The Lenovo X1 Yoga is the best laptop you can buy for typing. ThinkPad laptops' reputations for quality isn't like some folks' obsession with vinyl. There's no nostaglic retro ritual element here. The keyboard is just great.

The best keyboard; Great trackpad; Diverse connections

Footprint larger than some; Battery claims are bold

I got this for work a couple of weeks ago. It runs quickly and smoothly. I don't have any particular complaints about it. The finger print scanner is useful in my opinion. Time will tell how long it lasts but it seems hardy enough. It arrived way before expected which was ideal as I use it for work.

If you're a ThinkPad fan and want a 2-n-1, buy this one – if not, there are other, better options

Solid build quality; Excellent battery life; Good keyboard; touchpad; and TrackPoint input; Thin and light for a 14-inch 2-in-1

Expensive; 360-degree swivel action is loud and harsh; Full HD display is only average

That being said if you're simply looking for a well-rounded laptop that can do a bit of everything you'll likely be far better served by the IPS variant. Sure the visuals are great, but they're hard to justify if you're not really going to get a ton of use out of the display.

Vibrant colorful OLED display; Excellent performance; World-class keyboard; Tons of great features

Expensive

One could argue that the two primary features of a modern , that can most prominently define the user experience, would be its display and keyboard. After all, these two aspects make up the majority of a notebook PC's human-computer interface.

Great design and build quality; Premium hybrid carbon fiber; Fantastic keyboard; Integrated ThinkPad Pen Pro; Great performance; Beautiful OLED display option; Solid Battery Life

Hard to access SD/SIM slot; Unsatisfying audio output

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is a bit larger than its competitors with 13.3-inch screens, but its extra bulk pays off in comfort. The larger 14-inch screen is easy on the eyes, and the comfy keyboard pampers your fingertips.

Comfortable backlit retractable keyboard; Built-in rechargeable stylus; Full complement of ports, including Thunderbolt 3

Less battery life than the competition; Requires dongle for Ethernet; Fingerprint magnet

Take the goodness of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and distill it into a 2-in-1, and you'll get the 2017 ThinkPad X1 Yoga. Biz buyers who need a convertible laptop can't ignore this one.

14-inch screen in a 13-inch-class chassis; Excellent keyboard and screen; with "disappearing" keys in tablet mode; Very good performance and battery life; Excellent connectivity for a thin ultrabook

A bit pricey; especially once options added; Merely okay speakers; No standard-size SD card slot (MicroSD only

but still expensive. Today's ThinkPad X1 Yoga configuration preserves most of the major plusses of our previous review unit while dropping the price nearly in half. Is this the true sweet spot in the convertible PC market

clever case and keyboard design; rigid build; fast system performance; excellent keyboard and touchpad; very good port selection for its class; fast and accurate fingerprint sensor; bright; attractive display which lacks only in color gamut; active stylus included; 3-year warranty standard

still rather expensive; screen is highly reflective; limited extensibility

Last year, Lenovo announced their first generation ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2 in 1 computer and it did pretty well when we reviewed it early last year. It had the combination of the X1 Carbon series and Yoga series laptops smashed together to make one hell of a beast.

With a wide array of ports that includes two Thunderbolt 3 connectors, a snappy keyboard, colorful display and more than 12 hours of endurance, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga would make a great business laptop, even if it weren't a 2-in-1.
