||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer has excellent specs but the hinges used on the rotating screen are bad. They ended up cracking the screen. When Lenovo fixed it, they included more support for the hinges. I was irritated to say the least.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In general I'm not disappointed but I wished it had a little more umph. It can be a little slow with video. The other issue I am having with it is it keeps dropping the WIFI signal in my house. Other than those two issues I like it.

Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key.

Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults.

Laptop non-functional after 5 weeks!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a problem with the computer freezing up. My 15" Yoga started freezing after 3 weeks, and now it won't boot up at all. I have a MacBook Air that has worked for 8 years with no problem. Tried to take the Yoga back, but Best Buy won't take it after 30 days. Wow, thanks...

Not UHD graphics as the specifications say
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently bought this laptop due to the specifications stating that it had the upgraded UHD Graphics 620 in it, but in fact after running tests with Intel software for upgrades, it's actually the older HD Graphics 620. The UHD runs better, as it is boosted over the HD. This should be changed on the website so that it represents the real Intel card. I'll probably be returning this device as it doesn't play certain games that the UHD can run but which the HD card cannot.

Arrived Defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really liked the laptop, but it gave blue screen of error 3 times in 4 days after i turned it on. Wanted to exchange it for a replacement but couldn't cos it was sold out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood until screen came out and broke
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop worked pretty well until one day I opened it and the screen came out of the frame. When I put it back it cracked. I called lenovo and they told me that I have to take to the geek squad. They got it and told me they will review the incident. A week later I got a phone call stating they need my approval. They wanted me to approve a $270 repair????? Are you kidding?? The screen is coming out, a manufacturer defect, and lenovo/geek squad agreed that I pay for it? No more lenovo for me. Never trusted geek squad and never will. Amazon does better with a cheaper extended warranty plan.

Will not recognize finger.

Okay for 3 months now it freezes and shuts down.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this then realized it is too big for commuting to school, couldn’t return it because of Best Buy’s bogus return policy, even though it came out of the box once and was in perfect working condition. Now it can’t turn on for more than 2 minutes without having a mental breakdown. Don’t recommend purchasing, put your money into something that will last longer than 3 months.

hate this laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Way too sensitive. I have the sensitivity turned down as low as possible and I still have problems with weird things happening. Fonts and windows suddenly enlarging, texts getting highlighted, different windows popping open, cursor jumping to different parts of my texts. I've had laptops before, never with these problems.

Poor quality keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Processing power and display is decent. Keyboard is problematic - a few keys stopped working within first 3 months. Contacted Lenovo customer service within one year of the warranty period to replace the keys. They gave an estimate of 6-8 weeks. I am not sure if I would buy it again.
