Lenovo Yoga 900s (12.3-inch, 2016)

Surprisingly long battery life ; Gorgeously refined design ; Spectacular screen

Shallow keyboard ; Small touchpad ; Worse performance on paper

average NVMe SSD performance ; no SD reader or WWAN options ; unimpressive stereo speakers ; CPU and GPU throttling ; very shallow key travel ; pricey

It's hard to not like the Yoga 900S at first glance. It's attractive, silent, long-lasting, and incredibly easy to pick up and play when indoors or on-the-go. Workmanship and quality are solid and worthy of the flagship Yoga 900 name. In this sense,...

Lenovo has a lot of bland laptops (and many stylish ones, too), but that’s not because it isn’t capable of more. If you need a no-frills all-black design, they have you covered. If that’s not your thing, though, if you want a laptop that stands out...
