Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro – Test of the Flexible Ultrabooks
Whether expensive or cheap: as early as 2012 should Ultrabooks have a market share of 40 percent, but this brand was not achieved in 2013. But the chic and lightweight computers are clearly on the rise: In the meantime, more than one in four portable computers sold worldwide is a Ultrabook (as of December 2013). A particularly versatile specimen has Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro with the offer.
Excellent display.
The 13.3-inch screen (33.78 cm) represents pixels with 3,200×1,800 almost twice as many pixels are as Ultrabooks with Full HD display. Thus, the Lenovo shows videos and photo’s razor sharp. And the display has the hang of it: It can be flipped 360 degrees to the rear of the keyboard. Thus, the device is suitable either as a notebook, tablet and even an all-in-one PC with touch screen. Super: Finger Tips takes the contrary precisely display and places them without delay in order.
Keyboard for improvement, touchpad OK.
For longer texts on the touch is unsuitable better off with the keyboard. And by input device from Lenovo texts can tap pleasant. But what annoys: The keyboard is mounted very soft – at a slightly greater pressure is the entire unit after. That does not fit so well to the otherwise very high-quality impression of Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. And the touchpad is not perfect: Sporadic put it in the test ” clicks ” is not.
High speed of work.
The Lenovo uses a processor from Intel’s current Haswell Row: The Core i5-4200U has two cores clocked at 1.6 GHz each, with power-hungry tasks you go up to 2.6 GHz up. The processor has eight gigabytes of memory to the side, data such as photos, videos and documents you store on a fast SSD, instead of a lame hard disk. Hook: SSDs are expensive, so are only 256 GB of storage available. The pace of work was in the test but thanks to nimble SSD and CPU faster consistently high, whether with simple office and Internet applications or for complex video processing.
Long battery life.
The Lenovo came with Office applications of four hours and eight minutes without power, with the video playback battery after three hours and 57 minutes it was empty. Good: The charging time was relatively short with two hours and 40 minutes.
Low-noise operation.
Sure, a long battery life is important, but quiet operation also: And the Lenovo made a good figure: neither for simple Internet applications, even for complex video editing could be heard in the test it. And the temperature at the bottom side remained at 23.5 degrees in the frame (unlike the ambient temperature).
Conclusion – Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro.
Good Ultrabooks offer a brilliant screen, are chic, easy, and damn fast – but too damn expensive. These are well for the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro It scores with high speed and excellent display, which can be flipped 360 degrees to the rear.
