VERDICT A laptop, tablet and e-reader, the Yoga Book C930 is a 3-in-1 – but master of none

FOR AWHILE, it looked as if the Lenovo Yoga Book (Shopper 348) wasn’t coming back. The ultra-thin 2-in-1 was out of stock for months at a time and there was no sign of a replacement model. Now, however, it’s been unexpectedly revived – and revamped – with the release of the Yoga Book C930.

We gave the last Lenovo Yoga Book top marks for versatility and innovation but weren’t so keen on its sluggish performance and virtual HALO keyboard. The Yoga Book C930 is a significant step forward, with a higher display resolution and E-Ink secondary display that switches between keyboard, drawing and e-reader modes. The price has doubled since the last time, however, and even after testing we’re struggling to understand why.

TWO FOR ONE

Like all of Lenovo’s Yoga devices, the Yoga Book C930 is a 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop with a 360° hinge. It’s more compact than any other Yoga, however, weighing a dainty 0.75kg and measuring only 9.9mm thick when closed due to the absence of a physical keyboard.

The primary touch display and E-Ink display are both the same size, at 10.8in, but the former uses a higher-resolution, full-colour backlit 2,560x1,600 IPS panel. Inside our review model was a dual-core 1.2GHz Intel Core i5-7Y54, helped along by 4GB RAM. There’s a 256GB SSD, which can be topped up with a microSD card up to a total of 512GB. The old Yoga Book was sold with the option of either an Android or Windows operating system, but Lenovo has killed Android off for the C930, which runs on Windows 10 Home exclusively.
