great computer, replaced my Dell laptop. easy to use

Lovely design and best laptop in the market.......

Very nice computer. Would recommend it to everyone.

Except for a little pricey, everything works great.

I love this computer. It's so easy and fun to use!

Hybrid Type: I had a surface pro 1. Battery was horrible and couldn't set it on my lap using the stand. I wanted something I could prop up on my lap and not have to hold it with one hand. The yoga 2 pro is great for this. Really the best thing about the yoga is how you can pick any angle you want, and that hinge keeps things where you want them. Best mode for me so far is the stand mode. I set it on the edge of my nightstand and use touch to play Netflix/iTunes. For work I keep it in laptop mode. The two USB ports are a lifesaver when I need a few things plugged in. The keyboard is pretty good (way better then the surface type cover#. Only downside is the small right-shift key. I never use tent mode, and rarely use tablet mode #because its much better on the eyes to angle the screen up a bit#. Display: The display resolution is great for work when I need to have a view virtual machines running side by side #I use VMware workstation with Virtualization options enabled in the bios#. But.. remote desktop and many old programs do not know how to scale up yet, so I have set my resolution to 1920x1080 for now. Still looks good., and I just switch it back to 3200x1800 when I need the real estate. The colors are dull on the display. Lenovo is trying to find a fix, but from what I have read, the RGBW #red,green,blue,white# display causes issues with color accuracy by design. The extra white pixel or whatever, is there to allow light through to reduce power or something. It doesn't sound like there will be a way to fix the color issues 100% with this technology. You don't notice the color when watches movies, playing games, or even looking at photos. But you will notice it when looking at solid colors. For me, It kinda gets to me when browsing the internet and seeing mustard on webpages instead of yellow. But im now about to go return the laptop over it. I like the brightness too. I went to get a carwash and was able to use the laptop outside in the sun. The size is a better fit for me than the small 10" screen on the surface pro# I really need something larger for work# and my eyes are not as good as they used to be# I think 12" - 13" is the sweet spot for a hybrid#k Weight/Size: This is 3lbs, which is a bit heavier than the surface pro, but this has the bigger screen# I think this is fine for on the lap use and to carry around# I would probably use tablet mode #held with one hand# if it was around 2lbs instead# Yoga 3 maybe?# They could have made the bezel smaller, but im sure that would have increased the cost# Wifi: The Wifi card is N, and not AC# There is a $35 card people are buying that works in this laptop, and I will eventually buy it myself# but for now, I have never had any issues with WiFi# 100% solid# Not a single drop# NEVER# #I did update to the latest drivers when I first brought it home, and again a few days ago when another update showed up on lenovos support site## Trackpad: The trackpad could be a bit bigger# but works good after you disable the swipe gestures #my palm kept hitting the trackpad while typing and bringing up the start screen, or switching apps## You don't need the swipe gestures enabled on the trackpad anyways# #theres a freaking touchscreen in your face people! use it!## That being said, I do use a gaming mouse from Logitech, so maybe I don't use the trackpad enough to find much fault in it like others do# Battery life: I use the Lenovo Energy Manager "High Performance Mode" to improve the color brightness, which does lower the battery life# If I really cared, I could go and switch the windows power profile to something better each time to improve battery life# I keep it plugged in at work anyways# Once, I did a test to see if I could go all day without plugging it in# Lasted a good 6 hours using a power saver mode# Performance: The i7, HD4400 GPU, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD is quite a step up from my old surface pro# I can now run a few virtual machines, browse the internet, and watch a movie at the same time no problem# Games are a step up from the Surface Pro# I play Diablo 3, Farcry 3 #Yes , I play farcry 3 on this#, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, StarCraft II, Portal 2, and Skyrim on this# Some with lowest settings, some with middle settings# Most on 1024x768 to 1920x1080 resolution# This can handle it# Though I wouldn't rely on it for my only PC gaming #I have a desktop PC with a few dedicated graphics cards for serious gaming## I am hoping that 2014 brings 16GB, Quad-Core+, and 50% better GPU's to 13" ultrabooks# But for now I am content# Pen/Handwriting: One thing I miss is my Wacom pen with eraser and right-click button built in# I didn't use it much to be honest, but now that I don't have it I miss it# I was in a meeting the other day and tried keeping notes using my finger in one-note### yeah I gave up# I have yet to go buy a capasitive pen to see how that goes# To be honest, if the thinkpad yoga was the same weight as the yoga 2, I would have waited# Playing diablo 3 with the pen while laying on the couch watching football was fun /nostalgia# anyways, people buying the yoga 2 don't care about inking or notetaking so much, they just want a touchscreen and tablet mode# Lenovo Apps: hand gesture controls: I wish more programs supported this #iTunes /coughcough## It would be so cool to be browsing the internet or playing a game, and just use a hand gesture to switch to the next song in iTunes# I did try it out using the Lenovo music program and it was pretty cool# voice controls: unfortunately dragon assistant doesn't want to work# When I say "dragon wake up", the program crashes# hoping for an update soon# I want to get to the point where I can be laying in bed and just tell my laptop what to do# Reaching my arm out to touch the screen is far too much work# Windows 8#1: Not unique to this laptop, but I like the split screen snapping# Microsoft really needs to dish out a few million to get popular apps ported to windows 8# The Microsoft store is still pretty barren# I mean, cmon!

Looked at the Microsoft, but the price/value relationship of the Lenovo was a lot better. Even bought the two year service plan.

I returned this. WiFi is slow and it's an awkward size to use as a tablet.

crashed a few times in first 30 days - had to return and get a new one.

The good: The light weight is outstanding. It's easy to carry and stow, which is a blessing for travel. The display is remarkable - vibrant with eye popping resolution. The multiple positions (e.g. tent, tablet) seem like a gimmick, but you appreciate the versatility. There is never a time when you say, "gee, I wish I could turn the display this way." The hardware configuration available at Best Buy was unavailable anywhere else and step above. For example, all else being equal, you received a faster chip for the same price found on any other website, even Lenovo. The bad: The battery. No way to the claim of 9 hours, even with the recommended settings. Though I get there are compromises to be made for a thin profile, the keyboard is terrible - mostly the key travel, shape and feedback, which leads to typing errors. The wi-fi issues at the outset were abysmal and well-documented. After some driver upgrades, it seems that Intel has it dialed in.

I researched multi function laptop/tablet PCs before purchasing this Lenovo product. Overall it works great, especially with the SSHD drive. I have had intermittent problems with the video flashing on and off periodically, for no reason. I sent it back to the Lenovo repair center once already, but it is still having the same issue with the display.

I don't understand Microsoft's strategy. Window8 is most horrible operating system among I've ever used.

Overall the technology is good although the screen is somewhat smallish I would like a bigger version.

The battery life on this laptop is bad. Sold to someone and bought a MAC. Mac is way to go.

You would expect for 1200$ the quality of the product to be great. That was NOT the case. The computer came with several inexcusable imperfections. Firstly, the Touchpad DID NOT WORK. This was unacceptable. Secondly, the keyboard keys were not level. For instance the key H was slightly bend towards the left, and these are the things that once you see them, they can never been unseen. Lastly, the drivers for the yoga are simply horrible. For instance, when I'm in tablet mode, the keyboard correctly does not work, but when I revert to laptop mode in a few occurances it didn't work either!! I wan't able to fix the laptop myself and currently it is beeing fixed under warrantly in Europe. I am left without a PC for the last week and expecting to stay so for at least onother two. Best Buy was lucky that I wasn't in the US for the trial period, otherwise this is a product I wouldn't hesitate to return. Vedrict: Buy something with lower specs but higher quality.

Traded it back in within 2 hours for a macbook pro. Couldn't get my email to work on it.

Windows 8 took too long to learn. Decided to go to a Mac.

Need to take it back . Wont turn on or charge. I have made only 1 payment on it . .

Overall I like it. It could have used 1 more USB or Ethernet port.
