Innovative hinge allows for many usage modes. Extremely light and thin for a convertible. Long-lasting battery. Includes USB-C port. Supports optional Active Pen.

Pricey. 4GB of memory, 128GB SSD. Auxiliary keys are small.

With the Lenovo Yoga 900S, you certainly pay for portability. It's a good choice for the traveling writer or small businessperson, thanks to its light weight, flexible and easy-to-pack build, and long-lasting battery. But you will pay a premium for...

Core m5 model trails competitors in performance; No included pen; Stiff click button ; The Lenovo Yoga 900s packs a crisp display and cozy keyboard into an ultraslim, wonderfully luxurious design, but power users should get the Core m7 model.

The Lenovo Yoga 900s packs a crisp display and cozy keyboard into an ultraslim, wonderfully luxurious design, but power users should get the Core m7 model.

Impressive battery life ; Beautiful lightweight design ; Nice FHD display ; Good keyboard

Weak Core m5 performance ; Unimpressive touchpad ; No Pen included

high quality glossy touchscreen; 1080p and 1440p options ; very long battery life; high capacity battery ; small and portable; only 1 kg in weight ; accessible internals; upgradeable SSD ; good build quality ; completely silent ; USB Type-C port

average NVMe SSD performance ; no SD reader or WWAN options ; unimpressive stereo speakers ; CPU and GPU throttling ; very shallow key travel ; pricey

It's hard to not like the Yoga 900S at first glance. It's attractive, silent, long-lasting, and incredibly easy to pick up and play when indoors or on-the-go. Workmanship and quality are solid and worthy of the flagship Yoga 900 name. In this sense,...

Lenovo has a lot of bland laptops (and many stylish ones, too), but that’s not because it isn’t capable of more. If you need a no-frills all-black design, they have you covered. If that’s not your thing, though, if you want a laptop that stands out...

Light Frame ; Thin Profile & Good Looks ; Watchband hinge ; USB Type-C & USB Ports ; USB as Power Port ; Decent Battery life

Keyboard lacks enough travel ; Bezels too big around screen ; Physical Start button is unnecessary and adds to the bezel

The biggest worry anyone should have when purchasing the Yoga 900S is its processor. Compared to an Intel Core I processor, the Core M series is sluggish. I knew what to expect because my personal computer is a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Core M3 processor...

Very light and slim convertible. Works with Wacom AES digital pen (not included though). Quiet fanless operation

Keyboard has extremely short travel and isn't very tactile. Color gamut on the 1080p model is below average for price range

If you want a very thin and light convertible that's actually comfortable for note taking and drawing, the Lenovo Yoga 900S has strong appeal. It's not as heavy or bulky as 13" convertibles and the fanless design and cool operation mean it's comfy and...
