6/30/2023 0 Comments Yoga 900 10 point multitouch![]() ![]() If you watch the same video in Edge, the notebook will hardly even notice. If you start a 4K video in Chrome, it will stutter, drop frames and will be terrible to watch. In a nutshell: Google Chrome does not offer hardware acceleration for decoding and playing 4K videos. I am sad to see the situation is the same with the YOGA 900 as well. I wrote about 4K videos with the Yoga 3 Pro in my original review, and revisited the problem later on. There were situations where the Y3P would slow down – there is nothing to notice on the YOGA 900, it just keeps going. Multitasking also works really well, even if running several large applications at the same time. Writing code, compiling, watching movies, image editing, the YOGA 900 took it with ease. I was able to perform all the same things as on my main work computer. Unlike the Core M variant, this one is blazingly fast. The YOGA 900 includes a full mobile/ultrabook CPU, the i7-6500U. One point where people were complaining for the Yoga 3 Pro was the processor performance. ![]() So because of the high resolution screen, some apps will look strange or work strange or will look so tiny, you need a magnifying glass to figure them out. High resolution pictures look amazing, as do 4K videos I watched from YouTube.ĭisplay scaling is not a strong suite for Windows, even in Windows 10. To my eyes the display is above average in quality. I did not perform any RGB gamut testing or other measurements, I leave that to more scientific reviews. The display looks very nice, it is vibrant and has bright colours. You can tweak the sound with the Dolby Audio app, even create your own equalizer profiles. The sound is clear and sounded good to my ears. ![]() I enjoyed listening to all kinds of music very much. Plug in some headphones and you will be pleased with what you hear. They are still loud and clear, but I would not perhaps use them for music or movies (audio conferencing is ok, as is some light Youtube video watching). The very flat profile of course means the speakers lack any kind of bass. The combination makes for a great package audio-wise. The YOGA 900 comes with a Realtek sound card, JBL speakers and Dolby Audio software. The touchpad is quite large, which makes it easy to use. I love scrolling through web pages using the touch pad only (two finger scroll). For left clicks and gestures, it works perfectly. I had some trouble registering right clicks at first. The touch pad is very smooth and feels very nice to use. There is one adapter offered by Lenovo, but I could not find a store in Finland to buy it from. We will have to see how the situation changes down the line. If you buy an “adapter” and it wants to install drivers, complains about USB modes or is just not plug-n-play, check again, you might have been tricked.Īt the time of this review I have yet to find a good solution for outputting display signals. Nothing like that is needed for the YOGA 900: the USB 3.1 port is capable of driving displays. I tried ordering an adapter off eBay, only having to return it: it was not a proper adapter, rather an external USB graphics card. This situation might change as new adapters are released and USB 3.1 Type C connectors become more widespread. This means I cannot hook up the YOGA 900 to an external display. At least in Finland there is no proper conversion adapter to be able to connect the notebook to something I already have (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, etc). This little connector that represents the future actually gives me the most headache. ![]() It provides DisplayPort over USB 3.1 Type C, or you can use an adapter to transform that. You might notice that the notebook lacks any sort of digital display out port, but in fact the USB 3.1 Type C provides this output. NOVO button (to enter BIOS, restore the notebook, etc). ![]()
