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
No 802.11ac wireless adapter, Keyboard complicates tablet mode, Disappointing battery life
This is a great laptop. If you were to take the Yoga 2 Pro back in time 3 years and show it to anyone—including a TechRadar editor—they would have been ecstatic. This kind of performance and a 3200 x 1800 screen with over three hours of battery life was ...

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 is an excellent ultrabook, even without digging into its hybrid capabilities. This new model adds a backlit keyboard and an impressive 3,200x1,800-pixel-resolution display, while keeping the price under $1,000
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
A major update to our favorite Windows 8 hybrid, the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is still a better laptop than tablet, but the new version adds a future-proof better-than-HD display at a great price....
Versatile convertible design, Good value, Outstanding 3200 x 1800 IPS display
Not ideal when in tablet mode, Limited connectivity, Screen is limited by software

versatile form factor, slim and light, simple and what looks like a reliable body, runs cool and quiet, excellent price
some color reproduction issues, battery life is shorter than expected, not the best selection of ports, rather slow SSD
While not without a handful of minor inconveniences, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is one of the best top-tier ultrabooks money can buy right now. It's sturdy and beautiful, in a very simple way, it packs fast hardware, a fairly good high-resolution display and i...
Pin, sharp 3,200 x 1,800 touchscreen, Decent price for a hybrid, Fold, over tablet mode
Heavy for a tablet, Mediocre battery life
The Yoga 2 Pro isn't the perfect choice as a tablet, and it also has a battery life that is slightly behind current competitors. However, the screen is incredible, and hasn't contributed to a hugely high price. With decent abilities as an Ultrabook, the ...
The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro has an MSRP of $1399.99, but is easily found for $1199.99. How is that possible? I'm still scratching my head on that one. For $100 more than a 13-inch MacBook Air , you get a 13-inch Windows 8.1 laptop that can transform into a tabl...
Abstract: It's one of the most Ultraboooky Ultrabooks out there. The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro sits with the Sony Vaio Pro 13 and the Samsung ATIV Book 9 as showcase devices that are fast, light, stylish and very very usable. The Yoga 2 Pro , however, differs in that it's ...
