Yeah, it doesn't matter a ton, but there are differences. The thin "dock" (really a big plug on the side) has slightly different functionality than the push-down type. There are a variety of small compromises made to make it tablet-able. Lenovo laptops typically have the only built in keyboards worth using but the ones on the convertibles ones suck because of both having to make them thin, and the keys are pulled out of the way (lowered) on the yoga when it's flipped around in tablet mode. Battery life is much more limited in convertibles due to space and weight. Connectors are either missing or the mini versions due to thinness (my thinkpad yoga only has mini hdmi out for video, so I must carry my own cable because no one will have one). And something that probably only matters to me is that there are a variety of position sensors that will automatically change the screen orientation and lock the keyboard and touchpad in Windows that can cause issues in Linux when dual booting.
