I've only had a few minor details that I hope a re related to programming issues and not the laptop itself. Sometimes shows system failure and I have to restart. Also window 10 wiped out my previously loaded Lenovo home page.

I have been extremely happy with the speed and ease of use. Only complaint I would have is it seems the battery runs down a bit fast but since I have a Nokia 1520 phone all portable batteries look bad in comparison.

Lenovo is late with drivers/updates for this device for windows 10. Its very usable BUT not perfect for win10. If you use it mostly as a laptop, its great - fast & responsive. Automatic conversion to tablet mode is hit-or-miss under win 10.

Picked up a second one of these for my wife because I liked mine so much. Can easily put it in power saving mode with a dimmed and get 10 hours on an airplane with mixed use between DirecTV Geniego programming and WORD/EXCEL. When combined with a plugable, it makes a great desktop as well. Will not provide extended high performance, but the portability and weight is fantastic.

I researched several systems and originally wanted a tablet with a keyboard. But I found that I needed more processor. I wanted small, portable and powerful enough for my work and play needs. This really does it all.
Like other systems, there are early issues with some key features not working well with Windows 10 but I hope they will be fixed soon. Lenovo and Best Buy have provided great support throughout the process.

I bought this because I wanted a laptop that would last several years without becoming unusable. It's powerful enough for general multimedia use and the battery lasts all day in class when being used to just write notes. It gets pretty warm when used for watching video for long periods of time and after 30 minutes or so of YouTube or Netflix the framerate will drop if you aren't using an outside cooling source (like a lap fan). Don't expect to get much video game use out of it, but It does run World of Warcraft fairly well, even without fan underneath it.

Was told that this is the newest and greatest in touch screen light weight lap tops from Lenovo using the Intel Core M. I have a older Lenovo and love the yoga feature for use in my business. However the Core M is taunted as a non fan cooling chip, but the bottom of the lap top does get really hot making me wish there was a fan there to keep it cool. I had read reviews that it was internet slow and thought that it must have been the service that the user was on. Not the case, I find it loads pages slow and is not a quick as what Lenovo has advertised or my older one. I really had thought of returning it for something else. But had already loaded all the working apps I needed. Not worth the money spent on it.

Got this computer because I wanted something very light for travel.
So far I am very satisfied with my purchase. A lighted keyboard would have been nice. Otherwise, a great computer.

I had been trying to decide between a Microsoft Surface and a Yoga 3 Pro for months and then I found this laptop. The surface was a better size, but hard to use on the lap. The 13.3 inch Yoga was bigger than what I wanted. Then I saw this one. It's not too big at 11.6 inches for the screen, but having a full laptop is helpful for doing work on the go.

Great Small Laptop - Bad Geek Squad

This is the second review I have written for laptops purchased at Best Buy and both have a similar theme. I purchased an Open Box item to cut the cost and got a much more affordable product in both cases. This time around, the Lenovo Yoga 3 must have been returned and then worked on by Geek Squad. While they upgraded it to Windows 10 they did not restore originally available Lenovo software like the OneKey optimizer program which I personally think is great as it makes power management and resource optimization much simpler than using Windows options.
As for the laptop, I am very happy with it. I have used it in laptop mode and tablet mode and both work great. It is very lightweight and compact yet it has a 1920x1080 screen, Performance ig good and boot time is awesome due to the SSD. Ilove the fact that it came with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD as most of the other convertibles like this come with a 128GB SSD and only 4GB of RAM.
I have read reviews saying that the screen does not flip around automatically when used in different positions and that is just not true. When used as a tablet you can use it in either a typical landscape position or in portrait mode.
Battery life is fine for me, especially if you remember to switch operating modes from high performance to conserve mode if you want to extend usage. On that note, one of the things I do not like is that the small power adapter is not universal at all.
Finally, my other complaint for Geek Squad is that they must not have tested this unit very well. Mine has a speaker which does not work but I am willing to live with that based on the great deal I got!
I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for an ultra-portable, especially if you can get it for a good price.

I had a gift card to use, and had been looking for a smaller 2 in 1 computer. In talking to the staff, they recommended the Lenovo, which we had been looking at for awhile anyway. I liked it because it had solid state drive, which my IT people at work all recommend. I haven't used it much yet, as we have another computer that we use for daily things. One of these days I'll have time to really sit down and work with it. The only negative is that it was advertised as coming with Windows 10, but I had to load it as it was loaded with 8. No deal breaker, however.

It's a decent laptop, like the idea of it being a tablet and the yoga feature is nice. However once you update to Windows 10 first week it came out features weren't working touch screen, auto rotate, still having issues with keypad on screen in tablet, have to have gotten a "Windows 10 assist" to open it voice activated. Overall great.

The computer light and fast the harmony program it came with caused problems so I removed it. Some of the apps it came with were discontinued..... I have not upgraded it to windows 10 yet because it may cause it to slow down But it's a great traveling computer and the battery gives you sufficient hours between charges.
