Looking for a gift for the techie in your life? Or maybe someone you love needs a new laptop or tablet? I recently received the latest hot holiday gift from Intel 2in1, the Lenovo Yoga 900 and am already in love with it!
When I spilled water in my brand new Intel Thinkpad- it was Intel 2in1 to the rescue with this elegant new laptop/tablet. The design is sleek, and the device is super light at only 2.8 lbs and just .59″ thick for me to take on the go. I used it when I traveled to Mexico, and even installed Microsoft Office in just a few minutes!
I am able to slip it into my purse and take it with me in the TV truck during home games to type up last minute scripts…
And it easily turns into a tablet with the 360 degree watchband hinge! What amazing and versatile technology for someone who works at many different locations, and often needs an ultraportable computer and a tablet at a moment’s notice.
The device came installed with Windows 10, and some of the new features include:
- You can easily switch between tablet and latop mode – awesome!
- Cortana the virtual assistant (Like Apple’s Siri)
- Action Center
- “Virtual desktops” Read more here!
- For gamers: you have ability to stream games.
I don’t often accept products or write reviews, but this system is really compact, yet powerful. Bottom line this OS is clean, familiar, easy to understand, and includes a wealth of new features. If you are in the market for a new device, I highly recommend trying this hot holiday gift – the Intel 2in1 !

I am SO glad you found a good solution when your laptop failed miserably. This sounds like a wonderful replacement – and travel companion.
Caryn says
This truly sounds like a perfect gift for everyone. I find when we travel we need our computers and tablets, so this is the 2-in-1 solution. My computer is on the fritz, too, so I will definitely check it out. Thanks and Happy Cyber Monday shopping.

I am actually buying a laptop today – I just don’t know which one. I think the screens on these are a little small for me…I looked at these last year when I bought my HP. Definitely worth a look again!

My hubby and I currently have to take turns with our one laptop when we both have work to do, so getting another one is definitely on our to-do list. I love the two-in-one aspect of this one!

Mindy McGowan says
Ok, I totally want one of these! My laptop is so big and bulky. I would love to be able to travel with it, but it’s just too hard because it’s so big. I’d love to have something I can slip into my pocketbook and take with me wherever I go.
