Win 10 is the most prefferred out of all the Windows releases so far. It includes some decent, familiar and new user-friendly features, such as the Win 7 start screen, Microsoft Edge browser and Cortana Personal Assistant. This is not designed as a gaming machine and does not include a dedicated graphics card but a built-in Intel HD 620 GPU with enough power to handle the daily multimedia tasks efficiently along with some gaming.

13.9-inch Full HD 10-point multitouch screen has the 1920×1080 pixel resolution and 16:9 IPS (In Plane Switching) panel with up to 178-degree viewing angles.

It includes a decent quality high definition webcam for your casual Skype chats or work conferencing.

The new Kaby Lake certainly isn’t just a simple rebranding of the previous Sky Lake processors. Intel i7-7500U CPU offers quite a bit of power, performance and higher frequencies (up to 25% enhancement in efficiency), while maintaining lower power usage. So you will be enjoying the longer battery life on the Yoga 910, thanks to the impressive efficiency achieved by the Kaby Lake processor.

The 4-cell, 78 WHr lithium ion battery will let you be out and about and away from power outlets all day long. It offers around 8 hours of battery life on average use in practice.
