Owner's manual

Q: The expert reviews of the 128GB model all say it has the QHD IPS LCD (2560 x 1600) screen. That includes Tom's Hardware, Verge, CNET, and Engadget. However, both Best Buy and Ebay say the 128GB model has the 1920x1080 screen. So which is it?

A: 1920 x 1080 refers to the Eink screen, The 2560x1600 applies to the color LCD screen.

Q: Is the keyboard backlit, that is can you use the keyboard in a dark room? Reading the specifications here and elsewhere some say yes and another says no backlight. Which one is right?

A: It is definitely NOT a back-lit keyboard. IF anything it illuminates like a glow in the dark keypad. I've used it in a dark space without lights and was able to see the keyboard just fine.

Q: How many USB ports does it have? does it have an HDMI port?

A: None, but it has USB-C which has adapters for HDMI and USB. It's a fun little laptop, but it is a bit glitchy sometimes. Once in a while Lenovo releases an update and it improves it. Great if you want attention and show off a cool new gadget. I still do most my work on my Surface Book.

Q: does this come with 2560 x 1600 touch screen or just 1920x1080?

A: 2560 x 1600 is the main display resolution, 1920x1080 is the e/ink display resolution, no matter which model. There is a mistake at best buy description

Q: Hi does it support LTE ? Thanks

A: No

Q: Does this laptop come with a stylus?

A: Yes, it does come with a stylus, that allows you to write, draw,erase etc. The stylus is high quality.

Q: is this computer able to work with the focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen audio interface for music

A: undefined

Q: What is the output voltage of the power adapter and can I use the adapter that comes with HP Spectre X360 which also has USB-C connector?

A: undefined

Awesome device that seems too expensive
Part of this review is being typed up on my Yoga Book C930 (aka the Yoga Book 2), on a flight, in a dimly lit cabin, with some turbulence. I've got to say I've really enjoyed traveling with this thing. It's very thin and light, has no fans, is unique, and has some cool little features. It fits perfectly on the seat tray and can be set to various positions - the usual laptop way, as a tent, fully opened like a tablet, both screens held sideways like a book, or with the e-ink screen(keyboard) laying upside down (which is the best for watching movies). The outside of the device looks great and clean with nice edges. The e-ink screen is nice in the light, but can't be seen well in the dark. It's not backlit. To be able to type in a dark plane I changed the keyboard keys to white and am using the light from the regular screen, and my limited typing and memory skills. My fingers can't sit on the keys without them registering a key swipe, so they have to hover just over the keyboard. The responsiveness is quite amazing for this type of keyboard. Even though I type slower and make mistakes with this keyboard, it's still pretty fun. That said, typing several pages of a report could probably get annoying after a while. The keys move or signal visually when pressed, along with feeling haptic feedback (which sounds like an old Macintosh computer reading a disk). There's also supposed to be another sound (not the haptic feedback sound), but I have yet to here it. The settings that allow this sound's volume to be changed seem to make no difference. The included pen and e-ink screen are impressive and feel great when drawing or writing, but the menu buttons on the e-reader can feel a bit slow when pressed. E-books aren't compatible yet, but I heard that feature will be added in early 2019. By the way, the regular screen looks really good and bright, even if it could use less bezels. I've typed this much in a half hour, after watching Netflix with a dim screen and no Wi-Fi for an hour and a half, and the battery has drained 20%. That's pretty good, but with wifi on and a brighter screen I can't get a good estimate on how long the battery should last. Somewhere between five and eight hours I guess. Reviewers have said it can last up to 10 hours with normal use of browsing and typing. Along with an e-ink screen the Yoga Book features a magnetic lid (opens with two knocks or the volume button), two dolby speakers, two USB-C ports, and a USB-C fast charger. There's a fingerprint sensor but I've only gotten it to work three times out of about twenty. It doesn't even activate for use half the time, so I use a code instead. Lenovo included it's own software, but some of the functions don't allow me to change stuff and sometimes they switch back to original settings on their own. This little laptop has lower specs, but it's pretty fast. Menus and websites pop up or load quickly. As incredible as it is for how much is packed inside this little device, it's understandable that compromises had to be made. However, I have to mention the price. I got this on sale, but the hardware specs don't reflect the $900 and up price tag. I wanted to give this computer five stars, but for the price there should be more ram and/or storage. I can think of compactness, weight, the pen and Wacom technology, and the second screen as possible reasons for the cost. Aside from that, I'm happy with this laptop/tablet/e-reader.

And now for something completely different
Initial impressions of this device are simple to talk about. Its THIN, extremely portable and most of all, different. The processor (i5 model) seems ample for the daily tasks I'm using it for as is the RAM (only 4 but enough for basics). The device seems to get warm with heavier loads but that is expected. It does make me worry about battery longevity... speaking of which, the battery isn't very impressive... don't believe the 8-10 hour quote... its likely you MIGHT get 4-5. The e-ink display is a delight for reading under the right circumstances (no backlight though - and it is fidgety) and I personally have no major issues with typing on it (I'm fairly used to typing on glass). Hand note taking and basic drawing with the included pen is quick and accurate IMO and I use it daily. Battery shortcomings aside, I very much enjoy my purchase. People interested in this device need to buy it for WHAT IT IS (a basic laptop with productivity in mind, a supplemental device, a device that combines several in one - laptop, note taker, e-reader, media player/streamer) and NOT for what they WANT IT TO BE (not a gaming machine - Intel 615 - configurable or older steam games are just fine though - this is not a powerhouse). I enjoy mine, as I went in with an idea of what I was buying, and I was correct. There are now several software / firmware updates and I recommend you read about these prior to making final judgement and a purchase. Just a note, this is a copy paste from my review on the Lenovo website, with a couple of tweeks and an addition below: I also began to use this device for productivity apps such as MS office and it's fantastic. Remember I'm used to typing on glass. I purchased a 400gb sdxc for the device and it works perfectly. My Xbox controller links well via Bluetooth and I've played games from Xbox game pass such as slay the spire without issue (loads a tad slow). I have NOT tried higher end games. I check the minimum specs for the game to avoid disappointment. I also purchased an external usb-c hub (made by UNI), and the official Lenovo yogabook sleeve that was made for the previous edition (it fits perfectly). I will close with the statement that these additions opened the device vastly. I very very much enjoy my purchase. Also of note, I purchased this product on sale at bestbuy when it was 649.99. At full price, My review stay about the same but would definitely re think my value rating as I compared it to similarly priced products.

C930, not quite ready for prime-time, But like it.
Form Factor I love the form factor of the Yoga Book C930. It is very light, lighter than some of my paper bound notebooks I've carried around at work for years. I plan on using this for taking notes, using MS OneNote and the built-in elink as needed. This 10in, thin yoga book will fit easily in a folio bag or my back pack. Performance Using a I5-Y54 processor cpu @1.2 GHZ on W10 Home, it is fine for intended use. It does seem a bit snappy, for casual use, not necessarily for heavyweight programs. Browsing, office apps and email are fine. Memory My first thought/question: Is this a real computer with only 4 GB memory? 90's flasback! It seems sufficient for this device, if barely. Given the price point of the purchase for the c930 ($750 at BB), I would have preferred to see at least 8Gb of memory. Although I might have succumbed to an upsale for an upgrade to 8GB, if it were offered. It was not...!) Seems to me it could have helped the device -even the elink hardware performance, as it seems a bit laggy in switching modes with the 4GB memory config. Display Display @ 2560x1600 IPS, seems fairly sharp and bright. Bezels are a bit wide, but i can live with that. The display is already small, but bigger than my mobile phone. So there is that. Keyboard I actually kinda like the haptic feedback for the elink keyboard. I'm not the greatist typist, but for the intended use of this device, I'm good with it. I type better on this keyboard, than i do on my Macbook Pro 15in keyboard. This review is being typed on the C930 elink keyboard. I do seem to have a lazy left-hand pinky finger, that likes to add 'a's and 's',s inadvertantly on this elink keyboard. I'm cleaning those up as I type in this review. E-link I'm still getting familiar with the elink. It seems to work as advertized, per my initial understanding. The drawing on the elink screen is good. I haven't tested the ereader, as I plan on using Kindle on windows for my ereader, if I decide to use the device for extended reading. Switching between the elink modes (keyboard, big touchpad, drawing pad, and ereader does seem to be a bit laggy, but performs fine when using the modes. Pen I like the pen with 4096 levels of pressure. About the same as the MS Surface pen for heft. Not as good as wacom pens, and marginally less than apple pencil. It does stick to edges of the lid magnetically, but don't expect the pen to be secured for safe travel. Dgital Art I do amatueur digital art. As the Yoga book c930 is not a power house, I knew it wouldn't be able to support the large memory heavyweight art/photo apps, like photoshop or corel painter. However, I did install SketchBook Pro, as it is a bit lighter on memory and was pleasantly surprised. The digital pen and the sketchbook pro app, performed awesomely: smooth lines, no jitter, pressure worked fine, and no lag at just a few layers. The brushes i used had little or no lag. Power Consumption Ok. Hmmmm.... I started with 100% battery at 7am this morning, and at 12:30 PM it says I have 25% left or 1 hour of battery remaining. 6.5 hours of battery life on first extended usage. I'm used to the boasts of manufacturers on battery life being more than actual experience. However, with the minimal hardware config on this device, I expected to get nearer 8+. Granted I turned all power/sleep options to "Never", but I've also been using the device continuously this morning without interruption, except for a bio break and a coffee refill. Meh! My HP Specter x360 with 4K display gets 8 hours of battery. iPads, usually all day and into the next day. The C930 won't make it thru a work day without a supplemental charge. Discouraging. Finger Printer Sensor <Insert Funeral Dirge musical clip>. Absolutely, awful. I can't set it up! One finger press, lift.....2nd attempt, "cannot recognize your finger, please try again!" Multiple attempts, same result. I'm not crazy. It is not a deal breaker, unless, Lenovo or BB will tell me I have a defective device. Still the youtube reviews, and online reviews all speak about even when setup, Lenovo C930 fingerprint reader is NOT dependable. I'll check with Lenovo about it, I guess. But not expecting miracles. I can live without it, as compared to trying to live with a undependable finger print reader. Warranty OK. I'm still trying to decide if this a deal-breaker. After setting up this new Yoga book, purchased from BB yesterday (Sep 2019), I logged onto the Lenovo site, only to discover the device warranty period had already started ticking at Feb 2019. This is Sep 2019, and I only have 192 days left on the warranty. I tried chatting with a Lenovo Support agent, but I was 25th in the support queue and 30 minutes later 22nd in line. I left the chat and will chase this down later. I have bought many computers and the initial warranties for 1 year usually doesn't start ticking until initial user registration. If Lenovo cannot give me at least 1 year of warrantied support at time of purchase, then I'm at risk, wouldn't you say? This is my first Lenovo: Is this normal for them to start the warranty period consumption shortly after manufacture, but before purchase by consumer ? I'll call BB today. If warranty cannot get resolved, i'll update this review, and probably return the device. Overall, I wanted to like this device ALOT! If they had added a config with 8GB memory or at a bit lower price point, I would have had fewer doubts about this purchase. Don't get me wrong, there is much I do like about the Yoga book with elink. If Lenovo or BB will do me right on the warranty period, I will probably keep this device and maybe even provide a 3 mo. update on the actual extended usage. If not, MS Surface book may be my next option, after sending the Lenovo Yoga Book C930 back. Sorry.
