Editorial note

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 stands out with its 2-in-1 hybrid design, offering flexibility between laptop and tablet use, which perfectly meets the varied needs of users. Its 12.5-inch screen with a Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) ensures clear and immersive display quality, making it an excellent choice for work and entertainment. Equipped with a 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM, this model offers solid performance for multitasking tasks. However, it may prove limited for more demanding applications. The battery, on the other hand, offers up to 8 hours of autonomy, a considerable asset for users on the go who seek to avoid frequent recharges. Despite its many advantages, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The absence of USB 2.0 ports and Ethernet/LAN ports may require the purchase of additional adapters, which could diminish the perceived value of the product. Additionally, the 256 GB storage capacity may be insufficient for users with significant storage needs, particularly for multimedia files or heavy software. The weight of 1600 g may also be considered relatively heavy for a hybrid device, which can affect its portability during frequent travel. In summary, the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 is a versatile device with attractive features, but it may not be suitable for all users due to certain limitations related to connectivity and storage.
