In our Lenovo Yoga C740 review, we were impressed by its slim, versatile design and battery life, which endured 10 hours and 18 minutes in our test. We also liked its built-in security features and gave it 4 out of 5 stars for its solid overall performance. 

During real-world testing, the Yoga C740 hardware took just about everything we threw at it. It's great for YouTube streaming, document creating and editing, as well as other creative tasks. We edited short videos that rendered those smoothly within an acceptable time frame.

If you can afford to splurge, Best Buy also offers the Lenovo Yoga 9i (opens in new tab) 2-in-1 for $1,199.99 ($200 off). We reviewed the Lenovo Yoga 9i  and gave it an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars and the Editor's Choice award. We love its fast performance, colorful 14-inch 1080p display, and impressive battery life. 

And if you're on a smaller budget, the Editor's Choice Acer Chromebook Spin (opens in new tab) for $529 ($100 off) is a great value. This fast and powerful 2-in-1 features a gorgeous 13.5-inch display and oodles of battery life.
