WEBVTT

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:07.759
today's unboxing is going to be all

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

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

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:23.199
Lenova Lenova the Lenova yoga the Lenovo

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:26.400
Yoga this is a tablet it's a

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.560
notebook it's uh extremely flexible and

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.640
versatile oh that's where they got the

00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:36.440
name I get it I thought one of the executives

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:39.280
wives was really into yoga and she was all like oh you know what you should

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

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

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:56.480
of RAM 64 gig SSD 11.6 in touchscreen

00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:00.600
running Windows RT so what this is meant

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.320
to do is bridge the gap between oh look

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:10.000
at that there's an external box that's horrible and then the one that would

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:10.000
look great on a retail shelf is actually

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:17.680
inside so let's get into the details of

00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:19.520
this tablet notebook thing that actually

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.799
doesn't have a lot of information on this outer box but main selling point is

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.000
the unique and patented hinge design that makes it one of the most flexible

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:36.200
devices out there there's also a 13-in model that will be available at some

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:38.520
point that has a core i7 processor and

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.600
actually runs fully fledged Windows 8 but having a look at the 11-in model

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

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.439
model running Tegra 3 should be significantly more power efficient

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:55.600
giving you much better battery life it's also obviously more portable and you

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

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

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.360
Intel processor you have to be within a certain form factor but either way it

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

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:18.640
biggest complaint about these convertible tablet notebook things in

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:21.400
the past has always been well they're so

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:28.280
much thicker than regular notebooks that it sort of becomes pointless in my in my

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.840
opinion so if as long as it's something

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

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

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:45.480
so that should give you some idea how big it is compared to a Windows Phone

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:50.400
which hopefully actually there is some comparison there to be made um that is

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:55.400
Meaningful on the bottom here we've got four rubber feet for making it not slip

00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:59.360
around the entire construction is metal and I'd expect that out of a product

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

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

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:13.440
Book and you'd expect that from something that's meant to be

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.360
used like this where it actually has to

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:19.799
you know sit up against itself on the back and it has to maintain its rigidity

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

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:29.840
looks like a notebook it walks like a notebook but is it a notebook well yes

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

00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:37.760
of different ways uh number one is notebook style so there you've got a

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:43.000
multi-touch pad you've got a chicklet keyboard you've got a very rugged see

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:47.720
see little things like this nice like rubberized

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:52.239
textured grip here that just feels awesome and feels extremely durable and

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:56.959
hopefully Slick's getting a good shot of that you got the texture going on there

00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:59.239
okay awesome looks like uh no cardinal

00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:05.280
sins committed on the keyboard so we have a wide backspace a wide shift we

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:08.519
have all of our alt and enter and control see this shift is a right space

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.400
as well so they haven't really changed around the format as much as some guys

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.880
do you'll find things like an airplane mode on it because it's running Windows

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

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

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

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.800
yoga before I tried to turn it on using the Windows key which obviously won't

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.840
work so so this is the power button right here as well as a charging

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:39.520
indicator on the other oh this is so nice it's like a rubberized finish here

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:44.600
that just between the sandwiched metal just ah feels really good uh this guy

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:51.720
right here is the uh oh portrait lock or the rotation

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.080
lock here's USB 2 SD card reader power

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

00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.720
just like this but it isn't and does it

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.280
going one both ways yeah look at that it's reversible

00:05:03.039 --> 00:05:08.479
that's handy okay on the back you have the special hinge which will show you

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:14.560
more closeup in a moment here's a headphone microphone Jack USB HDMI which

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.560
is nice to have fulls size HDMI reset

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:21.319
another speaker and volume up and down

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.360
so pretty standard fair for a tablet but

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.840
uh oh yeah the screen looks the brightness is very low right now so

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

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

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

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.639
these actually serve two purposes on this notebook number one is they act as

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.560
a notebook um you know anti-slip thing

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

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

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

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.759
a very good reason see that's what I like about Lenovo they think about stuff

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.360
it's rubberized so that you can hold it like this without your finger slipping

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

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:15.080
hold it with one hand here comfortably with your thumb and your palm on the

00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:19.199
edge and the rubberized grip on the back making it so that you actually don't

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

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

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.759
not like those convertibles where they have a hinge in the middle that rotates

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:35.560
and then you turn thing around I mean what I like about that design is that

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:01.759
that and holds itself still until it gets to about

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.759
180° then it rotates the other

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

00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:13.160
both of these two hinges have

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

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

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:26.000
it goes one back to here where it kind of snaps

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.039
into place well not snaps but like there's a bit of a feelable click there

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

00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:41.520
two you can use it in a stand mode like

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

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

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.240
Windows uh Windows UI so yeah it dimmed

00:07:53.879 --> 00:08:01.479
itself again so let's just go settings and brightness is on oh is that

00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:05.400
as bright as it gets there must be an auto brightness thing going on here

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

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.080
fullon tablet mode so that's like that

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

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:21.879
forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

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

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.240
the keyboard's actually completely disabled so you don't have to worry

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.599
about just touching the rubber grippy Parts you can just mash the entire back

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

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:44.440
happen at all I think I reduced the brightness though somehow I oh right I

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

00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:53.920
keyboard's still off yep there's our on screen keyboard uh when you're

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:57.720
in oh so it probably it's probably triggered by that second hinge so here

00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:04.600
we go let's try this okay so we go to to our search box

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:06.240
so when we go back there we go yep so

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

00:09:07.880 --> 00:09:14.519
that it goes one hinge than the other that's an extremely expensive hinge

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.519
design
