Heavy and bulky for a tablet
1MP Camera is a disappointment
Display has some flex
Hard to find Power button
Only a single USB 3.0 port
Power button is a bit too recessed and difficult to push
The screen is such a high-resolution that there are things that will not be comfortably readable
Windows 8's ecosystem hasn't caught up to this screen's resolution
Making this laptop falter in desktop mode
Anti-glare coating on monitor leaves a little to be desired
Shorter battery life than competing Ultrabooks offer
Awkward power-button placement
SSD has below-average speed
In battery life it lags behind a couple of more expensive higher-res laptops
Some of the hybrid modes are of dubious use
And Lenovo still doesn't know what to do with the keyboard in tablet mode
The keyboard rests on your table or lap in tablet and presentation modes
Single band WiFi
Only one USB 3.0 port
The display resolution sounds insanely high and it is. Thankfully
The laptop ships with Windows 8.1
Which handles display scaling better
Dearth of ports
Off-center touch pad
Tablet mode leaves keys exposed on the underside
Low-res Webcam
Only one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port. Could use a bit more battery life. Some older apps have problems with scaling. Keys still exposed and clickable in tablet mode
Weak typing experience (for a Lenovo laptop)
Limited selection of I/O ports
No ethernet
802.11n Wi-Fi adapter (no 802.11ac)
Ultrahigh resolution is somewhat of a gimmick
Causing compatibility problems with many applications
Deck has a propensity to collect debris
SSD is a bit slower than average
Tablet form bulky compared to detachable devices
Only average battery life
Hinge tends to wobble
Jumpy trackpad
None that I found
Relatively short battery life
Keyboard still exposed in tablet mode
Some undersized keyboard buttons
Hi-res screen is not fully supported by all applications and even
To some degree
Windows itself
Sub-par battery life for its class
Intermittent wireless issues even with latest drivers
Throttling is frequent and immediate under full system stress and
If you're looking for a tablet, usually the question is “Which Samsung or Apple tablet should I get?” but I'd say to toss Lenovo into the hat there. The 13.3-inch Yoga 2 Pro is just $499. That's the price of the entry model iPad Air 2 from Apple which...

So, what's our overall take on the Yoga 2 Pro? Well, it's a true bargain at its price point, allowing for a truckload of usage scenarios without compromising at all in the standard laptop department. It's all about function over form, save for its inflate...

Using the Yoga 2 Pro has been a treat I have to say. First lets talk about its size. The Yoga 2 Pro is truly meant to be portable. When you are holding it in your hand it really feels more like a magazine or book. Since it weighs in at just over 3 lbs it...

Thus far, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is one of those devices that works well, and is so close to being perfect. If companies like Adobe start supporting high resolution touch screens that will go a long way to help. Battery life thus far has been between 6-7 h...
