Lenovo Yoga C630A brilliant Windows on Snapdragon laptopCPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 | Graphics: Qualcomm Adreno 630 GPU | RAM: 8GB |
Screen: 13.3-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixels | Storage: 256GB SSD4G connectivityHuge battery lifeWindows 10 S mode uselessLimited app
compatibilityThe Lenovo Yoga C630 is hands-down the best Snapdragon-powered laptop ever made
Unlike other Windows laptops that run on Intel or AMD hardware, the Lenovo Yoga C630 runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 850 SoC
This is usually found in flagship smartphones, and it allows the Lenovo Yoga C630 to have some of the best smartphone features – but in a
laptop.So, you get instant-on startup times and 4G connectivity
This makes it one of the best business laptops because it means you don't have to rely on Wi-Fi
You can be out almost anywhere, and as long as you have a 4G SIM installed, you can access the internet quickly and securely
The Lenovo Yoga C630 is also always connected, which means even when it is not being used, it's still connected to the internet
So, when you next turn it on, all your emails, messages and notifications will be there waiting for you.Best of all, it's got a phenomenal
battery life of almost 24 hours
That means it can go several work days on a single charge
The only problem is that because it doesn't run on traditional hardware, not all applications are compatible
Hopefully that will change in the future, but if your business relies on a certain program, make sure it runs on Snapdragon or ARM hardware
before you buy.6

of the best business laptops in the world as well, thanks to its thin and light design, improved hardware for better performance (including
8th-generation processors, more RAM and faster SSDs) and affordable price
