It's a ThinkPad. No, it's a Yoga! No, it's...a ThinkPad Yoga. Lenovo has melded two of its popular laptop design approaches together to create a sort of hybrid ultrabook, bringing together elements of its workhorse ThinkPad lineup and multi-mode capable Yoga notebooks. It has the work-friendly keyboard design of the new generation of Lenovo ThinkPads, yet it also has that innovative hinge flexibility and multimode configurations of the Yoga series.

The result is a laptop that's either a more utilitarian, thicker version of the Yoga or a much cooler version of the ThinkPad. It sort of depends on if you're a glass-is-half-full or glass-is-half-empty type.

So which is it? We gave the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga a close look and put it through the paces to see whether this machine offers the best of two worlds or something else all together.
