Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 15, the biggest Yoga in Lenovo’s business oriented line of Windows convertible or 2-in-1 Ultrabooks. The Yoga 15 can be used as a laptop, tablet or in tent and presentation modes. It has Lenovo’s Lift n’ Lock backlit keyboard and a 15.6” full HD IPS touch screen. The laptop runs on Intel ULV Ultrabook dual core CPUs and our unit has the 2.2 GHz Core i5-5200U. It has 2 RAM slots for up to 16 gigs of RAM and a 2.5” drive bay for an HDD or an SSD. It has switchable NVIDIA 840M dedicated graphics with 2GB DDR3. The ThinkPad Yoga 15 weighs 5 lbs. and is 0.84” thick, and it has an aluminum lid and magnesium alloy internal frame. The quick ship Core i5 model sells for $849 and our review unit with 8 gigs of RAM, Core i5 and a 180 gig SSD retails for around$1,000.
