Be very careful. I purchased a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro a year ago. Core i7 with 8 meg ram and 500 gig SSD, The thing is light and blazingly fast! I love it.
One day I was opening the lid and I heard a TICK and all of the sudden things started jumping around on my screen like I was dancing my fingers across. The digitizer cracked from one hinge to the opposite corner. Lenovo wouldn’t cover it under warranty so finally I relented and they said $600 to repair. Then they didn’t have the part to repair it and suggested I contact their certified service partners Radio Shack, Best Buy or EBay. Yep they suggested Ebay as a service partner.
I was incredulous and said really... I am going to surf ebay to find a broken down Yoga to fix the screen on my $1400 laptop? They said yep. So eventually I found a place called 365laptoprepair.com out of California. They have the part for $349 and will install it for $50. I got them to fix it and it is like new.
I still love my Yoga but I am really careful with it and will never buy another Lenovo product...
Since the SurfaceBook is supposedly manufactured by MS I wonder how that is going to tick off Lenovo, Asus, HP, Dell etcetera.
After their superfish spyware fiasco, I’d be very wary of purchasing anything with the Lenovo name on it.
I didn’t buy the Yoga, I would never buy a Lenovo product myself. Someone at my company purchased a few without asking my advice and I had to do IT support on them.
Already on one of them the screen went out, probably due to that design flaw with the hinge. Luckily I was able to fix it by cracking it open and reseating the connection from the screen to the motherboard. Otherwise, I would have been searching for a replacement screen too. Laptop wasn’t even a month old too!
