Customer Ratings & Reviews

Like many before me, I did lots of research on this product (and other comparable laptops - Dell XPS 13, HP Spectre 13, HP Spectre 360 - I did not consider a Mac as they are too overpriced for the specs you get) before I purchased. I chose this one (mine had the glass lid) due to the aesthetics, the specs, and the dark keyboard on the silver case (makes the keys really easy to see). All the computers I considered would have been adequate for my needs - office work when home, web browsing, email etc. There is a lot of comments about the fan noise and here is my take: When I first booted it up, I went straight to Windows Updates and took care of all of them (took about 30 minutes). The fan ran pretty continuously and loudly through that process (was not obnoxiously loud to me). I next went to Lenovo's website, created an account and then entered my product info (serial number). Once done, I clicked on support for this product and then went to the Drivers Update section. There were numerous driver updates including the BIOS update - all in all there was about 10 driver updates to take care of. I updated all of these (took 30 minutes or so) and the fan ran continuously and loudly through this process as well (again, not obnoxiously loud). Once that was done I added all my photos, documents, and music to the computer (130 gb of data). Fan ran intermittently and sometimes loudly though all that. After that was completed, I uploaded my non sensitive files to my Google Drive and the fan ran intermittently again. Once all this "homework" was completed, this laptop has been very very quiet (can barely hear it). Fan kicks in briefly now and again at a very low level for 10-15 seconds and to me, not bothersome at all. As a good reference, I have been using this computer this morning for work for the last 3 hours and I have heard the fan all of 4 times, each time being about 20 seconds then it shuts off. Of note, I will say that there was one Lenovo Driver Update that got "stuck" and kept trying to install itself so i had to go into Task Manager and stop the process as it was causing the processor to work at 30% and the fan would run continuously. I uninstalled that driver update, went to Lenovo's website and re downloaded it, reinstalled it and the issue resolved. I purchase a Logitech Anywhere MX2 Mouse to connect via Bluetooth and that frees up my USB type A 3.0 port and the 2, USB type C ports are free unless charging. I have no need for USB thunderbolt ports at this time so that was a complete non issue for me. Once all my personal 130gb of data was transferred, I will not need much in the way of fast transfer speeds or thunderbolt connections. To extend the battery life, I then went to the Power Settings and created my own Balanced settings that I prefer. I turned off all things that run in the background that I do not use and I am happy to say I am getting about 10 hours on a charge which is more than plenty for me. Regarding the keyboard, I find it stellar. The black keys with light grey letter/numbers on a silver case makes it extremely easy to see the keys, even in low light. When low enough the keyboard light turns on. The much mentioned Right Shift Key is different but has been a non issue for me after typing for a week. My fingers have already "learned" the new position and I have no more errors now than I do on a different keyboard. I recommend you download a 4k picture and use it as the desktop background as this will show you what the screen is capable of....stunning actually. I have used this laptop now for about a week since all the above was done and I have found that it is lightening fast, runs quiet and cool, looks amazing and has been a pleasure to own.

I just bought this laptop yesterday. And I fell in love with it. But then the fan started going off - Then I read the reviews with all the noisy fan problems. I tried the bios thing. Still the same. Clearly Lenovo, you have a problem to address and it's not getting solved by the solutions you suggested. So unless you plan to fix this, I am returning this beauty and going with the HP.

This is the perfect laptop. Except two issues, one small, the other utterly annoying. 1. The fan makes an terrible whistling noise. I dont mind fans being on in general, but the high pitched whistle is very bothersome, shameful for a $1500 machine. Not only that, but it comes on far too much of the time. I would often have no apps open (task manager showing low cpu usage) and have the fan continually running with its whistling noise. Lenovo has tried a bios fix, which I have applied and turned on, but only have minor improvements in *when* the fan turns on, yet its still on half the time and still makes that dang whistling noise. 2. The shift button is a very bad engineering decision. I have 14 more days and unless I find a solution will be returning this laptop. Its a shame. I really want to love it.

I tested this with Vegas Pro rendering HD video. Compared it to XPS 15 Quad core. As expected the XPS performed better in the rendering; 38 minutes compared with XPS 18 minutes. However, reboots, program installations and everyday functions were very similar. So if you are an every day user, this is a fine computer. I prefer this form factor. Very comfortable and solid. No real bad fan noise, so this one was good. I bough the Yoga open-box at Best Buy online, but returned it since Best Buy failed to include the charger for the laptop. They included old Nokia earbuds instead. Way to go Best Buy! Beware of open box from the online store.

I am one of the few "techy" girls that loves techy stuff. I have an early 2015 MacBook Pro which I love and will not give up and since Windows 10 I am also a windows laptop owner. Recently owned a HP Spectre 360x and Dell XPS 13. Both were nice but after seeing the Lenovo 910 I knew I had to have it. The 4K display is like no other, just beautiful. The speed of the laptop as well, like no other. I haven't had any fan issues or any other issues to date. The shift key debate is neither a pain or a plus and also there is an app you can change what keys do what so that you can have the shift key closer if you want. All in all, I love it and it is definitely a good buy. Thanks

ok i just bought this and so far it seems a-ok the fan noise dont see how others say its way loud mine aint, so far no louder than like are on full size lap top or desk top. my issue is i know that asus 13.3 Q302 and 304. windows 10 you can choose the updates to be installed like windows 7. on this one you dont have that option i dont know why windows 10 is windows 10. the finger print log in is cool but have to set up pin and pass word i understand why yet should be able to do fp. and not ask ur choice to login. if finger print didnt work then ask for other options to login. the unit is quite high dollar. no dvd cd drive one usb port. hope the unit is built to last.

The Yoga 910 has the potential to be a great everyday laptop, however, I'm seeing a couple of quality issues and see others have too. I purchased mine about a week ago prior to making a business trip. For the past five years or so I've had various Surface pro models. My latest Pro 3 is having some problems and I feel I need a slightly larger area for typing for my hands to be more comfortable and a bit more screen real estate. For work I'm a software manager and my laptop is typically plugged into two additional monitors. The Yoga is not going to make it to the office as I will be returning for a couple reasons. 1. The trackpad is defective on my unit. I've compared it to a couple others that were on display at multiple best buy stores. Its hard to describe the problem in writing but the best I can explain it is that there is play in the pad and it's loose. You can hear an abnormal clicking sound with just the lightest touch. None of the store display models have this issue. 2. The fan is loud and remains on constantly. The battery is also draining fairly quickly but I believe it's due to the fan constantly running. I've tried adjusting brightness and monitoring back ground applications, but nothing seems to work. I've also checked for system updates both through Lenovo's utility tool and Microsoft updates and all is up to date. The hardware side of the company I work for always orders Lenovo's and they've seen quality control issues like this before. I don't think I'm going to buy another Lenovo. Still in search for another machine.

Very rugged, battery last all day and very impressive power. Grab the 512g version. only one con: same as Apple MacBook pro no SD car slot but there's one USB slot

I originally purchase an open box item of this same laptop. Unfortunately, the battery life didn't seem to function as promised (less than 4 hours on a full charge and rapidly decreasing, less than 3 hours after only 20 minutes of we browsing, etc..) so I exchanged it for a new unopened item. My daughter and I love the screen clarity...the 4K is gorgeous. It also spins up quickly. I could change this review to a 5-star if someone could advise us on how they are getting 8-10 hours of battery life on the model with the 4K screen. Some of the reviewers claim to be getting that...I would love to know how. We just don't seem to be getting close to that at all and we do use the battery saver mode and the screen brightness is at 50% or less at any given time. We are not running any hard-drive intensive programs or large scale games or movies and still cannot get near the promised battery life of 9-10 hours. I agree with others that reviewed and found the shift key placement awkward/troublesome. Following the advice of the Lenovo expert regarding KeyTweak, I did swap the key functions and problem solved. As the key tops just snap in place, I even carefully removed the two key tops and snapped them into place so the keyboard reads the way I remapped the keys with the right shift key second from the edge of the laptop and the Up arrow key on the outside edge. The fact that Lenovo has a suitable answer for this odd key placement begs the question of why they would set the keys up that way in the first place...? Anyhow, it is easily fixable so if you have read other reviews and that is the only caveat in your mind, buy this laptop and follow the advice for using KeyTweak. It's a no brainer. As for the rest of the laptop, it is gorgeous and the construction and feel are solid. The touchscreen works well. The fingerprint scanner works well and significantly speeds up the login process. There is almost no bloat ware loaded on this machine which is a definite plus!!! Good move Lenovo. For the price, the solid look and feel, the gorgeous screen and the quick processing I would definitely recommend this beauty...with the KeyTweak!

This is the ideal laptop I have been looking for, But pls someone help to solve this noise problem. It is really loud even the usage is below 30%. I have try to update the BIOS suggested by another post but it said my system doesn't need any update. Lenovo please help to solve this problem. Before that I really don't recommend anyone buy this laptop.

Let me preface by saying that I'm a software developer, and I never liked working on laptops. I was always a desktop guy - give me a decent CPU, plenty of RAM, full size keyboard, and at least two 27" monitors, so I can run all my Linux VMs and all the compilations without any hiccups. But recently I've found myself meeting with customers more and more often, and that requires a light but powerful laptop which I can carry around. Initially I tried to go with 15.6" ASUS laptop, which was powerful but too heavy. 13" laptops screens are just too small for me. So this Lenovo 14" 4K display is a perfect balance between portability and size. If I put my glasses on, and scale the fonts down, I can fit a lot of useful info on the screen. The screen is sharp and just simply gorgeous. The laptop is light enough so when needed I can balance it in one hand, while typing with the other hand. There are only 2 minor but annoying problems: Issue #1. As other mentioned the infamous fan noise. Yes, I did update the BIOS to the latest version which was supposed to fix this issue. But even when laptop sits idle occasionally fans will kick into a high gear. The noise is not terrible, and I'm not planning to return the laptop for that reason. But it is still mildly annoying. Issue #2. USB 3.0 port on the right hand side of the laptop fails to accept some of my thumb drives with the error "USB device not recognized". I tried 5 different USB thumb drives (some of them USB 2.0 and some of them USB 3.0). All of them recognized by any other computer I tried them on except this laptop which fails to connect 2 out of those 5 USB sticks. I updated the BIOS, I updated drivers, I called Lenovo support (not much help there) - still no solution. And before you say anything - no, the USB port on the laptop doesn't seem to be defective, because it recognizes the USB Hub, and other USB sticks (both USB 2.0 and 3.0).

The display is absolutely beautiful, very bright and sharp. The key board is a pleasure to use, has a nice travel distance and feels good under the finger. Ive had two other Lenovo laptops and each one had a minor problem from the beginning and, unfortunately this one is no exception. The fan is extremely loud under load. If they fix it before the return period expires I'll keep it.

So I really like this laptop. I read many reviews before actually purchasing. I was upgrading from an Windows 7 HP laptop that was constantly running at high CPU (ie loud fan) so when I read reviews about the loud fan I was very worried. However, all the other specs and the price for those specs sold me. Having used if for about 3 months now I can tell you the fan that does come on occasionally is NOTHING compared to previous laptops I have used. for the most part it is whisper quiet. Pros: Quiet Fast The screen is very nice. I love being able to flip the screen around and be able to use it in a tablet form or fold it so that I can prop it up on a table and only see the screen for movie watching. Bluetooth is great and has connected to many headsets and speakers without issue. Very thin and light weight (not surface pro light) but feels sturdy, not like a piece of plastic Cons: THE KEYBOARD! so I had read the complaints about the placement of the right shift key but did not think too much about it as I normally use a wireless keyboard and mouse. However, any time I use this keyboard I get SO frustrated. I will for sure need to see about getting a keyboard mapping software and changing the up arrow to the shift key! Very annoying! Though I do not use the web cam often I have to admit that the placement of it is frustrating if you had to use it in laptop mode (the only way I would ever use it) I have had to use in in a conference call once and the view for my audience was not pleasant (and not because of the subject they were looking at) All in all I would for sure purchase again as I only use the laptops keyboard maybe once a week and hardly use the web cam. The pros far out weigh the cons.

so at maximum brightness its really white, however as soon as i lower one brightness i see little yellowish color on my 4k screen and this really disrupt me.. unlike apple macbook the color of screen should stay white regardless of dimming screen brightness.. any idea to fix this? i'm really thinking about returning it because of this yellowish reason. and i'm not on paper screen mode either.

I purchased this laptop with great enthusiasm and indeed, the touch screen was amazing. I played with it for two days before I even tried doing any basic typing. It was then that I discovered the glitch (which was the reason some of my passwords hadn't worked until I typed them one-fingered): the small right shift key was simply too small and too far away, and -- crucially -- was not a mirror image of the left shift key. I kept hitting Enter or the Up arrow instead, which was serious. I have been touch-typing very effectively for years on standard keyboards, and found it maddening to have to keep thinking every time I came to a capital letter: is this letter on the right or left side of the keyboard? I spent three days trying to retrain myself, and then decided that was ridiculous: when paying this much for a laptop, I should at least be able to type comfortably and accurately on it. I regretfully returned the laptop (I just loved the beautiful touch screen, and it appeared to be a solidly made laptop). This issue should affect only fast touch-typists.

So I purchased this computer in November and right out of the box, I noticed that the fan was super loud...I thought it would get better/ it was just because it was doing a lot of downloading. However, whenever I did anything the fan would turn on and it was super high pitched. So, I exchanged it in hopes it was just a software/hardware issue. It wasn't. The fan was quieter but still there. I was super impressed with the screen quality and the touchscreen worked wonderfully! The 360 was super cool. Honestly I wish the fan would have been quieter because it was so much cheaper than a mac, and was cooler.

yoga 910 has great 4k screen, very thin and very light. like it

The laptop is overall pretty good. Beautiful screen, nice design and very thin. I would love it but a few things are becoming major issues: 1) Shift key is tiny. You'll end up hitting the "up" key every time. Takes a while to get used to and affects day to day workflow. This is a minor issue though and I fixed it by using the program sharpkeys to reassign the keys. 2) This is one of the major issues. The laptop gets very hot, especially when watching videos on youtube. In my lap, it's close to scorching. 3) The other issue is that the fan seems to run non stop. Not only is the laptop still hot, but the fan is always running and is super loud. Doesn't matter what you're doing - organizing files, running excel/word, browsing the internet - it's always on. I checked the Bios and it's up to date. I want to love this laptop like I did my last, but might end up returning or selling if these fan/heat issues aren't fixed.

This Yoga 910 is my 2nd Lenovo laptop and I love it. But I've had problems with the touchpad sensor. Within 3 weeks of purchase I had to exchange it for another new one but I'm having the same exact issue on the new unit as well. The touchpad sensor randomly stops working so the only way to access things is to actually press/click the touchpad down. Restarting the laptop fixes the issue but for a brand new laptop, 2 units in a row at that, this shouldn't happen. I didn't have this problem with my previous laptop which I had for 3.5 years. Otherwise this is a fantastic laptop. I do wonder if others are having the same touchpad issue though? I've already taken 2 trips to my local BestBuy once to buy, 2nd time to exchange for a new unit but hoping I'm not forced to go a 3rd time if this problem persists. I'm hoping for a response from the Lenovo rep that responds to reviews on here to perhaps enlighten me with a solution.

For a laptop $1500. You would think they would make fans quite. Everything about this product is absolutely fantastic. Sound,screen,specs the sound card for headphones just breathtaking. Streaming music over bluetooth to bluetooth headsets not the great quality. I installed BIOS update and bunch of other updates from lenovo website and it still didn't help with noise od fans. Took my lenovo laptop to business meeting. Few mins of use the fans kicked in, everyone gave me a look. Luckily, I brought pan and paper.
