ThinkPad Yoga 370

At the first glance, the Yoga 370 seems to be a completely new model. It really is the first ThinkPad Yoga with a 13,3" display. But if we take a closer look at the new model, the similarities with the Yoga 260 become obvious. It seems Lenovo simply used a bigger display for the Yoga 260 chassis, which is easily possible, considering the rather large bezels of the old model.

Aside from this upgrade in the screen-size, the Yoga 370 ditches the proprietary Onelink+ standard as well as the mDP for Thunderbolt 3. Also, the battery is slightly larger now compared with the Yoga 260, containing 51 Wh instead of 44 Wh.
