Design
The ThinkPad Yoga 260 has the same tried-and-true aesthetic as most of Lenovo's other business laptops. The square, raven-black chassis gets small splashes of color from a flashing red light in the ThinkPad logos on the lid and deck, along with the red TrackPoint nub and buttons. You can also get the laptop with a silver-colored chassis.

A pair of powerful hinges allows the screen to bend back a full 360 degrees so you can use it in presentation (outward-facing), tent or tablet modes. The screen remained stable in the different modes, but it bounced a bit when I touched it in laptop mode; the screen on the Lenovo Yoga 900 was more stable. To help you grip the back of the ThinkPad Yoga 260 in tablet mode, it uses Lenovo's "lift-and-lock" keyboard, which makes the keys sink beneath the base and become unpressable when you rotate the screen back.

Display
The ThinkPad Yoga 260's 12.5-inch, 1920 x 1080 display delivers sharp images and strong viewing angles, but its color output seems lifeless. When I watched a 1080p trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, fine details like the lines in Ben Affleck's forehead were easy to make out, but the Man of Steel's blue suit appeared undersaturated. In the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, both Bruce Banner's skin and the Black Widow's red hair were much darker than on most other laptops I've tested.
