    The Lenovo Yoga line has become quite popular, offering consumers the comfort of a tablet with the stability of a laptop. Now Lenovo wants to afford that same level of flexibility to its enterprise-grade users with the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1.

    Outfitted with a magnesium alloy build and equipped with an Intel Core i5-4200U CPU and a 128GB SSD the notebook features the durability and performance expected of a business notebook, all while retaining the flexibility of the 360-dgree hinge design that the Yoga namesake has become known for.

    However, looking to offer the allure of a consumer ultrabook with the practical needs of a business notebook is no small task. Can the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1 walk that fine line? Or will the device stretch itself too think? Read the full review to find out.

    The reviewer should mention that the specific AH-IPS panel used in the ThinkPad Yoga tends to have image retention issues.
    For reference, the panel is LP125WF2-SPB1


    Also the max brightness of the panel seems to be near 400 nits and not 330.

    A discussion of digitizer accuracy out of the box and after proper calibration wouldn't hurt either.

    The reviewer should also include the following under cons as well: soldered RAM ( 8 GB maxed) , non user removable battery , etc.
