# Powerful Convertible Laptops The Yoga 900 Convertible Laptop is More Powerful Than Ever By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-10-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-900 References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/lenovo-yoga-900-details/39923/) & [shop.lenovo](http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/yoga-laptop-series/yoga-900-13/) The Yoga 900 Convertible Laptop is an all new computing machine, brought to you by [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-laptops), that is the latest version in the company's Yoga lineup of 2-in-1 machines. This laptop is characterized by more raw power, which comes with the slight compromise of a little more weight and thickness. This new Yoga 900 is 16 percent thicker and 8 percent heavier than its 2014 predecessor. However it does provide a significant performance boost, as it offers a 6th-generation Skylake [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-yoga-book-9i) [Core i7](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-spectre-x360-14-ef) processor, and supports up to 16 GB of RAM. With any laptop, certain features require you to accept tradeoffs, and these tradeoffs can often be worth taking. That's definitely the case with the new Yoga 900, as the increased computing power more than justifies the slight increase in weight and thickness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Convertible Laptop Power Boost:** Lenovo's new Yoga 900 offers more raw computing power and performance. - **Thicker Laptops for More Power:** Thick and powerful laptops are making a comeback to offer greater capabilities to users. - **Performance Over Portability:** Consumers are accepting heavier and thicker laptops to gain more processing power. ### Where This Applies - **Computer Hardware:** The computer hardware industry can capitalize on the increased demand for thicker and more powerful laptops. - **Technology Retail:** The technology retail industry can benefit from offering thick and powerful laptops for consumers seeking more processing power. - **Gaming:** Gamers are increasingly demanding thicker and more powerful laptops to support high-performance gaming experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Mobile Professional Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-laptops.md) - [High-Powered Convertible Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-spectre-x360-14-ef.md) - [Multi-Position Dual-Display Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-yoga-book-9i.md) - [Dual-OLED Display Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-yogabook-9i.md) - [Flexible Premium Professional Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-thinkpad-x9-15p-aura-edition.md) - [Lightweight Convertible Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-convertible-laptop.md) - [Ultrathin AI-Accelerated Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-slim-7x.md) - [13-Inch Reversible Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre-x360-13-5.md) - [Hybrid Convertible Laptop Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-convertible-laptop.md)
