Seems I've read the Yoga's have more hinge issues than most 2-in-1's..? Specs definitely look on par for the price though.

What is the difference between the Flex and Yoga? Just bought a Flex for less but with slightly better specs. Not slamming this deal just confused. I do think the Yoga is supposed to be a step above the Flex but Lenovo's website is very vague as to why.

And yes, I realize the model I bought was a refurb. Only had for about 24 hours but very happy with the laptop.

I believe you've read wrong. It's most common in the Flex series as compared to the Yogas. The latter are robustly built. I have owned 2 Yogas, Yoga C940 and Yoga 5. Both have held up very nicely. The breaking of hinges or screen happens when you unevenly put the pressure on the chassis, that is, lifting up the lid/display from one corner instead of either doing it from the center or double handedly from both the corners.

Generally, Yogas are supposed to be all metal while Flex are plasticky, hence the former has a better built quality. The Yoga's usually had better displays but that line has been blurred. The former generally have a biggger battery too.

Addition to the points I mentioned above, if you do compare the two you'd actually see that most of those points are true. The flex in your link only has a 59Whr battery whereas this Yoga has a 71Whr. Displays are the same. LPDDR4 vs LPDDR5 on this Yoga.
Yoga is lighter and is all metal while the flex is plastic at the bottom. 2x TB 4 on the Yoga vs 1x on the Flex.

These are some of the differences (or maybe all) that I could find and point out. Hope I helped.

How would this compare to a Dell inspiron 14 - something like this? I had a yoga 10 years ago and loved it. I was just looking for general personal use 2-in-1 laptop style 13-14 inches most deals seem to be on bigger laptops.

I used to think so as I well but last year when I was researching to buy a laptop, there were people on here who personally said they had broken hinge with yoga as well.

For $100 more you can get the 16" with i7 processor: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/leno...d=6533950. The only drawback is weight: 4.49lbs

I swore off Dell laptops long time ago as compared with Lenovo. Not sure about the Flex line, but their Yogas (had C940 and old Yoga2) and Thinkpads never let me down. I was given Dells at work and hated each and every one of them.

Yep, missed all of those differences! Thanks for the info!

I'm happy with the Flex 7 I just bought and was also happy with the Flex 3 I am replacing. Will be on the look out for a Yoga if a solid deal comes across. Thanks for all your hard work finding these machines (especially touch screens)!

Now what I really want is a ROG Flow Z13 (with GPU of course) but I know that ain't happening at this price point.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a laptop that doesn't have a series of complaints about the weakest point....the hinge. Are the complaints / failures disproportionate should be the actually concern. A concern that is never addressed.

If you look at threads about a year ago on every Lenovo thread, it was brought up with people claiming it happened to them. I don't see anything close to that with any other laptop maker. You tell me if that is disproportionate. Yes it was definitely more with Flex series, but the fact it has been reported with yoga series from the same company is certainly worrisome.

So people beat dead horses on the internet? Not really the proof I was looking for.

Like I said claims. You could insert (HP / Dell / MSI) into your same statement and it would be equally true from someone's subjective opinion of year old scuttlebutt from their own flawed memory and selective bias.

You tell me prove if that is disproportionate.

Non-inverter generators cause sensitive electronics to magically die, non Costco Wagyu beef is fake, and (random) laptop sucks. Typical day on SD and just as much evidence for these claims as bigfoot. Don't believe me...look it up.

Google Lenovo broken hinge. Tell me if any other laptop maker has as many complaints. It's not just SD. Lenovo forums, etc. The worst thing is that Lenovo will not repair it under warranty. I had an Asus laptop that had a broken hinge. Asus repaired it under warranty. I am not here to prove anything. It's your money, you do as you like.

I guess according to you, there's really no point in having any discussion on SD (or Reddit, or the internet) because we can't believe anything anyone says, right? I guess this discussion is moot. All laptops are great, don't listen to the lies, no one has ever had a bad laptop because you haven't had one.
