In short? Despite its missteps
The ThinkPad Yoga is our favorite Lenovo device we've had the pleasure of testing so far this year. For casual consumers
We'd say it's the best Yoga available
And for business professionals
Below-average battery life
Comparably slow SSD speeds
Color range in display is lacking
Display choices top out at 1920 by 1080
So-so battery life
Thicker and heavier many of its competitors
Though an excellent keyboard
We wouldn't mind more key travel
Battery life is adequate but not stellar
The screen is smaller and lacks the higher resolution of the similar Yoga 2 Pro. The hidden keyboard adds mechanical complexity to what should be a rugged road system. The upgrades you'll want drive the price up quickly
Pricey
Short on ports
Weak
Low-res Webcam
Less storage capacity than its competition. Mini HDMI rather than full-size HDMI port
Price as tested is rather high
Slow SSD speeds
Weak color reproduction
Relatively bulky
Self-flattening keyboard seems less useful on a machine that's this cumbersome to use in tablet mode
Powerful, outstanding build quality, great keyboard, runs full Windows, versatile choice of hardware
Low battery life, quite heavy, expensive, poor camera
The Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 12 is a fast, well-built ultrabook/tablet hybrid that's flexible in more ways than one. Still, a weak battery and high starting prices mean it won't be the convertible to end all convertibles...

simple design, excellent build quality, convertible formfactor, great keyboard and trackpad, plenty of configurations/options, runs cool and quiet
limited selection of ports, tiny speakers, average battery life
The ThinkPad Yoga is a versatile and sturdy laptop. The form factor is definitely a plus added on top of those iconic ThinkPad characteristics: solid body, simple looks, good keyboard, plenty of features. All these don't come cheap though....
Good performance for a hybrid, Clever fold, over tablet mode, Digitiser pen option, Excellent keyboard, Pretty good battery life
VGA/LAN require OneLink dock accessory
As a jack of all trades, Lenovo's ThinkPad Yoga doesn't do quite as good a job as the ThinkPad Helix with its sleeker, fully detachable tablet portion. However, the Helix is also considerably more expensive. The Yoga is still priced within the general te...
ThinkPad Yoga is a well-designed and versatile convertible device, with a high-quality IPS display that will particularly appeal to business travelers who need to give presentations when they're visiting clients. However, the use of a sluggish hard drive...
Abstract: The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga isn't as slim or sexy as its colorful consumer-oriented sibling, the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro , nor does it have the Yoga 2 Pro's alluring 3820-by-1200-pixel display. But this hybrid Ultrabook checks all the must-have business feature b...
Review: Lenovo ThinkPad YogaReview by Andrew YewWhen I mention ‘Lenovo Yoga', people usually think of the IdeaPad Yoga, with its bright orange lid and slim chassis build. An Ultrabook through and through, the Yoga has indeed served the Chinese giant well...

With retail prices starting from RM4999, there are other Ultrabooks with touch displays which cost less. None, however, can boast meeting eight military-grade specifications for durability. Few, too, offer three years onsite warranty as standard. I'm very...
