First Look: Lenovo Yoga 900

I recently picked up a Lenovo Yoga 900, fully loaded. It has the i7 2.5 GHz processor, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.

So far, I’ve wiped it and did a fresh install of Windows 10, got it all updated and ready to go, then ran some benchmarks.

For performance, the Yoga 900, is good… It’s not breaking any benchmark world records, but in real-world use, it’s quite responsive and snappy.

I also really like the look and feel of the Yoga, with a couple exceptions… The touchpad feels a little, for lack of a better word, cheap. It’s clicky and semi-responsive, it just doesn’t have an awesome feel to it. Also, the “clicks” leave a little be desired. It definitely works, just not in love with the track pad. Also, the border around the screen… there is a good ½” of border around the screen. I’m not sure why they did that, but, it would have been nice to have a little less bezel.
