In many ways, the ThinkPad Yoga 260 is a refinement of the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, which it replaces. While keeping the ThinkPad Yoga 12's slim dimensions, Lenovo has upgraded the processor, graphics card, and battery, so the ThinkPad Yoga 260 performed very well on our benchmark tests, and outlasted most of the competition on our battery life test. Add to that 4G/LTE support and a lightweight carbon fiber design with an integrated stylus, and the ThinkPad Yoga 260 earns our Editors' Choice for business convertible-hybrid laptops.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 deftly combines the business features of Lenovo's ThinkPad line with the hinge and flexibility of its Yoga line. It has four screen modes: Laptop, Stand, Tablet, and Tent. Tablet mode has the keyboard folded all the way behind the screen, while Tent mode has the system propped on its edges, with the display facing out, and Stand mode has the keyboard face down, with the screen pointing out.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 is lightweight, but feels very durable. It's similar in overall design to the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, but has more angular edges. It measures 0.7 by 12.2 by 8.7 (HWD) and weighs in at 2.93 pounds. The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 is identical in size, but is a little heavier at 3.5 pounds, likely because the ThinkPad Yoga 260 is made of carbon fiber rather than aluminum and magnesium. The ThinkPad Yoga 260 is even lighter than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch (2015), which weighs 3.02 pounds.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 uses a latest-gen 2.8GHz Intel Core i5-6200U, and 8GB of RAM, which helped the system handily beat almost all of the competition in testing. On the PCMark 8 Work Conventional test, which measures productivity performance, the ThinkPad Yoga 260 scored 3,178, better than the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 (2,923) and the Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series (E7450) (2,681), both of which use fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processors. It also outscored the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (G4U67UT) (2,775), with a fourth-generation Core i5 chip, and the Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350) (2,426), which comes with an Intel Core M processor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 offers many improvements over the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, including a full-size HDMI port, 4G/LTE capability, better battery life, and improved performance with the sixth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, all for $100 less. It's a solidly built, lightweight system with good security features, a stylus, and a responsive touch screen. As such, it's our Editors' Choice for business-oriented convertible-hybrid laptops.
