So, I would just think of it as a regular laptop with tablet ability for very rare occasions. The tablet mode of the Yoga is interesting and fun at first, but the reality is that after a couple weeks I stopped using it that way. Having said that, I am looking forward to seeing if Windows 9 brings improvements.

As for the OS, they really both do the same thing and I am as comfortable on one as the other. Also, and maybe this is a Windows issues, I like having a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port because for some reason a couple of my older devices aren't recognized when plugged into the 3.0 port. I got mine in Tangerine because it's my favorite color. It also comes in different color options. IMO, it is far better suited to people like myself who sometimes walk around with our computers in one hand. The materials used on the Lenovo are also very high quality and the softer texture makes it more comfortable and less slippery to hold. Anyway, while aluminum looks pretty, I get tired of people saying it is higher quality. I just wanted to point out a couple things since I also have an older aluminum MBP, which is also a fantastic machine. I have the first version of the yoga 13 and it has been a fantastic machine. Updated 8/17 to clarify that the Yoga 2 Pro has a hybrid plastic/metal build. And if you're eyeing the Yoga's 2-in-1 form factor, you can see how it sizes up against its competition in our Windows 2-in-1 Comparison Guide. If you just want a damn good laptop, then it's still hard to beat the Retina MacBook Pro.įor more on the Retina MacBook, you can read our full review of the late 2013 13-in model. Of course that argument would assume that you're at least as happy with Windows as you are with OS X, and that you actually want a transforming device that tries to do two things at once. It has a sharper screen, double the storage in the entry-level model and can serve as both tablet and laptop. Going off of that price, you could make a strong argument for the Yoga 2 Pro as the better buy. We'd imagine this is some house-cleaning, in advance of the next-gen models. But if you hop over to Lenovo's product page, you'll be able to snag the Yoga 2 Pro for $1,000. Technically the Yoga 2 Pro starts at $1,400. The Yoga technically starts at US$1,400, but you can snag one now for $1,000
