Apparently B&H doesn't accept returns on laptops. Almost pulled the trigger but no return policy kills it.

I actually prefer LCD as they are a lot easier on the eyes. Most OLED panels use PWM flickering for dimming, which leads to eye strain/fatigue.

OLED panels also usually use a lot more power than LCD, which will lead to lower battery life.

Another thing in LCDs favor is the regular subpixel arrangement that results in sharper text compared to the non standard subpixel arrangements in most OLED panels.

I'd take a high quality LCD panel (400+ nits, 100% sRGB) over an OLED panel, especially in laptops. I have owned multiple OLED laptops (I think at least 5), and they all gave me eye strain, and some had terrible text quality. OLED panels do have amazing contrast and color reproduction, but high quality LCD panels are surprisingly good. Just look at the panels that MacBooks use. Even Mini LED is still technically LCD.

I don't agree with the assessment of OLED vs LCD. I have used MSFT Surface devices with excellent LCDs and recently bought a HP Pavilion plus with an OLED display and the screen is a significant improvement over the LCDs I used before. I don't see any flickering issues and while OLEDs might consume more power, battery life of my HP is comparable to my Surface Laptop thanks to a slightly bigger battery and the more efficient AMD processor vs Intel. There are good displays in both camps but to me, OLED is the better option. My current iphone OLED is better than any previous LCD iphone I had and the OLED on my HP Pavilion plus beats any LCD I have used so far.

Does anyone know if this folds back on itself into a tablet form? Tried looking around but couldn't tell definitively.
No it doesn't. It goes straight to 180 but not 360… that 180 image can mislead one into thinking it will go all the way.

This vs the HP Dragonfly Pro One for $699?? This Lenovo looks to have better screen, but with soldered ram and no options for returns....

If you aren't in hurry, then wait for the ARM based laptops launching later this month

It depends on the OLED. Subpixel arrangement matters for text clarity in Windows. Not everyone notices, but it's definitely an issue.

I wish they'd just make RGB OLEDs.

sounds like a personal issue. not everyone suffers from eye strain from OLED.
Lol yeaaa, gonna have to agree.. Sounds like more of a user error rather than the type of screen that's doing the eye straining. Most probably just aren't taking adequate breaks. I'm not doubting such an issue exist but it's definitely the minority.

I worry about the build quality of the Lenovo especially the hinge. They were notoriously bad on the ideapad series. Not sure if this is any better. My daughter has a ideapad pro which is supposed to be better build quality than the ideapad and initially seems so but there is already a crack in the plastic hinge cover after 2 years. Don't know about the hp build quality.

I think there are differences in oled screens especially touchscreens. I was surprised that the Samsung 13" book3 360 oled screen I got had slightly blurry text while my tab 7 plus screen is perfect. Maybe it was the resolution difference but I also got an acer non-oled laptop at the same time as the Samsung book3 with same resolution and it didn't have blurry text.

This is the answer. Not all screens are created equal.

For the record, I have the 2.8K OLED version on a Yoga 9i. It's absolutely stellar.

For $650 price, should I rather buy Apple MacBook from Walmart instead of Lenovo?

Yep, I have a Yoga 2 Pro with power button in same location and accidental presses are annoying. They need to put the button up top IMO...
the power putton on the side is great for if you use it in clamshell (ie closed) mode with a monitor

Is this part of the ideapad line? Wondering if this will have the hinge issue
