However, unlike the traditional squared Lenovo ThinkPad T Series design, the Yoga S1 sports a softer curved look more akin to the Lenovo ThinkPad S431. The aesthetic much like the rest of the notebook looks to parse the divide between being a practical business tool and a stylish ultrabook.
More in line with the typical Yoga design, the ThinkPad Yoga S1 features the iconic 360-degree display hinge, allowing the notebook to easily transform between the standard notebook, tablet, tent and stand modes. New to the Yoga S1, the molding around the keyboard raises to create a flat surface when display hinge passes 180 degrees. While it may seem like a rather small feature, the flat surface does make the device more comfortable to handle in tablet mode. As with other Yoga devices the majority of the notebook’s buttons (sans a Windows button located below the device’s display) have been positioned along the right side of the device’s chassis. From there you can access the power button, independent volume controls or lock the display’s screen orientation.
