Lenovo Yoga 900

Lenovo Yoga 900 Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
I’m a fan of 2-in-1 computers. Ever since I acquired the HP Spectre x360 earlier this year (review HERE), I can’t see myself using any other type of portable computer. 2-in-1’s give me true lapability with quick-o change-o touchscreen tablet abilities. With a quick twist of the wrist a 2-in-1 allows me to go from mouse and keyboard productivity to touchscreen fury in seconds. Microsoft touts lapability with the Surface Pro 3 and 4, but if you’ve ever used a 2-in-1 for any length of time you know that the Surface tablet line still leaves a bit to be desired in this area. Plus, a 2-in-1 doesn’t give you “Surface thighs” – you know, when you use the Surface on your lap and the kickstand leaves thin, red indentations in your legs like you’ve been sunbathing, face down on an old-style lounge chair with adapter like HP Compaq NX6310 AC Adapter, HP DV4 AC Adapter, HP DV5 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario M2000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NC8000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N5400 AC Adapter, HP Compaq v2000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NX8220 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE4500 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE2000 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario V6000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DM1 AC Adapter.
Being enamored with 2-in-1’s and having grown fully charmed by the HP Spectre x360, every single laptop or similar device I’ve tested this year has (unfortunately) been scrutinized and compared against the Spectre. If HP doesn’t win some sort of 2015 design award for the Spectre x360, I’ll be surprised. But, here’s the thing – I believe that the Lenovo Yoga 900 is better. It took almost the entire 2015 calendar year, but someone finally manufactured a unit that I believe is better than the HP Spectre x360. And, I think it really has a lot to do with the length of my testing. There’s nothing major about the Yoga 900 that makes it superior to the Spectre, but it’s the little things – the extra attention to detail – that make it stand out that can only be experienced by using it longer than a couple days. So, Lenovo is actually pretty fortunate I was on my way out the door for another week-long trip when the Yoga 900 arrived. I had enough time to setup and personalize the Yoga 900 and take it with me to be my single computer for the week.
Even though I’ll admit that the Yoga 900 is a better device than the HP Spectre x360, it’s not perfect. So, let’s start there. There are a few dings I give the Yoga 900 that I think are minor, but for some of you may represent a deal-breaker.
Dings:
•Unwanted software – Ah, Lenovo. Blasted in the news and by journalists for installing spyware, the company can’t seem to realize that customers really don’t want extra software. With the Yoga 900, Lenovo doesn’t mend any fences. There’s a litany of “Lenovo” branded apps pre-installed and none of them are very good. They are easy to enough uninstall, but still, a clean PC should be a goal for a company trying to prove its not spying on customers. On first boot, I was confronted with a McAfee security screen asking me to sign-up for a subscription. No thanks.
•Doesn’t offer pen support – The HP Spectre x360 offers pen support, the Lenovo Yoga 900 doesn’t. The one for the Spectre is an additional, semi-expensive add-on but at least HP gave credence to those that might possibly want the ability. However, it’s now almost 8 months since the Spectre release and I don’t see too many people using a pen on a tablet regularly – even on Microsoft’s Surface line.
•AC Adapter is too bulky – Lenovo provides a unique power adapter with the Yoga 900, but it’s just too bulky. On a power strip or in a two-socket power outlet, the size and shape of the AC adapter means you sometimes can’t plug in anything else beside it.
