There's something reassuring about a ThinkPad. In some ways, little has changed for decades: the staunchly unfashionable design and retro logos hark back to the devices of IBM days, and even the name has its origins in the IBM of the 1920s – it was born f...

Following in the footsteps of HP’s rather lovely EliteBook Folio 1020 , the ThinkPad Yoga 260 delivers its compact business thrills in a 12.5in-screened package. That in itself gives it a slight edge over the myriad 13.3in devices on the market. It’s just...

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 is an amazing device. Its thin profile makes it just as convenient to carry as any tablet, honestly. You get the battery life of a tablet too, something Windows 2-in-1s still fail to do today. The touchpad is accurate and the...

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260.As I mentioned in my Lenovo 700 review, I've never been a fan of the folding-style of 2-in-1 machines. I mentioned their thickness in tablet mode, and the oddity of feeling the keys on the underside of the “tablet.” The Lenovo Thi...
