Thoughts on Lenovo Yoga?
« on: Fri, 26 April 2013, 13:22:47 »
I have been looking for a laptop. First. I thought I wanted a gaming/powerhouse laptop. Then an ultrabook. I was thinking about geting an Android, ipad, or windows tablet. It seems the windows8 tablets may be more productive. Another interesting tablet would be the Samsung note.
Anyways the Yoga seems pretty nice and I have yet to find any bad reviews on it. Has anyone heard of any Yoga cons? Or pros even.

Cons: It is an IdeaPad, not a ThinkPad:  No user-replaceable parts except memory. No buttons on the trackpad. Only two USB ports. People have had various problems with the trackpad and keyboard. No Ethernet port.

Pro: You can bend the screen backwards more than 225°, stand it up and there is plenty of space for a mechanical keyboard on the desk in front of the screen. ;)

I agree with this.

As for getting an ultrabook, have you considered any other brands?

I have to agree with Findecanor,  It is not a ThinkPad, which to me is the pinacle of mobile computing.

Samsung, ASUS, Acer... Lenovo just seems to be priced the best.
The Yoga just seemed like a nice choice. It is an i7 tablet essentially.
