Đánh giá lenovo yoga book windows 10 năm 2024

Đánh giá chi tiết Lenovo Yoga Book - digiphone.com.vn

Lenovo Yoga Book là một chiếc laptop kỳ lạ, đẹp và độc đáo bởi vì nó không có bàn phím cứng. Với kích cỡ chỉ tương đương với một quyển sách bìa cứng, một nửa đúng chuẩn một chiếc tablet với màn hình cảm ứng, nửa còn lại là một bàn phím cảm ứng vô cùng đặc biệt.

Thiết kế Lenovo Yoga Book độc đáo

Laptop Lenovo Yoga Book là thiết bị laptop lai 2 trong 1 siêu mỏng, ngay cả khi gấp lại, sản phẩm cũng chỉ mỏng vỏn vẹn 9.6 mm tại điểm dày nhất và 4.05 mm điểm mỏng nhất. Với lớp vỏ hợp kim magie và nhôm đủ mang lại cảm giác chắc chắn, cứng cáp. Sản phẩm có thể gập 360 độ, cho phép vừa có thể sử dụng như laptop, vừa có thể sử dụng như máy tính bảng hoặc trải thẳng hoàn toàn để tạo thành một giá vẽ. Và đặc biệt là phần phím cứng đã được thay thế bằng dãy cảm ứng có hình dáng của bàn phím và trackpad, với công dụng tương đương.

Màn hình Yoga Book sắc nét

Yoga Book sở hữu màn hình 10.1 inch Full HD IPS. Chất lượng của màn hình này rất tốt, đủ sáng và sắc nét để bạn xử lý văn bản, xem ảnh, chơi game trong nhiều điều kiện ánh sáng phức tạp.

Tính năng tablet Lenovo Yoga Book độc đáo

Bàn phím của Yoga Book độc đáo với thiết kế cảm ứng, phát sáng tuyệt đẹp trên phần tấm nền. Bạn sẽ thấy một bàn phím tuyệt đẹp, không khác gì bàn phím cứng thực thụ nhưng nó hiển thị đẹp hơn, tương phản tốt để người dùng thao tác, đánh máy một cách rất dễ dàng. Ngoài ra người dùng còn có thể thao tác viết, vẽ tuyệt vời bằng bút stylus trên tấm nền của Yoga Book. Bạn có thể đặt một tờ giấy lên tấm nền để viết dễ dàng hơn và ở phần màn hình mọi thứ sẽ hiển thị thời gian thực theo tỉ lệ 1:1. Tất nhiên là bạn cũng có thể viết thẳng lên tấm nền. Tấm nền này do Wacom – hãng chuyên thiết kế những bàn vẽ cho dân đồ họa làm vì vậy trải nghiệm viết vẽ trực tiếp lên tấm nền cũng không thua gì giấy viết thực tế.

Hệ điều hành phù hợp nhiều mục đích sử dụng

Yoga Book có hai phiên bản, một chạy Android và một bản chạy Windows 10, phần cứng của cả hai là như nhau, chỉ khác về bố cục bàn phím mà thôi. Nếu bạn mua Lenovo Yoga Book phiên bản Windows thì có lẽ không cần nói nhiều, bạn sẽ sử dụng máy hoàn toàn bình thường như một chiếc máy tính chạy Windows 10. Còn nếu bạn mua bản Android 6.0, Lenovo cũng tùy biến giao diện rất nhiều để bạn thấy một giao diện quen thuộc như Windows với con chuột, bàn phím, các ứng dụng trên màn hình, … Như vậy với bản chạy Android, bạn vẫn có thể sử dụng máy tương tự một laptop thông thường.

Hiệu năng của Lenovo Yoga Book

Máy tính bảng Lenovo Yoga Book chạy bộ vi xử lý Intel Atom X5, 4GB RAM và 64GB bộ nhớ trong, đủ để cài đặt nhiều ứng dụng cũng như chạy đa nhiệm mượt mà. Sẽ còn nhiều thời gian để kiểm chứng hiệu năng của máy, nhưng bạn hãy yên tâm là Intel đã cố gắng mang đến hiệu suất mạnh mẽ để cạnh tranh với những chiếc laptop khổ thông khác.

Camera đáp ứng tốt nhu cầu

Camera chính của Lenovo Yoga Book có độ phân giải 8MP tự động lấy nét, camera trước 2MP để phục vụ gọi video. Là một chiếc laptop lai nên Lenovo không quá chú trọng vào máy ảnh. Con số 8MP cho camera chính đã đủ để đáp ứng nhu cầu hàng ngày.

Pin bền bỉ lên đến 15 giờ

Lenovo tự hào công bố Yoga Book sở hữu thời lượng pin lên đến 15 giờ. Chiếc máy này có viên pin dung lượng 8500 mAh, tuy nhiên lại không có sạc nhanh.

Right out of the gate, the Lenovo Yoga Book gets credit for offering one of the most unusual designs we've ever seen: This superportable two-in-one laptop/tablet hybrid includes a Wacom sketching pad that can instantly transform into a QWERTY keyboard. The result is a fun, highly portable device that instantly appeals to creative professionals -- but one that's not nearly as practical as Lenovo makes it out to be.

The Good

This is a very slim, very light hybrid laptop, available in both Windows 10 and Android versions. The backlit touch keyboard vanishes at the touch of a button and the included stylus works well on both the Wacom surface and with an ink tip on actual paper.

The Bad

The keyboard isn't suited for more than minimal typing, there's only a single Micro-USB port for accessories and charging, and the Atom processor is slower than mainstream laptops. The hefty pen, extra tips and paper pad are a lot of additional gear to carry around.

The Bottom Line

Lenovo's slim Yoga Book two-in-one is great with a pen, but its faux keyboard keeps it from being a practical laptop.

That doesn't mean it can't be an option for your secondary or travel computer, instead of a Chromebook, iPad or other small-screen budget laptop. But that largely depends on your creation versus consumption patterns, and for creators what you're actually working on.

Instead of a keyboard, the Lenovo Yoga Book has a completely flat space that can be a keyboard when you want it to be.

The most striking feature of this slim 10.1-inch hybrid (available in both Windows and Android versions) is its keyboard, or at least the space on the clamshell body where the keyboard would normally be. Instead, there's a completely flat, button-free surface that alternates between a drawing tablet and a touch-powered backlit keyboard. It's a bit like an iPad's on-screen keyboard, except that it doesn't actually take over part of the screen.

Vanishing keyboard aside, the Yoga Book includes a pretty standard set of components for a budget laptop, with an Intel Atom x5 processor, 64GB of solid-state storage and 4GB of RAM. The price reflects these lower-end internal components, at $499 in the US for the Android version and $549 for the Windows 10 version. They're £449 and £549 in the UK, and AU$799 and AU$999 in Australia, respectively. Both versions have the same internal components, but the Android model has a few keyboard/touchpad changes, some Android-centric software tweaks, and comes with a grey lid, versus the black lid in the Windows version.

When not serving as a keyboard, the flat space can also be a drawing pad.

The overall shape and size of the Yoga Book can't be beat. It's 0.9 mm thick and weighs a hair over 1.5 pounds (680 grams). This is the only laptop I can recall taking to a coffee shop without a case, bag or anything to carry it in. I just tucked it under my arm like a slim paperback.

If Lenovo made a system roughly the same size and shape, but with a physical keyboard (even a very flat one, as in the 12-inch MacBook ), it might be my favorite laptop.

The keyboard that wasn't there

One messes with the traditional design and functionality of the classic QWERTY keyboard at one's own risk, however. Many have tried in the past to prove that an on-screen, or zero-travel, keyboard is as good as having physical keys, and all have failed to one degree or another. There are dozens of add-on keyboards for Apple's iPad , all predicated on the idea that the on-screen keyboard just isn't good enough. Phones probably come closest to hitting the mark, especially with one-thumb swipe-based typing such as what is offered in Swype and SwiftKey, but that's not how you want to write anything more than a quick email or a social media status update.

You will be looking at the keyboard often when typing on this flat surface.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Typing on a flat faux keyboard surface has been done before. My favorite example is a long-forgotten Acer laptop, called the Iconia 6120, from 2011. It was essentially two 14-inch LCD screens clamshelled together. Both were standard laptop touch displays, but the bottom one could show a large, touch-sensitive on-screen keyboard, as well as media transport controls and other widgets. There was never a second generation of that, which should tell you something about how well the concept worked in real life.

The keyboard here called the Halo Keyboard isn't an image overlay on an LCD, but instead a backlit outline against a Wacom digitizer surface. It's the kind of low-feedback experience that requires you to look down at your hands while typing, which may be a deal-breaker to some, but it's also how many of us actually type.

The keyboard lights up on the surface.

Sarah Tew/CNET

While the Halo keyboard lacks the physical feedback of pushing a key down, there are two forms of feedback built in. One works, the other is awful. There's a small haptic kick from typing, and that makes it easier to tell if a keystroke has registered, which is especially important while typing long sentences. That works fine, although it's a general all-over kick, not localized to the area of the backlit keyboard you're trying to hit.

The second is a loud beep with every keystroke. At least it's every keystroke as long as you pause a few beats between each letter. Otherwise, your typing quickly outpaces the audio cues, and you end up with a trailing series of beeps, which totally throws off any typing rhythm. It makes the very minimal keyboard lag feel much worse than it is.

The Windows and Android Yoga Book keyboards differ slightly.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Fortunately, you can turn one or both of these effects off via a control panel, as well as adjust the brightness of the backlit keyboard icons. With the haptic feedback on but the beeping off, the keyboard feels much more exact, with just a tiny bit of lag under fast typing. I trained my fingers to adjust to the quirks of this system quickly, but this isn't a device for longform typing.

The small touchpad below the keyboard is wide but very short, and it's easy to misread exactly where it starts unless you're staring directly down at it. Two-finger scrolling on long web pages and documents works surprisingly well, but the pad lacks the ability to tap-and-drag, or tap-drag-and-select, which are both common moves for standard physical touchpads. Instead, you'll have to use the faux left and right mouse buttons on either side of the touch pad, which leads to some awkward two-hand maneuvers just to highlight some text.

A laptop built for ink on paper

Typing isn't the strong suit of the bottom half of this device, but I was much more impressed by writing and drawing using the included stylus, which Lenovo calls the Real Pen. If you're into knowing the marketing-speak names for things, the Real Pen can be used on the Create Pad, which is what the Halo Keyboard turns into when you turn off the QWERTY keys backlight by tapping a small icon on the upper right side.

Tapping a small icon turns off the QWERTY keyboard and puts the surface into a drawing mode.

Sarah Tew/CNET

That stylus-and-digitizer combo is the most impressive part of the package. The pen works well across several different apps I tried, and the Yoga Book really does feel like a pen-first device, rather than a hybrid with a stylus added on as a marketing bullet point. Not that there aren't opportunities for improvement.

The pen is frankly huge. I half expected to find a small chain for tethering it to the counter at a bank branch. It's topped by a hefty pen cap, which is nearly impossible to remove. Why a cap for a stylus pen? Because there are two possible tips for the Real Pen. One is a standard stylus tip, the other is an actual ink tip. You can swap them at will, although there's no easy way to carry the extra tips -- or the pen itself, for that matter. A stylus with a real-ink option? Explains the Real Pen name at least.

To swap the ends, you place the tip of the pen into a tiny hole in the cap, bend it to a slight angle, and pull. It feels precarious, but I haven't broken one yet. It's helpful to know that the ink part is a standard mini-ballpoint tip, so it's easy to replace (the Yoga Book comes with three).

The stylus tip can be replaced with one that uses actual ink for writing on paper.

Sarah Tew/CNET

It works well with a series of preloaded Windows Ink Workspace apps, which include sticky notes, a sketchpad and on-screen annotation. It also works with Microsoft's OneNote, which we've used frequently in other stylus-enabled laptops and hybrids, but which is also one of the least-intuitive apps I've ever run across, so it's nice to have easy access to other options.

But once you swap in the ink tip, it opens up a whole new avenue for note taking. The Yoga Book comes with a paper note pad, pinned to a black board. That's called the Book Pad, and it uses standard A5 size paper, so it's easy to get refills.

The Book Pad uses standard A5 size paper.

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Book Pad has almost the exact same footprint as the bottom half of the system itself, so the paper fits directly over the digitizer surface, and the bottom of the pad has a magnet in it, allowing it to sit securely in place. Then, using one of the stylus-friendly apps, you can draw or write directly on the paper, and each pen stroke is captured on-screen.

It's highly satisfying, because there's no lag, and the capture is very accurate. The magic lies not in the pad, which is just ordinary paper, and not entirely in the stylus, which is passive, with no battery or power of its own. It's actually the thin layer of electromagnetic resonance film that sits under the keyboard and sends out signal waves, which are returned by the pen.

Writing on the pad is satisfying and responsive.

Sarah Tew/CNET

That means for real-ink writing and capture, you can use the included Real Pen stylus on the included Book Pad paper notepad; or you can use the Real Pen with any piece of paper you have lying around placed over the Wacom slate; but you can't use a standard ink pen on paper, Book Pad or otherwise.

My only real problem with the entire stylus setup is that there's nowhere to store the big, clunky pen, and no way to easily carry both the stylus and ink tips with you. And even if you could, swapping tips on the fly is awkward at best.

You can create digital versions of your drawings, while you draw them on paper.

Creation versus consumption

This brings us back to the consumption versus creation argument, as tablet advocates have pushed for years the idea that touchscreen tablets are as good for the former as they are for the latter. Hybrid systems, such as the rest of Lenovo's Yoga line, attempt to give you the best of both worlds, but are typically better as laptops than tablets.

For content consumption, the Yoga Book was more than adequate for streaming HD video on its 10.1-inch 1,920x1,200-pixel IPS display. On-screen text reading of online newspapers and e-books is also good when the hinge is folded all the way back into tablet mode, although at 1.5 pounds, this is less of a one-handed reading device than a Kindle.

Annotating a document is easy with the pen.

Sarah Tew/CNET

For creation, this is one of easiest hybrids I've used for drawing, sketching and note-taking. Partly that's because everything works fairly intuitively, and partly because it doesn't try to force you into OneNote constantly, like some other stylus-enabled Windows devices do.

But if the content you're creating is the written word, whether that's the great American novel, simple emails or just some hard-hitting, in-depth, but still accessible computer reviews, the Halo Keyboard will be more foe than friend. And you'll spend a lot of time staring down at your fingers while typing. Plus, spending even more time tapping the backspace key over and over again to correct mistyped words and phrases.

A closed book

It's a good thing the Yoga Book is such a self-contained system. It has only a micro-USB port (which is also used for charging), a headphone jack, microSD card slot and a micro-HDMI port, the latter which you'll need to supply your own dongle. That means USB sticks, an external mouse or any other accessory you want to use will be a pain to connect. I'm surprised the Yoga Book uses Micro-USB for its data/power port, and not the newer, and more flexible, USB-C.

The Yoga Book only has a few ports, and notably uses Micro-USB instead of USB-C.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Despite its occasionally maligned reputation, Intel's current generation of Atom CPUs does fine here, giving us enough power for responsive web surfing, HD video playback and lag-free stylus input. It's not going to be your all-day, every-day PC, but considering the years I spent struggling with older Atom-powered laptops that over promised and under delivered, I never felt like the Yoga Book was dragging too much.

Battery life in budget laptops or hybrids can be hit or miss. The low-power Atom helps, as does the close-to-full-HD display resolution. Higher screen resolutions look cool, but are a key battery life killer. In our streaming video playback test, the Windows version of the Yoga Book ran for 8 hours on the dot. The Android version didn't fare as well, running for 5 hours, 57 minutes. But that's a very specific test, and may not play to the Android version's strengths. We're going to play around with the Android version a little more and see what its anecdotal battery life looks like.

A cool idea with a limited audience

The Yoga Book is a fun-sized conversation piece, impressively thin and light, while still packed with features. It's stylus and drawing/sketching/note taking skills are impressive, especially when you use the whole ecosystem (pen, magnetic pad, ink-based tip) that comes packed in the box. And despite the long list of unusual features, the Yoga Book does an admirably good job of making its special skills intuitive to use. In most cases, you won't have to RTFM.

The Yoga Book is very portable, but challenging if you want to type on it.

Sarah Tew/CNET

But unless you're a courtroom sketch artist or Central Park caricaturist, it's hard to say this is the most practical laptop choice for around $500. Simulated keyboards work best in very small formats, such as a phone screen. Even though the Halo Keyboard does an admirable job with the tools it has, typing more than a few sentences is going to make you long for a physical keyboard.

That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy taking it on a few field trips around New York, carrying it as I would a slim book or magazine. But, it also reminded me how much I'd love to have a device of similar size, weight and design savvy, but which didn't make typists feel like second-class citizens.
