Superior quality IPS display, Transforms into a tablet…and more, Top, notch keyboard (for typing), Surprisingly affordable, Snappy performance
No backlit keyboard, Touch response is inconsistent, Average battery life, Not fast enough for gaming, Lacks 1080 screen
Because all Windows 8 Ultrabooks share the same specification - at press time, every Ultrabook featured the same base processor - hardware and design will be the differentiating factor for the next half year, and possibly longer. That means aesthetics, b...

Very flexible in physical configuration

The Yoga screen and hinge system works really well. Great ultrabook overall, excellent quality screen, good value and decent performance. Nice keyboard and trackpad feel
Too bulky for a standalone tablet replacement. Keyboard pressed against table when in tablet mode it's not backlit
As I mentioned earlier, using the Yoga 13 as a notebook is really no different than any other system in terms of usability. It’s a whole different story when you transform it to tablet mode, however. The whole tablet experience is heavily reliant on t...
