Cool laptop

 

Light, fun and easy to use. Nice touches all around. Can compile, surf and play wow and rift

Bit pricey, track pad gets in the way of typing sometimes

Consumer review by:

Not bad

 

Have been installing big apps MS Office Pro, Project Pro, VISIO Pro etc and it is working well. Still takes some getting used to with Win8 but getting there. Not sure why newegg isn't showing the i7 version anymore...maybe price...

I like the build quality. Win8 is OK on touch screens and am getting used to it. I got the i7, 8GB, 256GB so am happy with speed, memory and storage

Too bad this doesn't have digitizer...would have gotten 5 stars easy. Not crazy about the keyboard being exposed when in full flip tablet mode

after 2 months - call it a 4.5

 

What I thought was a wifi switch is actually screen image rotation lock (as described in previous review). Lack of optical drive has not been a problem. The 128 GB SSD is OK for now but will become a limitation in a year or so. Will probably go to 256...

Beautiful display, thin, useful and used in all modes. Keyboard is beyond expectation for such a thin profile - excellent tactile response. When spouse took the the Yoga to a company sponsored Powerpoint class the Lenovo outpaced every other computer...

Biggest gripe is the 2.5 minute shutdown required for Wndows 8. My Acer Atom Netbook with Win 7 on Samsung SSD boots in 15 seconds and shuts down in 5 seconds with exactly same software installed. No help from Lenovo, Microsoft, or bulletin boards....

Lenovo Support Worse Than Dell

 

Lenovo tech support are worse than clowns. At least clowns make you laugh. First of all, they want $59 for recovery disks (class action lawsuit coming on that one). Secondly, their support group says they will call you back when they have no intention...

Lenovo (lack of ) Support

Great Experience

 

my use is a 70% laptop, 30% tablet so this is a perfect device. I hear whiners about the keyboard and the flexibility. I don't have any qualms, it just works. I slapped a 256 gig in the spare side. I got the i7 with 8/128. Runs cool, I also use for...

The only thing is some shortcuts, like insert. I wish Microsoft would include a first time video tutorial btw. I had to go to youtube to find one. I got mine on a deal, but you could consider this a little pricey, not apple pricey but up there, still...

Windows 8 - What have I done?

 

Very very nervous about the relatively high $ purchase. I have been a Microsoft supporter since 1982 but it seems MS has gone off the rails with Windows 8. The layered bipolar operating system looks like it would be great on a handheld but has...

Rating is for the computer, not the operating system. Good battery life, brilliant screen with wide viewing angle, great for movies or TV. Skype for Win8 was a strange surprise but works well

First computer ever that required reading the manual to turn on; still not pleased with also near microscopic Wifi switch - never sure if on or off. I am still in learning mode and trying not to prejudge maybe the biggest problem at this point is me....

not bad

 

Slim, light, almost perfect

have to dismantle to upgrade ram or ssd. keyboard it held in my tabs and double sided tape, not sure how long that will last ; no backlight on keyboard ; the keyboard is on the bottom when in table mode. not sure how the keys will hold up but they sell...

Very fine product

 

I got the Yoga to replace an Android 10" tablet. In tablet mode it does just that, with a much better screen to boot. The bonus is that I can run all my desktop apps and have the familiarity of Windows 8. I was choosing between Yoga and MS Surface Pro....

Display is very crisp and has great viewing angles. Not 1080? So what. It's so sweet that it leaves me wanting for nothing. Performance itself is typical for i5/graphics 4000 -- good. Keyboard has good feel, much better than I expected, and no...

I really have no cons to this point. It's not my hexa core desktop with 30" display. It's a laptop. A laptop with little to fault

No complaints

 

Verdict - I'm 100% happy with my purchase. Sure, this computer won't play Skyrim on Best settings, but hey, that's why I have an Alienware PC. For everything else, this ultrabook is a great tool with good battery life and great, great portability.

I ordered one of these laptops (from the manufacturer) back back on 12/19/12 and since then it's been my primary computing device ; Lightweight - The weight makes it easy to handle, which is something I was looking for while recovering from shoulder...

The Keyboard - Like I mentioned above, the keyboard's layout is not the best. Yes, the function key is in the correct place, but the narrow backspace, return, and right shift keys have caused me issues since I got this computer. The location of the...
