LENOVO IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro coming

If you care about the mobile Internet era , you will not feel strange for the above two terms . Not long ago , Lenovo tablet laptop has opened up this new field , and the YOGA is one of the most shining one of the products . Innovative flip model, good manufacturing processes, as well as the Lenovo brand effect, making the external media and consumers have of this product has generated strong interest.

In Beijing on 19 October , I had the X86 architecture YOGA did a 13-inch depth evaluation , the excitement was still fresh. Indeed, Lenovo YOGA above innovation is not lip service. However, the place is still some regret : that good ARM version of the 11 -inch YOGA it ? Perhaps out of reserves , perhaps unwilling collided with Microsoft Surface RT . In summary, based on the ARM architecture has become the author of 11 -inch YOGA yearning thing.

Lenovo YOGA 2 Pro with LENOVO IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro Battery is an ARM-based products, so it is not compatible with all applications under X86 platform . Please consumers in the purchase must remember this point , to avoid disputes after purchase . If you look at the appearance of it, probably a lot of people would think , IdeaPad YOGA 2 Pro Yoga 13 but is a smaller version of it , at least I thought it was originally used on an Intel processor . It is not.

The 11.6-inch tablet notebook Although Yoga 13 from the same one , but genes are completely different : it uses the ARM architecture processor , the system is Windows RT. Speaking, it is also the Lenovo launched the first ARM architecture. Specifically , then , IdeaPad 11 equipped we are familiar with NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor , clocked is 1.3GHz. Tegra 3 on November 9, 2011 officially unveiled , is the world's first quad-core mobile processor . Up to now, not only have a variety of Android tablet using this processor , and even Microsoft Surface RT also used it .

Tegra 3 Although known as the "quad " , but in fact , it can be called a " five core" : In the four processor cores , there is one called " companion core (Companion)" processor core . Note that this " companion core" is not a "half -core ." NVIDIA will this architecture is called "vSMP", or " Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing ," and had applied for a patent .

Official information from NVIDIA , we learned that this " companion core" with the other four core , just as Cortex-A9 architecture , using TSMC 40nm process . However, the four main cores using high-performance process (G) manufacturing, for the higher frequency operation optimization ; while nuclear , compared with low-power process (LP) to build, lower leakage current , low frequency operation optimization , the maximum frequency is only 500MHz.

NVIDAI this vSMP architecture , high performance and low power consumption in a balance between , which allows Tegra 3 in different situations with different number of processor cores . Such as standby , play music and video , it will use only with nuclear ; when running the browser , play 2D games , then , as the case turned on one or two main cores ; if it is large-scale 3D game play , then this will four main All core run . Need to emphasize that, when the main core opens, with nuclear also closes . This design will undoubtedly reduce the power consumption can be very good : in the eyes of the operating system , with nuclear does not exist , it will only see four core performance balance , but will not find low- load operation, the actual work is lower power with nuclear .


TOSHIBA Satellite NB10 with 4cell TOSHIBA Satellite NB10 Battery is a 11.3 -inch business notebook tradition , in order to provide greater impact resistance , it is equipped with magnesium alloy internal frame , so the whole thickness and weight and ultra -pole of this there is a big gap , subject to certain mobile portability impact, but its security , robustness , stability , scalability and rich interface and a comfortable keyboard is ultra-extreme difficult to achieve.

Having a processor , let's look at the memory . In this tablet PC 1GB RAM general era , YOGA 2 Pro will upgrade to memory 2GB. This figure for the Tablet PC is no longer small , but if you bring compare it with the traditional laptop is not enough. Well , 2GB RAM, they really help with " tablet laptop " appellation YOGA 2 Pro smooth running Windows RT? Look together .


In design terms , Satellite NB10 with TOSHIBA Satellite Pro NB10 Battery get rid of the once dreary dark gray , cover selected fresh and bright silver-white , with black carbon inside the fuselage , give us a simple and capable of temperament .

In YOGA 2 Pro has just started, do not open any application in the case , its memory footprint was only 23% , this figure is to get in the words of the traditional notebook , small enough to " despise " about them. And a few procedures in the open , it 's memory usage rates have been significantly increased . We can see from the figure , the author opens a Word, an Excel, a PowerPoint, a One Note and two IE window , count the Task Manager , then while there are six software running. At this point its memory is occupied by 41%. However, if it is a traditional laptop , open the software , memory usage is far not the figures. So, for Windows RT is , YOGA 2 Pro 2GB of RAM, enough to use.

In the past, the Tablet PC scalability - whether iPad or Android Pad - seem not worth a mention. iPad Needless to say , only one data interface and a headphone jack only. The Android Pad, generally only guaranteed to have a Micro USB ( or mini USB), 1个Micro SD card slot , a 3.5mm headphone jack , and some models may be equipped with a Micro HDMI, support 3G function will be more a SIM card slot.

For hardware configurations , TOSHIBA NB10 with TOSHIBA Satellite NB10t Battery relatively free , the user can customize according to their needs , they send test version of this , in addition to not use outside SSD solid state drive , CPU, memory , graphics cards are relatively high , especially I7- 4800MQ processor provides ample capacity .

In fact, even Surface RT plus a keyboard protector , we can feel it in the weight and no significant change : After measurement , Touch Cover only 210g. Moreover, in thickness , Surface RT should go one better : only 9.3mm, even with 3mm thick Touch Cover, a total of only just a little bit more than 12mm , 15.6mm with YOGA 2 Pro 's still not a small gap . 

If you want to compare the interface type and number of words , the Tablet PC will defeat to the traditional laptop . This aspect is the traditional tablet thickness of the body has too much limit their interfaces, and we need to relate to the system and processor support . However , Windows RT birth , let us see the Tablet PC with a USB port , which is undoubtedly a good news: We are always easy to use a variety of USB devices, such as U disk, mobile hard disk drives. As WinRT tablet , YOGA 2 Pro and Surface RT tablet while retaining the traditional interface has the same time, there is no reason not accompanied by the USB interface . However, in the kind and number of the interface body , and also there is a difference between the two .

In material terms , TOSHIBA NB10 with TOSHIBA Satellite Pro NB10t Battery is still a metal body , with a magnesium alloy internal frame , powder coated hardened steel shaft and base, can significantly enhance the computer's anti-wrestling , seismic and other capabilities by MIL-STD-810G testing, ensure that users can cope with a variety of adverse working conditions .
