Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo Yoga 900, the successor to the Yoga 3 Pro. Lenovo's starting with a clean slate when it comes to model numbers, and ironically ...
Hey Lisa what would you reccomend for a mom for $1400, this,the core i5 8gb
ram 256gb sp4, Completly maxed out LG Gram 14 (also 1,400), base macbook
pro with retina or the ASUS ZENBOOK UX305CA for $700?
fantastic reiew lisa. i have a quick quesiton. what does 1TB HDD
5400rpm+8GB SSD cache mean. does it mean startup windows runs off 8GB and
the laptop has a 1tb hdd in it also? thanks
What about a triple smackdown? MS Surface Book vs. Spectre x360 vs. Yoga
900: all three "premium" 2-in-1 laptops vying for our 2015 holiday
dollars...
+jimmy neutron Probably better off with a quad core not a U variant dual core. It also runs integrated graphics... probably could run PES 16 but it wouldn't be max resolution, 720p only. Good luck with your choice. I personally would opt for the XPS 15.. the size increase sucks for portability i know. But the other option would be either MSI's GE40 or future GS40 (both 14 inch) any other high powered 14 inch commands huge premiums. Good luck.
Can somebody let me know which is better for watching UHD videos in
external TV, this using a USB Type-C to Display Port adapter or a MacBook
Air Early 2015 with Thunderbolt 2.
I would think both can output UHD at 60p hz
Thanks, nice review.......and yes i'm gonna say it again
Where is the review for XPS 15 9550??????
I already ordered it online and it will be here on 15th, I'd really
appreciate some tips for accessories.
Hi Lisa, I bought yoga 900 from bestbuy last week and the laptop was
plagued with display fluctuations (display trying to optimize between light
n dark screen but very slowly causing fluctuations) while switching apps. I
exchanged it with another one thinking that might be a manufacturing fault,
but it turns out that the exchanged yoga 900 also has the same display
issue. Can you please let me know if the same issue exists with yours?!
+MobileTechReview Hey Lisa, thank you so much! The changes you suggested worked for the laptop. Intel's display applet was at power saving mode which was causing this issue. Thanks again, you are awesome!
+Utkarsh Singh Just turn off auto-brightness in settings. Ambient light sensors are often annoying in laptops and cause these fluctuations. Also check Intel's Display applet, and disable their power savings that cause changes when moving from a colorful window to a white window.

Lenovo Yoga 900 unboxing and first impressions
Thinking of buying a new Lenovo Yoga 900 two-in-one PC? We have one in-house and are giving it the proper unboxing and tour before our review later on.
Is it SSD storage? Is it Core i7 U or Y? Does it have a facial recognition
camera? Does it have a pen digitizer? Is the USB type C port thunderbolt 3
ready?
Please answer all those questions in your full review...
The surface book is way to expensive for me but between this, the surface
pro 4 and the new skylake updated spectre x360, which one would you
recommend? I am a masters student and I need something powerful and
reliable that will last me for 4-5 years maybe for all y school work and
research but also double as an entertainment device.
+Osky N.R. Yes, some HP products support their active digitizer, they don't really make it clear which do on the active digitizer webpage...so, just verify before you make your purchase.
Does the hp have a digitizer? I really like the surface pro but I like the idea of having an actual laptop that can do the tablet thing too. Plus it a bit better cost wise.
+Osky N.R. The Surface Pro 4 all the way, due to it offering a pen digitizer capable of replacing ALL your needs of paper/notebooks/logbooks/etc with OneNote...
Good review but you forgot to mention that the Lenovo uses HDD while the
Surface book uses SSD hence the added cost for the surface book. Not to
mention that the screen is removable :)
+Ali Al-Zaabi Not really, this doesn't make the Surface Pro 4 look overpriced at all. It's just another great bang-for-buck product for different consumers. The 8GB RAM 256GB SSD i7U configuration is $1200 on their website, Dan was misleading saying it's 16GB RAM in that base model. Also, it's battery life is rated the same as the Surface Pro 4, 9 hours.Regardless, the equivalent configuration Surface Pro 4 is $1600+$130 for Keyboard. For that $530 difference, you get all of the following:- A Pen Digitizer Screen (which itself is worth a Wacom Intuos Digitizer Drawing Board). There's loads of videos on YouTube demonstrating the Surface Pro 3/2/1 being utilized for AutoCAD by designers (//bit. ly/1MXnL5O), replacing old Wacom Cintiqs for pro artists (//bit. ly/1AWZ58u), replacing 1000s of paper worth of documents/textbooks/binders/handouts/modules/course-packs/slides/lab-reports/etc for students (//bit. ly/1Hruf8o), lawyers (//bit. ly/1QIG5yr) and doctors (//bit. ly/1GkL73J), etc. The Surface Pro 4 here just makes things faster and more precise.- Windows 10 Pro, instead of Windows 10 Home.- A 38% lighter tablet experience (1.73lb vs 2.8lb).- Front-facing speakers, instead of down-facing.- A dual-purpose charger, minimizing the number of outlets required to charge your gadgets- A higher resolution 5MP front-facing (which also offers support for Windows Hello biometric authentication) and an 8MP auto-focus rear-facing webcam, instead of just a 1MP 720p front-facing webcam.- A higher performing NVME based PCIE SSD, instead of just MSata SSD. However, that wouldn't make significant difference until you get to 4K video editing.- A higher performing Intel Iris Graphics GPU, instead of just an Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU.- Although the Lenovo Yoga looks fine as it is IMO, it's build quality is just not as premium as the magnesium alloy build quality of the Surface Pro 4, which is a lighter + stronger + more heat resistant material (//bit. ly/1Ec2z5k).- A future upgradeable keyboard + trackpad, with potentially more features, like a fingerprint reader, more multi-touch points, etc...that's what the Surface Pro 4's Type Cover brought to Surface Pro 3 users.- TPM chip for enterprise security.On the Yoga's upper hand,- You get a bigger, crisper screen (276 PPI vs 267 PPI)- More ports; 1 additional USB 3.0 port and the charge port doubles as a USB 2.0 port- Pay $530 lessI think both offer good justifications for their price tag, just for different consumers, hence my point from the start; the Surface Pro 4 isn't overpriced as you imply.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 11 is an affordable hybrid device. It's a multi-mode notebook with a design that can fold back 360 degrees, providing flexibility for the ...
I need something small for travelling and edit video with it. Do you think
that I can render videos and so?? If not, which one would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
+BJTechNews because i saw another review of the "asus t300chi" which has similar specs just with a core-M-5Y51 processor and it ran all the games smoothly including asphalt
