Review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11s Ultrabook Transformer
Ultrabooks have become so familiar thing that it has become difficult to attract buyers by reducing the size of the device. We have to invent something more interesting - they began to make transformers. Lenovo followed this path with the Yoga line. We will look at one of them today: Yoga 11S with a 360-degree touch screen and Windows 8 Pro on board.
Processor: 2-core Intel Core i7 1500 MHz
RAM: DDR3L 8G 1600 MHz
SSD: 256GB
Screen: glossy multi-touch (up to 10 points) 11.6 ”HD LED TS
Video: Intel HD Graphics 4000
Webcam: 1 Megapixel
Battery: Li-Polymer 2840 mAh
Weight: 1.39 kg
Length x width x thickness (mm) - 297 x 204 x 17
Presented in two colors - orange and silver.
Cost on Yandex. Market: 43,800 ... 58,145 rubles.
An ultrabook was brought to me in a huge plain box of cardboard that could fit my old 15.6 ”laptop. Inside - a black box, much, as they say, better. Hefty packaging allows you to protect the inner box from damage - this is especially important if someone thinks of sending Yoga in the Russian Post.

Included are the power supply, wire and instructions. It even explained how to keep your back properly while working.
The power supply is miniature, it weighs almost nothing.
The ultrabook looks stylish - the metal case is covered with a matte coating. The most pleasant thing is the tactile sensations from the velvety surface outside and inside. Yoga stands firmly on the surface, does not crawl. The body is thin, but not pointed - they will not be able to cut bread. And it is surprisingly little like the products of another well-known manufacturer, which just love to cut something .
Keyboard island type, literate, with no extra keys and with the correct location and size available. Lenovo's traditional joystick is not.
Yoga is equipped with HDMI, one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 connector, an SD slot, one combo headphone jack with a microphone.
The case is sound, I did not find any backlashes. The display reclines smoothly, no special effort is needed, but it will not hang out at the same time.
Ultrabook turns on almost instantly. It is heated slightly, but I don’t advise keeping it in my usual position for a long time - it will still be hot. About the noise: the cooler can be heard only if you attach the device to your ear and around it will be quiet.
Two built-in speakers (seen in the photo above on the side faces) and the integrated Dolby Home Theater v4 system make watching movies enjoyable - the sound is surround, there are no wheezing. I expected less.
The keyboard is surprisingly comfortable. Most often, I need time to get used to the new device. This time I went to work instantly, and after a couple of hours I noticed that there were no Russian symbols on my keyboard at all. The only thing that was a little embarrassing - the lack of a scroll on the touchpad, had to get used to scrolling through the display.
Using the device when the display is rotated 360 degrees is convenient for viewing the tape on social networks, but there will be problems with typing - unless you put Yoga on your knees. On weight, you can keep it only with two hands, and then not for long - it's still 1.4 kg. Unusual keyboard feel on the back side.
The position of the "stand" - in my opinion, the most convenient for work, if there is no need to type a large amount of text.
I often have to post posts on Facebook and a wild number of tweets at events. I can do some part of this work with a smartphone, but something is more convenient from a laptop. In the case of Yoga, I need only one device that allows me to work on a normal keyboard at any time, and use the display the rest of the time.
An 11 "inch display supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. The resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels. The viewing angle is 180 degrees. Above it is a 1 megapixel camera. An important advantage of Yoga is that the display tilts 360 degrees, so it won't be able to break it off in this way. To be honest, I don’t know how to break it off.
Another important component of the work anywhere for me is the need to charge the device as rarely as possible. The battery lasted for four hours of video viewing and parallel surfing on the network.
At the same time, the advantage and disadvantage is the weight: 1.4 kg for a laptop - great, but too much for a tablet. Photographing in tablet mode, as the owners of iPads are used to doing, will not work - there is no camera keypad.
It is convenient to put on your knees "stand" or on the stomach with a "house" (if you are lying) .. The display responds well to touch, the keyboard will spring gently. It turns on instantly, works smartly. Work is pleasant and convenient.
