A nice alternative to the Surface Pro 3
Customer Rating
4.0
I purchased the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 because at the current price ($1049.99) it is possible to get a much more powerful machine than the Surface Pro 3. To get the i7 processor and the 256GB SSD on Microsoft's system runs $500 more, not including the keyboard.
The system is nice and light with a responsive keyboard. I do wish the keyboard detached as it is a little awkward to hold this as a tablet with the keyboard (which does lock) facing downward.
I also wish Lenovo had a specific pen to use with the system, though it was not difficult to find one that does a good job.
Between the power and speed of the system I am very pleased with its performance. Anyone looking for a versatile ultrabook should consider it.
One more word of warning: Make sure you get this updated version from Best Buy (I don't believe they have any of the earlier production models anymore, but other retailers are still selling them). The new version has AC compatible Wi-Fi where the original does not. The original's Wi-Fi radio is widely reported as problematic, but the new AC radio works perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

is this laptop good to play pc games on like steam games ?
You won't want to use the Yoga Pro 2 for newer games as it does not have a dedicated graphics card, however it works well with less graphically intensive games, and older games. I have played a lot of Torchlight 2 on it with no problem, and the same goes for older Civilization games and even Knights of the Old Republic. However, newer games (Call of Duty, Civilization: Beyond Earth) require a bit more graphical juice than this has.
