Lenovo - Yoga 2 2-in-1 11.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Silver

I tried the Pentium version of this in the store and it seemed a bit laggy. The core I3 performs better and, if you're wondering, you can swap out the HD for an SSD. I installed a 256 GB Samsung EVO with no issues. Like some other reviewers, I'm not a fan of the Lenovo pre-installed applications so I just removed them and I'm still working out how to maximize the battery life. I really like how light and portable it is. For our purposes,(music streaming, kitchen recipe viewing) it's a good machine.

I wanted a travel computer that was light weight and wouldn't break the bank since I only travel 3-4 times a year. Pros: Light weight with ability to adjust the position so you can get comfortable in less than ideal working conditions. The keyboard is pretty good - I don't use the touch screen one normally. Cons: 3-4 hour battery life even if it is sitting with the cover closed. It gets hotter than I would like - sometimes it is quite hot even if it hasn't been used for several hours. Lots of stuff from Levano on it that becomes the default for doing things like minor editing of a picture. I've had a longer learning curve with it.

Overall, this is a decent little computer. I love the ease of portability. I even got used to Windows 8.1! Love the touch screen, too. Screen is small, but that's okay with me. I wish it were a bit faster. And I have trouble with the mouse having a mind of it's own. At random times it decides to chase some cheese, visible only to it, all over the screen. I have to reboot a few times to get it under control.

I bought this so I would have a light weight laptop to take to work and school. This fits the bill. It is light weight and a good size. The keyboard "extra" buttons like volume and mute work. The touch screen is responsive. The speakers sound good when watching movies. Battery life is 4-5 hours but I am usually near a plug so not a big deal. It easily finds wi-fi signals and has no problem connecting.

I got this laptop to replace one that was three years old, and so clearly there were a lot of differences. The processor is a bit slow and occasionally the screen will just go dark for no reason though it still seems to respond to key touches. It's not perfect, but I got it open box from Best Buy so it was only 369, so it really couldn't be beat. I don't think it'll last a terribly long time and the battery life is short, but over all I'm pretty happy with the purchase! It serves student needs just fine.

I bought this computer my last weekend before school started because it was among a few that were within my price range. At first I was thinking it may be too small to use but it is portable enough for me to carry all day so it is an even trade in my book. I'm not particularly a fan of windows 8 so I installed "classic shell" and it gave back the standard start menu that I am accustomed. Overall it was a great purchase.

This was a business purchase and I was originally looking at getting a Microsoft Surface. I feel the Yoga includes all the pros of a Surface and is slightly more versatile and is about $400 cheaper once you add the keyboard to the Surface. The battery life is the one thing I would like to see improvement on but with such a compact device it isn't surprising that they cannot include an over sized battery.

I have had this notebook 3 weeks now and so far I love it. I was looking for something smaller, light weight and versatile for home and business. This laptop has allowed me to do everything I need to do for home and work and gives me the flexibility of a traditional laptop with all the conveniences of a touchscreen tablet.
