Lenovo's toe-curlingly bad adverts for its Yoga 2-in-1 devices really shouldn't put anyone off considering one of the laptops if they're in the market for a new lappy - tempting as it might be to do so.

Not surprisingly, the most interesting out of the bunch is the latter, the X1 Yoga, which takes the innovations of the X1 Carbon and places them in a convertible form, boasting access to Intel's latest 8th-generation Core processors, up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage under the hood.

General Usage & Final Thoughts I've been using the ThinkPad X1 Yoga as my main laptop for a few weeks now and I am really enjoying it. First off it is thin and light enough that it does not add much extra bulk to my backpack. That power adapter is also very small.

– Great performance with the Intel Core i58250U; – ThinkPad security features; – Extremely comfortable keyboard; – ThinkPad Pro Pen included; – Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports; – Superfast NVMe SSD

– No "borderless" display; – No 4K display option available

Lenovo has a flexible version of its most popular business ultrabook, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga. As the name suggests, the X1 Yoga brings the X1 lineup's robust business features to Lenovo's flexible Yoga design, enabling users to fold the display entirely back into a tablet-like mode.

Excellent display; X1 Carbon style with Yoga flexibility; Tablet Mode and built-in stylus; 4G LTE option; Robust sound quality

Stylus is difficult to remove

It is light enough to be used as a tablet

Tough, fast, and generous with battery life, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga has a lot going for it, but a bargain price isn't one of them.

Premium construction and tough shell; Sliding cover for webcam lens; Impressive performance and battery life

Steep price tag; Tough-to-access memory card slot

Having reviewed several top machine This Lenovo Gen 3 Ultrabook is at the top with everything current fast and powerful, and will last several years Using the thunderbolt USB-c is the new way to doc two screens and power it with lots of usb ports Only con is it isn't ram upgradable but who does that...

Loving it so far

I am a former Mac user who like many have realized that they can get better performance for a lot less money. I am a power user of Adobe products, so laptops typically struggle with large document formats.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Yoga (3rd Gen) remains an excellent convertible laptop -- definitely up there in the top tier. It's slightly larger and heavier than the ThinkPad X1 Carbon (6th Gen), with thicker screen bezels, but brings 360-degree screen rotation to the ThinkPad X1 range.

Well built; Screen locks out in tent and tablet modes; ThinkShutter webcam security; Stylus cleverly housed within the chassis; LTE mobile broadband option

Battery life could be better; Dongle required for Ethernet connection; Expensive
