Locked on me within the hour I bought it. Something about a bitlocker key that the geek squad couldn’t even help me. Had to get a different computer

Description: Having a 2-in-1 is the best of both worlds. You get a notebook that you can turn into a tablet to use whenever you have the need for either one. This has a 128GB SDD (solid state drive). This is a small drive, but it is great for simple programs and its 8GB of memory make multi-tasking quick and easy. Multi-tasking and switching apps seem instant and the notebook never came close to getting warm. This comes with 2 USB-C 3.0 type ports (also used to charge the notebook), so you will need an adaptor to use your USB-A type cords. Setup: Setup is very easy. Just read instructions and follow setup from the computer. For security purposes on this notebook instead of the Windows Hello (using an infrared camera for face detection to enter computer), there is a fingerprint reader on the keyboard. Battery: I would say the battery life is approximately 8 hours of regular use, but can go up to approximately 15 - 22 hours if it is in the battery saving mode. Features: There is a web camera above the display. Nice backlighting for the keyboard. You can get online without WiFi, if you use the Verizon network SIM card. The Lenovo Yoga notebook is already set up for it (active account required). You can use a Lenovo pen with this notebook, which would be great for drawing. You might try other brands of pens, as they may also work with this. Recommendation: I highly recommend this because it would be great for a student, artist or someone that needs a notebook on the go.

Won’t stay connected to wifi zoom crashes several times per call

Windows trash , poor performance bad speed. Don’t works for QuickBooks software.

It uses arm, but is not well adapted to run anything.

Webroot will not install. Therefore, I’m relegated to use my phone.

My first impressions of this 2 in 1 laptop was that it is a solid, well built device. The extremely thin profile and super sharp screen are really remarkable! The backlit keyboard is everything you would expect from a Lenovo device. The keys are responsive with just the right amount of travel and firmness. The solid hinges allow the screen to fold all the way back making this a nice tablet when you want to watch a movie or you are working in tight spaces. I found the performance to be excellent as well although I di not benchmark it against any other machine. I have used many different laptops and this seemed to be faster than many. With 8GM of RAM, you should find the performance to be pretty smooth. If you are into games or need super graphic capabilities though, I don’t think this is the PC for you. The speakers on either side of the keyboard offer decent sound, but if you flip it over into tablet mode, the speakers are facing away from you and the sound is not as good. I love that this device supports 4G LTE. I spend a lot of time on the road and that definitely comes in handy. One minor drawback is that it does not have a USB port but it does have 2 USB-C ports. You will want to buy an adapter to keep in your bag. Now the problems. On one occasion, I got the dreaded blue screen. I didn’t have any strange software loaded so I am not sure what the cause was. I had to do a complete reset to recover and I was not happy about losing some of my data. I am also now leery of it happening again, so I have been storung all of my documents in the cloud just to be safe. Another problem I have is that I can not get a pen to work with this PC. I have both the Lenovo Active Pen and the Lenovo Active Pen 2 and neither will work. The Active Pen 2 will connect via Bluetooth and launch Windows Ink Workspace, but will not register any input on the screen. The worst part is that I contacted Lenovo support and they were baffled by the issue. The tech did not seem to understand that the Active Pen (first version) does not connect via Bluetooth as he kept asking me to try to connect it but couldn’t tell me how to get it into Bluetooth sync mode. I tried to explain that it did not have Bluetooth, but he kept asking me to press buttons. Finally he said that the pen must be defective! I asked if he meant both pens were defective? Silence. After two hours on the phone with Lenovo support, I just gave up. I am not sure whether this is a defective laptop or it is a software issue. Either way, this PC is just not ready for prime time yet. Since I received this as a test unit, I was relieved knowing that I did not pay for it; otherwise I would have returned it within a week.

When I first was reading about this Lenovo Laptop I was really intrigued by the fact that it is essentially using a mobile phone chip, and that all those years of hearing phone manufacturers say our phone is as powerful as a laptop would finally be put to the test. Well my answer to the question if the phone chips are as powerful as a laptop is....yes and no. Let me explain, The laptop runs great I never had any issues with it lagging or slowing down, but it does not run the same exact software as a full laptop. It is kind of a hybrid of a laptop and mobile device. For the most part it works and if you are just looking for something to surf the internet and type of some documents you will be just fine with this laptop. If you are looking for something that is a bit more intensive this might not be the best choice for you. I think this a sleek well made device that for what it is setting out to do it does well, I just think I was expecting a bit more.

I have been a recent fan of Lenovo products and when I picked this 2-1 up I was very happy that I did. This thing is very powerful and setup within a few minutes. I was excited to try a device out with Snapdragon 850 as I heard some issues on the earlier version. This device is working out great with the 850. I opened up a bunch of programs to try and test the speed and this worked flawlessly. I am not an IT professional so maybe those people may see issues but for a person in the engineering field this would a great computer for a sales or marketing person. It may run cad software but typically those software companies require i7 minimum. The speakers sound great and all I needed to add was a usb hub that had a usb-c connector and I could add additional devices.

Ill get right into it, this monitor is top notch quality ips, 8bit panel. Which you gotta look out for, I bought a 600 dollar asus tuff for 600 and it had a 6bit panel. I get 90 down 30 up on 4g lte by t mobile so that works fine, gets alittle worse reception than my note 10 + 5g. I bought this specifically to do 2 things, one watch movies in the woods mobile, and to play Ulitma Online a online MMO. I was a bit worried because all the reviewers said it cant play games, but they are wrong. This runs Ulitma Online fine once you switch out of windows s. Plays it fine for over 6 hours, which is better than any laptop I used. Now it has one problem, it over heats when it is charging so it underclocks the cpu. So you cant use this plugged in which is annoying. Maybe mine is broke I am not sure, there is no one else who has a issue like this, but no one else plays video games I saw on it. When I play ulitma online when it is plugged in, it skips after about 15 mins. It is a top end built laptop though, lighted keyboard,high end monitor, and good speakers.
