We start with both additions to the Thinkbook family that, as is now tradition, have the most attractive designs, a thickness that will never cease to surprise me (between 1.5 and 1.69 centimeters), which nevertheless have enough to integrate within them a considerable group of new generation elements.
Starting with the Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2, we are faced with a device with 14 inch FullHD display, with support for the sRGB color space and a blue light filtering function, which prevents both eye fatigue and sleep pattern disturbances. In addition to this, it has a touch function and, to ensure its durability, it is protected by Gorilla Glass.
Now inside you, Lenovo chose the twelfth generation of Intel Core, with options up to i7.
The chip will also be responsible for the graphics section, with Intel Iris Xe, and the two development units will be supported by up to 40 gigabytes of RAM and up to 2 TB of PCIe SSD storage, so performance is guaranteed.
Regarding its connectivity, in the wireless section we will find WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1, which are complemented by a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type C connector, 2 USB-A 3.1 ports, 1, an HDMI 2.0 socket, an audio minijack and a MicroSD card reader. The group is powered by a 60 watt hour battery.
And of course, as you may have deduced from her last name Yoga, This Lenovo ThinkBook 14s is formidably malleable, thanks to its hinge, and its tool in this sense grows exponentially thanks to the Smart Pen, its pointing device that, in addition, has Lenovo's Smart Note app, which is automatically activated when you take it out of its location, and which allows quick note-taking with the pointer.
As far as Lenovo is concerned ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 i, we are with a very portable, fast (1.25 kilograms) and incredibly thin solution, less than a centimeter and a half, headed by a 13.3 inch screen with WUXGA or WQXGA resolutions, with a touch option, and like the one we can consider its older brother, it also includes Low Blue Light technology to filter blue light, making its use better for vision.
Under its chassis, this Lenovo ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 i can mount processors up to 12th Gen Intel Core i7, which in addition to the balancing ability is also responsible for the graphics section, with an Intel Iris Xe GPU. In harmony with the performance of this chip, the device can have up to 32 gigabytes of RAM and up to a terabyte of PCIe SSD storage.

For its power supply, Lenovo has used a 56 watt hour battery, which tells us, given that the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 i is on the Intel EVO platform, that it will give us more than enough autonomy for most uses.
