Well this is a pretty good, solid, small laptop. It's pretty small, but that's what I was looking for. Easy to take with you. The display looks nice, and the keyboard is the perfect size for my small hands. However if you have large hands this may be a negative for you. I like the touch screen as well.
But a couple points, Windows 8 is very annoying. Things are constantly popping up when my mouse isn't anywhere near the edge of the screen. I've yet to figure out why it does this when it shouldn't. Overall I think the OS itself needs a revamp. The slide out menu is just way too sensitive and some of the settings are difficult to find. It's a very big change from the setup of Windows 7. A tutorial would have come in handy.
As for the computer itself, the mousepad is a little too sensitive for my tastes, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the settings on that (but that's another Windows 8 struggle). And while the tenting feature is quite nice for watching videos, the convertible to tablet point they market it on is kind of laughable. Yes you can flip the screen over....into the world's most awkward tablet. Though it's a small laptop, it's too big to be a tablet. Nothing about this device is convenient or comfortable to hold or use in tablet mode. And then there's the issue of the explosed keyboard. Not comfortable. Feels weird.
But overall, for the faults it does have, it's a pretty decent little laptop for the price, especially with the touchscreen feature. The battery life is awesome too. And the speakers are quite loud, which has always been an issue for me with other laptops; speakers that are too quiet.

Bought this for my daughter to use at college. She has had no problems with it. Uses it for word processing and surfing the internet mostly. Battery life has been good. It's a very light, thin and portable. Because of its size she can take it to class and use it there even with the small desks. Nice purchase.

Great 2 in 1 laptop for the price. I bought this for my wife and it fits her personal needs. This is a lightweight and versatile laptop so it is easy to carry. She uses this for web surfing and other simple tasks. In my opinion, unless you are a gamer or developer, this should be good enough for most people.

The first laptop I had (brand new) crashed on me within the month of buying it, I went to best buy and they wouldn't fix it without having me pay $100+ dollars, given that I was still under the Holiday Return Deal, they had no choice but to either give my money back or replace it for another one. I decided to go with the same model (don't ask me why) it's been 2 months thus far and it's worked out well. It does seem a tad slow overall and sometimes it doesn't pick up good wifi coverage, I'd say this laptop is AVERAGE at best, I wouldn't personally buy it again if this one crashes on me again.
The pros: Small, Light weight (great for travel), the price

Like the case, quality feel and now like the Lenovo brand packaging (convert from Dell). Like Windows 8 at first didn't think so. Touch is a must for Windows 8. Might have opted for a faster processor, but for the price this is good enough. Perfect solution for internet, streaming flicks to the tube, email, taxes, word applications. Like the size and portability over my old desktop.

I was annoyed at first, when flipping from different positions, because an alert would popup. Once I found where to disable that, it was much better. I like the convenience of size and ability to have something that is light weight and very portable. Good product.

I got this as an open box for $300 but would have gladly paid full price. It is a good balance between size and build quality, suitable for portability. The screen, even though not full HD, does an adequate job with nice colors and readability. The materials used, brushed aluminum looking, give it a nice look and feel in hand. Its weight is light enough to carry around in a backpack. It facilitates switching from laptop mode, to tent, to tablet. Using it for browsing and media playback has yielded a quick and smooth experience, though I'm sure it can handle much more.
A nice product to use, look at, and gets the job done!

I was pretty impressed with this product until I went and bought another MacBook for myself. So my review might seem a little biased as I'm comparing it with an awesome MacBook.
Pros
360 degrees swirl
Very handy
Touch screen is very very good
Sleek and lightweight
Windows OS is pretty good
Screen resolution is awesome. Feels like you're watching a Sony TV
Keypad is very comfortable
Cons
Mousepad is a little hard at times. I'm comparing this with the Mac. I didn't feel this initially when I bought this.
I got a pentium chip. I feel and i5 or i7 would be definitely better

I bought this Laptop for my 15 yr old daughter for Christmas even though she was hoping for a Chromebook. Needless to say she LOVED it!
So far the laptop has been functioning perfectly so no problems there. It has a much more expensive appearance than the price, the screen is crisp and clear, the tablet or touchscreen portion also works flawlessly.
Overall, this is a great little laptop for the price. It's such a nice machine that I'm thinking about buying another for myself even though I already have an Apple MacBook Pro... That says a lot in my opinion.

The good. I was looking for something that was a touch screen and a laptop with a tablet function. This fit the bill. It's responsive and sturdy.
The bad. Not the fastest thing in the world.
For the price, it's just right.

This computer is a great choice if you are looking for a laptop that is light weight, has good battery life, and good speed. The processor is a pentium quad core n3520 which is comparable to the next level up i3 processor but without the extra power saving technology. The computer will average around 5 hours of battery life while browsing the web or taking notes with the brightness turned down a few notches. When playing videos you can expect to average only around 2 -3 hours depending on the brightness as well. If you are looking for an affordable 2 in 1 laptop this is a great choice. Lenovo makes a sleeve that you can store the laptop in and it also works to protect the keyboard when using it in tablet mode. the touch screen is very accurate, and I have not trouble with it recognizing touch inputs. One thing that i do not like about the computer is the keyboard. If you are going to be typing for long periods of time, the smaller keyboard can cause typing fatigue if you are use to a full size keyboard.
All in all the lenovo yoga 2 11s is a good choice if you are looking for an affordable 2 in 1 laptop that has good battery life, exceptional speed, a decent display, and is very lightweight and portable

I really liked this compact laptop, easy, lightweight, could take anywhere. The issues...well I use salesforce, gmail, word or publisher at any given or at the same time. You can't do all that on this laptop with only 4g. The Geeksquad was so extremely helpful and truly appreciate their time answering my question and giving me information on why this laptop was giving me disk space errors similar to my 5 yr old split drive on Bootcamp MAC with windows XP. Windows 8 apparently hogs 2g just to run. They mentioned I needed at least 6g to do what I do without issues. I upgraded to an HP Envy 13" ~ which is working way better. I like the Lenovo but too upgrade to more than a 4g the price was not in my budget for this just a work laptop. I give 3 stars due not enough information on the web to help with choosing and I truly believe if windows 8 hogs 2g to run then this OS shouldn't be on any laptop with a 4g platform ~ that's a waste of money. This laptop wouldn't suit a college or high school student with those applications in constant use.

Got this when my semi-ancient lightweight Asus notebook died. This Yoga outdoes the Asus on weight and laptop performance. I was intrigued by the flip-back screen that allows it to emulate a tablet. So far, that seems better in concept than reality, for lots of little reasons: battery life is still that of a laptop, not a tablet. Win10 doesn't support any outside Swype-style virtual keyboards, meaning it's not easy/fast to take notes on the tablet.
But media functionality (videos, music) is fine, Win10 is a good environment and this is a fine lightweight on-the-go laptop. (I still may just knuckle down and get a Galaxy Tab or iPad mini, tho, for true tablet functionality.)

I really like my new laptop. Is thin and light to carry any where. The touch screen makes it easier to navigate. It feels like a table but is a full laptop. I love both feelings.

If you want to spend 400$ on a computer, you're going to get 400$ out of it. It's a little slower for a quad core than what I was expecting though. Overall great PC from Lenovo!

This computer was an impulse buy which I felt guilty about before I got in the car. The price was excellent AND it came with Windows. I know the quality of toshiba, but I didn't research this item. I was very pleasantly surprised at the performance, convenient size. It's perfect for moat of the things I do on the Internet and word processing.

Definitely a solid computer. It is very versatile and can perform most daily tasks that it was bought it for. Gaming isn't really an option on it, except for very basic ones. The battery life is also more than sufficient. While the tent and stand modes aren't really used as much, the tablet mode is definitely an advantage for lazily doing tasks on the couch. Overall a great purchase for the price.
