IdeaPad Yoga 13 Review
Labeled as the world’s first multi-mode
Ultrabook, the IdeaPad Yoga 13 appears to be ready for virtually any Windows 8
mobility scenario the casual user, student, or professional can throw at it.The Yoga 13 is capable of assuming any of four different orientations, or "operational modes": Laptop, Stand, Tent, and Tablet
Laptop Mode
This
traditional mode resembles any other clamshell-style Ultrabook or laptop PC. As
with all typical laptops, the keyboard and touchpad serve as the primary input
in this configuration. However, having the added benefit of a touchscreen
provides the Yoga 13 with a welcomed third input option. Obviously, Laptop Mode
is useful for basically any task that you would use a notebook for, such as
office productivity, photo editing, light gaming, email, and Web browsing, just
to name a few.
Stand Mode
In Stand Mode, the screen is capable of being rotated well past 180 degrees. The exposed keyboard and touchpad faces the same surface that the system rests on, so the touchscreen becomes your only input. This mode is particularly suited for viewing video content because, unlike the Yoga 13's next mode, Stand Mode allows you to adjust the tilt of the screen to find that perfect viewing angle.
Tent Mode
Tent Mode is very similar to Stand Mode, though the Yoga 13's screen opens beyond 270 degrees to create a tent shape in this mode. Here, the Yoga 13 stands on its outer display and base edges, with the hinged section facing up, allowing the touchscreen to be aimed towards the user or viewing audience. Tent Mode is handy for viewing recipes in the kitchen, following laptop service manuals in the tech shop.
Tablet Mode
By rotating the Yoga 13's screen all the way back 360 degrees, we enter its Tablet Mode. In this mode, the back of the screen housing rests on the outer base portion of the system itself, giving the user a solid-feeling touchscreen-only handheld device.
However, in Tablet Mode, the keyboard and touchpad are still exposed to the elements on the rear side of the unit, which is what we like least about this orientation. Tablet Mode is very capable of performing tablet-oriented tasks such as email, reading, casual gaming, and Web browsing with native support for Adobe Flash and HTML5.
Physical flexibility is not the Yoga 13's only standout feature. This is also one seriously thin convertible Ultrabook.
