Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e — 11.6" Rugged 2-in-1
A compact 11.6-inch convertible with a quad-core Intel Celeron N2940, 4GB of memory and a 128GB SSD, supplied without an operating system. Includes a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free Australian shipping.
Key Benefits
-
Built to be dropped — the 11e range was designed for schools — reinforced corners, a rubber bumper rail and a sealed keyboard, tested to survive treatment that would end an ordinary laptop.
-
360-degree convertible — the hinge folds fully back, so it works as a laptop, a tablet, or propped in tent mode for presenting and reading.
-
Touchscreen — direct interaction for browsing, reading and drawing — the natural way to use it in tablet mode.
-
Genuinely small and light — an 11.6-inch chassis that fits any bag and is easy for smaller hands to carry.
-
Solid-state storage — a 128GB SSD keeps boot and wake quick, with no moving parts to damage if it is dropped.
-
Free Australian shipping — tracked delivery anywhere in Australia at no extra cost, backed by a 12-month warranty.
Performance in Use
The Celeron N2940 is a quad-core low-power processor, and it is important to set expectations honestly: this is entry-level hardware. It handles web browsing, documents, video playback and educational software, but it is not built for multitasking across many demanding applications.
With 4GB of memory and a 128GB SSD, it is best paired with a lightweight operating system. A light Linux desktop or ChromeOS Flex will run considerably better on it than a full Windows install, and both remain supported with security updates — which matters on hardware this modest.
Where it genuinely excels is durability and form. The 11e was built for school environments, so it survives being carried loose in a bag, dropped from desk height and handled roughly. As a first laptop for a child, a knockabout travel machine, a kitchen or workshop browser, or a field device where damage is likely, it does a job that a thin premium ultrabook cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the battery replaced?
Batteries are tested, not automatically replaced. Grade A units hold 70% or more of original design capacity and Grade B units 50–70%. Every battery carries a 30-day warranty.
What operating system should I install?
A lightweight Linux desktop or ChromeOS Flex. Both run far better than Windows on 4GB of memory and a Celeron processor, and both remain fully supported with security updates.
How tough is it really?
The 11e was designed for school deployments — reinforced corners, a rubber bumper rail around the chassis and a sealed keyboard. It is built to survive being dropped from desk height and carried loose in a bag.
How does the 2-in-1 hinge work?
The screen folds back a full 360 degrees, so it can be used as a laptop, folded flat as a tablet, or propped in tent mode for presenting and reading.
Is 4GB of memory enough?
For a lightweight Linux desktop or ChromeOS Flex running a browser and documents, yes. For Windows and multiple heavy applications, no.
How is data from the previous owner handled?
Every device is wiped to a documented erasure standard before it is listed. Nothing from the prior owner remains.
What are the delivery options?
Free standard AU shipping with tracking is included.
