Question

Windows Touchscreen Laptop with SSD

by Mar 10, 2015 4:16AM PDT

Hi All,

I want a touch screen laptop with SSD for Photo editing and general usage. Dell XPS 13 was kind of over my budget. So I got this Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro from Best Buy. But it has some issues with the yellow color which upsets me. Its better with BIOS and Energy Manager Software update, but not really yellow yet. And Ubuntu is completely greenish yellow.

Everything else I liked with this laptop.

I still have couple more days left for returning this.

Thinking of buying another one if anything meets my criteria.

What I need is:
i5 equivalent or above
8GB RAM
SSD (preferably 256GB)
Touchscreen

Am not really worried about the form factor. OK with classic laptop or hybrid like the Y2P.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Clarification Request
Did you calibrate the color?

My son got a Pantone Huey to pull the color back into place. Some folk forget about that.

I don't want to spend on a hardware for calibration.

Then color will be off on almost every laptop.

Outside of the Apple models my son has had to calibrate colors on each laptop and display. There's a big business in HDTV calibration too.

The last TV i purchased i was shopping around for an installer for Onkyo 7.1 home theater system and 58" samsung plasma. I got 2 quotes one was 1500 and other 600. The guy with the 600 didn't charge extra for calibrating and he calibrated the picture and the sound. The other company specified 200 for the calibration.
