Lenovo Yoga 910

Engadget Review
The Yoga 910's jumpy trackpad, unreliable fingerprint reader and loud fan noise can make it frustrating to use, but it's ultimately saved by its compact design, mostly comfortable typing experience and its combination of price and specs. For next year's model, Lenovo would do well to address the longstanding touchpad issues, and replace the fingerprint reader with a Windows Hello webcam.
An otherwise promising laptop is hampered by a jumpy trackpad, loud fan noise and an unreliable fingerprint reader.

- 90AVERAGE USER SCORE1 ReviewsEngadget Reader90January 2, 2017Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I have had this laptop for 2 months now. I chose the higher end version that comes with the 4K screen and 16GB of RAM. I have had nothing but good things to say about this laptop. As for what is said in the reviews, I guess it comes on a per system basis. As for me, I have not had the issues specified. The only time the fans became a problem is after I updated one of the drivers. After about 2 days the laptop seemed to calibrate itself and the fans have been silent ever since. Performance is amazing as long as you d not run anything graphically heavy in 4K. The screen is bright and clear with 10 point finger tracking. The bezel at the bottom is easily forgettable. And does come in handy when in tablet mode as it gives you a place to wrap your hand around and hold without clicking on anything. The mouse pad is great and has 3 finger gesture control like the MacBook's. this makes it easy for quick task switching or virtual desktop management. The keyboard is great and has good travel. As long as you get used to the right shift key being the size of a normal key. The last thing is the battery life. With three modes built in that can be configured (normal, battery saver, and conserve) there is always power available. I always have plenty of battery left at the end of a busy day. In the end yes every laptop has its flaw, but for the price compared to the competition I would have to say Lenovo did amazing packing this little laptop full of features for below the $2K mark.
