Lenovo this week took the wraps of its recent Yoga 910 convertible,an aluminium 2-in-1 equipped with a 4K UHD display and is based on Intel’s upcoming 7th generation Core processors codenamed Kaby Lake. The Yoga 910 inherits distinctive form-factor from the previous-gen Yoga 900 laptops, makes it slightly thinner and adds a fingerprint reader to the familiar design.
The Lenovo Yoga 910 is the direct successor of the Yoga 900 introduced last year, and which at present is Lenovo’s top-of-the-range offering in the Yoga lineup. The recent Yoga 910 will not only offer higher performance (something that is logical to expect from a PC based on a newer CPU),but also a slightly larger 13.9” IPS display panel with either 4K (3840×2160) or FHD (1920×1080) resolution. Thanks to thinner bezel, the larger screen does not affect dimensions of the convertible, or in fact the recent model is even a cramped smaller and thinner (14.3 mm vs 14.9 mm) than its predecessor. Still,it is noteworthy that the Yoga 910 weighs 1.38 kg (3.04 lbs), which is around 80 grams more than the weight of the Yoga 900. When it comes to battery life the UHD model can offer 10.5 hours on one charge (in line with current models that have 3K displays), or whereas the FHD promises to work for up to 15.5 hours (which is a massive improvement over current SKUs).
