Firstly, talking about the processors, the Lenovo Yoga Book C930 comes with the Y series of 7^th Gen Intel Core i5-7Y54 processor. To give you a perspective it is just above the Intel Core i3-5005 U performance-wise. In terms of usage, you can do various day yo day tasks like browsing, listening to songs, reading e-books, word processing with ease. For a little bit of graphics-intensive tasks, you get the Intel Integrated GPU the Intel HD Graphic 615.

The Resolution of the primary display is 2560 x 1600 Quad HD display with the screen size of 10.8 inches. Furthermore, the primary display is a touchscreen and has a really good colour representation and the viewing angles are also great thanks to its IPS display. Additionally, the pixel density is 279.53 PPI. Since it is a convertible you can use it by folding it in almost any angle.

Secondly, you get 256 GB SSD from which only 196 GB is usable as a storage option. Furthermore, the Lenovo Yoga Book C930 comes with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM which is a little outdated compared to the current generation of DDR4 RAM's. Considering that it is a convertible it is pretty lightweight, weighing nearly 800 grams.

Thirdly, talking about the Connectivity options you get two USB 3.0 Type C ports. Considering its form factor it's not a surprise that it lacks HDMI port and Ethernet LAN port. It also misses the good old 3.5mm audio jack. To counter all these missing ports it comes with Wi-Fi support for 802.11ac and Bluetooth supports for version 4.2. There is also a variant that comes with a SIM card tray and supports LTE bands for 4G internet connection.

Subsequently, in the operating system, you don't get the option to choose from android and windows like it was with the 2016 model. In the Lenovo Yoga Book C930, you get only Windows 10. Moreover, the Yoga Book comes with the fingerprint reader, 2 MP camera for video conferencing and two Dolby Atmos Audio supported speakers. There is also a feature known as ‘Knock Knock’ where knocking twice on the device when it’s folded makes it unfold. Furthermore, in Battery Life, you get 8.6 hours of the screen on time in regular mode and a massive 13 hours when using only the secondary display. This is due to the fact that it has a 36 Watt-hour battery.

In terms of Keyboard, the yoga book doesn’t have a physical keyboard its secondary display works as the keyboard. It gives the user haptic feedback and smooth animation while typing. This secondary display can also be used as a sketch pad. This secondary display is made from the technology called the E-ink display. It is the same technology that Amazon uses in its kindle line up.

From the outside, the Yoga book looks very premium and feels like an actual notebook which is mainly because of its 9.9 mm thickness. But from the inside its massive bezels make it look outdated.

In conclusion, the Lenovo Yoga Book C930 has a great design and the secondary display, but we would suggest that you should not buy this. This is especially because of the fact that it is priced at a whooping price of 1,49,990 INR. Which is very high compared to other alternatives like iPad Pro or Microsoft Surface Go. You can find the best laptops in this price range.
