The Solid State Drive and the 1920x1080 display make this more expensive than something with a faster processor. And it does have Bluetooth.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Yoga 700 that comes equipped with an Intel m3 is less expensive because the processor is a pretty slow, low power mobile processor. The i5 version comes with a 256 GB SSD standard and the i5 processor is far superior to either the m3 or the m5. From my understanding, an m3 is like a cell phone-performance processor being stuffed into a laptop: cheap, small, and cheap. I can imagine that the processors are soldered so you can't upgrade down the line. And the i5 comes with 8 GB RAM.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think the reviews speak for themselves - the parts just seem to work better together maybe? It actually does have Bluetooth, the Best Buy website info is incorrect.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It uses the newer chip, but trust me this 700 is not faster than previous Yoga versions because it has thermal throttling issues. An 11s would be much faster but also heavier.
