1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,759
today's unboxing is going to be all

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:13,200
about yoga so I'm going to get up on the table here and do like no no no no no

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:19,240
none of that none of that no no actually we're going to be having a look at the

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:23,199
Lenova Lenova the Lenova yoga the Lenovo

5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:26,400
Yoga this is a tablet it's a

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:29,560
notebook it's uh extremely flexible and

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,640
versatile oh that's where they got the

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:36,440
name I get it I thought one of the executives

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:39,280
wives was really into yoga and she was all like oh you know what you should

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,480
call your new product the yoga no I get it okay okay I I got that before uh this

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:52,879
one right here is the yoga 11 so this is an 11 in Tegra 3 2 gig 64 uh so 2 gigs

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:56,480
of RAM 64 gig SSD 11.6 in touchscreen

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:01:00,600
running Windows RT so what this is meant

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,320
to do is bridge the gap between oh look

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:10,000
at that there's an external box that's horrible and then the one that would

16
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:10,000
look great on a retail shelf is actually

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,680
inside so let's get into the details of

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,520
this tablet notebook thing that actually

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,799
doesn't have a lot of information on this outer box but main selling point is

20
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:30,000
the unique and patented hinge design that makes it one of the most flexible

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:36,200
devices out there there's also a 13-in model that will be available at some

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,520
point that has a core i7 processor and

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,600
actually runs fully fledged Windows 8 but having a look at the 11-in model

24
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:46,799
here should give you some idea of what the form factor is capable of and the RT

25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,439
model running Tegra 3 should be significantly more power efficient

26
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:55,600
giving you much better battery life it's also obviously more portable and you

27
00:01:53,079 --> 00:02:00,079
know stuff now the thing about the 11-in model is that it's not an Ultrabook

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,560
whereas the 13-in one is so remember to be an Ultra Book you have to run an

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Intel processor you have to be within a certain form factor but either way it

30
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:12,680
should give you guys some idea what to expect in terms of the form factor so my

31
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:18,640
biggest complaint about these convertible tablet notebook things in

32
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:21,400
the past has always been well they're so

33
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:28,280
much thicker than regular notebooks that it sort of becomes pointless in my in my

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,840
opinion so if as long as it's something

35
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:35,640
that can fit into a regular sort of more normal form factor than I don't mind it

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,480
for size comparison I've got an HTC 8X cuz I'm not using an iPhone anymore and

37
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:45,480
so that should give you some idea how big it is compared to a Windows Phone

38
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:50,400
which hopefully actually there is some comparison there to be made um that is

39
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:55,400
Meaningful on the bottom here we've got four rubber feet for making it not slip

40
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:59,360
around the entire construction is metal and I'd expect that out of a product

41
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,440
like this that is I mean it's Lenovo for one thing so you just sort of expect it

42
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,200
to be extremely solidly built you can see there's very little Flex to the chassis even though it's a thin Ultra

43
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:13,440
Book and you'd expect that from something that's meant to be

44
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,360
used like this where it actually has to

45
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,799
you know sit up against itself on the back and it has to maintain its rigidity

46
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:23,920
no matter what you're doing so that is that is the hinge design right there it

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:29,840
looks like a notebook it walks like a notebook but is it a notebook well yes

48
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,760
but is it just a notebook the answer is know so it's meant to be used a number

49
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:37,760
of different ways uh number one is notebook style so there you've got a

50
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:43,000
multi-touch pad you've got a chicklet keyboard you've got a very rugged see

51
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,720
see little things like this nice like rubberized

52
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:52,239
textured grip here that just feels awesome and feels extremely durable and

53
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,959
hopefully Slick's getting a good shot of that you got the texture going on there

54
00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:59,239
okay awesome looks like uh no cardinal

55
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:05,280
sins committed on the keyboard so we have a wide backspace a wide shift we

56
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:08,519
have all of our alt and enter and control see this shift is a right space

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,400
as well so they haven't really changed around the format as much as some guys

58
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,880
do you'll find things like an airplane mode on it because it's running Windows

59
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,199
RT it is sort of a tablet and I did try to power it on and that didn't work for

60
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,040
me so I'm going to go ahead and plug it in and we'll be back in a moment yeah

61
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,800
you know what maybe what I should have done is a tour of the buttons on the

62
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,800
yoga before I tried to turn it on using the Windows key which obviously won't

63
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,840
work so so this is the power button right here as well as a charging

64
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:39,520
indicator on the other oh this is so nice it's like a rubberized finish here

65
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:44,600
that just between the sandwiched metal just ah feels really good uh this guy

66
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:51,720
right here is the uh oh portrait lock or the rotation

67
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,080
lock here's USB 2 SD card reader power

68
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:59,720
in the power in looks suspiciously like a you know USB port when you look at it

69
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,720
just like this but it isn't and does it

70
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,280
going one both ways yeah look at that it's reversible

71
00:05:03,039 --> 00:05:08,479
that's handy okay on the back you have the special hinge which will show you

72
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:14,560
more closeup in a moment here's a headphone microphone Jack USB HDMI which

73
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,560
is nice to have fulls size HDMI reset

74
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,319
another speaker and volume up and down

75
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,360
so pretty standard fair for a tablet but

76
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:25,840
uh oh yeah the screen looks the brightness is very low right now so

77
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,440
we'll have to show you guys again when the brightness is higher so that's just

78
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,520
the the way that it comes out of the box but the screen is has a great viewing

79
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:39,840
angle the colors don't distort no matter which angle you're looking at it from so

80
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:44,639
these actually serve two purposes on this notebook number one is they act as

81
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,560
a notebook um you know anti-slip thing

82
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,120
the other is they protect the top cover when you're using it in tablet mode so

83
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,000
this is how it's intended to be used now when you're holding it as a tablet

84
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:58,639
there's only going to be a couple different ways that you can hold on to it so this is rubber oh right again for

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,759
a very good reason see that's what I like about Lenovo they think about stuff

86
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,360
it's rubberized so that you can hold it like this without your finger slipping

87
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:10,639
or without uh not being able to hold on to it it's also you know so that you can

88
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:15,080
hold it with one hand here comfortably with your thumb and your palm on the

89
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:19,199
edge and the rubberized grip on the back making it so that you actually don't

90
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,400
just drop the thing so let's show you the hinge up close so this is what it

91
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:27,319
looks like it's metal it's strong it feels robust like when you move it it's

92
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,759
not like those convertibles where they have a hinge in the middle that rotates

93
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,560
and then you turn thing around I mean what I like about that design is that

94
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,199
you don't have the keyboard on the back when you're when you're using it as a

95
00:06:36,919 --> 00:06:42,960
tablet but what I like about this design is it doesn't feel like it's going to

96
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,039
break in 2 seconds like those other ones whether they do or don't break I don't

97
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:51,479
know I've never actually used one for an extended period of time but it just doesn't feel right to me so the hinge

98
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:56,479
bends here so here if you can get in close you can see it bends this way like

99
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:01,759
that and holds itself still until it gets to about

100
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,759
180° then it rotates the other

101
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,080
way okay now you can see it's not bending here anymore so both of them so

102
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:13,160
both of these two hinges have

103
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:18,199
180° rotations but the way that it works is very smooth so it goes one as you

104
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,759
fold it back one then the other and then when you bring it back to notebook mode

105
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,000
it goes one back to here where it kind of snaps

106
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,039
into place well not snaps but like there's a bit of a feelable click there

107
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:38,599
and then the other until you actually close it so the way it's meant to be used number one notebook mode number

108
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:41,520
two you can use it in a stand mode like

109
00:07:38,599 --> 00:07:47,080
that so you can actually sort of just go the other way that it's meant to be

110
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:53,879
used is tent mode so it can obviously flip over there we go now we got our

111
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,240
Windows uh Windows UI so yeah it dimmed

112
00:07:53,879 --> 00:08:01,479
itself again so let's just go settings and brightness is on oh is that

113
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:05,400
as bright as it gets there must be an auto brightness thing going on here

114
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:11,560
that's adjusting it so uh so there you go and then the last one of course is

115
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,080
fullon tablet mode so that's like that

116
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,080
so there you go that's pretty much our Hands-On with the Lenovo Yoga 11 don't

117
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,879
forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

118
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:28,240
videos so slick made a good point this is really cool when you're in this mode

119
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,240
the keyboard's actually completely disabled so you don't have to worry

120
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,599
about just touching the rubber grippy Parts you can just mash the entire back

121
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,919
and you can see I'll bring up a text prompt here nothing's actually going to

122
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:44,440
happen at all I think I reduced the brightness though somehow I oh right I

123
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:48,920
took out the power plug however let's see uh so when you're in this Mode

124
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:53,920
keyboard's still off yep there's our on screen keyboard uh when you're

125
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,720
in oh so it probably it's probably triggered by that second hinge so here

126
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:04,600
we go let's try this okay so we go to to our search box

127
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,240
so when we go back there we go yep so

128
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,320
it's triggered by uh by that second hinge so that's why it's so important

129
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:14,519
that it goes one hinge than the other that's an extremely expensive hinge

130
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,519
design
