweight design looks great
Quality finish and standout watchband hinge
Decent trackpad and taut keyboard experience
Good battery performance for its class
The Lenovo Yoga 900S is easily one of the lightest
And thereby most comfortable
2-in-1 laptops I've ever used. It's lighter than a MacBook while featuring stronger specs for a lower price – that includes a sharper screen and faster processor
More than
Impeccably thin
Full
Sized USB 3.0 ports
Amazing engineering
The editors didn't like
Large bottom bezel looks strange
Small shift key can be annoying
More expensive than its more powerful Yoga 900 brother
Screen a tad too reflective
If you're looking for the best performing machine
This probably isn't it. The 2-in-1 scored worse in every benchmark test save for battery life in its category. While I didn't feel like the Yoga 900S was ever power-deficient

Good battery life, High quality workmanship, Passive cooling system,
Unsuccessful coloring keyboard, The keys are too small, No memory card slot
Lenovo Yoga 900S turned out much better than the first generation. Lenovo was able to take into account almost all the criticisms. However, there were many new flaws. Some users will not miss a memory card slot, and the selection of the keyboard colors qu...

Lenovo is a respected name in laptops, and the Yoga 900S doesn't disappoint. If you really need the additional horsepower you can get the Yoga 900, but if portability is important to you I don't think the extra bulk and weight are worth the incremental pe...
Weak Core m5 performance, Unimpressive touchpad, No Pen included
The Lenovo Yoga 900S is a beautiful 2-in-1 lightweight PC with plenty of battery life and enough performance for general web browsing and casual video streaming. Unfortunately, this notebook lacks enough muscle to handle just about anything else.The only...
high quality glossy touchscreen; 1080p and 1440p options, very long battery life; high capacity battery, small and portable; only 1 kg in weight, accessible internals; upgradeable SSD, good build quality, completely silent, USB Type-C port
average NVMe SSD performance, no SD reader or WWAN options, unimpressive stereo speakers, CPU and GPU throttling, very shallow key travel, pricey
It's hard to not like the Yoga 900S at first glance. It's attractive, silent, long-lasting, and incredibly easy to pick up and play when indoors or on-the-go. Workmanship and quality are solid and worthy of the flagship Yoga 900 name. In this sense, it's...
Abstract: “Is that a… laptop?” the waitress at the diner near my apartment asked (I had taken the Lenovo Yoga 900s with me to get some work done). “Sort of!” I said, quickly bending the screen around to demonstrate the Yoga lines defining feature: the watchband hi...
Ravishing thin and light design, Long battery life, Four-mode flexibility, Pleasing screen and keyboard
Tepid Core m5 performance, Only 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, No memory card slot
Lenovo trims the heavenly-hinged Yoga 900 to 2.2 pounds, creating a convertible that'll tempt ultrabook shoppers. We suggest you get the Core m7 model in Champagne Gold. Read More…...
Light Frame, Thin Profile & Good Looks, Watchband hinge, USB Type-C & USB Ports, USB as Power Port, Decent Battery life
Keyboard lacks enough travel, Bezels too big around screen, Physical Start button is unnecessary and adds to the bezel, Lots of tech reviewers like to compare any good-looking device with Apple's MacBook. I don't think that's a fair comparison, or a neces

Innovative hinge allows for many usage modes, Extremely light and thin for a convertible, Long-lasting battery, Includes USB-C port, Supports optional Active Pen
Pricey, 4GB of memory, 128GB SSD, Auxiliary keys are small
The Lenovo Yoga 900S is one of the thinnest and longest-lasting convertible-hybrid Windows laptops you can get. It's highly portable and has a full-size keyboard, but you will pay for these conveniences...
Core m5 model trails competitors in performance, No included pen, Stiff click button
The Lenovo Yoga 900s packs a crisp display and cozy keyboard into an ultraslim, wonderfully luxurious design, but power users should get the Core m7 model...
Very light and slim convertible. Works with Wacom AES digital pen (not included though). Quiet fanless operation
Keyboard has extremely short travel and isn't very tactile. Color gamut on the 1080p model is below average for price range
If you want a very thin and light convertible that's actually comfortable for note taking and drawing, the Lenovo Yoga 900S has strong appeal. It's not as heavy or bulky as 13" convertibles and the fanless design and cool operation mean it's comfy and qui...
