Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 refurbished - $636 AC + tax Shipped

Anyone know if the build quality is strong? Im kind of worried after watching the commercials fliping this thing around that it might snap.

Finally got mine today after ordering it on January 27. My refurb appears like new, don't see any scratches or issues.

Couple of things:

1) partition hotfix doesn't work for me. It just pauses on DISKPART and does nothing. At least for the last hour it hasn't.
2) Fan does run constantly though its not very loud
3) Screen is not as sensitive as an ipad or smartphone.
4) Tablet mode is ultra cool. You can very easily bring this thing to the gym and watch movies on an elliptical machine or whatever
5) Trackpad is garbage. I saw there was a pdf on how to fix it which was 5+ pages. Not cool.
6) Keyboard is very cramped as others have said. Might be okay once used to it
7) I don't see any LCD light bleed though I haven't cranked the brightness and hunted for it yet.

Overall I'm impressed but this isn't a home run device IMHO. I may keep it, I may return it. Yoga 2.0 will probably fix all the above problems. Might want to wait.

Quote from couponhunter : How can you even began to compare this to Surface (that will release on Feb 9)? Yoga: 3rd Gen i5, 4GB upgradable RAM, 13.3", 1600x900, 128GB SSD Surface, 3rd Gen i5, RAM non-upgradable, 10.6", 1920x1080, 64GB SSD All I wanted was a 13.3"/14" laptop with 1600x900 resolution and priced under $600. Seems like there are none!

To each their own. To me, you left out the important parts:
Surface: Thinner, and nearly half the weight and digitizer with included pen.

3.5 lbs will be hard to hold for long periods with one hand.

First experience with Lenovo's Depot warranty service isn't exactly impressing me. I went so far as to include a document in the package with the Inventory Control Sheet outlining the nature of the problems, how to reproduce them, and what I had done to troubleshoot.

However, I received notification that the repair was "on hold"; when I called in they asked me what the issue with the computer was and how to reproduce it. That doesn't exactly install confidence that the unit will be repaired when it is returned. I really had hoped the Depot would be able to pull of the repairs, but right now I'm leaning towards simply boxing it back up and completing the RMA once it is returned.

Just an FYI update in case anyone else has bugs in theirs and considers the Depot option before RMA'ing.

a few more yogas popped up in the outlet today

returns probably

Hmm was tempting, but if it had a 256gb SSD I'd consider it over my XPS 12 i just ordered. Think I'll keep the XPS
