▲ Four modes of 360-degree flip experience Lenovo Yoga evaluation
In 20 12, Yoga won the 15 award selected by American Science and Technology Information Network, PCMag.com, Popular Mechanics, New Era of Science and Technology, Notebook Computer and Tom's Guide for its breakthrough cross-border function, unique design and innovative industrial design. We received this machine today. Let's take a look at what the Metro+ flip screen looks like.
Shell: bright silver metal matte surface
Yoga's A topcoat is dense, smooth to the touch, and the edge paint is firm and not easy to wear. It is said that 10 layer of paint was used, and finally it was turned into warm orange. When editing and touching the notebook, the delicate matte texture is very comfortable.
▲ The shell of yoga13 is made of metal.
It is said that Yoga's keyboard uses a layer of glass, which not only feels smooth, but also effectively prevents fingerprint invasion. Relatively speaking, Yoga's key spacing is large, the key length is long, and the slightly flat key cap looks more stable. This may also be to avoid scratching the desktop after flipping. The surface C is made of imitation leather, which is different from imitation skin coating. You can see tiny wrinkles and textures in this leather-like process and feel very soft.
▲ Keyboard and palm rest
At present, the main models of Yoga are i3, i5 and i7 processors, SSD 128 GB and 256GB, all of which use HD4000. The price of the i5 version is 6999 yuan, which is more affordable.

Four characteristics of yoga
: 1, equipped with a brand-new Win8 system, it should be said that the variant of ultrabook is inseparable from the touch screen Win8. Look at the buttons that are now as big as tablets and as small as mobile phone MP3. After the new touch Win8 comes out, can the mouse and keyboard be discarded?
2, 360-degree free rotation, this is the world's first 360-degree free rotation notebook. Yoga can realize the transformation of four forms through two-axis structure, including notebook form, tablet form, standing form and tent form. Not only fashionable, but also practical.
3. Ten-point touch, supporting 10 fingers to touch at the same time in any mode, flexible operation, and supporting two-finger zooming, moving and other actions.
4.IPS screen, resolution 1600x900. Yoga uses a screen with a viewing angle of 170 degrees, which is rich in colors and makes it easier to share wonderful moments with friends.
▲ Appreciation of clear details of yoga
${PageNumber}Yoga Ultrabook interface and details
Interface: native 1 USB3.0? High Definition Multimedia Interface
Ultrabook or ultrabook, the interface and expansion will not be reduced at all. The new QS77 chipset supports many expansion interfaces. Let's look at its scalability from the side.
▲ There are expansion ports on three sides.
There is a power button and Lenovo's iconic one-button rescue button on the front. There are three interfaces on the right side of the fuselage, SD card reader, USB2.0 and square charging interface. There are three interfaces on the left side of Yoga, namely HDMI, USB3.0 and earphone interface, and there are volume adjustment keys. What is more distinctive is that the machine has a screen rotation lock key to prevent the screen from rotating back under gravity induction.
Lenovo's function keys are integrated with F 1~F 12, and the above functions can be realized directly without pressing Fn!
▲ Some special function keys on the keyboard
Size: both volume and weight are relatively light.
In ultrabooks, the size and weight of Yoga meet the requirements of the new ultrabooks, and the thickness is controlled below 18mm.
▲ 13.3 inch LED 1600x900
The screen of Yoga is 13.3 inches, the screen resolution is 1600x900, and IPS has a wide viewing angle. According to the measurement, the length and width of Yoga is 333x225mm, the thickness is 16.9mm, the naked weight is 1.532Kg, and the traveling weight is 65438+.
▲ Interface spacing test
In the test of interface spacing, the design of Yoga is still very satisfactory, with moderate interface spacing and no congestion.
Flat keycap details of concave keyboard:
After watching the appearance of Yoga, let's open its top cover and look at the control area. Lenovo yoga
keyboard
There are some changes, mainly because the keycap is flattened and the edge is designed to be concave to ensure that the desktop will not be scratched. ? ▲ The pressed keyboard is basically flush with the C plane, but the space bar is slightly higher.
Tip: If the rotating shaft rotates more than 180 degrees, the keyboard will automatically fail, so don't worry about turning your hand over or accidentally touching the keys on the table.
▲ The unique biaxial design has won 40 patents. After 25,000 flipping experiments, it is still solid and reliable. The heat dissipation part is located at the inner side of the rotating shaft;
▲ This is the cooling hole, which is in the right hand direction of the rotating shaft.
The editor tried it for a while and found that the hot air could still be felt in the palm of his hand, although Lenovo made a lot of compensation for this heat dissipation (for example, in the picture above, the lower part of the heat dissipation used honeycomb fins to prevent the hot air from blowing directly into the palm).
Ten-touch operation is very convenient:
▲ Function key details From the details of several small function keys, it is enough to see the subtleties of yoga. Not to mention the volume adjustment button and the screen lock button, which are very practical. In addition, it should be emphasized that Yoga also supports somatosensory technology, which can recognize page turning and other operations through the camera (currently only some software is supported).
Four different usage modes of $ ＄{ page number} Yoga
Notebook mode
This mode is a traditional notebook with the keyboard and screen facing the user. Although touch control is dazzling and convenient, when it comes to data input, there is no more familiar and skilled method than keyboard. In this mode, it 100% is compatible with the new generation of Microsoft office and the original applications, which is very important for Office users.
▲ This kind of yoga is an ordinary youth tablet mode: a mode suitable for reading.
As the name implies, this mode is to rotate the screen of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga by 360? Back-to-back and keyboard are combined into a familiar tablet computer. The top cover of IdeaPad Yoga is equipped with magnets, and the top cover and bottom can be well combined, so there is no need to worry about loosening when using. The rotating shaft of IdeaPad Yoga has passed 25,000 times. The opening and closing experiment can completely ensure that the rotating shaft of the notebook will not be loose to any extent. ?
▲ Tablet mode report ▲ Turn into a tablet
The characteristic of tablet computer is touch control, and its advantage lies in convenience and space saving. When reading emails, playing touch games, looking at photos, sending Weibo, etc. Tablet mode is a good choice, users can play while walking, and it is the best portable mode.
When the rotation angle of the IdeaPad Yoga screen is greater than180? It will automatically lock the keyboard, so users don't have to worry about the conflict between the keyboard and the keyboard in tablet mode. At the same time, the keyboard is designed to be concave, so the keyboard keys placed on the desktop will not touch the plane. However, if it is placed on soft or uneven surfaces such as legs and beds, it may damage the keyboard surface, and users need to pay special attention.
Standing mode: lazy posture
Turn the screen to 225? ~360? Suddenly, this became its third standing mode. I think it's more appropriate to call it lazy mode, which is equivalent to a tablet computer with the screen facing up. When it is placed on the table, the user can hold the chin with one hand and operate it with the other hand. This is a typical lazy posture. Of course, in this mode, it is inconvenient for users to input a lot quickly. In this mode, it is most suitable for things that take a long time, are easy to operate and can be watched by many people at the same time, such as watching movies and brushing Weibo. Simple and convenient, easy to adjust the screen, high flexibility. ?
▲ Standing mode Legs are more comfortable ▲ Standing mode
Tent mode, lying down and watching movies.
Bian Xiao feels more practical in this mode. It is supported by two parts of the notebook, and forms a triangular structure with the plane, which is stable and occupies small space, so there is no need to worry about heat dissipation (where is the heat dissipation port? Triangle? Top), very suitable for long-term use or on the bed and legs. Like a desk calendar, it occupies the smallest space among the four modes, and can be used as a photo frame when placed on a table at ordinary times. At the same time, it can also be hung on the crossbar like a chair back, which not only makes rational use of space, but also looks very fashionable.
▲ Tent mode is suitable for watching movies.
▲ Tent mode The four modes of IdeaPad Yoga almost take into account the usage habits of all users. They have their own advantages, and they have achieved the ultimate in space, convenience and flexibility. I believe that any user can find the mode that suits him best.

▲ Ultrabook Yoga Ultrabook Yoga has adopted a brand new
Intel Corporation of the United States (one of the Fortune 500 companies is famous for producing CPU chips)
The 3rd generation Core intelligent i5 processor i5 33 17U is manufactured by 22nm process and supports TurboBoost2.0 technology, with TDP of 17W. As the mainstay of low-voltage processor, it can meet our daily entertainment needs. In addition, the new platform adopts QS77 chipset, which not only supports USB3.0 natively, but also makes new progress in SSD optimization with Win8 system. This 128GB SSD is not difficult for Win8 to start in 15s. The picture below shows Yoga's hard disk reading and writing ability.
▲SSD reading speed can reach187mb/s/s.
CINEBENCH is a cross-platform testing system launched by Banjarmasin Company. It uses the cinema 4D special effects software engine developed for the film and television industry to test the CPU and GPU. In the CPU performance test, we use CINEBENCH to test the multi-thread processing ability of the processor by rendering a high-precision 3D scene.
▲CINEBENCH 10.0 Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga is equipped with Intel HD4000 core graphics card, and the GPU score of running 3DMark VANTAGE in P mode is 2289. Because graphics cards are entry-level, their functions mainly lie in working and watching videos, or playing online games.
▲3DMark vantage score P2790? ▲GPU-Z screenshot and 3DMark 06
HD4000 core graphics card has advantages. General users will use its internal hardware-level video codec, so that they can play 1080p video with low power consumption when the CPU utilization is extremely low. You can treat yoga as a player and watch two blockbusters without any problems.
Test summary: Yoga is a good product in design.
In fact, from the configuration point of view, the current ultrabooks are generally similar. For OEMs or users, the real difference is the experience of product design and application. In my opinion, the most wonderful thing about Lenovo Yoga is the rotation angle of its axis! Actually 360? It seems simple, but in fact, the small technologies of fixing and maintaining stability of the two shafts in the rotating shaft are very laborious to develop. This is why we have obtained more than 40 patents with a small rotating shaft.
▲Yoga Of course, yoga is not only concerned about flipping, but a high-profile product must be carefully designed in all aspects. Take a closer look, such as the painting process of Yoga, the material of palm rest, the design of key cap, screen, somatosensory technology, Win8, touch screen and so on. , are functions that users want to see or use. It can also be said that yoga is an inevitable product of the development of the times. The editor recommended that young friends buy books to consider yoga, and of course they must be transformed!
