Customers appreciate the Yoga 3 Pro's lightweight design, versatile functionality, and responsive speed. Many users enjoy the convenience of the touchscreen feature. However, some users have concerns about the limited battery life.
I bought the Lenova Yoga 3 Pro on the recommendation of my IT rep - I travel a lot on business and my iPad just isn't a replacement for a laptop. This guy does the trick! Very light weight and portable; the ability to fold the keyboard back and use it as a tablet let's me have the full function of a laptop in the efficiency and convenience of a tablet. I carry a portable hotspot with me so I never have to worry about WiFi. As a bonus on a recent business trip, I was able to charge my phone while taking notes at a conference.... Love this laptop!

I love the Yoga 3. I use it more as a laptop than a tablet but both are equally fun.

This is a great overall machine, with just a few quibbles. Design: You've no doubt already seen the gorgeous design, with the brushed aluminum case, fully flexible display, and jewel-like hinge. It is difficult to imagine how thin it is - it makes a MacBook Air look like it needs Weight Watchers. If you haven't see it in person, you should try. The looks alone may be enough for you to make a decision, and few would fault you for it. Speed: No, it's not as fast as my similarly-priced Dell. But to see the difference I had to overload both machines to the point of absurdity. If you are a gamer, look elsewhere. If you are a power user who needs 40 browser tabs, 5 PowerPoint decks, streaming video, and a library of Excel workbooks all active at once, then you'll want to look away from the Core M, and particularly this detuned (for heat reduction) implementation. If you're one of the rest of us, performance is excellent. Ergonomics: The keyboard is nice, but not as nice as a full-depth Lenovo. The problem is the limited space for key travel makes it difficult to know if you've hit the keys hard enough. The space key seems particularly touchy, requiring a firm tap with the thumb. The keys can be back-lit, which means you can find what you need even on the red-eye flight. The track pad is good as Windows track pads go, but an eraser-head would be a nice option. The machine runs cool. thanks in part to the very small and nearly silent fan. Display: Wow. I'm not sure what else to say except, wow again. Battery life: A disappointment. I've been getting about six hours. This is more than enough for a cross-country flight, but way below the MacBook's 16 hours. The battery life indicator is a bit flaky, sometimes showing percentage, sometimes remaining time, and occasionally jumping from 3 hours up to 5, or the other way around. Connectivity: The WiFi radio is very sensitive to position. The slightest movement can change the signal strength from one wave to three (out of four), and if it drops to zero you may need to run the troubleshooter to reset the adapter, as it does not recover well. It also shows low connectivity in locations where my other systems show a moderately strong signal. Plenty of USB ports, etc., but the mini-HDMI port means you'll need to carry a dongle, and the creative USB charger means you won't be slapping a new tip on that universal travel charger you bought. OS: It comes with the abomination to nature and technology called Windows 8.1. Upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as you unwrap it. It will greatly reduce your frustration level and change your experience completely. Summary: If you can live with the relatively minor shortcomings, this is an amazing machine.
