The Swiss Army knife of business laptops, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Yoga can handle everything from light editing to heavy design work. Starting at $1,161, this 14-inch, bend-back 2-in-1 features a battery that will last a full workday, a screen with vivid colors, and a stylus for drawing and navigating Windows. We tested three configurations, one with a Core i5-6200U processor and 1080p touch screen, another with a Core i7-6400U processor and a 2560 x 1440 display and a third with a Core CPU and a 2560 x 1440 OLED display. In all cases, we found strong performance, long battery life and a superior productivity experience. The OLED panel, the first on a 2-in-1, offers colors more vibrant than any we’ve seen on a business laptop.
