Add stylish protection to your Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 2 11 laptop with this Lenovo slot-in case that features an elegant design. The cut-outs enable easy access to your laptop's ports, while the interchangeable functionality caters to most viewing modes.

Slip on case that offers minimal if any protection for the Yoga but it will keep the puter' from opening accidently on you and protects from minor scuffs and scratches. The case also does not have any handle or other provision for carrying, althoughit with the Yoga being so small and light it is really easy to carry around without any handles.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S-59385438 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Lightweight and slender, the flip-and-fold design of this laptop makes it well-suited for productivity on the go. It also functions as a tablet or a touch-screen display in tent and stand modes, and includes voice assistant software for hands-free interaction.Learn more about the New Windows ›

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good little computer that is just that, a computer.
I had originally purchased a tablet from a different manufacturer but after a couple of weeks I finally figured out that it just would not do all of the things I wanted it to do. Thankfully being Christmas I had a period of time to return the tablet and get the Yoga.
I also looked at the MS surface and a Sony with a removable keypad, but the Sony required that the keyboard be connected and closed to allow it to charge and the surface is much more expensive for the same feature set (but the keyboard is removable if that is a plus for you.)
The Yoga is small form factor and therefore every thing about it is necessarily small. With my aging eyes that means that I do have a hard time seeing things and I have to switch to the 3 power readers to see what I am doing!
I have found that I rarely use my regular laptop when there is something that the Yoga can do. It has really good battery life 5+ hours of just doing regular computing (don't watch much video so I cannot say how the battery life is on that aspect,) No it does not have a huge amount of memory, nor does it have a lighted keypad( which I really wish it did.) It works as a laptop, a tablet, it has tent mode also if that is the way you roll.
It really does everything that I want it too and what more can you ask for? I paid $700 on sale and that is almost as much as I paid for my full size laptop but I don't feel like it was overpriced for what I received.

Good air flow, a little wobbly

Works good for the price. Good design for air flow but my Sony laptop is a little unstable when using this cooler due to the same design. I have a Targus cooler that is more stable but the Fan's (it has two, Belkin has only one) make some noise sometimes when first starting up after a year of usage. Goes away after about thirty seconds of usage so far. This has only begun in the last couple of months. The Targus was also about $10.00 more expensive when I purchased it.
What's great about it: Good airflow, price
What's not so great: Small in size and is a little unstable due to this fact.

Memory and it's large and it works.

So far so good but it's memory so it should be OK. Never had any issues with any SanDisk memory so I am hopefull that this situation will continue with this stick also. Love the large capacity. It's the largest stick that I own so I don't have previous experience with 64 Gb but I assume that it will do as good a job as the 2, 4, 8. & 16 Gb SanDisk sticks I now own. Checking around this was about as good a deal as I have found. Paid $59.99 for 64 Gb. Less than a dollar per Gb, that's pretty good value in my book. If issues arrise I will update my review.
What's great about it: Lots of memory , small size, easy operation
What's not so great: Nothig so far excepting that it was't free!
I would recommend this to a friend!
