Lenovo Yoga 920 Review

Lenovo's Yoga series is the company’s consumer-focused convertible notebook line. It's compromised of two tiers, the mid-grade Yoga 700 and the top-tier Yoga 900. The Lenovo Yoga 920 we're reviewing in this article is the most premium convertible in the line, a fact that’s not hard to miss given its lofty starting price of $1,329. You're getting a very high-quality device with all the bells and whistles for that amount of money. On top of that, the Yoga 920 is even more interesting since it features the latest Intel 8th generation "Coffee Lake" quad-core processors. This marks the first time Lenovo is offering a quad-core processor in a Yoga 700 or 900 series notebook. Our benchmarks will show the Core i7-8550U processor in our review unit offers significant performance advantages over previous-generation Intel chips.

We reviewed the 13-inch Yoga 720 in mid-2017. The primary difference between the Yoga 720 and the Yoga 920 we're reviewing here lies in design. Both notebooks are physically very close in size and weight; however the Yoga 920 has Lenovo's iconic watchband-style hinge, and has a more elegant overall look. The Yoga 920 also has a more powerful battery, although it otherwise shares its technical specifications with the Yoga 720.

As we wrote this, the Yoga 720 went for $1,299 on Lenovo's website when equipped with a 1080p display, a Core i7-8550U processor, 8GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. With those same specifications, the Yoga 920 was $1,549. That's hardly an insignificant difference for most of us. However, some of the extra features of the Yoga 920 may make it worth the extra consideration. Let's find out.
