Everything Else Shootout
The Lenovo Yoga 900s sports a QHD 2560 x 1440 display, with the MacBook having a Retina 2304 x 1440 display. On top of the Yoga 900s display is support for 2048 levels of pressure for digitizer pens. This is perfect for artists who want a thin and light laptop on the go. MacBook doesn't support this.
As always in Lenovo's Yoga lineup, the device can flip from a laptop mode to stand mode to tent mode and then into tablet mode. You can enjoy your media in any type of form factor you'd like with the beautiful 360 degree watchband hinge. The MacBook doesn't have a 360 degree hinge, so don't try this with your MacBook.
Lenovo's Yoga 900s has a 720p HD webcam, which gives you great detail in photos, or video conferencing. The MacBook only has a 480p webcam, which is a joke in 2016, especially considering that my first smartphone had a 480p camera.
Lenovo has a 53wH battery and claims 12 hours of local video playback on the FHD model and 10.5 hours of local video playback on the QHD model. Apple has a 43wH battery and claims 10 hours of web browsing and 11 hours of iTunes playback.
On the Lenovo Yoga 900s, you're getting two USB-A ports, and one USB-C ports. On the MacBook, you're only getting one USB C port.

The Lenovo Yoga 900s goes for $1299, and the MacBook goes for $1599 for the same configuration.

Conclusion
In my opinion, the Yoga 900s has much more features for a lower price point. Of course, I haven't tried these myself, this is just from sources that tried it at CES. Unless you love pink, I don't see why you wouldn't choose the Yoga 900s over the MacBook. Click the logo below or click here to learn more!
