The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S is clearly an improvement over the Yoga 11. It's powerful, lightweight and has a nice screen—easily one of the best 11-inch hybrids we've seen. The biggest drawback is its relatively low battery life, which nearly cost it its f...

Say hello to the Lenovo Yoga 11S, the smaller and more portable version of the Yoga 13 and the follow-up to the original Windows RT Yoga 11. It fits right into the family, being a double-jointed Ultrabook that can fold up into multiple positions. Is th...
The Yoga 11S shares the same solid build quality as its bigger brother. The keyboard is nice and firm, it has thin chassis lines, and it comes in two colours, making it an attractive Ultrabook. (Ours was bright orange, but a more understated silver-grey version is also available.) We've seen it before in the rest of the Yoga family, but the transforming element is still impressive. Bored of using...
While Lenovo has crammed in faster components, it does mean that the 11S gets quite hot. It's not really a problem when you're using it as a tablet, or if you've got it propped up on a desk, but use it as a laptop and your lap could get uncomfortable pretty quickly. Battery life is also a concern - the Yoga 11S's third-generation processor doesn't have the same energy-saving smarts as Intel's fou...
Lenovo has kept the same fun transforming form factor as its original 11-inch wunderkind, but has pumped up the processing power, making the 11S an attractive purchase and a better Windows 8 hybrid than Microsoft's own Surface Pro. It's not cheap, star...

Be sure the slower Y-series processor is up to your needs” said Ben on his review of the Core i7 version of the 11s. If you’re happy with ‘Y’ then at $699 this is a great-value sub-notebbook. Is it an Ultrabook? That’s debateable but one thing is for sure, this is a goo...
