Perfect ultrabook BUT overheats
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Everything what an ultrabook should be
- Fast, as in very faaaassstttttt..
- Value for money, got it for less during thanksgiving, cheaper than surface, wayyy cheaper than a fruit pc and way high configuration than similar configurations in those brands
- Awesome screen, a tad bit less bright than a surface but a non issue once used to the screen. Display also has a night mode / reading mode where it cuts blue light and its awesome
- Size and aspect ratio wise, screen seems perfect, for an ultrabook
- Nice on board sound, also has dolby atmos for headphones
- Very nice hinge, smoothest and presumably long lasting
- Quiet, fan doesn't get too loud,
- Sturdy build, aluminum all around but with sharp edges
Now the biggest CON
- HEAT, the laptop heats up like crazy even while playing youtube videos. Part between the hinge and keyboard, gets hot a lot, doesn't get warm, it gets HOT. both above and at the bottom.
And this is my second laptop. The first one I bought, got hot really bad, returned in just 2 days, Bestbuy was kind enough to take it back, no issues
I thought the heat could be due to a faulty piece. But another piece exactly same issue. Its going in a day or two
I installed all the updates, both from microsoft, from lenovo and bios updates, thinking could be a bad update but wasn't the case
Attached image shows at even these low cpu temps and low cpu loads, the laptop gets hot
I really liked the laptop but can't stand the heat
IMHO, avoid, there are other options
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a high performance system with its Intel Core i7-8550U Quad-Core/Eight Thread processor, 16GB of RAM and its 512GB solid state hard drive. This system will generate heat any time it is turned on, including at idle. This is normal. The onboard fan will maintain the normal operating temperature of the system. When the fan runs, you will hear it, this too is normal. The fan vents at the hinge on the device. As you note in your photos, the system temperature is low.

Fast as lighting and pretty to boot. it can handle my three display docking station which gives me four screens to run multiple applications and functions.
My starwars limited addition with serial number means it looks good but strong due to the gorilla glass for the picture. I added a clear hard case and now I'm not concerned to slip it into a leather sleeve then into my EDC bag to take with me everywhere.
Waaaaaahoooo

I got all the power of the Lenovo 920 with an excellent, classic Star Wars graphic for a terrific price - same machine but hundreds cheaper. Maybe it is because not as many like this particular Star Wars theme, maybe because it doesn't actually come with ports that make it compatible with older peripherals. I would have preferred an HDMI or lightning port, but adapters are readily available. Love the customizable features and the watch band hinge. It is light but also sturdy. I thought the keyboard would retract when flipped to tablet mode, but maybe that is only on certain models. I look forward to using this machine for quite a few more years.

This is the first windows laptop I ever purchased, as I had only used Apple machines before and thought I’d never switch. But I finally realized great machines like this are just as good as apple for half the price. This one is fast and beautiful and I love the Star Wars theme. I use it for audio production and photoshop and so far no hangups.

I was going back and forth on weather to get the 1080p model or 4k model and I am so glad I bought the 4k model. The screen is fantastic, this one has 16Gb ram and 512Gb SSD. This boots up in 10 seconds.
The Star Wars version also comes with the Lenovo pen which works excellent when you need it. I have only used the laptop in tablet mode a few times but it works great in this mode. It is big so you have to get used to holding it in tablet mode.
The CPU will boost to 3.80+Ghz when needed. You will know when it does because the cooling fan can be heard when the system is operating at those speeds.
I don't know how long the battery lasts yet. I have had it last 7-8 hours but if I play a game on it, it dies a lot faster then it would if you were just using it to surf the web, email and social media.
And if you like Star Wars this model is great. I love the cover.

It just happened I ran into this limited edition start war laptop. I didn't have a huge expectation other than it was so slim it was very easy for me to travel with. but after been using it, I have to say the performance exceeded all my expectation. The configuration is fast enough for almost anything, even ran some games like Borderland 2 on it. The only complaint I have is it does get super hot, sometime even when I'm not using it with lid closed, its still burning on the bottom.

After using a 15.6" screen laptop for many years, I was worried about dropping down to a 14". No more worries: this Yoga 920 Star Wars is one awesome machine. Fast, light, beautiful display, backlit keyboard, touchscreen--it has every feature that I wanted. I bought the 2 year Geek Squad package/warranty, and they had it professionally up and ready-to-go in less than 24 hours upon arrival! I can't say enough about this computer and the Geek Squad service....100% satisfied!

I am an avid apple user, but wanted to get a windows 10 laptop, I love this laptop, it is fast with the I7 processor, 512 SSD, 4K screen is beautiful and touch screen, it light and all aluminum enclosure, and has a cool Star Wars image on it, oh and it has a pen for windows ink. What more could you want, the only thing it’s missing is a 1080 graphics card but that would make it huge and I love the size on this it almost made me want to move back to windows entirely.

Pro: Design is good. Material feels solid. I like the hinge, feels firm. I like the touchpad, accurate and convenient.
Con:
1. Heat: a lot of review says heat is ok, however, when it's charging, it's heating a lot.
2. Transition between the modes. Lenovo seems didn't do as good job as HP Spectre 360 on the transition between laptop and tablet. If you fold it while watching youtube full screen, the whole video will be hided. Also, this thin edge design making folding very HARD not to touch the touch screen accidentally.
3. The poster on the cover is SO UGLY, I didn't notice when I buy it, it's not as good as original Yoga series. With this poster, it feels actually cheap. So BUY A NORMAL YOGA 920.
Overall: though there are some cons, overall seems good and worth the money.

Love this laptop. It’s super thin and light. Screen quality is amazing and I love how it turns into a tablet. Battery is good but not as great as advertised. Lasts about 4 hours for me.

Computer is not bogged down with extra software that must be deleted, Keyboard is responsive, although there is a problem with the cursor moving between lines or opening new tabs without prompting. The Star Wars Logo on the cover is a bit of a gimmick, but the processor inside is a force of its own.

This is one of the best laptops/notebooks I have ever owned. I would give it 5 stars if the battery didn't drain while it is sleeping/hibernating and if it had some texture on the bottom to keep it from being so slippery. I am afraid I may drop it.
