Whats Included

Lenovo Yoga 900S-12ISK 80ML; 4-cell battery; Power adapter

Q: Can anyone tell me what it is like typing with the right shift key both in the wrong place and half the normal size? I do a ton of typing and don't want to have to stop and hunt and peck at that shift key all the time. Can someone let me know?

A: There is a free software APP that might be able to help with this issue. It is called "KeyTweak". It will allow you to switch the functions of specific keys on your keyboard. So you would be able to switch the function of the right shift key with the key you hit when reaching for the right shift key. Just Google search "KeyTweak", you will find several articles about the software and what it does. You will also find the download location for this free software APP. As always, create a restore point on your system before you make any changes.

Q: Where can I buy the charger for the Lenovo - Yoga 900s-12isk? I tried going to best buy stores, but they appear to be sold out or not in stock.

A: undefined

Q: Per the question above--what is ETA on availability for this model number (both store and on-line)?

A: This system is currently being shipped to Best Buy distribution centers. Check with your local store for availability to order from the store. They may be able to order against their allotments while it is still showing as unavailable to order online.

Q: Just want to know when this model and color be available. Currently, it is available neither in stores nor online. Thank you.

A: undefined

Q: Can you use a portable stylus with this model?

A: The 900s has active pen support, and Lenovo has designed the GX80K32882 pen for this model.

Q: Linux is a superior OS. (I use Linux Mint). However, I understand that Lenovo and Microsoft have made BIOS modifications to lock out Linux. I'll never consider Lenovo until this collusion is reversed.

A: To improve system performance, Lenovo is leading an industry trend of adopting RAID on the SSDs in certain product configurations. Lenovo does not intentionally block customers using other operating systems on its devices and is fully committed to providing Linux certifications and installation guidance on a wide range of products - https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd031426.

The 900S is a gem
Absolutely love this notebook. It's fast, completely quiet, compact, has very long battery life, and most importantly for me - has a touch screen with active digitizer (that is, it provides palm rejection while using the stylus). If one sets the expectations right - that it's Core M and not meant for professional graphic/video - then it really is a "gets almost everything right" rather than "tries to be everything but is none" notebook. The only complain I have is with the small right-Shift key - one gets used to it after a while but it still makes little sense to me to reserve space for full size arrows rather than properly sized Shift key.

Just a couple design issues
I liked the 900s - a lot - so much that I still think about it and sometimes regret having returned it. But now I've spoiled the review. There is again so much I liked, namely, the fact that 12 inches is the perfect size for an ultra portable laptop, especially the ultra-slim, featherweight chassis of the 900s. I had an 11-incher for a while that I loved - but as a tablet, not a laptop (even though it actually was a laptop). And the 13-inch laptop I did end up with (Samsung Notebook 9 spin) is not much bigger, but does not satisfy my need for total sleekness like the Lenovo. The Yoga 900s is just so thin, so lightweight, and just large enough to be a) considered a real laptop and b) house a screen large enough to be completely productive or fully entertaining as needed. The screen has not only good viewing area, but a realistic and natural color gamut (the Samsung's is a little too vivid, though maybe a little more exciting and pleasing). And the battery was incredible - so good I realized other machines have given me a dead battery anxiety I would now have to cure (and which the Samsung has now rebirthed because of its terrible life). I had the champagne variant, which I was worried about since I ordered online without actually seeing the exact color or texture. However, it was muted and classy enough to be enjoyed and displayed to the world, while having just enough panache and intrigue to be a little more interesting for those who want to show some personality. (I speak as a hetero male who would have ordered the vivid orange from the full-size 900 if they had offered it on the S.) I really can't emphasize enough how successfully Lenovo nailed the champagne color - just perfect. Finally, again related to the color, the champagne keys matched the outer shell perfectly, and did not show grease or dirt at all (grease transfers from my fingers to the Samsung keyboard and touchpad in the worst, shiniest way). I had just a few reservations which, given the high price of the 900s, I decided not to accept. Peripheral connectivity - I really wanted to get into the USB-C generation (if not Thunderbolt II), but I needed at least one more USB port that was not already being used for power and either a full or micro-SD slot. They keyboard was comfortable to use - it's soft resistance making up for the shallow key travel - but the Ctrl button for the right pinky was excruciating to reach - I felt my pinky cramp up every time I typed so much as a brief email. Finally, and this is a Lenovo thing, not being able to give the mouse touchpad a two-finger touch to perform a right-click. Actually having to click the pad as a mechanical button (with two fingers) was fine for most uses, but many times I need to maintain absolute mouse silence or plain just WANT to do the silent/quick two-finger touch WITHOUT pushing the entire pad. By now I have revealed that I am OCD, I fully admit it. But pretty much every laptop from every other major manufacturer will let you execute a right-click either way; I'm not sure why Lenovo doesn't follow suit. I would also complain, if I hadn't ended up in the exact same situation (actually, the way Samsung does shortcut keys, especially the Fn functions, is even worse than Lenovo!), about the lack of media keys. Play/pause is a critical key for any consumer device, and even enterprise machines have them, if not also the track forward and track backward. Why not Lenovo (or Samsung)? Finally, I found the m7 chip to lag a little and stutter on simple things like scrolling webpages - however, I never had that problem on my 11-incher with m5 chip, so in fact I don't think it was the hardware and believe that some firmware or driver updates would have resolved that soon enough, so I am going to keep this particular complaint in my back pocket. If any single one of these reservations had not been, I would absolutely have kept the 900s, especially in champagne, and been happier with that machine than the one I did keep. But it's expensive, and I needed it to have just one fewer flaw for my hard-earned money. If you or your friend decides my above reservations are livable (or your pinky does not cramp trying to hit the right-hand Ctrl), and you think you want to spend so much on such an incredibly attractive and sophisticated little machine, then do it - I will not only be happy for you, I will actually be envious of your gorgeous, modern device.

Thin, light, robust & great battery life!
Preface:I already own a rather expensive quad core laptop with with all the bells and whistles which only achieve 5-6 hours of battery, but its mainly for home use anyway. I needed something thin & light that could be used in tablet mode (most of the time) almost anywhere for what on certain days could be extended periods of time. Thus stellar battery life was one of my requirements. The 900S nailed it for me. I don't photoshop or play games on this machine for that is not my intended use. But for all my needs (internet surfing, emails, movies, reading- I can hold it like a book, and other light to medium activities) this fills the bill. Wifi, HDMI out, bluetooth work well and although there can definitely be a lot of glare (one of it's few weaknesses) present depending on the lighting and the viewing angle this QHD screen is absolutely gorgeous! I routinely achieve 3 to 5 hours of battery life at 60 to 70 percent brightness with 50 to 60 percent battery left at the end of the day. I sometimes won't charge it for days. The core m7 (= appr. I5 range), 256GB of space and 8 gigs of ram are the prefect combination for me. I purchased mine (open box) for appr. 200.00 less so keep an eye out for those open boxes as this definitely sweetened the deal for me. I've owned it for 30 days so I'm still within my return date, but I'm keeping it! Also around early November Lenovo added support for Linux through a bios update so you can load Linux instead of windows if you're into that. Disadvantages: Other than the occasional screen glare other issues (non of which are deal breakers for me) include the small size right shiftkey, no sd card support, key travel's a little shallow, no lock support and can be a struggle to open without using your nails. Advantages: (other than what's already mentioned), You can use the charging port as a regular USB 2.0 (plus you have the USB C on that same side while a USB 3.0 resides on the other side), touch screen is accurate & responsive while the palmrest feels soft and & comfortable (almost like leather), the Lenovo Active Capacitive Pen GX80K32882 (2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity) works great (purchased for 33 bucks on Amazon), the 360 degree hinge is nice and sturdy, incorporates a fanless design so no noise (albeit it doe get a little warm at times), it has a 2 level backlit key board, it's a 1/2 inch thin and only weighs 2 pounds! Side Note: My son and I both received Surface pros 4s last Christmas and while he loves his Surface Pro for school it was definitely overkill for my needs. My daughter now owns what was once mine and I have this sweet piece of tech. I couldn't be happier.
