Substantial high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run your games and photo- and video-editing applications, as well as multiple programs and browser tabs all at once.

I bought this laptop to replace my desktop for the time being. Generally, I like how the laptop performs. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
- It is light weight and easily transportable
- It is powerful enough to run my basic programs like MS office 2007, Adobe Acrobat.
- The design and feel is excellent. I love the thin profile and the tacky feel which makes me feel like I can have a good grip on the laptop when I move it around
- The display is clear with the high resolution
- Super fast boot up
Cons:
- The battery life is so so when you are heavily using the laptop (extra note: the laptop warns you not to keep it plugged in when the battery is at or above 70% while in use cause it will be a detriment to the battery)
- The yellow color is not quite right. I hear there is a fix but I haven't tried it yet
- The wifi drops randomly. I've tried workarounds and updates that have been recommended by Lenovo, but continue to face the same issue. Annoying, but I can actually live with it
- Audio is not the best. If you love great sound for music, movies, or games, you will probably be disappointed
Overall, I like the laptop so far. I also bought it for traveling so I can watch movies on the plane in tablet mode. I haven't tried that yet, so I don't know how it will be with keyboard exposed while in tablet mode. I also haven't added heavier programs that I use such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I cannot speak to how it will perform with those types of programs. I really like the light weight but still powerful enough to replace laptop for now.

It is nice supercharged slim laptop. Screen is great, sound is amazing, performance wise it is one of the best machines on the market.
Since it is refurbished, I worried about scratches, but when I got it, it looked as new.
BIOS was already up to date (no yellow color issue at all), i just do windows updates and removed some bloatware. I have no wifi or bluetooth issues, screen is gorgeous without any color distortion on any side for up to at least 170 viewing angle.
Power saving software from Lenovo is buggy and it dims screen way too much or keep battery from been charged 100% (battery should be re-calibrated all the time), but you need to use this soft if you want to get decent laptop life on battery.
For sure Microsoft should work more on icons and windows scalability on such a large screen + soft keyboard is not scalable enough, but it is Windows problem which has nothing to do with hardware.
laptop is nicely build and only complain about design is the wide black frame around the screen, in this case Lenovo could install 14" screen instead of 13", but it is all esthetical issue.
Yoga 2 pro is so convenient, so I bringing it everywhere with me. Yes, sometimes I am afraid to break it by accident, it is because I purchase 3 years extended warranty with accidental damage protection from Lenovo.
Summary: this is a great computer, but not for everybody. If you don't know much about computers, you will have a problem to configure it properly (Lenovo did not do it for you). To use this gorgeous screen you need to have sharp eyes as well and not too big fingers. And, sorry, Lenovo technical support team could be way more helpful and better organized. Hey, it is North America and we want to have a better support.
Otherwise great machine.
I am completely happy by my purchase.
Note to BestBuy: If you are buying a product from BestBuy online on address, which contains street number with letters as "12A Main street", BestBuy cancels your order automatically. I tried to purchase this computer 3 times before I realized why it is happening to me.

With an i7 processor, a 13" touch screen, and weighing only about 3 lbs, this ultrabook is the best of all worlds. The Lenovo Yoga's unique design is very handy. Some people say they only ever use it in laptop mode, but I use it in tablet mode when I'm exercising on my recumbent bike, in tent mode when I'm watching a Netflix movie with a friend, and in laptop mode when I'm working. Windows 8 took some getting use to, but now I like it better. It connects instantly with our projector at work. Everything just works right, the first time. Awesome product!

Best computer purchase I've made in several years. I have a small business which i purchase computers for our staff for travel and for our office. So we are very dependent on our computers for our info management. This laptop has proven flexible for presentations, working in various positions, sitting standing, in the airport without support, anywhere it has been great. Performance has been excellent. We work with databases, online databases, spreadsheets, and various industry specific data management systems. Some are large files, computer handles working in several applications seemlessly moving from file to file, from application to application without bogging down awaiting data to down load. Great computer.

I have been looking for a thin, but powerful laptop. The Yoga 2 Pro met 95% of what I wanted in a laptop for programming. Its really thin and has a powerful processor that last more than 5 hours of constant coding. The display is amazing and some of the features of Lenovo (e.g. face recogintion to unlock the screen) are very cool.
I wont give it a five stars, because I would have like a 512GB SSD and 16GB memory. If in the future there is Yoga 3 Pro with these enhancements and a Bamboo pen... I'll be upgrading again for sure.

The laptop had a nice feel to it and performed well most of the time, But there seemed to e a problem with the video. I first thought it was one of the games I was playing but I started to notice the graphics to hang for a few seconds even when I was just on the desktop. I ended up returning it.
A:AnswerThank you for your question regarding the Yoga 2 Pro, 13" The Yoga 2 Pro DOES come with a backlog keyboard. To access this function you will need to select Fn + the space bar at the same time. This will turn the function on and off. Thank you! Please let Lenovo know if you have any additional questions.
A:AnswerWe're an authorized service provider for most brands we carry, including Lenovo, so you can generally bring devices to your local Best Buy store for service and support. The warranty provided with refurbished items sometimes requires that repairs be sought through a specific party though, and this information would be outlined in the included owner's documentation.
A:AnswerThis is perfectly feasible with almost any laptop, and it is no less true for this machine. Your best bet would be to get some sort of unified receiver (like from Logitech) and then get whichever wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse you prefer. The laptop also has Bluetooth, which is another option if you can find Bluetooth keyboards or mouse.
As for the display, there is a display port on the left side of the machine (not sure if it is mini or micro HDMI) that can be used to output the display to basically any TV or monitor with HDMI support. Lastly you can just plug in any speakers or headphones to the jack on the right.
A:AnswerThe refurbished machine I purchased recently came like-new out of the refurb packaging. No signs of damage, cosmetic or otherwise. You would never know it wasn't brand new.
A:AnswerYes, 3200 x 1800 is considered QHD+, can display 4K videos in almost full detail. This is the highest resolution you can find on a laptop today.
A:AnswerThis Ultrabook is coming directly from the Lenovo factory. There is no way to see that it is refurbished (apart an additional sticker stuck on the back) and the box that is not the "original one" but a brown Lenovo one.
You get the same 1 year warranty and you can buy the same additional warranties available for the "non Refurbished" version.
