Intel Atom is cheaper than the other Intel CPUs, so much so the Yoga Book is available for less than $550. So I, for one, am glad Lenovo opted for a low-spec'd CPU.įinally, price. ![]() One of the main selling points of the Yoga Book is how thin and light it is - it's great for traveling. Throwing a fan in the Yoga Book would've made the thin form factor almost impossible. Secondly, to keep the Yoga Book thin, Lenovo needed a CPU that would keep cool enough under high-load that it wouldn't need a fan to keep it at sane temperatures. It does choke on heavy websites like TweetDeck, and will slow down when operating heavy programs like Photoshop, but it can handle them if needed. The Intel Atom inside here is good enough for light tasks and multitasking, including email, Office and browsing the web. It's the same reason why I assume Lenovo went for a Full HD display rather than 4K, which most manufacturers appear to be heading for these days. Throwing an Intel Core M or Intel Core i CPU into the Yoga Book would've eaten into the battery life substantially. ![]() We'll talk more about performance in a minute, but for now I want to outline the benefits of using a low-spec'd CPU in a product like the Yoga Book.ĭon't scoff at the lowly Intel Atom 5x processor - it actually performs quite well.įirstly, battery life. Since Intel Atom is somewhat low-spec compared to Core M or Core i CPUs, I've actually not had a bad experience with the Yoga Book's performance. Now, I'm sure you reacted the same way I did when I first realized this wasn't rocking an Intel Core M processor. ![]() Moving onto the insides of the Yoga Book, CPU-wise we're sporting an Intel Atom 5x processor clocked at 2.4Ghz.
