A PC I Don't Hate

I chose the Yoga 2 Pro over the latest edition, the Yoga 3 Pro. The 3 uses Intel's "M" processor. While the M is better for battery life, this model's i7 is a bit more of a workhorse than the M. The Yoga 3 has some aesthetic upgrades, and the newer hinge design may be sturdier, but I'm gentle on electronics, and the 6+ hour battery life #after some app and software tweaks# is a fair trade-off for the additional processing power.
I keep a Windows PC because of my company. Otherwise, I'm fully immersed in the Apple universe.
The Yoga 2 has a gorgeous display, a nice Mac-style click pad, and the ability to multi-task with ease. It comes installed with several Lenovo apps that you may or may not want to keep. I love the screen size, too. Big enough to be a laptop, but not ridiculously big as a tablet.
Oddly enough, my favorite feature is the actual texture of the product. Unlike my iPad or Mac, the Yoga 2 feels secure in my hand, with a grippy feel to the outer shell. The texture of the deck is almost rubbery, which is a plus for me. I have no concerns about using this on bare legs in the summer.
My issue is the power button. Lenovo took a cue from tablets and placed the power button on the side of the deck. Since this is primarily a laptop, I feel that the power button should be ON the deck, like a traditional laptop. As it is, I have to look at the power button to turn the computer on- it's flush and not easily discerned by touch.
Honestly, it's something I can live with. This is my first foray into ultra book territory, and I'm extremely pleased.

How is the Intel Wireless Display activated?
The product description lists Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) as a feature but searching on the computer doesn’t show anything for Intel WiDi. Does this require a software download?
The Intel WiDi refers to the computer's built-in display. Unlike a traditional laptop, the Yoga 2's display isn't wired to the body of the computer. It does not refer to an external display.
