Lenovo is finally shipping the first units of their latest Yoga line laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga.
Lenovo announced in January at the CES 2016 their line of Yoga laptops will be getting an OLED display, and they are finally shipping one of the first laptops to have the stunning screen with the X1 Yoga.
The X1 Yoga is getting the OLED screen technology the big-screen and best-looking TVs currently have. The laptop has a 14-inch touch display with a highest-end configuration of 2,560×1,440 with the OLED.
It has a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-6600U processor and comes with 16 GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.

They are also offering a less powerful version of the laptop with the same OLED screen, a Core i5 processor and half the RAM and SSD storage for $1,682.
The ThinkPad Yogas usually cost more than the consumer versions because of the retracting keyboard, built-in security features and better construction, and with the OLED screen, they will cost even more. At least until new technology is developed and the OLEDs become the LEDs of today.
