The housing of yoga consists of plastic, but my orange version is at least kept in a lightweight metal finish, which gives the device a wertigeres appearance. Despite the plastic housing is comfortable grip. The keyboard is the typical Lenovo keyboard. I am personally of the opinion that this Lenovo keyboards pretty much is the best keyboard that has been installed in a notebook. However, the pressure point could still be a tiny touch firmer, but it is also matter of habit. The trackpad is a disputed question: do you really need in a Convertible a trackpad? I would argue yes, otherwise the notebook mode, the arm during the operation of the touch screen is fast hard The size is chosen pleasant. All along the edge of the housing still a small plastic edge running long, but this is not necessarily a problem with the processing. Rather, I believe that this is a spacer so that the bottom does not rest directly on the table edge in stand mode.
The screen can be rotated 360 °, so you can use the device as a tablet without removing any parts. These hinges make a stable impression. However, you then summarizes in Tablet mode on the keyboard, which is a bit unusual. However, you can not cause any incorrect entries as automatically from an angle of approximately 180 degrees, the keyboard - but wait until after a few seconds - is disabled.
The device has a screen size of 11.6 inches, the surface area is about the size of a sheet of A4, so a little larger than the netbooks. The weight falls quite large with about 1.5 kg of, at least for a tablet that indeed will be the yoga.
All in all, there are at the processing complaints. However, if you primarily looking for a tablet, should try out the Yoga Tablet 2 1051F. This tablet comes with keyboard and Windows 8.1, but is primarily a tablet.
For keyboard is still to say that it is a German standard layout, so a QWERTY keyboard. However, the Enter key has been reduced for reasons of space and move the + and # key. But even that is a matter of habit.
In terms of performance I have to describe my application only once. The tablet I bought especially for the school and the university. These office work and the rather simple programming exercises is then joined by a few YouTube videos. And the masters the Celeron outstanding. The startup, so by pressing the Power button to lock screen lasted nearly 15 seconds as my desktop with i7 4790k and SSD also not much faster. Even otherwise, the performance, that you can try, not at all times of less than 300 bad. After startup, the CPU takes a little longer, but after a few seconds up to one minute warm-up time then the Yoga reacts pleasantly fast.
If you turn balanced in airplane mode and power saving mode, and instead makes from time to time break, so you will be like me well on a single charge throughout the day!
The display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, so only HD-ready. I think this resolution is enough for a working machine of 11 inch class. Also, the IPS panel is bright. However, this display reflects fairly strong and seems to attract fingerprints magically. The latter, however, can be easily removed with a normal microfibre cloth.
The operating system is Windows 8.1 comes in the 64-bit version is used - this is a matter of taste, on the pros and cons I will not go into in this review. Lenovo has this expanded by the usual bloatware. However, practical software including: A program for gesture control, for example.
Due to the recent past, I have let the Superfish Removal Toll run through yoga. My copy was not settled fortunately fish.
CONCLUSION:
For about 300 you get a Windows Convertible what look to read on the Web, videos and work with Office is very well suited. You can not play games on Yoga 2, but it is also not intended. Whether you want to buy it you, is your thing. But if you do a Convertible studied with Windows 8.1, then I can put to you the Lenovo Yoga 2-11 with the Intel Celeron N2930 warmly.
