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. There is one big problem with that mode though and let’s take a closer look at the following video presented by Dave Lee.
Performance of this 2-in-1 hybrid
When it comes to hardware, then you’ll understand that this laptop is one of the best ones for the given 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.
The design and big problems with it
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.
However, the related problem that is actually the main issue with this machine is hiding in its design. To be honest, the edges are really sharp and the team that engineered the whole body of the laptop could’ve tried better at smoothening them. Technologically speaking the hinges are great, but as soon as you detach the display you’ll start using it in tablet mode and you’ll get my point. If you accidentally happen to drop it you would regret that the edges are this sharp, as this will increase the damage and even the screen could experience more pressure and could get broken easily. Also, when you use it in tablet or tent mode, both ways you’ll block the noise coming out from the speakers and the quality will be distorted. While using in tablet mode you completely block the sound exit and while in tent you’ll experience echo as it creates an empty chamber between the sound speaker and the wall (screen) in front of it.
On the other hand, talking about the keyboard, I have to point out that it feels really comfortable.Due to its awesome design, it lets your fingers float above it, 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, with a glass-covered surface for further smoothness and reliability.
