Lenovo’s upgraded version of the Yoga 910 has been released by the name of Lenovo Yoga 920. It’s a powerful 2-in-1 convertible laptop, with lots of possibilities and capable of anything hardware. This new laptop comes with Intel’s latest 8th Generation processor of course, as Lenovo made the series evolve to the latest technologies, but the company also solved nearly all the pointed out aspects that were missing or needed improvement in the previous version.
Not only it comes with an 8th Generation Intel processor inside but with a 13.9-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display, a quad-core Core i7-8550U, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB PCIe solid-state disk (SSD). That configuration runs $1,330 at the Lenovo Store, placing it firmly in the premium notebook section. It is from these laptop’s that could have the screen removed and used as a portable tablet, which expands the work field of users. If you are willing to give extra $600 you can upgrade it to the point of 16GB RAM with 1TB internal storage and lots of other maximized aspects.
Design
The design of this Yoga 920 model is far from just good. It looks great and feels small, with improved build quality. The whole body of the laptop is polished aluminum, with the sides being, even more, making it look classy, fresh and high-end selling laptop, while also being hard and durable due to the materials used. It is also thin and lightweight, which makes it perfect to carry around for work or travel occasions.
To start with the fornt, I have to say that the screen looks just phenomenal. Coming at 13.9″ it may sound small, but the almost non-existing bezel on the sides makes it look bigger than 13.9″. What’s the biggest difference to its predecessor in terms of looks on the front, is that the upper bezel is slightly thicker, so that the camera may be placed there, as it belongs to, contrary to last’s year model that had its camera on the bottom lid, underneath the display.
Moving on to the keyboard, I have to point out that it feels really comfortable.Due to its awesome design, it lets your fingers float above the keyboard, and the keys are big and feel good enough, so you’ll hardly happen to hit the wrong key by a mistake. The plastic used for the keys induces enough friction not to make the keys slippery.The trackpad is 4.1 x 2.7-inch, which is big enough to be very comfortable. The glass-covered surface is very smooth, and using it feels reliable and smooth, as it is compatible with the Windows Precision Touchpad standard as well.
The Yoga 920 has two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports on the left side. They are particularly powerful because of their extreme speed. Thunderbolt 3 is fast enough to allow connecting to multiple 4K displays with no problems in terms of performance. If you connect an external storage device it’d certainly run faster than an internal SATA drive, and you can also connect an external GPU if there are no compatibility issues with the devices used in your case. The charging port used is also a USB type C, which is great because they are more compatible and easy to find, so if you happen to forget your Lenovo charger at home you could use any USB type C charger near you.here’s also a USB-A 3.0 port for legacy support, and a 3.5mm combo headset jack, but the only bad thing when it comes to connectivity is that you’ll need a dongle to plug in an SD card reader.
Hardware and display
The display is detachable and could be used as a tablet and is equipped with a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 or 158 PPI) technology, which at 13.9 inches is just sharp enough that pixels don’t look blank. The company also offers a configuration with a 4K UHD display that’ll cost you around another $670 but will also increase the RAM storage to 16GB and the internal storage to 1TB.
When it comes to hardware, then you’ll understand that this laptop is one of the best models for its price and purpose. This Lenovo Yoga 920 is a really good laptop when it comes to multitasking. It has a quad-core 8th generation Intel Core i7 U processor, clocked up at 1.8GHz with turbo boost to 4.2GHz each, backed up by integrated Intel HD Graphics for even further experience on the wide-angle 4K display.If you are from those people who want the best audio system provided, you’ll enjoy the truly immersive audio experience with the already well-known Dolby Atmos technology, which creates a powerful three-dimensional audio space in which sound flows from every direction, but works only when you listen through headphones. If you don’t use headphones you can enjoy the 2 powerful JBL speakers attached to the laptop.
