Lenovo - Yoga 910 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Dark Grey

I bought this laptop as a replacement for the yoga 710 that had several problems (as listed in its reviews). This is the new 910 with a significantly better battery life, more reliable mouse, stable screen, and overall feels way better than the 710 which honestly felt cheap. Here are things to consider. 1 - MINIMAL BEZEL is amazing, but I did prefer the screen set up of the 710 - the screen comes incredibly close to the top part of the lid and I am very careful when opening the lid. 2 - only two usb-c and one usb 3.0 port. I have not run into any issues yet with the minimal number of ports. 3 - for all the complaints about the fingerprint reader, it works 90% of the time for me. 4 - the keyboard response, in my opinion, is better than the 710. very easy and smooth typing (and I write papers everyday). 5 - the mouse is 1000 times better than the 710 or previous models. previous yogas had major issues (from what I've read and tried in store) with the trackpad, such as, the left click not working and finger swipes not responding. No problems with the new 910 so far. However, beware, it is very slick and slippery, I would go almost as far as saying there is almost no grip on the trackpad. 6 - speaking of the screen, the hinges are by far the best in the market. Incredibly stable and the screen does not shake AT ALL when typing. This is definitely something you should consider when looking at other laptops. 7 - 14 inches in a 13 inch body, lots of screen space (really makes a difference). 8 - for all the complaints about fan noise, you can minimize it by going into the bios and changing the performance to "quite mode" (google for directions). so far I have not see any difference in performance or speed, and it does reduce the fan noise significantly. I do not game or do any advanced video editing, so I cannot speak for that, but for everyday work, online browsing, and watching videos in hd, no problems with the fan noise. 9 - the 910 is definitely an improvement in quality. the body feels much stronger but lighter than other models. 10 - as written in previous 910 model reviews, the camera is definitely in a weird position (but I rarely use it so I don't care). 11 - the box comes with a regular usb-c charger AND an extension cord. I can definitely see myself using this computer for the next 3-5 years.

Like many fellow reviewers here I was contemplating between the Lenovo Yoga 910 & the HP Spectre x360. The x360 was regarded by many as being more future proof due to the dual thunderbolt ports, better audio, better keyboard, etc. but I ultimately went with the Yoga 910 due to the bigger screen, thin bezels & better design overall. I was definitely skeptical of the Yoga 910's watchband hinge as it doesn't look like it'll hold up to the test of time, but upon trying it out in store, this is without a doubt one of the most sturdy & durable hinges in its class. It definitely catches the eye & is nice to have. I'm not a big fan of 2 in 1's due to the lack of justification of the use case for a laptop this size. If I wanted to use a tablet, I'd use a dedicated tablet & not having to carry heavy 14 inch tablet while getting fingerprints all over my screen, which I have to clean up when I go back to laptop mode. I went with the 256GB model & was definitely skeptical of the available space on the SSD but it turned out to be highly doable, but definitely requires great discipline in managing the space you're given. I'm a fairly general user, using this machine for emails, video streaming, some light gaming(ex. LOL, Crossfire, etc.) & it definitely holds up without dropping frames, but I'm sure if you're a hardcore gamer, you'd be better off with a dedicated GPU, but this combination of RAM & processing power has definitely exceeded my requirements for a everyday laptop. Last but not least, that screen....You definitely have to check out the beautiful screen in-store, as it's got great color reproduction, image quality is top notch, saturation is on point & is one of the best parts about using this laptop. 1080p is more than enough for the average user unless you're a graphic designer of course, but you won't be able to make out the pixels if you don't places your eyes right over the screen. Overall, I'm glad I chose the Yoga 910 over the HP, & would recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a great, everyday use, all-arounder that performs exceptionally well & sometimes more.

This laptop is perfect. As a college student I was looking for something with battery life and I found it. I will leave it on all day , close it carry it around, use it for running programs like filezilla, notepad, atom, eclipse, and browsing the web and it will last me a solid 10 hours! No joke. When watching videos or Netflix it tends to not last as long but still impressive. It's so thin and lightweight , I am almost afraid if I pick it up with one hand i'll break it. It is sturdy with the metal casing. The hinges are amazing! When I type the screen does not jiggle like most others, my brother has the HP spectre and is jealous of my sturdy screen When I put it in the tent style it stays put and does not fall down. The minimal screen bezel is outstanding and so easy to look at with the edge to edge feel. The touch screen is very responsive . Unfortunately it does not work with a pen but that's nothing that should steer you away. The only thing that is weird is the camera placement, it is at the bottom of the screen and has a slight odd angle and you can see the keyboard in the picture but it's not bad at all. The touch pad is very responsive and the keyboard is super easy to type on. Only 1 USB port but haven't run into issues with not having more. No HDMI port only USB type c that you can get an adapter cable for. It does have an headphone jack. I was very hesitant to buy this because of the limited ports but everything else sold me. The color is amazing, finally something different than silver. I searched for months for a laptop , went back and forth between a few and am so glad I chose this one. It is so sleek it makes everyone else bend their necks to get a look. The fan can get a little loud when having alot of tabs open and when first using, but after you update it it isn't really noticeable. I love this laptop so much and just can't get over the 10 hour battery life because I was so skeptical of that.

I bought this a couple of months ago and so far love it. It's very lightweight, nice screen color and resolution. I'm happy with the battery usage. Two issues so far, one is the keyboard and the right shift key. It's in the wrong location - too far to the right and down; you end up hitting the page up key. If you type on it enough, your brain will adjust. If you use other computers, it will take longer to register which keyboard you're on. I solved half of it by using my solar, wireless keyboard; so I only have to adjust when I'm traveling with it, without a separate keyboard. The keys are positive and everything else is fine. If you finger peck, you'd never notice. Minor adjustment all in all. The other issue is that I can't get it to connect to my Asus monitor. I've only tried simple solutions to fix it. I bought the Protection Plan from Best Buy and need to call and ask them to help me. It's a newer monitor, so it should connect. It comes without Office, so you are supposed to buy the annual subscription to Office 360. That ticks me off, so I downloaded Office 2010 that I already had. Everything works fine. It only has one USB port, so I use a Targus 4 port in that slot. I also had to buy an HDMI adapter for the monitor. Expensive at about $70 in my opinion, but it plugs into the lightning port and also has another USB on it. The fingerprint pad to open it works, but my fingerprints are worn down too much for it to work consistently, so I use the regular log in options. If you have this issue with phones or other fingerprint pads like the type on doors, you'll have it here too. Love those hinges! Not only do they operate well, they're beautiful to look at. Very lightweight and I love traveling with it.

This laptop is gorgeous looking and screamingly fast. I got a phenomenal open-box deal on it. And it broke my heart to return it, but return it I did. Why? Because Lenovo decided to put the up arrow key where the right hand shift key should be. Now, if you are a hunt-and-peck kind of typist, this is probably not a big deal. But as someone who's been touch typing >60 wpm since learning on an actual typewriter in high school, I depend on the shift key to be where it is supposed to be.....and putting the up arrow there is extra obnoxious, because every time I tried to capitalize a left-hand letter, I'd end up hitting the up arrow and moving the cursor up a row and then when I kept typing, the words I was typing would be in the middle of the previous row. After doing that a couple times, my document was basically undecipherable. I am not kidding when I tell you that I typed on this for all of about 3 minutes before deciding it was going back to Best Buy -- and like I said, it was a screamingly good open-box deal so it broke my heart to return it, but there was simply no way I could relearn 30 years of typing habits.. I ended up paying more money for the Lenovo 720 - a step down in processor speed and not as pretty, but at least Lenovo managed to put the shift key in the right place.

Within three hours of opening the box for this laptop, I had setup Windows 10, completed all of the latest updates, installed the security software of my choice, and installed Microsoft Office 365, along with Python, R, and RStudio. The bootup time is comparable to a median percentile Chromebook. I love the fact that it has a biometric sign on (fingerprint), as well as a Novo button, which serves as a system recovery in case the laptop does not boot up properly. The shift key on the right of the keyboard is smaller than a standard shift key, and there is not Kensington lock. The smaller shift key on the right of the keyboard forces one to relearn touch typing for those letters that are in the proximity of the shortened shift key. The fact that these are the only nits as to the overall quality is a testament to the brilliant and forward thinking design. I can finally breathe as I turn on this laptop and not wait until my hair turns gray to actually use the software and features and other aspects of the laptop. Using this machine enables one to optimize the use of software instead of waiting for all of the updates to load. I think that solid state storage (SSD) is indeed the wave of the future and traditional hard drives (especially 5,200 rpm ones) will be in the history books within five years.

Dont buy this. Having had bad luck with an HP, I bought my yoga 910 with all the bells and whistles 3 months ago. I paid $1600+. It was fine, with a few limitations, for for 1.5 months. Just long enough to get out of the best buy repair limit. At the outset, the fingerprint ID never worked. This was one of the reasons that I chose the yoga. After resetting it 5 times I gave up and only use the pin. Also, the right shift key is small and in a weird place. It’s really irritating. That’s just the beginning. About 1.5 months in, the mouse and the touch screen began to freeze…all all all the time. I mostly use MS Office and Chrome. You cant multitask on this – more than 3 applications in MS Office open at one time, and the yoga goes nuts and freezes. You have to wait 5 minutes before it resets itself, or do a forced restart. It cant take video and therefore freezes. Now, 3 months in, it takes forever to wake up. It also gets super hot after a few hours of use. Im not sending it back to Lenovo and waiting a month for them to not fix it. It’s going to that place where all awful computers go to die. THE YOGA 910 IS AWFUL.

I've been using Lenovo laptops and PC's at work for the past few years and have always been impressed with their products, so it only made sense to turn to Lenovo when I was shopping for a new laptop for personal use. After reading reviews online, I knew there were some people who were complaining about the keyboard layout, and I admit it took about 2 days to get used to it. But after that I was back to typing at my normal speed. Also, it's hard to get a premium 14" slim laptop. Most are either 13.3" or 15", but I find that 14" is the perfect size for me. The build quality is top notch - I especially like the hinges, you can tell that Lenovo spared no expense when turning this laptop into a viable 2-in-1. My only complaint is that the Ram is soldered on, making it nearly impossible to upgrade it on my own. But rest assured that 8BG is more than enough for typical, everyday use. I usually have Microsoft Excel and Word open, as well as a bunch of Chrome tabs and I've never noticed any lag.. Overall, it's a great laptop and I will absolutely be upgrading my next PC to a Lenovo as well.
