   The Lenovo ThinPad Yoga 260’s 12.5 inch 1920 x 1080 gives out clear images and good viewing angles. My only concern is that Lenovo must improve on it’s color output.. It only produces 68.5 percent sRGB gamut while the category average is at 82.5 percent. Though it is not vivid , it still  has a score of 328 nits of brightness and this is above the category average of 308 7 nits.

Windows 10 has a built in handwriting keyboard that you can use. The writing area is located at the base of the screen and this gives you an advantage. Lenovo has been known to have good keyboards. The Lenovo ThinPad Yoga 260 keyboard gives you 2 millimeters of travel.  By this standard you are going to commit very few mistakes because you are not bottoming out. It’s 2.2 inch buttonless touchpad will give you a pleasant and precise navigation experience. This is because the matte texture has very good traction.

You can use the stick to navigate, accentuate text and draw boxes more accurately than using the touchpad. It comes with a lot of ports.
