Bought a refurbished Lenovo Yoga 2 and have been very happy with it. As soon as I got it I received a notice from Best Buy that there was a program installed that was harmful and needed to be removed. I took it to Best Buy and they promptly and courteously handled that situation. I love the size and weight of the computer. Other reviews I read mentioned issues with the touch and feel of the keyboard, but I have found it to be no different than any other laptop. Very easy to use.
I tend to use mine in laptop mode rather than tablet, so I can't speak with a lot of experience on that aspect, but thus far I find it fun to use. Microsoft 8 takes some getting used to since everything is basically an app, compared to desktop-like functions that I am used to.
As mentioned, the screen is a perfect size (13.3) and I love the weight of the machine. That has been a great plus compared to my last computer.
Highly recommend the Lenovo Yoga 2 for both home and travel use.

Bought it refurb but the quality and performance is excellent. Met all needs that I was expecting from this. This laptop is lightweight and as advertised versatile for multi-use goals. I did not particularly like the bloatware (Lenovo apps) that come pre-installed but I was able to remove them. The touchpad may take some time to get used to if you have never used touchpad or multi-gesture capability. Excellent buy.

The item is not as wonderful as I expected. However, this may be in part because I am not a techy. It goes very quicky, boots up quickly, but loading software is a bit of challenge. getting it to work with other devices such as printers has been challenging. Once its set up it works really well.

Runs the Sims 3 better than my boyfriends Mac.
The touch screen works smoothly and I have never had issues.
Comes pre-loaded with Dragon, which is kind of like Siri. You can talk to the computer and it will do stuff, which is really cool.
It is really light and surprisingly tough. The solid state hard drive means that dropping it is less of a concern.
The bottom has a slight grip so you don't have to worry about it sliding around.
Tent mode is handy for watching movies.
Windows 8 isn't as difficult to grasp as people are always saying. I still use traditional desktop mode most of the time though.
I have literally never had a problem with this computer and I've used it every day for the last month.
I will say I complained about the audio being terrible at first but I realized that it was because sometimes in Firefox it turns down the sound automatically but you just open up the sound mixer and drag up the sound bar. Easy fix.

The speed & feel of the laptop are great. But I regret not looking for something with a larger hard drive. Its still a good product & I will add a larger hard drive later.

So far so good. The attached keyboard is very handy and the size of the screen much like my old laptop. I did have to return the unit because Office would not install and the PC had to be refreshed. Microsoft tech support could not install so it was a PC issue. I like the weight and ease of flipping to tablet mode. The keyboard on the tablet mode is quite easy to use.

This ultrabook is really fast, thin and low weight. Its battery has a long duration and the LENOVO software included and tablet position are awesome and easy to handle! It could have a higher HD storage capacity, but it's okay if you use a external HD. I recommend.

This Lenova Yoga 2 laptop has many great features. It was a bit of a learning curve as I'm not used to the tiles. Windows 8.2 was not much different from what I am using at work. Still learning things on Professional Office 2013. This Lenova is faster than my old computer and the battery life is above average. I feel like it was a good value for the price!

I got this laptop early November to use when I go to College. I love it! It's lightweight so I can carry it in my bag without a hassle. Love the touch screen feature though I like to use it as a laptop(need to get screen protector for my screen). I've used it on tablet mode but i'm not a big fan of it, too heavy for a tablet I have to use both hands or have it laid down to use it. Tent mode is awesome! I wish it had one more USB port though, I thought it had three but one port is for the charger. Even when lights our out i can still use it because the keys light up! Simply LOVE!

There is only one thing I really dislike about this computer. That is the depth of the micro HDMI port.
We have several of these in our office and we hook up to an external monitor. The micro HDMI port is to deep for the cable causing the connection not to be secure. I have had several people on my team come to me to troubleshoot. I've done some research on this and for some reason a lot of these machines are like this. I have found that Kanex Micro HDMI Type D to HDMI Cable works best. The micro HDMI end is a little longer than on most cords. With this cord I have no issues.
Otherwise this computer works well. It's fast and has a sleek design.

Lightweight but poor key position and slow

First, I do alot of typing and paperwork and wanted a lightweight computer to carry with me along with files, etc. From that stand point, it fits the bill. However, if you want to type on this computer, you will find the keyboard very frustrating. In part, some of the keys for backspace, delete, etc.are in different places than my last, an Ultrabook, also light and easy, causing me to go to other lines, fields, boxes, etc. when typing documents. Also, the space key is so difficult that it must use more force than nearly any computer in years to space in typing. Now if you don't type alot, this may not matter to you, but I wanted to make that note for anyone who does. It's slow at times, as well - No faster going from site to site, document to document, etc. often even freezing up requiring going to task menu to shut it down to start again! Ugg! Now this may be when I'm using Dragon software, but my other computer didn't do this. And no relation to this computer, but I HATE Windows 8!!!! The constant things popping up or rolling in the corners drives me crazy! It sort of meets my needs, but paying $958 with tax it far to cumbersome to deal with! It's too late to return, but I'm paying to have my Ultrabook repaired, regardless of the price as it is a much better computer! Not worth the price. If I'd paid $500 or so, I wouldn't be as upset, but not worth nearly $1000! Look elsewhere!

So far I am very pleased with the computer-a big step up from a Dell as far as price. I like that it is lightweight for portability. Glad to have Geek Squad set programs up for me. Hope my unusual glitch today of screen not coming up was a once only problem..

This is truly a laptop convertible. It's easy to use and set up. The picture is great. The battery life is also impressive. The only drawback is that there is not much hard drive storage and no internal disk drive.

Cons:
Solid state is only 128gb, making it unsuitable for storing music, movies and pictures on device.
Overall: great laptop if you need something portable and powerful. Considering how prolific streaming is, I don't tend to miss the storage space.

This is a very solid laptop with both the i5 and i7 processors. I buy them for use at work and have deployed about 50 of them with ZERO failures. The users love them. The best features are the light-up keyboard, the solidness of the keyboard, the fact that it is light weight, and the power. It can be used as a tablet, but if you are going to take written notes, opt for the Surface Pro. My developers use the i7 yoga and it has plenty of power to compile large applications, have several applications open, and drive multiple monitors.
