Yesterday, Lenovo confirmed that Linux cannot be installed on the machine because there are no OS-specific drivers for the device’s proprietary RAID configuration.

While Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 family of announcements was full of sexy looking hardware that is sure to impress both business customers and discerning general consumers. However, Lenovo also has to cater to its more mainstream business customers, and as such, the company has also updated the rest of its more plebian ThinkPad models for 2016.

Lenovo is showing its flexibility as the world’s largest PC OEM with the release of two new products under its YOGA product family. The YOGA 900 convertible laptop and YOGA Home 900 all-in-one PC both run Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system and keep portability in mind. The YOGA 900 is being touted as the world’s thinnest Core i-series convertible, measuring in at just 14.9mm thick. At the center of the 2.9-pound YOGA 900 is a 13.3-inch QHD+ (3200x1800) IPS display, which can be repositioned into laptop, stand, tent, and tablet modes. The display is attached to the base of the machine using Lenovo’s jewel-like watchband hinge, which not only looks good, but also allows for smooth transitions...
