I only buy and use the Yoga Tab tablets for the sound quality and the longer battery life, and because they are at the lower end of the price of their competitors. The one thing I have learned about Lenovo is that my experience, so far, has shown me the next generation of any of their products doesn't necessarily mean they took the time to improve them the way one would expect them to. A couple of slight differences, but it was almost as though you were reviewing the machine I had returned. Same issues as you mentioned in this review, oddly enough.
A few years ago I purchased a Lenovo laptop, prior to the release of Windows 8, and it went back to Best Buy within the 15 day return period. I have certain issues with Lenovo products, though mine are geared toward the tablets rather than the laptop. You put 5 sites together and show them loading within generous bandwidth - and that would tell us surfers a LOT.Īnother great review. Since more and more the web is becoming 'our' computer - I felt this sort of number matters. But I couldn't put my finger on exactly how slow until this test. That 'slowness' I had noted on the unit in general. My nutty quad core Apollo Lake Voyo Mini PC? 59 seconds. My 3 month old Asus Zenbook Flip with a Core M took 26 seconds to open everything. 3 year old iMac 2.7Ghz Intel Core i5 took 21 seconds to open everything.Ģ. I cleared cache, closed browser, re-opened - and timed how look it took each computer to open all pages.ġ. I had all browsers set to open the same four tabs: MacSurfer, Huffingtonpost, Facebook, FB Messenger, and Google Keep.ģ. But in a way it doesn't matter - since if I like Firefox I'm forced to use it in either platform.)Ģ.
(Now that right there becomes iffy… because who knows if the Windows Firefox is faster than the Mac Firefox. All three computers were tested with the latest Firefox browser.
When I did this one my three year old iMac, my Asus Zenbook Flip, and my new Voyo VMacMini V1 baby PC - no benchmarks were needed. Your attempt at conveying 'the feel' is showing some light MS Office work and frame rates on Minecraft - but I think I have an even more immediate example that EVERYONE experiences on a computer everyday: opening a browser with some preset tabs ready to go. It's very mathy and scientific and all, but I must confess at the end of the day I'm lacking the 'feel' of it all. You go the extra mile and compare benchmarks to similar models. When I see you talk about computer speeds, you and other Tubers break out the benchmarks. I couldn't find the place to leave this - so I thought here.

But the GPU performance is really poor especially given it’s really not all that much faster than the Intel integrated graphics on the new 7th generation Kaby Lake processors.
