Just like it's red, blue and silver siblings this Surface pen lives up to the fantastic design from Microsoft. Definitely no cons to it.

Lenovo Yoga 700 Laptop: Enjoy solid responses with this Lenovo Yoga 11.6-inch laptop. A responsive touchscreen ensures you can use it as a tablet, but when you're ready to use it as a laptop, the screen just flips around, and you can use the attached keyboard. A powerful Intel Core m3 processor keeps this Lenovo Yoga 11.6-inch laptop working efficiently.

Great Portability and Display
on June 18, 2016

If you're looking for a Windows 10 laptop that's easy to take anywhere with you and won't weigh you down this is a great contender. It's construction is solid, the metal upper and lower chassis lend strength to a device that's obviously designed to spend its life on the road.
The full HD screen looks spectacular on this 11.6" device. Keyboard doesn't quite have that 'lenovo' feel to it, but it's good. Would have preferred backlighting on the keyboard.
As far as processing speed, storage, and memory? For what this PC is designed for it's spec'd out pretty well; especially if you can get it on sale. The core M3 zips through just about anything you throw at it. 8GB RAM is plenty for document creation, media consumption, email, web browsing, etc. You obviously won't be hardcore gaming or video editing on this. 128GB SSD is a bit cramped, so if this will be your primary travel/work computer I might splurge for the 256GB model; just to 'future proof' a little.
I docked 1 star because while intended as a 2 in 1, when you fold the screen back into tablet mode you can tell the panel and bezel are under considerable strain in that position. Backlight bleed becomes more pronounced in the corners near the hinges which indicates stress on the panel and bezel so I worry slightly about the longevity of this device if you use it in 'tablet mode' often.
If you intend to keep it as a laptop and use it in the 'tent' position, you'll be fine and this should serve you for quite a while.
All in all, nice job by Lenovo in the budget & and travel friendly laptop department. (USB charging is a nice feature too, no proprietary AC adapter needed).

Not the Tiniest Footprint but Still Useful

A solid choice for docking your Surface 3 and keeping it viewable. Doesn't have the smallest footprint on your desktop, so if you're cramped for space I'd check out one of the smaller Surface docks.
Solid design, does exactly what's expected. If you can catch it on sale, you can't beat the price.

Because you can never have enough real estate

for your mouse. I was replacing my mouse and keyboard and figured...why not. The main difference of having the keyboard and mouse share a mat? The keyboard stays put and you have beyond enough space for your mouse to roam. Kinda ties the peripherals together on the desk, too.
Feels solidly made, anti-fray borders seems like it'll stand up for years. Definitely a solid buy.

Had to replace my old G5
on May 22, 2016
Posted by: downshift515
Verified Purchase:Yes
And fretted over choosing a replacement...the modifiable weighting and DPI scaling of the Logitech G5 was a dream to use. I always dreaded the day that it finally kicked. After about 6 years that day came.
I stood in the aisle in BB looking at the 'new' gaming mice and finally settled on the G502 because it had custom weighting and scaling DPI like the G5 and was a Logitech. I was not disappointed. In fact, I think I found a legit replacement for the G5. The R and L buttons have a great tactile click to them, the programmable secondary buttons are within easy reach of my thumb, and when weighted it feels just like the old G5.
The only complaint I have is cosmetic. I prefer the 'traditional' mouse design, and obviously Logitech went for a more aggressive 'gamer' look with this one. Not totally my style, but in terms of function and feel I think I'd be hard pressed to find something comparable.
The most liked feature the G5 didn't have is the 'fly wheel' option. Sometimes you just need to scroll all the way in one shot, not incrementally and with the press of a button you can do just that.
A worthy successor to the G5. If you were like me and had to say goodbye to your most trusted PC peripheral, you'll find a worthy successor in the G502.
If you can find it on sale (like I did on a site named after a big river in South America), BB will price match. Love that BB does that!
