This said, in normal day-to-day usage, we experienced closer to six to eight hours of life, depending on the screen brightness and CPU saturation." In our Battery Eater test, which maxes out the system until the battery dies, we only clocked 177 minutes, which is short of the 200-minute gold standard. After testing the Yoga 13's battery life, TechRadar said, "Our only real concern is that the battery life is squarely average. The battery life of the Yoga 13 is estimated to be around eight hours. The Yoga 13 is powered by an Intel Chief River platform, using an Ivy Bridge processor, has 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM, and SSD with 128 GB or 256 GB.
"You may never buy a race car, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't mind having a particular shock absorber or tire from it," Lao said.The Yoga 13's capacitive touch display allows for up to 10-point touch control. That doesn't mean some of its features - the 360-degree locking hinge that enables both keyboard and tablet input - won't make it to market in other Lenovo products, though. He said the Pocket Yoga is unbuildable, its usefulness is too limited because of its size and its likely price is too high for these recessionary times. "You can charge a substantial premium for something that is not all that expensive to make if the finish is like a Coach purse or some other high-quality leather piece." "Executives are more about the phone and directing people they don't spend a lot of time writing their own e-mails and memos," he said. He believes that the Pocket Yoga could succeed as a pricey device aimed at so-called metrosexual CEO types. What if the leak was an attempt by a certain faction inside Lenovo to get the green light to build the Pocket Yoga? "The leaks that are really unplanned are truly rare." People lose their jobs if leaks happen," Steiner said. "I've worked with a lot of in-house design studios. launches the Adamo, a thin-and-light luxury notebook - more than a little suspicious. Some, including Steiner, find the timing - a day before rival Dell Inc. Lenovo said it decided to show off the Pocket Yoga after a grainy photo of the device was allegedly smuggled out of its Beijing offices to the popular personal tech site Engadget. Why? "Because," writes Kontra, "to paraphrase Jobs, 'real artists ship.'" Leaks happen Meanwhile, Kontra speculates that Apple "likely generates more concept products and visions than any other technology company for internal use," yet never releases a single concept product, instead choosing to bet "its own billions on a shipping product." Yet, neither is regarded as a design leader, writes Kontra. Two high-tech firms that have released some of the most interesting concept designs to the public over the years are Nokia Corp., with its half-moon-shaped cell phone prototype Morph, or Microsoft with its Surface tabletop computer. That point is expressed more forcefully in a blog by a New York-based "design surgeon" known only as "Kontra." Lenovo's Pocket Yoga. "But quite frankly, unless you periodically deliver on that promise, you lose credibility over time," Steiner said. "What you're trying to demonstrate is that the company can think outside of the box," said Philipp Steiner, a design manager at Teague, a Seattle industrial design firm whose portfolio includes Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 and Hewlett-Packard Co.'s TouchSmart all-in-one PC. It's a tactic used by car makers such as General Motors, which for years released concept cars that it never built, or fashion designers who dress models in unwearable haute couture for the runway that they later water down for retail stores. Lenovo may have hoped that showing off the Pocket Yoga design could help its more plain-Jane models bask in the reflected glory. Widely known for its conservative ThinkPad line of business laptops, Lenovo belatedly made its global foray into the consumer side last year with its IdeaPad notebooks and netbook PCs. I think it would've been better to step up to a netbook size." "It's got crippled content creation capabilities. The Yoga's wide but shallow screen would make it good for reading e-mails, but it would be a pain to type long e-mails or documents, he said. "Unless you're a kid with small hands, nobody is going to be typing on that thing," Lao said.
