Lenovo Yoga series has been a few of most-favorite 2-in-1 devices and the latest addition in the family has a lot of interesting features to offer.
Touch-panel keyboard
There is nothing more futuristic than its Halo keyboard. Lenovo Yoga A12 does not have physical keyboard, it uses virtual keyboard that can offer a smartphone or tablet experience.
Lenovo said that the touch-panel keyboard will also be available in the future's Chromebooks.
One drawback of the keyboard is that it does not support stylus as in the Yoga Book series. You won't be able to write on the touchpad.
Versatile
Lenovo Yoga A12 packs a versatile design with 360-degree hinge that can turn the laptop into a tablet. It has a huge 12.2-inch display and runs on Android Marshmallow, upgradable to Nougat. The modified Android is said to have a custom multi-tasking UI.
To support all of the activities, Lenovo equips its Yoga A12 with 15 hours of battery life.
Chromebook features
Specs-wise, Lenovo Yoga A12 gets 2 GB of RAM in tow with 32 GB internal storage, as reported by Android Police.
Portable
As a budget laptop, the A12 comes with portability feature. It weighs less than a kilogram and it has an ultra thin dimension.
Affordable
The A12 hybrid device is powered by Intel Atom X5. Lenovo purposefully launched the 2-in-1 laptop to cater budget users. Lenovo sells its Yoga A12 series for $299, starting Feb. 8.
Yoga A12 is changing the laptop game especially for artists and designers but Lenovo still needs to up the innards a bit, in order to compete with high-end devices like the 2-in-1 Surface Pro.
The outdated processor and no writing on the touchpad are two big disadvantages but as far as the price is concerned, it still has no direct rival yet.
