Conclusion
...Yoga 260 bolsters its feature set with a well-implemented convertible lid and an integrated stylus that enhances everyday functionality.The ThinkPad Yoga 260 is a welcome addition to Lenovo's line-up of business-class laptops and serves as one of the firm's most versatile solutions to date.
In addition to offering the build quality, comfortable keyboard and styling you'd come to expect from a ThinkPad, the Yoga 260 bolsters its feature set with a well-implemented convertible lid and an integrated stylus that enhances everyday functionality.
Lenovo has the makings of an excellent all-rounder, yet there are one or two imperfections. The display bezel is inelegant, colour reproduction could be better, and though the convertible form factor works well in stand or tent modes, the Yoga 260's usefulness as a tablet remains a question mark.
The 12.5in display might also be deemed a tad small, and given these few provisos, the ThinkPad Yoga 260 doesn't warrant a top-of-the-range configuration. Keep the price to three figures and you can still get an Intel Core processor, 8GB of memory, a decent-sized SSD and a 1080p screen. Such a machine would make for a reliable everyday companion.
