A:AnswerYes, you should be able to connect your external CD/DVD reader-writer to the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 2--14. You need to install any drivers that either came with the drive or from the LG web site. The drivers must be compatible with Windows 10. This sounds like you need to install the Windows 10 driver on the system.
A:AnswerThis will depend on what program you are using. FreshPaint does not use palm rejection, but OneNote, which works better for note taking anyway, does use it. It's a great laptop, and if you use the right program, you will be just fine.
A:AnswerReally depends on which yoga you are talking about. This is a "Thinkpad" yoga and Thinkpads have good keyboards. The keyboard does have some flex but that does not bother me at all. The size of the keyboard, location of the right shift and backspace keys is what matters. Thinkpads have gotten it right. I do own another regular yoga (first version) and the keyboard on that one is bad. I basically reject any laptop with a tiny right shift key.

A:AnswerUnless you plan to use it mostly in the fully open tablet mode, and walk around with it that way, I don't see any real need..I am not aware of a custom screen protector tor this laptop.
A:AnswerAs with every Windows laptop, it is up to the consumer whether they want anti-virus and which one they want to use. It's not going to spontaneously combust because you don't have anti-virus running, but you run the risk of getting a virus. Although Windows 10 does have a decent one built in.
