A:Answerthe fancy hinge is what makes this product usable imho. we specifically rejected the yoga 2 because of the cheap looking hinge. it cost a little more but for the way we are constantly going between pad and notebook the strong hinge is necessary.
A:AnswerI had Yoga 2 Pro with i7-4500U before this. Performance is comparable. I tested several apps side by side when I first got this and almost no difference in response. Testers report that Core M throttles down under load when it heats up, but my use has not encountered any slowdowns.
A:AnswerDue to the fact that this laptop doesn't have an active digitizer(essentially doesn't work with an active stylus) I wouldn't recommend using this for digital drawing. For you I'd recommend a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which for the same price gives you an i5, keyboard, and Active Pen/Stylus that works great with almost all drawing applications.
A:AnswerYes, but unlike the 2 pro, and like the Macbook's and Macbook Air, it uses PCIe memory, and 512G will cost about $500.00, but you can do it yourself and there is a YouTube video that walks you through it.
I personally have a hard time spending nearly 1/2 the cost of the machine for the extra 256G.
I've done it on a 2 and 3 pro, including my own 2pro, but the 2 pro uses mSATA ssd's which are less expensive.
A:AnswerNope, the problem is the advantage
The screen resolution is so high that some programs can't handle it. My guess is LOTUS is one of them. I have similar issue when i'm working through terminal server application
A:AnswerIt is varying between 1.1-1.6 according to system manager. 4 logical.
data is real. not the fastest 2in1 on the planet - -but I would say among the best., Definitely the lightest. Highly recommended!!!!
A:AnswerSo far I've seen issues with some installers, but it's been a flaky problem. All of the issues have come when launching the installation from IE, but it corrects if I switch to Chrome.
A:AnswerI found a "Bamboo" brand that works. From what I hear, No, not any will work, mine is the "Stylus solo" which has a special tip that works with the touch screen. I got if for the "Fresh Paint" app. It works great. I bought is elsewhere (office supply store, Staples), since Best Buy didn't carry it.
A:AnswerI wouldn't recommend any high resolution games or ones that take a lot of processing power. The processor has a speed closer to the i5 than the i7, which is quite a large gap in processor power.
