What's great about it: Extremely lightweight, Very fast, Great price
What's not so great: No DVD drive, only 2 USB ports
I walk to and from work and school every day, so I needed a lightweight laptop that didn't take up too much desk space. I've owned the Lenovo Yoga 2 2-in-1 (11.6") for about two months now, and it is perfect! Battery is great - keeping the screen at 100% brightness, I can get 6 hours of battery life. Multi-tasking is great - I use web browsing, MS Word, MS Excel, and Skype, all running at the same time with no slow-downs. Video streaming TV shows and movies online also have no slow-downs. The touchscreen and touchpad are both great and there's no damage or noticeable wear so far on the computer, screen, or power cable. All modes work well (laptop, tablet, stand-up, and tent), and the hinges that it folds back on seem to be very sturdy, but I don't switch modes that often (I use laptop mode 99% of the time).
Keyboard is a bit small, but totally comfortable - I can type comfortably for hours every day. Definitely try it in-person before buying if you have bigger hands though. In tablet mode, the on-screen keyboard takes up half the screen, which is awkward, but it's comfortable for on-screen typing. There's no DVD drive, but I bought an external drive for when needed; an internal DVD drive would have been nice, but it would be heavier and bigger, which would be a deal-breaker for me. Also, there are only two USB ports, but I haven't found that to be a limitation for me so far.
Everyone I know who has used my laptop remarks how lightweight and fast it is - and of course, they all love the touchscreen. I also have a touchscreen smartphone and a touchscreen tablet, and this laptop is a welcome addition to my technology.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, Perfect for Business, A nice compact size, easy to set up, lightning fast, lightweight
About me... Budget Conscious, Basic web surfing & emails, Student, Technology guru, Social media enthusiast, Business Professional, Comfortable with technology, skype use every day
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery Life

How many hours can I anticipate usage on a full charge??
I've owned my Lenovo Yoga 2 2-in-1 for two months now, and on a full charge, with screen brightness at 100%, I regularly get about 5-6 hours of battery life. Over time, the battery might not perform as well, and at lower screen brightness, it will last longer. The screen at 100% brightness is actually very very bright! :-)

printer capabilities

Is the yoga able to be connected with a wifi printer?
Yes - I use my Lenovo Yoga 2 2-in-1 to print things on my HP PhotoSmart printer every day (connected through wifi).
