Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 user reviews

Pros Lightness, Speed compared to other ultrabooks, and the easy that it is to upgrade ssd and memory ram. The graph quality is fine and I can even play some really good games (Black Ops II, Mass Effect, Etc..) in medium settings.

Cons That only can be upgraded up to 256GB of ssd.

Pros - design
- speed
- touchscreen

Cons no keyboard light

Summary For $999 great machine. I love the touch screen. I see some ppl complain about the sensitivity of the screen, I think its great. I love the form factor and how it switched to tablet. The exposed keys don't bother me as I only use it in tablet mode when in bed. It rests good on my knee while Im laying down. I have an ipad and I don't use it anymore. The only complain i have is that for $1000 it should have backlid keys. Not a big deal would be nice to have. I think this is the best touchscreen PC money can buy for the price. The res. on the screen is also good, I see some ppl complaining that its not 1080P but once again, this laptop is $1000.

Overall extremely happy with it

Pros Flipping this PC to different positions -- tablet, keyboard, stand (great for long hours of usage), and tent mode (for viewing at a table) is extremely useful.

IE -- switching btw. webpages is a breeze + it predicts what you want to view next!

Cons Wish it had a pen for use on legacy apps, to more easily click on small points.
Hard drive is small.
I really wanted the orange color, but BB didn't have it.
Some Windows Apps suck -- especially the Mail app and the Flixster app.

Summary The flipping design is incredibly useful for this touchscreen ultrabook/tablet. Being able to prop this up into stand mode or tent mode is so much more comfortable that having to hold a tablet for hours on end, and for adjusting the viewing angle.

Internet Explorer for Windows 8 is freakin' awesome. Switching between pages is a breeze, and it can even predict what page you want to view next (it predicts the future!).

Hoping Lenovo will release a pen accessory for this soon.
Hard drive is small, but I have a free cloud service.
Some of the Windows apps either suck (e.g., Flixter and GMaps) or need more work, such as the Mail app (only pushes my Yahoo mail notifications every 15 minutes), and the People app won't import my Yahoo contacts or Gmail contacts.
Overall, though, I love it!

Pros -Keyboard is easy to type on, and it feels good to.
-Easily converts from tablet to laptop with no interruption.
-Convenient screen rotation lock on the side that disables when it is in laptop mode.
-Bright, responsive screen.
-It feels very sturdy.

Cons -Not a lot of apps, and those that do exist are often more expensive then they would be in the App store. (i.e. Fruit ninja costs $5 compared to $1-3.)
-Sometimes gets a little warm.
-Windows 8 touchpad gestures can get a little annoying.

Summary I use the Yoga for doing school assignments, playing light games (such as fruit ninja), watching Hulu, etc. Nothing too intense. I love the Lenovo Yoga, it's perfect for me. It's surprisingly delightful to have a laptop with a touchscreen. There are four different positions it has: stand, laptop, tablet, and tent mode.

A lot of reviews for the Lenovo Yoga say they use it mostly in laptop mode. I have not found that to be the case for me, I only have it in laptop mode if I am typing something long. The onscreen keyboard is fairly easy to type on, I can get about 25 wpm, on the regular keyboard I can get about 50. For surfing the web or watching a video, I usually flip it around to one of the other three.

It is heavier then the average tablet. I can hold it, it's not that heavy, but usually I rest it on something. I thought it might be annoying to have the keys on the back, but it doesn't really bother me.

I would definitely reccomend it to someone in the market for a hybrid, from the ones I've tried, it's the best laptop, in part because it is a laptop that happens to have a touch screen and can bend back all the way and be an awesome tablet.
