[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this laptop for a month. Performance is great for the general day to day office work I do, Tablet us comes in handy after hours when I am just browsing or taking note in OneNote during a meeting. The stylus works great just a little small for my hands but having a storage and built in charging is makes up for that. Biggest disappointment has been battery life but luckily I am normally working from home or at the office and can keep it juiced up.
The PC is as solid as always. I have a previous model from more than 3 years ago when DDR4 came out. They did not offer it then and they still don't for some reason. It is supposed to be faster than my older one but it is not quite as fast which is disappointing. They did away with the separate Ethernet port so now I have to use a USB version (not great). The wide port with the proprietary connector for a dock has replaced the USB-C. Also not great. They took away the microSD slot. Now I need to have a USB drive on the side. This in not preferable since they can get sheared off when they slide in and out of a laptop bag. Lots of losses here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Built-in stylus storage, sturdy CNC-cut metal chassis, excellent battery life, lightweight, Windows Hello IR, 4K, touch screen, and Yoga flip around design all add up to the most advanced beast of a laptop I've ever seen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great 2-in-1 laptop in Thinkpad line. Light weight, yet powerful. I had a Surface pro for years but never really used it as a tablet mode nor used the surface pen very much. But when I got my new Yoga, I found myself constantly take out the pen and use it navigating on the touchscreen, because it's so easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent laptop. I purchased this laptop for the build quality and famous keyboard, and I was not disappointed. No discernible flex when handling the laptop. Keyboard has deep travel and nice tactile feedback, especially given the relatively thin body. I was initially hesitant about the 4K HDR screen because of the extra cost and drain on battery life. But now I cannot imagine having any other screen. The colors, brightness, and contrast are amazing. The screens on my other laptops look poor in comparison. Because of the aluminum top chasis (heat conductor), the laptop does get a little warm, but it never gets uncomfortably so (with the caveat that I typically do not engage in CPU intensive tasks). The magnesium base (another heat conductor but less so than aluminum) helps with the heat. But the cooling fan is silent. With the ambient noise in my apartment, I never even notice when the fan starts spinning. The hinges are solid, and the laptop screen does not wobble. The laptop converts easily to a tablet, which I find comfortable to use.
The Comet Lake i5 is fast enough for my needs. Love the IR Windows Hello camera. The Dolby Atmos speakers are also amazing. No discernible distortions even at high volume, and the downward firing speakers do get very loud. Note that the top speakers are intended only for higher frequency sounds, so you may not hear sound coming out of these upward firing speakers at all times (but they do work).
Only minor complaints are the absence of a microsd card reader, less than accurate fingerprint reader, use of LPDDR3 instead of DDR4, and typically low quality camera.
