Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Review: Specs Of Updated Windows 8.1 Convertible Labeled A ‘Perfect Upgrade’; Machine Runs On 4th Gen Core i5 Processor, 4GB SDRAM

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro review: Specs of the new Windows 8.1 convertible, Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is described as a “perfect upgrade” from its previous edition.The unit is powered with a 4th Gen Core i5 processor, 4GB SDRAM, 512GB SSD, and has a 13.3-inch display with a 3200 x 1800 resolution.

Gizmodo noted that the new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which succeeds the Lenovo Yoga 2, calls the ultrabook a “basically a perfect upgrade.” It refines the specs of its predecessors and adds a super high-res screen on top.

Although the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro isn’t thinner than last year’s model, it does feel thinner because of its tapered edges, noted Gizmodo. It’s also pleasant to hold and pick up compared to machines with wedge designs like the Macbook Air.

The Verge noted that the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro’s display is beautiful, sharp and vibrant. It also has great viewing angles and colors plus enough pixel density to make any text crisp and all movies beautiful. Together with its loud and full set of speakers, and flexibility as a tablet, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro’s screen makes it attractive for video streaming.

The screen of the Lenovo Yoga 2 is top of the class. It’s vibrant and bright. Gizmodo said that the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is brighter than the Kirabook and better than the 1080p display of the Vaio Pro and Aspire S7.

The screen’s official brightness is 350 nits, a bit higher than what most ultrabooks run in, which is at 300. The extra oomph, noted Gizmodo is the added pixel density. It also has a 6-hour battery life, which though shorter for a machine that has a Haswell chip, is probably caused by the screen quality consuming a good amount of battery power.
