The L390 Yoga, at $230 more than the L390, has a couple extra features. There is an Active Pen with a garaged compartment on the L390 Yoga to keep it within easy reach and in an unobstructed view. There is also a world-facing camera on the Yoga to take photos.
Lenovo says these are the first ThinkPad laptops to equip 8th Gen Intel Core Whiskey Lake processors. However, it looks like these laptops can be equipped with Celeron, i3, vPro i5, and i7 processors so the end price of your build may change depending on which you choose.
