Customers appreciate the Yoga 900 13.3" 2-in-1 Touch-Screen Laptop for its lightweight design, fast performance, and long battery life. The touchscreen display and overall performance of the laptop are also highly regarded. On the other hand, some customers have expressed concerns about the screen size, fan noise, and issues with Windows 10 and sleep mode.
I purchased this laptop a little over three weeks ago and was ready to return it after the first week. I did all of the updates via Lenovo but it suffered from the graphics recovery error--the screen would flash and a dialog box appeared describing the error. Thankfully, Intel produced an updated driver that I downloaded last week. Since then, no problems. I tried the HP Spectre, but I didn't care for the all aluminum finish--too slippery. Also, it got much warmer with use than the Lenovo. I love the feel of the rubbery interior while typing, and the keyboard is very comfortable. The ability to fold it over and set it on the keyboard while watching movies or browsing the web is great. The display is amazing! Some have complained about the power block, but I like it. The power strips I use have the outlets perpendicular to the length of the strip--the block only takes up one space. In a worst case scenario you can use a short extension cord if it blocks your outlets. It's a lot nicer having the weight of the block at the outlet vs hanging in the middle of the cord. I travel for a living and the light weight-less than 3 pounds-- of this laptop is a welcome relief. I originally looked at the surface 4 because I needed the minimal weight, but the Yoga had better specs for less money. I very pleased with this purchase.

I had the Lenovo Yoga 900 for about 1 week now and here is my review. PROS 1) It's really fast - internet, network, processing, etc. 2) It has a sleek design and the best looking laptop in the market 3) There's not much bloatware compared to the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 5) Battery lasts me about 6~9 hours and I use the computer intensively -- youtube, music, facebook, typing, watching movie. CONS: 1) Lid issue. Google “Lenovo Yoga 900 Lid close sleep issue”. The laptop does not sleep or hibernate when the lid is closed. I double checked my settings and the laptop does not sleep/hibernate when the lid is closed. This issue is true for my Lenovo. 2) Sleep mode issue. When you put the computer on sleep mode, you will not be able to wake the computer up unless you do a hard reset. Google “lenovo Yoga 900 Sleep mode issue”. Hitting the power does not help. Only a hard reset will wake the computer. This issue is true for my Lenovo. 3) FAN ISSUE. Anytime you open an application or try opening any programs, the fan makes that noise and it’s loud. 4) Graphics, display and resolution issue. The recommended display is at 250%. Most website or apps that I use looks weird in this computer. The photos that looks ok in my other computer, looks weird in this Lenovo yoga 900. The resolution is not crisp at all. Due to the graphics card/resolution, all other display looks weird – like the facebook app, Microsoft word, photos, and some websites.

Great laptop! The only thing I don't like about this laptop is that the actual laptop does not match the picture used to advertise the laptop online. The actual laptop DOES NOT have 3 screens. I guess the laptop is depicted that way to highlight the fact that the screen is hinged, and it opens and closes. I guess that is a pretty important thing to highlight in the picture, considering all the laptops on the market with screens that are permanently attached at a fixed angle.
