And anyway, 1.4kg for a convertible is pretty good. It's not out to break any records, because build quality and resilience is a big part of the X1 series's appeal. Magnesium is often used instead of aluminium to keep weight down, but at 1.4kg the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is similar to other high-end portables. Its screen isn't quite a rigid as a MacBook's, but that's only because there isn't a sheet of aluminium running across its back. It has a soft touch finish on every surface, but it's not just plastic underneath – it utilises layers of carbon fibre and a magnesium alloy internal structure to keep the weight low and tensile strength high. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga is actually slightly cheaper than the MacBook Pro 13 in many configurations – and that's before you even start talking about the eye-watering Touch Bar models. We've been big fans of the X1 range, but the price has always made the series hard to recommend to 'normal' friends. But just wave that corporate card and the guys in finance will sort it out, right?
Over the last few years they have been some of the most expensive laptops you can buy. ThinkPad X1s are often used by business types. Yet next to Apple's quad-core MacBook Pro options it suddenly doesn't seem too bad. However, it is possibly the best ultra-slim laptop in the world to work on, for one primary reason: the keyboard is divine a reminder why the ThinkPad line has just a dedicated fanbase.īut like every version of the ThinkPad X1, the Yoga costs a lot. Those after a Starbucks status symbol probably don't want a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga. It's all-black, has a nipple mouse in the middle of its keyboard that most of us haven't used since the 90s, and rejects almost every convention that Apple's MacBooks try to make trendy.
(Pocket-lint) - The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is the convertible version of nerdiest (or at least most business-like) ultra-portable laptop around.
