great for the techno-challenged!
I've always used hand me down laptops. Even though I'm in my 50s this is my first computer purchase. I was using an ancient laptop with an OS from 2007, haha. My daughter recommended I buy a Yoga because she loves hers. I now love mine too. Super easy and fast set up, even for a technophobe like me. I find the interface fairly intuitive, so I've pretty much been able to figure out what I need to figure out, without any help. The one thing that drove me crazy though was figuring out how to use the touch pad (mouse) properly. It doesn't work anything like any other computer I've used, even my husband's new laptop, so I thought it was broken, haha, till my daughter sent me a YouTube tutorial! I find the 11 inch screen big enough for all of my needs, which are simple: extensive writing, email, web browsing, shopping, watching videos, and creating and storing documents for my work. I can comfortably watch a movie too, but if I didn't also have a TV, I'd have chosen the bigger Yoga screen. I love how portable it is, and that it can be used as a notebook or tablet. Awesome. The screen optics are gorgeous. Only two things I don't like. The shift key is smaller than normal and in the wrong place. Long story short, it's maddening but I think I'll adjust. Secondly, during set up, why isn't there a nice invitation to watch a full tutorial on how to explore your new device and learn not only the basics of how to navigate a Yoga, but also learn what various tricks your notebook is capable of and what features it offers? Why wouldn't Lenovo include an official tutorial, if only to cut down on the volume of service calls? I read thru the printed info that came with the device, but no mention of a tutorial there either. I hated to do it, but I deducted a star for that. If there IS a tutorial included, I couldn't find it, and that's just as bad as there not being one. It should be super easy to find. So glad I chose this elegant two-in-one!! So thin and light, and my daughter informs me I got it at a really great price right here on Amazon. Anytime I can save a trip to the store around the holidays!
