Lenovo’s Yoga 910 is the Yoga 900 convertible, upgraded—and the result is an incredibly well-rounded ultrabook that addresses all of our complaints from the previous version. That’s a rarity in the tech world.
Not only is the new version more powerful than the previous model, it also now has a much longer-lasting battery, a faster SSD, and a gorgeous edge-to-edge display. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s darn close.
Plenty of Upgrades
The already-capable Yoga 900 got a boost across the board to transform it into the Yoga 910. First and foremost, Lenovo has upgraded the CPU from sixth-generation Intel Skylake chips to the new and improved seventh-generation Kaby Lake platform, which offers a modest performance boost. The Yoga 910 has just one option for the CPU, the Intel Core i7-7500U, which is a dual-core part with hyper-threading, a base clock of 2.7GHz, and a boost clock of 3.5GHz. It’s paired with 8GB of DDR4/2133 memory, with the option of 16GB if you buy the most expensive model ($1,649). Yes, you read that right: DDR4 RAM in an ultra-thin laptop. Most Ultrabooks eschew the faster and denser DDR4 for power-sipping LPDDR3, but Lenovo decided to go for the memory-bandwidth brass ring instead.
