Solid performance, Great display, Nice fit and finish
"Exposed" keyboard in tablet and stand modes, Potentially frustrating power button location, Limited to no more than 8GB of RAM
Lenovo deserves some credit for trying something new in the convertible notebook/tablet market. The Yoga 13 isn't “just a laptop with a touchscreen” like many of the new Windows 8 notebooks but Lenovo also wanted to try something different than the old-fa...

Abstract: Have you picked up your laptop lately? If it's getting long in the tooth, it's probably as heavy as it is slow. Fortunately there's no better time to look for a more portable and modern machine than during the holidays. Even if you can't find a year-end d...
The Lenovo Yoga is an excellent laptop, a mediocre tablet, and a computer that is thoroughly modern and made for Windows 8. Its form factor and excellent screen make it a competitor at its price range against last generation's top laptops and ultrabooks...
Brilliant flexibility means the Yoga can be two different devices in one, super sleek high-end design with sturdy build quality
Keyboard can prove irritating, battery life not as good as promised

A solid Ultrabook that isn't compromised by its tablet-y aspirations, Zippy performance courtesy of Ivy Bridge and the Samsung SSD (and in spite of Lenovo's typical crapware), 1600×900 IPS display has great color and viewing angles and, crucially, is not
Not as thin or light as some of its peers, Only two USB ports, and one of them is USB 2.0, At best, the size, weight, and exposed keyboard make it a sub-par tablet
Enlarge / Working the Yoga's hinge.Andrew CunninghamIn attempting to accommodate Windows 8's dual nature, much of the new hardware released for it feels in some way compromised. Hardware that's trying to be both an acceptable laptop and an acceptable tabl...

I'll admit it - at first I was a bit sceptical of the Yoga as a concept. In theory, it seems like an Ultrabook-slash-tablet is doomed to be mediocre at best. But the Yoga is surprisingly awesome. Sure, it's not going to replace your iPad, but for a la...
Gesture-control woes, Skimpy selection of ports, Keys lie on bottom in tablet mode, Lots of bundled software saps storage space
The IdeaPad Yoga 13's versatile screen hinge and stellar all-around design make it an early hybrid standout, but gesture-control quirks temper our enthusiasm a bit. ...
Very responsive, Versatile use scenarios (stand, tent, tablet, notebook modes), Solid hinges, Roomy touchpad & comfortable keyboard, Nice high res display
Lackluster graphics performance, Premium price compared to similarly equipped ultrabooks
In our real world testing, the system was a pleasure to use. Not only was it responsive, but the keyboard and touchpad were very comfortable to use as well. In addition, the muti-touch display was quick to respond to our demands and we found it to be usef...
Tablet and notebook in one, Responsive Touch screen with Windows 8, Hinge allows for multiple positions
No backlit keyboard, Keyboard exposed in tablet mode, Lower than average battery life, The IdeaPad Yoga 13 is an Ultrabook Convertible, IdeaPad Yoga 13| $999, IdeaPad Yoga 13 Review Guide, Video Review, Design, Display, Keyboard and Touchpad, Performance
The IdeaPad Yoga 13 is one of the most exciting notebooks we've used in a long time thanks to Lenovo's adventurous design, but there are a few issues. The Yoga 13 is good at being a tablet and good at being a notebook, which makes for a good overall exper...
Great keyboard, trackpad and touchscreen, Smooth, responsive display, Excellent speakers
A little heavy
The Yoga is perhaps one of the most usable devices on the market. It has a great keyboard, trackpad, and touchscreen, and can be used in multiple positions....
