HP EliteBook Revolve 810 vs Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S;Which Should You Buy?

W.A.Khan,                                                                                                                                         27/7/2013,                                                                                                                                                                                                     HP EliteBook Revolve 810                                                                                                                                                                          The 11.6-inch Gorilla Glass 2-covered touch display feels great, looks sharp, and has great viewing angles, but it has only a 1,366x768-pixel resolution. That doesn't matter quite so much for most everyday tasks, but keep in mind that other 11-inch laptops like the Sony Vaio Pro 11 and ThinkPad Helix (and even the 10-inch Surface Pro) all have 1,920x1,080-pixel resolutions.A compact magnesium alloy body and sturdy design make the EliteBook Revolve 810 a great laptop to work on.
But, Disappointing battery life, high price, and slightly thicker body than more consumer-targeted systems.
The bottom line: HP’s EliteBook Revolve 810 is a good first step toward a very portable business laptop-tablet hybrid, but lack of a killer battery life hurts it.                                                                                                                                                                  Specifications

Light enough to travel easily, and so small it can tuck in any bag with ease.The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S is a great 11-inch ultraportable touch-screen laptop that also has a flip-around display for tablet and hybrid use.
But, Recent 11-inch laptops from Apple and Sony have raised the bar for ultraportables, especially when it comes to battery life. The Yoga 11S needs an upgrade to Intel's latest processors.
The bottom line: Like the larger 13-inch model, the 11-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S is a useful hybrid that doesn't forget it's a laptop first, but it's stuck with what feels like old hardware for now.                                                                                              Specifications
