Design
Display
Performance
Key
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
Lenovo has certainly improved on its original offering of the Yoga series. The Yoga 2 Pro has a sleek design, is packed with a killer display and has a healthy amount of battery life to last you quite a long time on a single charge. It may not be at the t...

A major update to our favorite Windows 8 hybrid, the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is still a better laptop than a tablet, but the new version adds a future-proof better-than-HD display at a great price.
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, the second generation Yoga Windows 8 convertible Ultrabook. The 2 Pro offers the same versatile positions as the first gen Yoga including laptop, tablet and tent modes while losing weight and slimming down. The Yog...
Great form-factor; Fantastic high resolution screen; Rubberised exterior makes the Yoga really easy to grip; Accelerometer-enabled modes emphasising more of what a tablet can do; Decent battery life; SD card slot;
Keyboard can be a little cramped on the right side; Screen moves a fair bit if you touch it; Mediocre touchpad; Camera is only usable for web conferencing, and really, it could be better;
Lenovo has some interesting ideas, and we've certainly seen its Yoga concept before in the form of the Ashton Kutcher released tablet, but it's here in the Pro 2 Windows machine that the idea feels cemented and pulled off, executed better with an emphasis...

I've been using the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro for months now, replacing my MBA as my travel device. But what I didn't see coming was it becoming my daily driver. I use the Yoga 2 Pro as my everything machine, from writing news every day for TweakTown to writing ...
Abstract: We're fans of the design and engineering being done at Lenovo – the X1 Carbon is our “ BEST Ultrabook ” for 2014, and it's lucky – very lucky, because when the Yoga 2 Pro landed in the EFTM studio the X1 started gathering dust.In startling Orange, the Yog...
Good build quality, Excellent screen, Useful as both a laptop and as a tablet
Single-band Wi-Fi, Touchpad drivers not comprehensive, SD cards stick halfway out of the slot
There are only a couple of things we don't like about the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro (mainly its Wi-Fi module and the touchpad driver), but overall it's a fantastic product that's fun to use. We had no problems using as a laptop, a tablet, and as a display...
