A:AnswerThis is a very versatile midrange laptop. It will be excellent for Microsoft Office projects, online research, email, video streaming and social media. If that sounds like what you will be doing, it would be a good match.
A:AnswerI'm using the Webroot Secure Anywhere software version 9.0.11.70 that came free for 6 months with the laptop and it has performed well so far. I read a few reviews online and it seems to be one of the better ones available. No slowdowns or interference with performance or stability as far as I can tell.
A:AnswerYes, there are many 3-rd party anti-virus software offerings other. This system comes with a trial version of McAfee anti-virus software. Your Best Buy may recommend another brand, all are good. You just need to install them and keep them up to date.
A:AnswerYes, the new Yoga 900s and the Yoga ThinkPad 14" both are capable of using an active pen. The ThinkPad Yoga comes with a pen, the Yoga 900s does not but is capable of working with an active pen. Here are links to these products, first the Yoga 900s then the ThinkPad Yoga:

A:AnswerA certified technician can upgrade the internal SSD to 512GB. But you can easily increase the solid state storage on this system by utilizing the full size SD card slot and add an additional 512GB just by using a full size SD card.
A:AnswerNo, there is no slot on the motherboard this system uses for a graphics card. Take a look at the Yoga 710-15, it comes with an Intel Core I-7 processor and a discrete graphics card. If you want a 14" screen, look at the Yoga ThinkPad 2-14. It has an Intel Core I-5 processor and a discrete graphics card.
A:AnswerYes, I have the same issue and it seems a lot of other do too. I updated one driver and nothing changed. The other driver was downloaded but my laptop wouldn't install it.
A:AnswerNo, this system has a 6th Generation Intel processor and Intel has discontinued WiDi technology on its chips. Quoting the Intel site: "Intel has made the decision to discontinue marketing and development of Intel® WiDi and Intel® Pro WiDi applications and related receiver certification program effective immediately. Now that the MiraCast* standard is natively supported in the Microsoft Windows* 8.1 and 10 operating system for wireless display capabilities with strong user experience, Intel is redirecting its resources and focus to future areas of growth."
A:AnswerThat will be the Yoga 710 15.6" and you can see it on the Best Buy web site here:

A:AnswerYes. Oh my goodness Yes. Solid State Drives are at least ten times faster than hard disk drives. I would leave the SSD in the laptop and purchase an external hard drive for large files. You can get a 1 terabyte WD external hard drive for 59.99. Disk drives in laptops are getting increasing outdated.
