Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga vs Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display:Hot cake is...........................

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga                                                                                                                        The 14" ThinkPad X1 Yoga is supremely thin yet rigid, and it has a spill resistant keyboard-- it's ready for the road and isn't in the least bit delicate. It weighs 2.8 pounds (1.27 Kg), and Lenovo claims it's the lightest and thinnest 14" business portable. weighing in at just 2.8 lbs. It's not quite as light as the waiflike Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which weighs just 2.6 lbs., but it is noticeably lighter than the 3-lb. MacBook Air, even though that machine has a smaller, 13-inch display. That makes the X1 Yoga a better option for commuters and frequent travelers who need a notebook that's easy to lug around. The definition of versatility, this ultralight 2-in-1 adapts to your business with 4 flexible modes to work, present, create, and connect.  Features a stunning display with intense color and deep contrast. Even a dockable, rechargeable stylus pen. Plus, the fastest, advanced mobile broadband technology available. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga will be the first laptop to offer this technology when it hits the market in spring of 2016, and believe me – it’s incredible. Lenovo will also build an X1 Yoga with a standard display, and showed it side-by-side with the OLED model. I could see the difference even from across the room. The OLED panel’s superior contrast made dark backgrounds look far deeper and, just as importantly, helped fine details stand out.  It is the first convertible device being launched with an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display. We’ve seen these displays predominately on smartphones, with the occasional tablet as well, but it’s now made its way to the laptop form factor. Lenovo is using a Samsung OLED as the optional panel, and it’s a 14-inch 2560x1440 version. Samsung is the market leader in OLED technology, so it makes a lot of sense that they would turn to them for this display. The base device comes with a 1920x1080 IPS LCD, and there is also an optional 2560x1440 IPS LCD too, but the OLED should give a large gamut and of course the deep blacks that OLED is known for, along with infinite contrast. It is exciting to see that this technology is now making its way here. The other big change, as the name of the ThinkPad X1 Yoga indicates, is that the keyboard of Lenovo’s flagship business ultraportable now flips around 360 degrees. So, you can use it in laptop mode, tent mode (like an inverted V), stand mode and as an absolutely enormous tablet. The keys retract into the base for this last mode, to make the rear feel flatter in the hand. The laptop has a 4 cell, 52 Whr battery that's sealed inside. You could replace it if you remove the bottom cover affixed with several Phillips head screws. Lenovo claims 11 hour runtimes (9 for the OLED display model), and as ever that's optimistic. We did however average 9 hours of productivity and streaming video use with brightness set to 40% (a bit dim for my taste) and WiFi on. That's quite good for a very slim and light laptop with a 14" full HD display and the Core i7 CPU. It supports Lenovo's quick charge, so a half hour layover at the airport can significantly top up the battery.The full-sized, backlit keyboard is spill-resistant and the keys retract automatically when not being used as a laptop, so they are not exposed when the keyboard is face-down on a desk or table. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga runs on 6th generation Intel Skylake dual core, 15 watt core i5 and i7 CPUs with SSD drives, and your choice of 1920 x 1080 x QHD 2560 x 1440 IPS touch screens with pen input. An OLED QHD display, It weighs just 2.8 lbs. and is extremely thin yet robust.

In order to see gains over 10 percent, you have to compare the new laptop to models released in 2013.
The graphics improvement is much more impressive: The new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro had a 29 percent increase over last year’s models in the Cinebench OpenGL tests. It’s not the 40 percent that Apple touts, but Apple’s testing was done with a different benchmark that includes three video games.
In the Black Magic Disk Speed Test, the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro posted an average write speed of 1156.1 MBps and an average read speed of 1299.9 MBps. The 13-inch Macbook Pro hasn't had a radical redesign, and its shape, dimensions, weight and port configurations are identical to the outgoing model. That means two Thunderbolt 2 ports, a USB 3.0 port, a headphone jack and a MagSafe 2 port on the left, and a second USB 3.0 port, SDXC card slot and HDMI 1.4 port on the right. The screen resolution is 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, but you actually get the screen real-estate of a 1,280 x 800 pixel-resolution display due to the pixel-doubled effect that provides Retina-like sharpness. Apps like SwitchResX allow you to access even higher resolutions than OS X allows, stretching all the way up to 3,360 x 2,100.
Text is too tiny to be legible at that setting, but opting for one in-between, such as 1,920 x 1,200, lets you fit much more of spreadsheets and other apps into the display than any of the default screen resolutions at the expensive of clarity.
But,The 2015 updates make only a minor difference to the hands-on experience, while similar high-end 13-inch laptops continue to get thinner and lighter.
THE BOTTOM LINE While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.                                           Specs:                                                                                                                                                 Display:13.3-inch    Processor: Intel Core i5     Processor Speed Standard :2.7GHz  Memory (RAM):8GB    Solid State Drive (SSD):128GB                                     Processor Speed Maximum: 3.1GHz    3D:  Intel Iris 6100    Display Finish : Glass    Ethernet:  No    Wi-Fi:  801.11ac      Mobile Broadband/3G: No        Bluetooth: 4.0              Webcam: Yes   HDMI: Yes    DisplayPort:  2 (Thunderbolt)   Audio Connections: Single multi-jack    USB 3.0 : 2                                                                                                        Price:$1299:00,
