Ordered and it arrived in generic box, shipped it overseas (can't return for a refund unfortunately), worked for a few hours and now the screen is blank... I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYTHING FROM THE "RENEWED" STORE

I like the fact that the product is very lightweight, and also compatible with the latest Windows 10 Software! My only issues is that it does not have no Office Software installed!😬 otherwise it's ok so far!!!

I bought this as an "open box," which means that it didn't arrive with the original box. I'll live.First thing that I did was sign on to Windows 10 and created a recovery disk to USB. That took about two hours, I think. Then, I upgraded the RAM to 8GB from 4GB, because you can never have too much RAM. There is just one memory card slot, so you replace the SIMM chip, rather than add one.When I got home, I replaced the OS with Manjaro Linux, one of my favorite distributions. Touch screen works fine, although the keyboard is still active in tablet mode. But that might be an issue with Linux and not the computer.Everything works great, and I am super-impressed with this computer. The build quality is much better than I expected, given the price that I paid (less than $270).I'd probably move the wireless activation/deactivation to a physical switch and not assign it to a Fn key.This uses a quad-core Intel Celeron CPU, and this seems very responsive. Manjaro Linux runs beautifully on this computer.The hard drive space is adequate, because I store most of my files on Dropbox. Maybe in a year, I'll replace the hard drive with a 256GB version,.There is a cooling fan, but I've not heard it come on, but I think that writing and browsing the Web don't overtask the computer.By the way, the keyboard has a decent feel to it. It's not the same as a full-size keyboard, of course, but it's good. The right-side SHIFT key is sufficiently large - that's been a gripe for some laptops in this size category. It is not backlit, which isn't surprising at this price point.The trim around the screen bezel/laptop lid is hard rubber. This computer is being marketed to students, so that's probably a good idea, as that rubber trim should protect it against the occasional knock against walls, doors, etc.The dot in the "i" of ThinkPad glows red when the computer is turned on. That's sort of unnecessary.I have no complaints. This isn't a primary computer but it is one that I will use daily, and so far I am very happy with it.

I've had this laptop for a week now. This is a great on-the-go laptop--and at the time that I bought this, this was about the same price as a Chromebook, and it has full-blown Windows 10 on it, so this was a no-brainer for me.This thing is built like a tank. I found out why when I first unpacked the laptop--this is from Lenovo's "Education Series," so it's meant to take some punishment and abuse from kids. This is also one of the downsides to this laptop--this is a ruggedized version of Lenovo's regular Yoga laptops, which means it's also heavy and bulky. It's heavy when you're just carrying it around in a bag. It's heavier when you're trying to use it in tablet mode--to the point where, if you use this in tablet mode, you're going to want to keep it sitting on your desk or table. You're not going to be holding or handling a 3.5 lb laptop in tablet mode the same way you'd carry an iPad or other tablet.So why the five stars? Well--it's a perfectly fine entry-level laptop, not counting the weight issues. Don't expect it to replace a PC, but sure--this is a great workhorse tablet for students or for folks who need to do basic computer stuff (email, surfing the Web, maybe watching some movies or playing music) and also need to do some slightly heavier stuff, like use Microsoft Word or Excel. I think this is also a great backup computer to have around, just in case. Basically, if your computing needs are very straightforward, then this laptop is for you.

So, it's been 5 months with Lenovo Yoga :I had it on vacation with slow 'Net access, and at home with 50 Mbps download rating and measured close to it. Some observations.The build is very solid, the keyboard layout and design are the best I've had on a small laptop. Boot time is very fast. The dual mode tablet/keyboard is handy. I like that power button on the side, but that is personal.Preinstalled software, thankfully, did not include a lot of crap-ware. But out of the box the operation was slow. I left the preinstalled SW and added mine, specifically: LibreOffice (LO), FastStone viewer (photos), FoxitReader (PDF), Calibre (book format converter/reader), T-bird (email), PaleMoon (browser), and some uncommon tools: editor, cygwin, system monitoring tools.In this configuration the system was slow, very slow. So much so that Facebook page updates ran for up to 10 sec and Spreadsheet was lagging by 2-4 sec behind the keystrokes.So, after watching some activities I removed Windows Defender and replaced it with Avira Free; removed altogether MS Office 365. I could not remove Edge as it is tied to the other must-have apps; removed Live Tiles I do not care about, leaving just the minimum I use.In this configuration the system works just fine: LO Spreadsheet is responsive, FB is FB - loaded with crap and even though I block the ads, it takes 2-3 seconds to reload after the page is downloaded (as indicated by the monitor), which is tolerable. Other Web sites, not overloaded with crap, are fine. Amazon and eBay take time to download the pages, but once a transfer is complete reload pages in 1-2 sec.All-in-all, the processor and the image processing is not what I would like, but one has to decide on the trade-offs. Casual word processing, lightweight image processing, email, and browsing are OK. IMO, it’s usable, especially considering the price. Attached picture is a snapshot of loading a page from DPReview.Active use of WiFi plus image processing (viewing + some editing) will allow 5-6 hours of battery use; it's mostly the WiFi, I think.For those interested in Linux. You have to disable UEFI to boot it although Fedora claims to have a signature for it (apparently Lenovo does not support it). Fedora Live 25 boots fine and runs fine, faster than Win10, but it does not have touch screen support. It maybe be possible to make it work, but I do not care. I did not try Debian or Ubuntu (this latter might have a working touch screen support).When booting, hitting will take you into BIOS, but you have 1 sec at the right time. THE trick to know is to boot to Windows and hit restart button while holding Shift key. You get a menu with a selection to reboot directly into BIOS. Much easier.
