Overall I've had a great experience with this laptop. Its fast and sleek but also surprisingly sturdy considering how thin and portable it is. It also came with hardly any bloatware out of the box, which I appreciate Lenovo for greatly. This is definitely the one to buy if you are looking for a more affordable 2-in-1.

However, there are a few things stopping me from giving it five stars.

The first is minor, but the trackpad is far less intuitive than what I am used to. So much so that it is actually more comfortable for me to use the touch screen and avoid the pad altogether whenever possible. The touch screen itself is near flawless.

The second drawback is the fan, like many other reviewers have mentioned. It never gets TOO loud, and it never lasts very long, but it is certainly noticeable. Especially in a quiet room. I'd understand if it spun up during heavy use, but it will start when I have only 2 chrome tabs open. Its not a deal breaker but I hope there is a bios update in the future.

The third and final problem almost caused me to return the laptop on day one. It simply would not run Chrome. Any more than one tab open and the browser would lag like crazy then eventually freeze altogether. I decided to wait another day to see if things improved, and was surprised to see that by the second day it had absolutely no problem running Chrome, even with a dozen tabs open and it doesn't slow down.

To end this on a positive note, the overall experience has improved over time (I've had it for about a week). I wish the battery life were a bit longer but its acceptable, and i'd like more than one USB type A port instead of 2 type C's but I knew what I was getting when I bought it. Photoshop cc runs great on this thing for the designers and artists out there, videos play well, and the fingerprint scanner is a nice edition and works great.

I would recommend this to a friend!
