Great Price!
on August 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this small form factor desktop when it was on sale for $490. For that price, this desktop was quite a steal. Before booting the desktop up, i upgraded it with a 500gb SSD for better performance (applications load faster), another 8gb ram stick, and a low profile GTX 1030 GPU for seamless 4K playback @ 60hz (the motherboard HDMI port is only HDMI 1.4 so it can only support 4K up to 30hz).
The i7 in here performs very well and with a bit of undervolting, the CPU temps do not go over 64 °C (without undervolt, the max temps top out at 75 °C). Fan noise before the undervolt is bearable, but after a modest -160mV undervolt to the CPU, fan noise is nearly silent!
Overall, this desktop with its small footprint is definitely worth the $490 price tag. Would strongly suggest that if anyone buys this desktop, at least buy an SSD to upgrade it to make use of its full potential (just noticed that there is also an M.2 slot but i am not sure if it is PCI-E or SATA, but at least if you buy an M.2 SSD, you can still utilize your SATA port bigger mechanical drives, ie HDDs).

Almost Perfect
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: VangTfz
Verified Purchase:Yes
1080p screen, 16gb of RAM, and 512gb SSD packed into a slim 2-in-1 chassis. Pretty great specs for only $1050.
Pros:
- The battery life is quite decent; i am a developer and can get around ~7 hours of work in before needing to plug in again.
- The keyboard layout is great and the key travel makes it not too bad to type on.
- The touchpad is very smooth and accurate; it is a windows precision touchpad so all the Windows 10 gestures will work fine.
- The 1080p IPS panel is decent and has bearable light bleeding.
- The speakers are actually quite good; they get pretty loud and do not distort much even at high volumes.
- The chassis does produce quite a bit of heat since the unit is so slim but it does not get uncomfortably hot when sitting on your lap. Using ThrottleStop, i was able to undervolt the CPU by 85mV which keeps the max temperature when under load to 75°C (tested using Aida64 to stress system and HWMonitor to capture system temps - without undervolt, the max temps under load reach a toasty 88°C).
Things i would've liked to see though are:
- Thunderbolt 3 USB type C ports (currently the left port is dedicated only for charging and the right port is a USB 3.1 for data and display out).
- A PCI SSD (there is a SATA SSD with ~500 read/write).
- A decent 1080p webcam for video conferences.
- An easy way to toggle the fn keys on/off without needing to go into the BIOS.
Overall, this is a great portable laptop for a very competitive price when compared to other 2-in-1s.

Great System
on April 30, 2017
Posted by: VangTfz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Comes with a Ryzen 5 1400, which is not listed in the description, and is easily overclockable (i was able to overclock to 3.85ghz and maintain stability). Added a SSD with 32gb of ram and this system does not disappoint. The RX 580 provides a great gaming experience - 1080p gaming usually gets 60+ fps!

Great laptop with a few things to be wished for
on December 20, 2016
Posted by: VangTfz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this laptop is great. The 4k screen is crystal clear, the 16GBs of DDR4 ram is very appreciated, the SSD read speeds are blazing fast & write speeds are not bad, and the i7-7500u CPU is very snappy!
Yet there are some things that this laptop still has me wishing for... For one, the right shift key is smaller when compared to most standard keyboards; it took me about a week to train my pinky to get used to it so i wouldn't hit the up key but it would have been more ideal if Lenovo just stuck to a more standard & familiar keyboard layout. Secondly, there are two USB type C ports, one of which is USB 2.0 (used for charging) and the other which is USB 3.0 (used for data transfers and display out)... not sure why Lenovo didn't make both of these ports Thunderbolt 3 (or at least one of them) as this would have made the Yoga 910 more versatile and future proof. Lastly, the bottom bezel of the screen is extremely thick and not to mention, the camera is placed there... the bezel doesn't bother me much but i did wish it was not as thick. as for the camera, it makes it hard to carry video calls when the top half of your head is cut off and all the camera can show is the inside of your nostrils...
Gripes aside, one thing for sure though is that at this price-point of $1299, you won't be able to find a laptop with equivalent or better specs.
*There are some reviews that this laptop has loud fan noise. I can confirm that it did have loud fan noise when i first purchased it but on 12/14/2016, Lenovo released a BIOS update to address and optimize the fan noise. Since updating the BIOS, i have noticed a reduction in the fan noise (at least 40% quieter) so kudos to Lenovo on addressing that issue.

Best Android Phone Still!
on April 27, 2016
Posted by: VangTfz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have had my Nexus 6p for over 2 months now and am pretty happy with it! The phone is very snappy, never stutters, and switching from app to app is a breeze. It is also good knowing that i'll always be on the latest Android OS, so thats a big plus! Only thing i would have wished for was a micro SD slot for expandable storage, otherwise this would be the perfect phone :)

Is the outer lid of this laptop literally glass?

The texture of it feels more like plexiglass than glass itself.

I'm having scaling issue all over the place. I've found trick to create "manifest" file and in some cases it resolves the problem, but the text appear unclear. With 4K display some apps act not properly. The mousepad is not working sometimes (on Chrome)

Not sure what the question is to be honest... But i do agree, there will be scaling issues due to the nature of how Windows appropriates the scaling responsibility to the softwares themselves. This means that software(s) have to be developed to be scalable and if they are not, then it will be obvious as they tend to have blurry text the higher you scale up the resolution.

Does the system get hot?

Under full load (CPU utilization of 100%), the laptop does get hot. Using Hardware Monitor Pro, i can see that the laptop can reach temperatures of 95 degrees Celsius.

Please confirm how many usb ports there are compared with the regular 910. The Best Buy site lists one more conventional one for the special edition than for the regular one, however, an early demo in-store model showed the exact same number as old one.

There are three USB ports. Two of them are of the USB type C form factor (one is USB 2.0 and the other USB 3.0) and one is of the USB type A form factor (USB 3.0).
