<\/a>We had a chance to spend a little time\u00a0with the Yoga 900 and were impressed with its lightweight design, colorful display and solid build quality.\u00a0Yoga 900 uses a “watchband” style hinge that looks like the one on the Yoga 3 Pro, but offers more resistance. During our hands-on, we had the chance to poke the screens on both the 3 Pro and the 900 and found that the older model’s hinge would bend back a little if we touched the screen too hard while new one remained in place.<\/p>\nLenovo<\/strong><\/a> has also changed the keyboard for the new Yoga, adding a dedicated function row, which was missing on the 3 Pro. So, instead of hitting an the Fn key plus a number to lower the volume or raise the brightness, you’ll be able to hit an F key on the top row. The deck still has a comfortable, soft-touch finish which looks like leather, but the 900’s palm rest has a smooth rather than a dimpled texture.<\/p>\n On the inside, Lenovo\u00a0Yoga 900 differs from its predecessor by offering a full-fledged Intel 6th Gen Core i5 or Core i7 processor rather than a low-power Core M chip. The Yoga 3 Pro’s Core M CPU provided unimpressive performance on our tests while its low-power usage didn’t do enough to help the notebook achieve long Lenovo Thinkpad E50 laptop battery<\/a>\u00a0life, as it lasted a mere 6 hours and 5 minutes on a charge.<\/p>\n Lenovo is using a larger battery on the Yoga 900 and advertises 8 hours of endurance on the new model. We’ll have to see how it performs in our lab tests. \u00a0The laptop’s other key specs include 8 to 16GB of RAM and a 256GB or 512GB SSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lenovo Yoga 900 Packs More Speed, Longer Battery Life. \u00a0Yoga 900 features a number of improvements over last year’s Yoga 3 Pro, including speedy Intel 6th Generation Core Series processor, longer battery life and a tighter hinge design.
