Lenovo Yoga 11.6" 300w Gen 4 Multi-Touch 2-in-1 Review

The Lenovo Yoga 11.6" is all about portability, but you pay for it with a weak processor and a low-resolution screen. It's a niche machine for a very specific user.

Overview

The Lenovo Yoga 11.6" is a tiny 2-in-1 that's built for one thing: being incredibly portable. It weighs just 1.25kg and is super compact, landing in the 98th percentile for that. But you're making some serious trade-offs for that size, especially with the Intel N200 processor and a 1366x768 screen.

Performance

Performance is basic. The Intel N200 CPU is in the 6th percentile, so this isn't for heavy lifting. It'll handle web browsing, emails, and documents, but that's about it. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics and 8GB of RAM (18th percentile) confirm this is a light-duty machine. The 128GB SSD is also very small, sitting in the 10th percentile for storage.

Value & Pricing

At $729, it's a tough sell. You're paying a premium for the ultra-compact form factor and the 2-in-1 hinge. For that money, you could get a much more capable standard-sized laptop. The value is only there if portability is your absolute number one priority, above all else.

C$ 1.000

vs Competition

Compared to competitors, it's in a different league. The ASUS Zenbook Duo offers way more power and a dual-screen setup for not much more cash. The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s is a proper business machine with better specs. Even an older MacBook Air would run circles around this for general use. This Yoga is for a very specific, niche need.

Verdict

Only buy this if you need the absolute smallest Windows 2-in-1 you can find and your tasks are dead simple. It's perfect for someone who just needs a super portable screen for notes, media, and light web use on the go. For students or anyone doing real work, look elsewhere.
