Acer Aspire One AO721 Battery

If you have specific needs (2lbs weight, 12â€ screen, gaming performance) there may be alternative/specialized options, but you will pay it in size, weight, comfort and productivity.
At the moment, the Lenovo Yoga 900 is the easy 13.3â€ Windows laptop choice in the $1200 range. It sets the bar higher, not only in terms of absolute features and performance but especially in terms of "quality for the priceâ€ which is one of the most important feature of all.
Crafting the perfect lap-friendly computing companion is a delicate balance between weight and performance. Add powerful processors, expect hefty returns. If lightweight is what you want, packing in the best processors, along with cooling systems, can be a challenge. For the new Yoga 900 Series, Lenovo decided to rethink the formula.

With last yearâ€™s Yoga Pro 3, Lenovo went thin â€” way thin. Like half-an-inch thin. But with that focus on shaving off every millimetre possible, some sacrifices crept in. One being the low-powered Core M processor, which brings better battery life (theoretically) and a fanless design, but donâ€™t expect to be play any gigahertz-hungry games or just being a general power user without a few performance hiccups.

As you can see from the video above, the laptop is beautiful. Upon taking it out of the box, I was immediately impressed by the design. The aluminum body feels extremely premium, which should make you feel confident about your purchase. It is obvious that much care went into the design; I love the many striking angles. It is clearly a gaming machine in its design, but not overly flashy like other game-focused laptops. It is elegant and mature, while also looking bad-ass.

Above the keyboard is branding that had me very excited -- Onkyo. Yes, the speakers are made by the famed audio hardware manufacturer. Guess what? They sound brilliant. Whether gaming, listening to music, or watching movies, audio is loud and crisp. While the bass is a bit lacking, it is still one of the most satisfying audio experiences I've had on a laptop. The speakers are even angled towards the user for optimal positioning.

With the new 13.3-inch Yoga 900 â€” a different name, yes, but a true successor to the Yoga 3 Pro â€” youâ€™re getting the best Intel processor, namely a Core i7 Skylake processor, along with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM and a 256 or 512 solid-state drive respectively. But with that, comes a little more bulk. Not much mind you, but some.

The Yoga 900 packs on about 0.2 extra pounds but only adds 1.5 millimetres, but even when comparing side-by-side, the two laptops still look and feel remarkably similar. Even with the added lbs, the Yoga 900 is currently the thinnest Skylake convertible laptop out there, and with an increased 66Wh battery (up from 44Wh), youâ€™ll hopefully get at least more than 5 hours of real-world use. Lenovoâ€™s currently guessing up to 8 hours.

But adding extra weight can be particularly risky, especially when a laptop is designed to be an all-in-one with a built-in 360-degree hinge. To be honest, a tablet that weights 2.8 pounds sounds like a chiropractic nightmare to me, which was already a problem with the lighter Yoga 3 Pro. I canâ€™t see the 900 series being much better.

Lenovo also says they have improved on the Yogaâ€™s (arguably) stylish watchband hinge, adding more durability so when using the touchscreen in laptop mode, the screen doesnâ€™t give under the pressure of your finger. However, when comparing this feature, it wasnâ€™t apparent anything was too incredibly different.

The keyboard gets a slight makeover by adding an extra row, freeing the multimedia keys that were previously embedded in the keyboard on the Yoga 3 Pro. But the keys themselves keep the scissor-hinge design and pretty minimal key travel, which could be a plus or minus depending on your personal typing preference. Oh, and the Yoga family will also be joining the USB Type-C party, but its charger remains the fantastically convenient USB charger, which gives you another USB 3.0 port (when you donâ€™t need the juice.)

And finally, a few things stay the same. For example, the display is still the same 3200Ã—1800 beast, which can handle all your QHD+ content. Hopefully, Lenovoâ€™s paid a little more attention this time around to viewing angles and light leakage problems we saw last year.

IF YOU WERE lucky enough to snag a new deviceâ€”a phone, a laptop, a TV, a tablet, whateverâ€”the fun doesnâ€™t stop there. Now you get to trick it out. Collected below are some of our favorite accessories for your personal electronics. Things we love, that we ourselves own and endorse. You canâ€™t go wrong with any of this stuff.

You canâ€™t have enough of these bad boys. They are the bobby pins of the electronics world: always getting shoved into couch cushions and buried at the bottoms of backpacks. Plan on losing at least a couple a year, maybe breaking one at some point, who knows?

See how pretty your new device is? Well itâ€™s never going to look that way again. But you can keep it relatively close by wrapping it in protective gear. Keep the glass display scratch-free with a Tech Armor Screen Protector or a NuShield Screen Protector. The BodyGuardz Pure Screenguardz are made of glass, and feel really nice under the fingertip. For full-phone protection, itâ€™s tough to find something more rugged than an OtterBox Case with a built-in screen protector. Another great option is a LifeProof FRE Cases, which also has a built-in screen shield.

Lenses for Your Phone Camera
Sure, your new phoneâ€™s camera is pretty damn goodâ€”but what if it could be pretty damn great? Accessory lenses will take your Insta potential to a whole new category of â¤ï¸s. The new Photojojo Iris Lens Series is awesome, especially the way it lashes onto your phone. Aukeyâ€™s 3-in-1 clip-on lens kit is inexpensive ($16) and works with multiple models of phone. If you want to step up and take really amazing pictures, get a really amazing lens system like one of the options from Moment.

Cheap Earbuds
Earbuds! You will lose these. You will lose so many of these itâ€™s stupid. Buried in bags, pockets, drawersâ€”some will break, some will tangle to the point of hopelessness. So pick up a few cheapies to keep lying around for quick runs, short flights, whatever. Our current favorite is the Mrice E300s, which gives you really great sound for around $20. Another good option around $20 are the Brainwavez Delta earbuds. For around $12, you can get a pair of Panasonic RPTCM125Ks (and how about that name huh?). Chinese phone-maker Xiaomi also has some brand new $20 headphones that look and sound great.
