Lisa Gade reviews the new ThinkPad X1 Yoga from Lenovo. This is essentially the lovely ThinkPad X1 Carbon with a 360 degree hinge, lift and lock keyboard and a Wacom AES pen. It’s remarkably thin and light (2.8 lbs/1.27 Kg) for a 14” Windows 10 convertible, yet it’s rigid, durable and has a spill resistant keyboard.

This 2-in-1 runs on Intel 6th generation Skylake Core i5 and i7 dual core 15 watt CPUs with Intel HD 520 graphics. It’s typically available with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 or 512 gig SSD (both SATA and PCIe available as options). You can get it with a 1920 x 1080 full HD anti-glare display or a QHD display (all support touch and the included pen). An AMOLED QHD panel will be available as an option in April 2016.
The laptop has Intel dual band WiFi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.1, optional 4G LTE-A and optional WiGig. It has an ample selection of ports, a 52 Whr battery and works with Lenovo’s OneLink docks. Pricing ranges from $1,440 to $2,000. You can use it in laptop, tent mode, tablet and presentation modes.
