Nice picture, voice quality lacking!
Customer Rating
3.0
The battery life is much better than my previous smartphone, can usually get 2 days although I work as an engineer CSX, and my phone is off while I'm running trains. The voice quality is deplorable though, im not sure if it is due to mike placement or just the sampling rate they use.
Photos are decent, I'm a SLR person so the lack of an optical zoom cripples it for me. Great for just recording things for shopping at the store, ie type of paint, filter needed, etc...
Although the screen felt huge at first, it has shrunk in terms of my seeing it as large, if that makes sense. I am not a fan of the small screen to fill things out online, watch movies, or get detailed reading information. I'll stick to my laptops, or iPad air for that.
The new note4 seems like it would be better or perhaps the iPhone 6+.
It has such a thin brick type format not good for long term conversations in your hand, not so much the weight as the shape digs into you hand, even with a soft case. They definitely need to rethink the format to make it more ergonomic.
All in all a good phone in a commodity market filled with good phones and getting better all the time!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Image quality
What's not so great: Plastic feel
Nice image quality, if you can get past the so so display and viewfinder, along with the plastic housing, you are in for a treat when you see the images this thing puts out.
The image stabilized lens along with the processor, and APS sensor, can pump out a photo that you would not believe came from this camera.
I hear movies are quite sharp and sound good, that is my next project with this little guy.
Good grip, light weight, easy to use in the house or field.
Get it with the tele bundle, you'll be glad you did.

What's great about it: Small size, very lite, wide angle screen, battery life
What's not so great: Wifi still not dual band, Back lite Keys, HD screen
This is the first machine in a very long while I just couldn't wait to go on sale. The 3rd gen version was a strong contender, but I really need the battery life to take it to the next level to justify the cost, (same price as 3rd gen.)
The multiple positions are nice and the fact that Lenovo has a select number of their own apps to highlight the position used makes it even better. I think most of users will opt for a favorite position seated and another for the bed or couch. I must say the half folded back for Netflix is very handy.
I had a small HP unit and loved it. The keys size and limited angle of view of the screen are not an issue as they were with the HP. Although the IPS display is not HD the colors and angle of view are easy on the eyes.
I wish BB had the tangerine version available, you wouldn't think the color would be such visual punch for the machine but it is, at least in my eyes. My unit however is silver. Has a almost soft top and bottom cover takes a little getting used too but, I can see this helps in holding / carrying the laptop around to keep from dropping it.
Only time will tell if the mechanical side will hold up. Lenovo 's usually have a good track record but wear on the keys and hinges may be an issue. Although as fast as things change now if it lasts 3 years it will be ancient.
I would recommend this to anyone who finds they travel a lot need something more than a tablet, has great battery life, can live with the spec's they bought it with, and are not satisfied with low end CPU's in many of what could be thought of as it's competition.
I got the last one at my Best Buy, and while there saw 2 others getting info on it. I am sure this will be a hot seller for them.
For con's I only wish they had pumped up the WIFI to a faster dual band my 14" ACER M5 touch screen also from Best Buy has 2x's the connection speed in the same spot. Although it hasn't lost a signal it sure would be nice to get it faster. Don't get me wrong Netflix, Utube, etc. stream fine. Also an HD screen would have been nice. Maybe it helps increase the battery life by keeping high drain items off or out, I don't know.
The SSD has a decent amount of space left even after the operating system, and hidden recovery section. With all the cloud options and ever cheaper high speed SD cards it has become less of an issue to most people. All in all a very enjoyable "lap top", however you wind up using it, very light weight as well.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, A nice compact size, easy to set up, lightning fast

What's the difference between this and the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
I'm deciding on this vs. the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. This is cheaper, but I was wondering what the difference is. Also, which one would you buy?
Biggest differences are size, and screen resolution.
