Expert tester comments
The 2-in-1 form factor has been implemented by Lenovo in a very neat way on the Yoga 920. Its watchband-like hinge makes it simple to convert from laptop to tablet and back again, and the whole units just looks finely crafted and elegant. It's one of those new-style laptops that has more USB-C ports than conventional USB 3.0 ports (and a USB-C power adapter), but Lenovo doesn't supply any USB-C adapters with it. We had issues getting the USB-C ports to work properly, and had to apply a firmware update for the unit to detect our HDMI screens via its USB-C ports. Something to keep in mind if you purchase this laptop and find its USB-C ports don't work properly. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
