| A laptop hinge isnt something you’re supposed to think about: it opens so you can use your computer, closes when you’re done. The end. But Lenovo’s turned its swiveling parts into a genuine differentiator: the Yoga range of Windows 8 PCs is powerful, well-crafted, and eminently flexible, able to pull double duty as laptop and tablet. It’s one of the few hybrid devices I’ve seen that truly works. |
| Now the Chinese company is branching out, bringing hinge-induced flexibility to even more devices. It starts with the new Yoga Tablets, 8- and 10-inch Android slates that include built-in stands. At $249 for the smaller model and $299 for the larger, the Yoga Tablets are one part Nexus 7, one part Microsoft Surface 2 and one part Ashton Kutcher. | | Lenovo convinced me once that I should care about the hinges on my devices. I was ready to learn again, to find myself wondering why on Earth my iPad couldn’t stand up by itself. And then I found myself sitting down at my desk, propping up my Yoga Tablet, and trying to get down to work. Trying. |
