I fixed my yoga with epoxy. It's way stronger than it ever was now. I might just epoxy the hinges down on this pos laptop before they break. If you look at them it's no wonder they do... Just two little plastic welds hold them to the back cover. It's designed to fail.

At this price point, it's probably worth the risk of hinge failure and limited RAM, but everybody should understand why this model with these specs is selling at this price point.

You are rolling the dice on this having any longevity. The hinges are a serious design flaw.

Yea, it's 256GB. I bought one back in May and when I contacted them to ask about the discrepancy and if I could get what was advertised they basically just said "Sorry, not sure why it says 512 but we don't have any with 512 we could replace it with". Seems like 2 months should have been more than enough time to fix their listing...

Photos also show a backlit keyboard, which it does not have either.
Lol buy their 512gb one and then return the 256gb one instead. Fight fraud with fraud?

Is there a guide for this? Just curious how you did it (I don't have the laptop yet so not sure how obvious your fix may be)

I guess I could do one... But just pop the hinge covers, mix up some epoxy, and slather in there. Push the hinge covers back on and you're done. Fyi, you'll never get the covers off again, so forget about future repairs, so don't break the screen or anything lol.

I'm not familiar with Thunderbolt port/standard. Can I connect a DisplayPort cable to this laptop and drive a 4k monitor together with laptop screen in extended desktop mode?

If you have USB-C/DP cable, then yes. Otherwise, you will need an adapter.

But you don't need to use the TB port for monitor. It has HDMI out.

They're playing games with the inventory to make people feel like they have to buy it now. When I ordered 3 hours ago it said two available. It still says two available right now.

I wish it could be charged with type c cable instead of needing a proprietary cable

Good info. Thank you.
It's still misleading either way.
