IFA 2018: Lenovo Yoga C930 launched with rotating speaker and 8th gen Intel Core CPU

At IFA 2018, Lenovo is introducing the new Yoga C930 as the successor to last year’s Yoga 920 convertible. With the Yoga C930, Lenovo says it has re-engineered the convertible design to meet the demands of modern day consumers.

Lenovo pioneered the 360-degree convertible design around six years ago and since then, the innovation has been centered around hinge design. While Microsoft’s Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge and Lenovo’s Watchband hinge are the most unique in the segment, the Chinese company is dropping the watchband hinge design with the launch of Yoga C930 this year. The watchband hinge is replaced by a rotating metallic hinge that houses a speaker.

Lenovo is calling this design as the rotational speaker. The speaker houses two dynamic drivers and uses Dolby Atmos for a more immersive audio experience. This design allows the laptop to project sound equally whether the Yoga C930 is in laptop mode, tablet mode or tent mode. The Yoga C930 drops the unique and eye-catching hinge design for a more practical one that consumers will appreciate over time.
