Lenovo is a Chinese multinational company with its main office at Beijing, China. It is founded in 1984 as Legend but it renamed to Lenovo in 2004. Lenovo name comes from two words Le and novo. Le means Legend and novo means new. Hence it refers to ‘New Legend’. It was started by ten engineers. Till now he purchased or joined with IBM’s personal computer division, NEC a Japanese company, Medion, CCE, etc.  So I hope till now you also found its reliability.

Yoga 13 is in Stand mode now, with keyboard and touch pad facing the desk, so they become inactive and the only input now you have is touchscreen. This orientation is ideal for watching a movie or making a Video Call reason being you can adjust screen to get the best viewing angle for you and for the other end of call respectively. Take caution and don’t operate Yoga 13 on wet, stick or dusty surface in Stand mode, since track pad keyboard is facing the desk.

Yoga 13 is in Tent mode now, with the keyboard and track pad being on the opposite side of the screen. This orientation is best for those who learn from YouTube Videos, this orientation helps them to play the video and place it on desk and perform simultaneously. Or mothers may find it useful as they can read recipes and cook simultaneously. Or you can use it as a nice, fancy Digital Photo Frame. The screen is not very steady in this position, but its fine for normal functioning.


 Lenovo Idea Pad 13 at 360 Degree turn:

Yoga 13 now turns into tablet mode with keyboard and track pad facing your lap. This machine cannot be help with one hand and this is obvious 13.3 inch screen can’t be expected to be light. This mode is capable of performing all the operation that a tablet is supposed to do, from email to web browsing and from Games to Reading, this beast does everything well.

Keyboard and Touch pad


Concave keys are very comfortable and ergonomic to use. The touch pad have a glassy finish and don’t have raised left and right clicks. The palm rest is great too, it neither get Hot nor cool up thus adding to the experience. It doesn’t have a back lit keyboard and for me it does not seem to be a deal breaker because in a dark room screen brightness light up the keys.

Final Conclusion


In my opinion this is a complete solution for all our computing need, thanks to different orientations. This device kick started the new form factor of laptops and I really appreciate that. Yes I do agree it have some lags while using touchscreen, but this is acceptable for the first in line laptop and hopefully will be improved with passage of time.

What I really like is 3 sec wake up time and just 7 sec booting time, this is pretty amazing besides the extra SSD slot. Over all I like this device and there is nothing deal breaker in this model. But if you are still not satisfied then you can wait for the improved version of Yoga 13 expected in near future.
