Comes with free hinge failure, buyer beware.
I have this model for my son. Here are my thoughts on this...not bad if you know what you are getting at this price point.

Display is dim but passable
Nice keyboard and build quality - has been very stable
Pen/touch input options are nice
Great performance on the Ryzen processor
Speakers acceptable
No display output on the USB-C port (data sync and charging only)

When I was shopping for my other son, I ended up opting for the one below instead open box for a similar price (better build quality, more storage, and you get the display-out functionality on the USB-C port, which is huge if you want to use an external monitor or some kind of all-in-one docking solution with these things).

EDIT: I should add that I have Windows 10 on the original model and Windows 11 on the Yoga 6, and I much prefer Windows 10 so far.
Wish the screen was brighter

They mute the screen brightness on these middle tier laptops.

You have to go up $200-300 to get 400 nits or more.

Hopefully, this will change in 5 years as tech advances and low brightness screens aren't made anymore, where high end laptops get 1000 nit and mid tier get 400-600 nit. Phones are 600 nit. this is also a battery issue as higher nit are power hungry.

I can second this. Hinge quality is terrible as the plastic around the hinge cracks. Our laptop is basically a desktop now.

Me too, bought a Lenovo a few years back. First the screen failed which they repaired under warranty, the hinge failed shortly after the warranty lapsed.

I had a terrible experience with Lenovo. Absolutely horrible customer support. Bought a lenovo laptop a few years ago and it was Defective. Blue screen when it got warm (not hot). They delayed and delayed doing an exchange. Finally I returned it. Got a refund. Not for the MS Office license though, since I opened the envelope., though I never installed it. The Office license was tied to Lenovo and could not be installed on another machine. MF'ers ripped me off $125.

Meanwhile I've had 3 Dells that have last 6+ years. Just swapped in faster/larger drives and added RAM. My current Dell was purchased in late 2016. I'm shopping for a new Dell because I spilled a full cup of coffee on this one. Now one USB port is shot…
