Today, Lenovo launched the second ARM-based Windows10 laptop for the Yoga series. The new product is called the Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS (Windows on Snapdragon). It is equipped with the Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 850 processing. It is also the world’s first notebook with this processor. This chip has been designed by Qualcomm specifically for Windows 10 PCs.
Lenovo’s previous ARM notebook is a two-in-one detachable tablet/laptop hybrid. But the new Yoga C630 is more like a traditional laptop. However, it can also be flipped to a tablet mode. The Lenovo Yoga C630 is equipped with a 13.3-inch FHD IPS touchscreen, which also supports an optional stylus.
