The Yoga isn't particularly exciting, nor does it feel very high-end, but it’s nice to look at and it’s plenty rugged. It's softly tapered on the sides, with rounded edges that feel comfortable against my wrist. This year’s model is just a hair over 3 pounds, and 0.61 inches thick - imperceptibly both thinner and heavier than the same-size MacBook Air - with a soft, matte gray shell and a textured black palm rest. The Yoga 13 was actually one of the more restrained, inside-the-box visions for what a Windows 8 device might look like, how it might marry touch with mouse and keyboard.

Battlestar is a long show.įor the most part, the Yoga 2 Pro feels like any other laptop. My charger’s all the way out in the living room, and I’m not getting out of bed anytime soon. The Yoga 2 Pro is never going to replace the iPad mini for subway rides and mobile gaming, but if it can be both a solid ultrabook and a great in-bed TV, it’ll solidly be worth its $1,049.99 price tag.Īs long as it has good battery life, anyway. It’s supposedly equal parts laptop and tablet - and this year’s model comes with a massively improved display that ought to make it better in either case. This is a laptop with a twist, a flexible hinge that lets the screen rotate a full 360 degrees. It’s the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, the follow-up to one of the first great Windows 8 ultrabooks. Plus I have another device here with me, one even better-suited to the task. Normally this is a job for my iPad mini with Retina display, but ever since I lost its Smart Cover watching shows in bed requires a perfect and precarious leaning of tablet against pillow stack. In other words, it’s the perfect day to spend the morning lying in bed, finally catching up on the Friday Night Lights and Battlestar Galactica seasons I somehow missed a few years ago. It’s Sunday, it’s January, and it’s freezing outside.
