When you open the device's lid, the differences are similarly subtle. It takes up little space and isn't heavy to carry. And in carting this device back and forth to New York, Phoenix, Vermont, and into Boston by virtually every mainstream form of travel available, I found the Yoga 2 Pro to be just as good a travel companion as the X1 Carbon.
Carrying it around in a bag, however, the profile is similar. The Yoga 2 Pro and X1 Carbon weigh almost exactly the same-3 pounds-but the Yoga 2 Pro packs a 13-inch screen while the X1 has a bigger 14-inch unit, and the Yoga 2 Pro is a bit thicker. I could see it turning some people off-no worries, plain black and dull gray are available for the less outgoing-but were I buying this machine, this is the color I'd choose. The most obvious and striking thing about the Yoga 2 Pro, at least for my review model, is the colorful "tangerine" exterior, a color I happen to like quite a bit. This review of course updates my initial impressions based on months of real-world usage. They are both absolutely first class PCs.īefore proceeding, please make sure you've read my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro First Impressions and Photos. Putting this device head-to-head against its X1 Carbon stable mate, it's a photo finish, and depending on your needs and preferences, I could see many opting for the Yoga 2 Pro instead. By way of comparison, I'll describe the Yoga 2 Pro as the best "2-in-1," or transforming PC-it's really a "4-in-1" PC-that I've ever used. I recently declared that the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the best Ultrabook I've ever used. This device is more consumer/prosumer than business, and in addition to multi-touch capabilities, it offers a stunning, super-high-res screen that can be oriented in a variety of ways, transforming the usual into something quite versatile.
If you're turned off by the all-business persona and lofty price of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, no worries: Lenovo offers the stylish and innovative Yoga 2 Pro as an intriguing alternative.
