Lenovo Yoga 900 convertible laptop and 900 Home desktop UK prices announced
I met the funky-hinged Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro laptop at this years IFA and now the company have officially announced their 900 range in the form of the Lenovo Yoga 900 premium hybrid laptop tablet that is equipped with a 360 degree hinge and the desktop-loving Home 900.
Lenovo Yoga 900
As the world’s thinnest Intel Core i convertible laptop the new Lenovo Yoga 900 is beautifully slim and feather light (14.9 mm and 1.29 kg), and yet has more than enough power under the hood.
The Yoga 900 provides flexibility with four usage modes, as is the way with Lenovo’s Yoga series (laptop, stand, tent, tablet), which allows users to work, watch or play in a variety of scenarios.
As well as the spec sheet there’s that watchband-like hinge made of more than 800 intricately woven, individual pieces.
The new-and-improved watchband hinge provides a noticeably smoother rotation – allowing users to flip and fold their Yoga 900 easily into different modes.
The convertible laptop also takes full use of Windows 10 Continuum, which enables users to seamlessly move between laptop and tablet modes on their Yoga 900. It has 50% greater battery density (compared to the previous generation), allowing it to achieve up to nine hours of local video playback.
From working through a long-haul flight in laptop mode to enjoying a movie marathon in stand mode to reading while commuting in tablet mode, the super-light Yoga 900 can flex into nearly any position to fit into users’ lives.
The much awaited Lenovo Yoga 900 is powered by an Intel Core i7-6500U processor with Intel HD 520 graphics and is equipped with a 13.3 inch display providing users with a resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels.
Other features of the Yoga 900 hybrid tablet include connectivity via 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0, 1 x USB Type C 3.0 port with video-out support, 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A ports. As well as a SDXC card reader and a 66 Whr battery providing up to 10 hours of battery life.
The system is available with options to install at least 8 GB of RAM together with a 256 GB solid state disk (SSD).
The 13.3-inch QHD screen can be partnered with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 940 graphics and 16GB of RAM.
Entertainment experiences become more immersive with the device’s JBL stereo speakers and Dolby Audio Premium for powerful sound that’s crisp and clear. Users can escape into a home-theater quality experience virtually anywhere — with audio that dynamically adjusts to deliver a virtual surround sound experience over the Yoga 900’s speakers and through headphones.
Lenovo YOGA 900: Starts at €1,299, and comes in a variety of colours: clementine orange, platinum silver and champagne gold. It will be available on www.lenovo.com in the second half of October.
