Lenovo Yoga 910 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Keep the game going with this Lenovo Yoga notebook. Its 8GB of DDR4 RAM is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor for speed, and its 14-inch screen can be converted to a tablet, tent or stand setup thanks to its 360-degree hinge. This Lenovo Yoga notebook includes a 256GB solid-state drive for file storage.

I bought this laptop as a replacement for the yoga 710 that had several problems (as listed in its reviews). This is the new 910 with a significantly better battery life, more reliable mouse, stable screen, and overall feels way better than the 710 which honestly felt cheap.
Here are things to consider.
1 - MINIMAL BEZEL is amazing, but I did prefer the screen set up of the 710 - the screen comes incredibly close to the top part of the lid and I am very careful when opening the lid.
2 - only two usb-c and one usb 3.0 port. I have not run into any issues yet with the minimal number of ports.
3 - for all the complaints about the fingerprint reader, it works 90% of the time for me.
4 - the keyboard response, in my opinion, is better than the 710. very easy and smooth typing (and I write papers everyday).
5 - the mouse is 1000 times better than the 710 or previous models. previous yogas had major issues (from what I've read and tried in store) with the trackpad, such as, the left click not working and finger swipes not responding. No problems with the new 910 so far. However, beware, it is very slick and slippery, I would go almost as far as saying there is almost no grip on the trackpad.
6 - speaking of the screen, the hinges are by far the best in the market. Incredibly stable and the screen does not shake AT ALL when typing. This is definitely something you should consider when looking at other laptops.
7 - 14 inches in a 13 inch body, lots of screen space (really makes a difference).
8 - for all the complaints about fan noise, you can minimize it by going into the bios and changing the performance to "quite mode" (google for directions). so far I have not see any difference in performance or speed, and it does reduce the fan noise significantly. I do not game or do any advanced video editing, so I cannot speak for that, but for everyday work, online browsing, and watching videos in hd, no problems with the fan noise.
9 - the 910 is definitely an improvement in quality. the body feels much stronger but lighter than other models.
10 - as written in previous 910 model reviews, the camera is definitely in a weird position (but I rarely use it so I don't care).
11 - the box comes with a regular usb-c charger AND an extension cord.

I can definitely see myself using this computer for the next 3-5 years.
