What about the Thinkpad Yoga S3 14?is it worth?
Hi, i saw a local marketplace sells the yoga in topic, 160€. It's fully equipped and seems pretty good. What do you think about it? I have a t440p as main and a X260 for carrying around that i can replace easily with it.

Both of your current machines are better than Yoga S3 14. Better to save your money.

Re: What about the Thinkpad Yoga S3 14?is it worth?
I have a ThinkPad Yoga 260 (12.5" display), which is a bit newer than the ThinkPad Yoga s3 14.
If you intend to use the machine as a laptop, I agree with TPFanatic.
The real benefits of the ThinkPad Yoga series involve tablet use. With a stylus, you can fold it over into tablet mode and use it to annotate PDFs, write notes, etc. So you'd want a stylus. But at 14", this ThinkPad is probably a big large for comfortable use as a tablet.
The other possible issue is OS support. I don't know what kind of Linux driver support is available for the touch/pen interface, so you could be stuck with an old version of Windows if you want the tablet functionality. That would be worth investigating.

Thanks for your replies, my x260 require a few upgrades, like FHD display, nvme hack and the internal battery is missing. For these i will spend about 100-130€. Do you think it's better to save money for a more recent X-like (lightweight, fhd panel, 16gb and fast storage) or stay with x260 and slowly upgrade?

Sell them both to get something newer and better. If you don't need or want touch, don't get it.

My main concern is if i should upgrade my x260 or look for something more recent but already upgraded (at least the fhd panel).ZaZ wrote:Sell them both to get something newer and better. If you don't need or want touch, don't get it.
The T440p will remain until i have a new home with more space for a desktop pc (which now is in my office).
