LENOVO YOGA BOOK YB1-X91F – WHEN CREATIVITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS

The Lenovo – known inventors (in a good way), and regularly delight their fans interesting and often unusual novelties. Remember the line of Yoga, which can be considered a fashion trendsetter on-device transfers. Years go by, the style of “Yogi” does not change, the concept remains the same, and yet the manufacturer does not get bored: it will replace the housing materials even better, it will change the principle of operation of the hinge mechanism. And in the case of the Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review also gives you the opportunity to look at the Soup transformable from a different angle!
The novelty will receive a truly extraordinary. It is so light that it seems as if you hold the tablet in hands. But no, the keyboard is, and is not what most people are accustomed to seeing her. And in comes with a magnetic notepad where you can write with the stylus. Admittedly, we are intrigued!

DESIGN

Housing Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, in two colors: gray (Gunmetal Gray) and gold (Champagne Gold). Cover matte, slightly rough and Mark. Details here to a minimum, or rather, it is only one: the company logo on the right side panel.

The screen surrounded by the best of the large frame on the top of which is a front webcam. The second is a webcam on the work surface, in the upper right corner. Actually, it can be seen under the laptop keyboard with built-in buttons. If you connect the pen is deactivated, the button turns off, and the panel is black, without the slightest sign of life. This feature – not a fad producer: when the keyboard is turned off, on top of it, you can attach a magnetic pad and draw on its pages a stylus Real Pen.
Strap hinge mechanism resembles consisting of 130 parts. It allows you to rotate the screen 360 degrees and, therefore, exploit the Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91L in four modes. Depending on the task, the device can work as a laptop, tablet, or occupy an intermediate position: the console and presentation. By the way, the hinge is made soundly, without the slightest of gaps and inaccuracies.
The build quality is also caused us only positive emotions: the device does not creak, the backlash was found, as well as deflections in the case. In addition to strength, the device pleased with its dimensions: 257h171h10 mm, and weight – only 670 g In general, all the conditions in order to take the Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F with you to work, school, for a walk, etc. respected.

DISPLAY, AUDIO, AND WEBCAM

TheLenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review has 10.1-inch screen was Full HD-resolution (218 ppi). The maximum brightness is nearly 400 cd / m2 black level – 0.37 cd / m2, hence the excellent contrast – 1032: 1. The capacitive screen supports 10 simultaneous key presses.
With IPS matrix, you can not worry about viewing angles, as they are the widest, which is especially important for the transformer. The display is glossy, so the use of the device outside or near a window on a sunny day is better to abstain. In general, the screen is pleased with his performance: the picture is juicy, rich and realistic, the inversion does not appear under any circumstances.

The package Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91L includes Real Pen stylus, which can be drawn on the display surface.
The laptop Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review is endowed with a two-speaker Dolby Audio. Let’s face it: despite the variety of devices, it is very difficult to find a 10-inch form factor with high-quality sound. Manufacturers of such devices (as in the case of Yoga Book YB1-X91F) are betting on the mid and high frequencies, trying to somehow justify the lack of bass. Note that the speakers are quite decent, anyway, the sound is quite enough for a small room. Wheezing at maximum volume there.
A front webcam has a resolution of 2 megapixels. It is suitable for more should not count. Resolution of the second camera – 8 MP, autofocus. It has a non-standard location – right upper corner of the work surface. You can use it to do good quality pictures, especially if you pick a good light.

KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD

The keypad of the Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review we find extremely interesting. Let’s start in order: Halo keyboard is activated in the “laptop” mode. It is virtual, respectively, in the on-state buttons are lit, and off – working surface is just black. Initially, the process of typing on it seems unusual, but after a while, the fingers are adapted. Intelligent Keyboard: while you type, it stores the speed and accuracy of typing. Through optimization software is able to prompt the end of words, corrects errors in a word, promotes quality printing.
By the way, no protruding buttons – is even plus: just imagine how easy it is to clean a keyboard! The key arrangement, their shape, etc. is not particularly different from their counterparts in the traditional keyboard. For example, the button [Enter] – single-row, we can say tiny. Under it – [Shift], the same key is, and vice versa. Digital unit, of course, is available.

But that’s not all the surprises that prepared the company Lenovo. In addition to the laptop directly to Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F and stylus, the user receives another amusing contraption – Book Pad Notepad A5. It is mounted on the operation panel (keyboard, of course, turned off), and then you can write on it with the stylus sheets Real Pen. All that will be written, the laptop transforms into a digital form, thus recording and tagging, you can edit, organize and share with friends. By the way, the stylus writing ink, which adds to it, even more, resemblance to a ballpoint pen. However, please note that the supply of ink is not eternal, and when he finished, Real Pen will have at their own expense (3 refills cost $ 15). The same applies to the paper: a spare set, consisting of 20 pages, and will cost $ 15.
Furthermore. With Lenovo NoteSaver applications disable keypad turns to Create Pad panel. By drawing on it with the stylus, you will immediately be able to evaluate the result that appears on the screen at once. Real Pen recognizes 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, it does not need to be recharged. So summarize: a stylus can be used in three modes: traditional press the screen, draw directly on the operating panel and on the paper, which is attached to the magnets surface (keyboard must first be turned off in the latter two cases). For paper has a special rod with ink and when the ink runs out, it is necessary to invest in new ones.
Of course, when working in “tablet” mode, “Console” and “presentation” keyboard is automatically deactivated, and in the case enters the virtual. Nothing complicated about it is working: the buttons are large, easy to get on them. In addition, each user has the ability to change the language, keyboard layout, layout, etc., in general, do everything to give it a maximum of individuality.
Finally a few words about the touchpad. It is located under the keyboard, perhaps even too close to space. Pointing rectangular shape, rather small. With its objectives, touch pad copes well: works quickly and supports multitouch.

PERFORMANCE

Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review is sold with Windows 10 Home 64-bit onboard. There is also a version of Android, but on the Russian shelves, it is unlikely to fall. The basis of the filling is a quad-core Intel Atom x5 Z8550. Its base frequency 1440 MHz can be increased up to 2400 MHz. The chip is built on norms of 14-nm process technology, it has 2 MB of cache memory and consumes only 2 watts of electricity.

As for graphics, in this case, we are talking about the Intel HD Graphics integrated graphics 400. It has 12 actuators that operate in the frequency range 320-640 MHz. GPU is compatible with DirectX 11.2, as well as Shader 5.0. But with older toys, it makes sense to try: for example, BioShock Infinite (2013) on the low settings and a resolution of 1280×720 pixel display 20 frames per second. Tomb Raider on medium settings with a resolution of 1366×768 will go with 10 fps, the same figure, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011).
In the notebook Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review has 4 GB of RAM LPDDR3 standard. The amount of internal memory is 64 GB, and thanks to the memory card it can be increased by another 128 GB.

PORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS

The set of interfaces from Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review modest. On the left side are the port Micro-USB,  Micro-HDMI, and microSD card reader.

On the right is the volume rocker, the socket for charging and headphone jack.
Sensors in the device are accelerometer, light and Hall sensors, GPS. Wireless Communications – Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

BATTERY

The Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review has a Lithium-Polymer battery with a capacity of 8500 mAh (32 Wh). The device is idle will last about 19 hours surfing the web will drain it for 8 hours. The maximum load Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F will operate approximately 3 hours on a single charge. We enjoy this result and you?
By the way, if you plan to load the transformer is often “heavy” tasks, prepare for the fact that his body is warm. However, before throttling will not come, heating is not critical, but the hands still feel the warmth. When surfing the web, working with documents, or with a stylus, and the like discomfort models will not.

CONCLUSION

Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, so it is light and durable. The transformer can operate in one of four modes: laptop, tablet, console and presentation. High-quality Full HD-screen – certainly also a plus laptop.
This new interest, especially creative people, and those who prefer a non-standard approach to work and entertainment. The fact that the machine is supplied with a stylus that can be used in three ways: traditionally the screen, draw on the work surface, as well as on paper. In the latter two cases, all that you write with the stylus will be immediately displayed. We also liked the idea of a built-in keyboard Halo, which the manufacturer calls “intellectual.”
However, there are some controversial issues. Firstly, the meager set of interfaces, and secondly – the weak hardware components. On the other hand, the game is rather an option in this case, because it is clear that the device is “sharpened” not to do so. The third point is that we did not like is the fact that the user has to buy paper and ink when they run out. First, the price tag Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91F review we seemed pleasant (on average, $ 770), but given the inevitable spending on accessories ($ 30 for ink and paper), we do not think so. However, the price – a very subjective factor, and willing to try the new product, we are sure there will be many.
