Inside the slim laptop is a dual-band 802.11AC WLAN adapter, along with Bluetooth 4.0 + HS for all of your wireless speakers and devices. The ThinkPad Yoga also has OneLink Docking capability, which offers RJ-45 connectivity for use in an office. Joining the ports on the sides of the laptop are physical volume buttons, a power button, and a screen lock button to prevent unwanted screen rotation. The ThinkPad Yoga is slim enough that the port selection is a little sparse, with two USB 3.0 ports (one with extra power for charging devices), a micro HDMI out port, a 4-in-1 card reader, a headset jack, and a Kensington Lock slot for physically securing the laptop.

Tucked into the front edge of the laptop palmrest as an almost unnoticeable red spot, which look sort of like a button upon closer inspection is the end of a stylus, with integrated storage. The 12.5-inch full HD display (1,920 by 1,080 resolution) is pretty nice too, and doubly so because it supports both 10-point touch and stylus input. This goes a long way toward fixing one of the few problems we had with the original Yoga, the gnawing worry that the exposed keyboard would be damaged while in tablet mode.

While the full-size AccuType keyboard looks like the average Lenovo keyboardsculpted keys, with smooth typing action, and just enough resistance for solid tactile feedbackbut it has a trick up its sleeve. One small touch that has been added to refine the Yoga design is the keyboard. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. Take away the folding capability and the ThinkPad Yoga would most closely resemble the Lenovo ThinkPad T440s ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), Lenovo's standard business Ultrabook. The folding tablet design has been updated with more rugged materials for business-grade durability, with a magnesium-alloy frame and Gorilla Glass providing a scratch-resistant layer of protection for the display. The multimode hinge is actually a dual-axle hinge, which allows you to open the laptop into the traditional clamshell arrangement, but then to open it further, bringing the display back and around, allowing for other modes: Tent, Stand, and Tablet. The laptop is the first in Lenovo's business minded ThinkPad line to feature Lenovo's multimode hinge, also seen on the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). It's a bold move, and some will welcome it with open arms, but others may be wary due to its middling performance. The latest entrant into the multimode family is the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, a convertible hybrid laptop that brings the flexibility of the Yoga to Lenovo's business-focused ThinkPad line. Lenovo has been making the most of Intel's push for 2-in-1 devices with its own special mix of design and functionality, with a family of convertible and detachable tablets and laptops.
