Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3 technical specifications table
Design and construction
Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga X1 has retained the same design over the years, and this laptop is no exception from that. Its build materials include Carbon, Glass fiber and Magnesium alloy. This results in a 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs) weight of the convertible body and a profile of 17 mm. What is more interesting here is how the hinge works.
First of all, it is absolutely impossible to open the lid with a single hand. However, this has a reason – Lenovo has a little different approach to the way they cancel the keyboard inputs. Instead of a software cancellation – they have implemented a hardware one – there is a certain point when closing and opening the lid that pushes the keyboard downwards and flushes it to the body. This way they have a longer keystroke and a slim profile, and at the same time – it doesn’t feel weird when you turn it all the way around, because there are no accidental clicks.
Speaking of the keyboard, it is both super quiet (very appropriate for offices) and has some clickiness – this makes it perfect for IT programmers. It also features the famous nipple and buttons on top of the touchpad. Despite, all these things, we think that the most accurate target group for this laptop would be the artists and creators.
