Good laptop, a bit heavy, some glitches

This review is for a former Yoga owner looking at the Flex. Before this Flex I had 2 Lenovo Yoga laptops. I figured it would be a cheaper version of the yoga I grew to love. No, this is a much heavier and larger laptop. It has the same great keyboard, but it doesn't quite match the more expensive model. Why did I buy it instead of the newer Yoga? Well I paid about $1100 for my last Yoga which is almost the same as this one so I figured the prices would come down in 2 years and the new Yoga ($1600) just an over priced flex with some bizarre things was that didn't upset me. but no, there are significant differences. The weight difference is very relevant when traveling with your laptop (which in my case is the reason for having a laptop instead of a desktop and, for that matter, an Ultrabook). The screen is much darker. Battery life is the same as the Yoga (but only after the included inflatables are removed. Leaving auto-refresh on will drain the battery in a couple of hours). As in both yogas, the sound is pretty cheesy (that's what headphones are for). Those complaints aside, this is a good workhorse that can do anything yoga can do at a significant discount. extra money for yoga.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
