I want to recommend it and I hate that I can't.

I love mine and am happy with it. Here are my general thoughts on performance, features, value, and reliability from my experience.
• Performance is great but battery life could be more stable/consistent/reliable.
• Features are excellent. The multi-form/function of this machine is it's primary sell and it delivers. It also has the best keyboard I've ever used. Pretty much the only thing you can't do with it is wear it as a VR headset.
• Anyway you slice it, this is an expensive machine. Everyone's situation is different; plan accordingly.
• I would consider mine to be reliable; it's frozen on me once.

With that said, I have heard many user stories of screen ghosting, making the laptop unusable. Mine has not shown symptoms thus far, but I know mine is equipped with the same hardware and will not be surprised if the symptoms materialize in due time. Until I read that Lenovo has made an effective replacement panel available to everyone on old hardware, I cannot recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this machine

I am systems administrator who is on-call 24/7. I got the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga because my 17" laptop is too much to pack on vacation or for one day trips. My yoga is great because it is small and light weight so I can carry it around work or my house, and still powerful enough to run virtual machines and business applications. The various modes allow me to leave my iPad home and just have a single device. It is just a great machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great 2 in 1 Ultrabook
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
I've had the ThinkPad Yoga for close to a year now.
First off, the annoyances: touchpad (please give me back normal buttons and my TrackPoint), random "clicks" even with the track pad turned off (lots of times getting ticked off when a window gets closed in the middle of something), occasional screen orientation issues (probably Win8.1 related), sometimes I hit the power button just picking up the unit, OneLink is flaky, and finally how dirty the display gets is maddening at times.
What I like: relatively light for a high end ultrabook with heavy duty hinges etc., decent battery life (dwindling after a year now), you'll RARELY hear the fans running, even under pretty heavy load, 2 in 1 functionality obviously, and it's SOLID.
I will say that I was really excited about the stylus and handwriting, but I found that I rarely use it.
Overall, I'm very happy with it and I wish it was mine instead of my employers!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my Thinpad Yoga

Great combination of size, power and sheer convenience.
I use the computer for software development and it is very fast and capable.The screen is not very large but the portability more than makes up for it. I had to change bags because my old 15" laptop bag look ridiculously large.
I have the pen option and find it very useful.
I checked out other folding ultra books but found the Lenovo felt more robust.
The Lenovo apps and support make it a very good buy.

Thinkpad Yoga Review
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
Solid machine. Some quality issues around the keyboard and screen.
Wish it was 1 pound lighter.
Would have preferred either a full HDMI port or a display port. The mini HDMI is odd and requires adapters and is a bit fragile.
Hate the power button. The power button would be better on the keyboard deck. It is too hard to use in it's current position.
I really miss having disk activity lights.
I really miss having a caps lock keyboard light.
Would prefer to have a light on the wireless key.

Really like the Dock.
Would like it to come in other colors than black.
The Thinkpad logos have a tendency to peel off.
Support has been good, though some of the technicians are not familiar with the machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

the right decision
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
I labored over what I needed versus wanted in a laptop, and whether a "convertable" laptop tablet was really worthwhile. After deciding on a Yoga, I had to choose between the Yoga 2, Yoga 2 Pro, or Thinkpad Yoga. After watching lots of comparisons and side by side videos, I chose the thinkpad. I'm happy I did. Yes, it's a wee bit smaller and a wee but heavier, but after having it awhile and then looking at the Yoga 2 Pro it also comes off as sturdier. As I'm moving it around all the time and taking it on trips, and it's going in and out on my backpack on flights, I'm grateful for this. The keyboard is awesome, and maybe underscores why tablets will never be a be all end all. It's nice to have such a solid keyboard. The combination of touchscreen and trackpad is great.
I do think it's expensive. I got around this by buying it refurbished - same warranty, and same option for an accidental damage plan.
I'm happy.

Awesome portable tablet/laptop

I call it "tabtop" for tablet and laptop! I love my ThinkPad Yoga and I hope it'll work as smooth and as good as it is for a long time. Thanks Lenovo and hope I had enough money to buy the Tablet.

Great Pen Features in a Hybrid Notebook
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
I've been very pleased with the ThinkPad Yoga ultrabook. My primary reason for buying the ThinkPad Yoga was its Wacom-based pen mode (stylus included) which I need to use when preparing video whiteboards or teaching online classes.
PRO: The Wacom pen system works great with whiteboard software like OneNote. Its ultrabook capabilities make for VERY quick bootup (less than 5 sec) so I seldom bother putting it to sleep and just shut it down.
CON: Only one. The multitouch TrackPad may take some getting used to (I haven't fully) due to the small right-click area in its lower right quadrant. My finger seems to stay too close to this area so my left-clicks are often interpreted as right-clicks. It needs to be possible to disable this feature or reduce it to only the edge (most everything else seems to be adjustable).
OTHER: there are a LOT of Lenovo apps included, but in many cases it is difficult to figure out exactly what they do. A more comprehensive Users Guide would be a big help.
I would recommend this to a friend!
