It's official, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a completely different beast than the Yoga 11. This one has a great screen and sound quality of the type we'd like to see more often on ultrabooks. With good battery life and a lightweight body, the Yoga 13 is...

Lenovo has experimented with ways to convert laptop to tablet before, notably with the ThinkPad Twist , but the IdeaPad Yoga 13 converts from laptop to tablet by flipping the screen all the way over so it sits underneath the keyboard. It's on sale now fo...

The IdeaPad Yoga 13 offers an intriguing take on the tablet/laptop hybrid theme. It's well built, and works effectively, even if it's a bit heavy to be very attractive as a tablet. It's a shame the performance level doesn't quite match the premium price...

Chinese PC powerhouse Lenovo’s Yoga 13 might look like a regular ultrabook, but it’s not. Bend this baby backwards, and you’re left with a very capable, if not slightly heavy, tablet. Interesting you might say, but what is the practical value? For us...

Never before has a hinge seemed like such a big deal, but Windows 8 has done some strange things to laptop manufacturers. While the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 might look like most other laptops, it is actually a lithe, excitingly hinged transforming machin...

Moving somewhat off the beaten track, we arrive at this, the IdeaPad Yoga. We keep getting told that Windows 8 is an operating system designed to work with tablet PCs, so here's an Ultrabook that more or less approximates one. The convertible IdeaPad Yoga...

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is perhaps the simplest laptop-tablet hybrid we’ve ever seen. It ditches the fancy sliding mechanisms and double screens found in other convertible Ultrabooks and instead gives you a super-flexible hinge that lets you fold th...

The Lenovo Yoga 13 is the bigger and more powerful member of the Yoga family, the handy double-jointed hinged series of laptops that lead a double life as both an Ultrabook and a full-sized Windows 8 tablet. Is this thin touchscreen wünderkind your nex...
Lenovo’s taken some cues from its rock solid ThinkPad line with the Yoga: it’s a sturdy bit of kit. While there’s only a slight bit of flex in the keyboard and it’s quite hefty folded over in 'tablet' mode, the rest of the machine is rigid and definitely screams high quality when it first graces your hands.The transforming nature of the Yoga is what makes it unique: it folds back perfectly as des...
Unfortunately, while the Lenovo Yoga 13 excels as an Ultrabook with a touchscreen when working with Windows 8, its size makes it too big to be truly useful as a full-time tablet. Folded on itself, as a tablet it’s a bit ungainly, and the widescreen ratio of a laptop just isn’t helpful when you’re holding the machine, rather than the table: it’s too wide to comfortably type with, and impossibly lo...
The Lenovo Yoga 13 is a great touchscreen Ultrabook, but its tablet function falls flat due to the unwieldy size and heft, making it more party trick than useful talent. On the other hand, its propped up tent option more than makes up for it, and makes...

We're in the throes of the Windows 8 revolution and there are already all manner of twisty, folding, laptop-cum-tablet touchscreen devices out there. The Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13's tact is to opt for a single screen that, while it looks like a more conv...

The Yoga 13 is as much a visual treat as it is an excellently designed laptop. We love the way the screen can be positioned through 360 degrees, but the overall expense and exposed keyboard in the tablet-like position are two standout issues. Still, if...

To be fair to Lenovo, reviewing the IdeaPad Yoga shouldn't really be all about Windows 8. After all, this touchscreen Ultrabook – that bends over backwards to become a fully fledged tablet – is a well crafted piece of hardware with engineering merits of i...
While I didn't expect to become a Windows 8 convert, I'm certainly less of a sceptic and I'll admit I enjoyed using the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, but I'm not convinced working on it is going to be plain sailing. Without hardware like this, Microsoft's big...

Probably! The Yoga is a great laptop in its own right. Having a touchscreen and tablet mode is nice, but having a machine that actually works well is most important. From what we've seen, the Yoga pulls that off the best of the new Windows 8 machines. Len...
