I will refuse to buy a Lenovo until it fixes the infamous hinge issue that plagues many of its laptop lines (with ThinkPad being the sole exception).

I believe the hinge issue is only on Flex models and not on Yoga. Is there a way to get the i5 version to $550 ?

Consider the "Open-Box Excellent" for even bigger discount.

I recently bought the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14" last week.. opted for an "Open-Box Excellent" for several hundred cheaper, and it arrived in a fully sealed, seemingly new packaging! Warranty only had 9 months left, but I was able to contact Lenovo via website. I uploaded my BestBuy invoice which clearly labeled my device as open box, and they reset warranty to full 1 year from my invoice date.

same. my yoga (2019 model) right side hinge broke away from the casing. its mounted to the plastic frame with plastic rivets. it's junk. so i whipped up epoxy and filled it in. Yea, it worked, i can close my lid again, but now the WIFI doesnt work unless i sqeeze on that area. so not only the hinge broke, it took the wifi with it. and now i cant fix it, because its a big ball of epoxy right there.

cant even sell it now :/

Yes, the ram is soldered and not upgradable.

I think you're correct. I missed a sale on a 'Flex' two years ago, and ended up spending more (about $850 total) on a Yoga series 2-in-1. It has been rock solid and has no issues, hinge or otherwise.

Make sure to buy 3 years warranty. My Yoga 7 motherboard died a few days after one year date of purchase. Not everyone's experience may be the same. Overall best laptop i have ever owned.
