Design and Features
Yoga 2 11 is the low cost development of hybrid convertible laptops such as the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro . Our review unit is the Best Buy specific - , dark - silver lid , while models purchased directly from Lenovo have a choice of silver or light clementine orange . The keyboard deck has a matte , light silver color , which contrasts well with the dark keys with comfortable non - backlit keyboard . Each key is convex and sculpted to make it easier to type on . One - piece touchpad is a little on the small side , but it responds to multitouch commands . The QWERTY keyboard is full size , although auxiliary keys such as the arrow keys , ALT , and CTRL is a little smaller than you used to .
The 11.6 - inch , 10 - point touch screen equals one HP Pavilion 11tn000 x360 , although the 2 screens Yoga 11 seems a bit brighter . Navigating Windows 8.1 ' s touch UI is easy , and because the screen is a relatively low 1,366 -by - 768 resolution ( though typical for this category ) , you do not have to fiddle with the zoom controls to view all things to desktop mode . Screen can flip around its hinge , so it can be used in four modes . Laptop mode is the usual clamshell laptop orientation . Stand mode puts the keyboard face down on the table so you can use the screen to watch the video with the rest of the laptop body out of the way . Tent mode flips the laptop over so the middle hinge is facing the sky : it makes it more stable touch screen for extended touch sessions , but as seen below , this mode is not always necessary . Last , but not least , Tablet mode lets you use 2 11 Yoga as a slate tablet .
At £ 2.78 , the Yoga 2 11 is twice as heavy as an Apple iPad , but still much lighter than competing with the ability to touch - like the Toshiba laptop Satellite NB15t - A1304 . And thanks to its smaller size ( 8.25 by 11.75 by 0.67 inches , HWD ) , the system is easier to carry around as a tablet larger than Yoga 2 Pro .
The thin chassis is a lack of I / O ports . There's a USB 2.0 port , one USB 3.0 port , an SD card reader , and a headset jack . With micro - HDMI port for external display , but you'll need an adapter to connect to most HDTV . For wireless connectivity , the system has a 2.4GHz 802.11 b / g / n Wi - Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 , but not 5GHz 802.11 a / n / ac .
The screen is rock - solid , so using touch gestures when the system is in laptop mode worked fine . The HP x360 display more stable when I was playing the game link to it intensely . Lenovo additional motion control system , but we think that it is now largely a gimmick . Waving your hand in front of the webcam gets old real fast and only makes sense when you are doing activities like flipping pages in Yoga Chef cookbook app . It 's still a little kludgy , so we think motion controls are still a solution in search of a problem .
There are not too many pre - installed apps mucking up the Start screen . Included in this Accuweather.com , eBay , Evernote Touch , Kindle , Central McAfee , Microsoft Office ( Trial ) , rara music , and Zinio . Lenovo also added some of its own apps like Lenovo Comrade , Comrade Phone Yoga , Yoga Man Camera , Photo Touch Yoga , and Yoga Chef . Yoga Picks app is a great way to highlight the apps they do not necessarily pre - installed . Open Yoga Selection app , and it gives you an updated list of downloadable apps that works in four modes of the system . For example , it recommends Lenovo Air Hockey for tablet mode , game mode for Tent , watching video apps for stand mode , and general apps for Laptop mode . Storefront maintains many pre - loaded apps off the 500GB hard drive . The system has a one- year warranty .
