I had one and the touch screen stopped working on it within the first couple months. Lenovo wouldn't do anything for me. They offered to repair it but I checked online forums and a ton of people who repaired laptops ended up with far more issues than they started with so I just dealt with it. Recently I bought the HP Spectre x360 and absolutely love it so much more than the Yoga. My wife has had an i7 Yoga for ~4yr without an issue. I don't see others built like hers tho. The hinge seems cheaper on the website/modern versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hinge seems cheaper on the website/modern versions. The overall design of the Yoga was really good. It's sturdy and hasn't gotten loose or anything. No physical problems. The touch screen just went out for no reason. It seems to be a software issue, but there's no fix. There were a ton of threads full of what seemed like thousands of users with the same problem. Lenovo reps came into the threads and recommended standard trouble shooting fixes but none worked and they eventually just started ignoring and locking threads about the issue. Still no fix and it's been a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 My wife bought a Yoga recently for her job search and no issues so far. She loves it. We bought the extended warranty from Best Buy so we will go to them over Lenovo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the size, it's sleeker and more lightweight. It just looks beautiful and you can tell it's made out of quality material and not the shitty old plastic from my old laptop. The screen quality... holy shit! It has a beautiful fucking picture. I am in love. What an upgrade! The mouse/trackpad works so much better. I didn't even realize my old one was fucky until I started using this one now lol. What an improvement. Also it's great to know that the screen isn't gonna not work 75% of the time, and that it won't keep giving me random weird hardware error codes and that my hard drive isn't gonna fall out of the slot randomly anymore. I can actually dive into working from home now fully thank GOD. Oh and it's touchscreen! How fun. Thank you all for this beautiful hunk of technology. I will treat it really well. What a life improvement dear lord. That's fuckin awesome. Glad it turn out really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get over how wonderful this laptop is. I tried to go on my other laptop to get a file off of it and it wouldn't even turn on, which is normal for that piece of junk lol. So glad I have a computer now that is actually gonna turn on when I fucking need it to. 5000u might actually emulate Wiiu well. You could try playing Paper Mario Paper Splash on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
