The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S is a lightweight, compact hybrid device combining notebook and tablet functionalities, introduced towards the end of 2012. Similar to the Yoga 13 and Yoga 11, it incorporates a dual-direction hinge that enables various usage modes. Unlike some models, the Yoga 11S operates on the complete version of Microsoft's Windows 8 platform.
Launch
In the United States, the Yoga 11S became available for purchase starting June 2013.
Design
As a member of Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga series, the Yoga 11S features a versatile convertible design with a display that rotates to support laptop, tablet, tent, and stand configurations. This model comes in two color options: silver and clementine orange.
Specifications
Equipped with Intel "Ivy Bridge" Core i7 processor options, the Yoga 11S can be customized with up to 8GB of RAM and a solid-state drive capacity reaching 256GB. Its screen measures 11.6 inches diagonally and offers resolution choices between 1366×768 and 1600×900 pixels. The device runs on the full Windows 8 operating system.
Reviews
According to CNET, the Yoga 11S strikes an effective balance by pairing an 11-inch lightweight frame with full Windows 8 functionality, addressing limitations of previous versions that either featured Windows RT or were too bulky for tablet use.
Eric Abents from Slash Gear remarked that while the Yoga 11S shares a strong resemblance with the Yoga 13, its smaller size enhances portability and makes it more suitable for tablet mode. He also emphasized the benefit of having full Windows 8 as opposed to Windows RT.
