the Novo spent years fine-tuning its premium two-in-one formula and it really shows in the yoga C 930 not to be confused with the dual screen somewhat experimental yoga book C 930 this is a straightforward convertible laptop like last year's yoga 920 that it replaces the C 930 isn't drastically different but a few design changes helped push it ahead of that model the 920 s watch band style 360 degree hinge is replaced with a new hinge that's also a speaker sound bar those speakers combined with two downward firing speakers up front and Dolby Atmos software for some of the best audio you'll get from a laptop this thin and because they're in the hinge you get clear audio no matter what position the screen is in the C 930 also comes with an active pen that stores and charges in a garage at the back edge of the laptop just pop it out and start writing or drawing on the screen it's small but unless you're using it for long periods of time it works well and because of the garage it's always there when you need it one last little extra feature is a privacy shutter to block the built-in webcam it's barely visible but there's a little slider that with a simple flick moves the shutter into place the rest of the C 930 doesn't stray from what made the 920 excellent like it's comfortable backlit keyboard and responsive precision touchpad a windows hello fingerprint reader and performance that's on target for its class along with more than 12 hours of battery life in our tests plus it has the look and feel of a premium laptop with a metal body and a screen with almost no bezel so you get a bigger screen in a smaller body if you need things like more connection options or discreet graphics or it's near $1,200 starting price pushes it beyond your budget it's not for you but at the moment if you're looking for a premium ultra portable two-in-one uc9 30s about as good as it gets you
