So handy!

Now that I own this, some of the the reviews I read beforehand are bugging me. I'd like to give some thoughts on the Windows Yoga Book. The keyboard is the way it is because that's how you get both a keyboard AND the drawing tablet. It not a gimmicky bad keyboard. It's just something the drawing half can be used for. Don't write your masters thesis on it, but it's soooo much better than an on-screen keyboard, and in my opinion it's also better than those floppy keyboards you usually get with tablets. Those keyboards detract from the portability of a tablet. This keyboard does not at all. When folded it is a tablet. The length, width, and thickness are that of a slim tablet. This is NOT one of those 2-in-1 laptops that are famous for being a mediocre laptop and a mediocre tablet. This is the best tablet ever because it has a drawing tablet, great battery life, no fans, and a keyboard that's good for emails and such. It even has strong magnets to keep the two halves together so it feels like a one-piece tablet when folded that way. The processor is snappy within windows. You can browse the internet with a real Windows browser seeing the full version of your sites without any lag from the CPU. It is not up to playing Crysis, and a 10 inch tablet is a dumb thing to play Crysis on anyway. It's fully capable of playing youtube videos with 10 other tabs open while you edit a word document though. The Atom CPU is part of why this is so thin and it means it never overheats, despite having no fans. The lack of ports is annoying. You can get a $5 adapter to make the microusb a regular USB A 2.0 port, but If that microusb was a USB-C it'd be much more useful. I have a little netbook at work for cloning/working with hard drives and I wouldn't need that if this thing had a friggin USB-C port. The pen works wonderfully. However, I bought a Fujitsu T5000 stylus which has an eraser on the top. The included Lenovo pen is more well made, but doesn't have an eraser or any buttons that could be assigned as an eraser, and it's unnecessarily large. The Yoga Book had an issue where it would sometimes not wake from sleep, forcing you to do a forced reboot. BIOS firmware 04WT22WW seems to have completely resolved the issue. It's a very simple download/install from Lenovo's site. It quick charges crazy fast with the Lenovo charger. It puts out 2A at 12V. Your phone charger doesn't, so don't use your phone charger on this then say it charges slow in a review! Grrrr. I'm doing math lessons. I place my problems or instructions on one side of the screen and Onenote on the other for doing the equations. It's perfect. I highly recommend the Windows Yoga Book over Android. It's very natural to have multiple windows open on this. On Android you get splitscreen and that's it, and if you've used that you know it's clunky compared to Windows and some apps don't even work right in it. You have more customization in Windows and have both better security and better control over that security. You have about a million file explorers available in Android but even the ones that cost money don't compare to Windows explorer. Windows 10 will be current for a long time while Android 6 on the Yoga Book has already been supplanted by 7 and 8 is out now and isn't available on the Yoga Book. Android leaves you behind. I really love this device. It's a tablet with laptoppy extras that have no downside because of how beautifully this was designed. Don't buy this as your workstation if that's what you need, but if you need a tablet this one is simply the best.

Great Tablet

THE GOOD I use this device as my "paper" and secondary device. I am a medical student, in a few months to become an intern. I LIVE IN JAMAICA. I learn best when I write, but I ususally have to tranfer to PC by typing. With this and MyScript Stylus, that time has been cut in half. Plus I can use it as a normal tablet as well. It is definitely a head turner and it deserves to be so. U CAN GET USE TO TYPING ON THE KEYBOARD. The learning curve is not hard. I got use to the mouse, but you can touch the scree. 64gb is much space. Charging is really fast and the battery life is awesome. FINGER PRINTS ARE NOT AN ISSUE - just accept it and move on with life. The magnetic pad is awesome and you dont need to use Lenovo paper. I went to the book store and bought 2 pads, punch holes in them and clipped them in. They worked perfect too. The latency is not bad at all. THE BAD I cant write on the screen with the stylus without AnyWrite. That is b/c the screen does not have a digitizer. That is understandable. B/c of the type of processor, it tends to itch when I wake it up from sleep to continue typing but that is fine with me. I know the limits of the device. The track pad is a bit small. USB port would have been nice - but you can buy an adapter. I bought 2 for a dollar or something like that. Writing on the wacom pad is a bit weird, it does not feel like natural paper. But if you put a screen protector on it, you will get a near paper like resistance feel. It is similar or close to what the note 8 feels like when you do that. I bought a screen protect x2 pack on amazon from Mr Shield.

Fantastic Concept but Poor Execution.

I loved mine until the keyboard broke which happens a lot with this model & no replacement keyboards are available. There is no internal support for the center of the keyboard. But I liked mine well enough to buy a new one. This model is no longer made or supported.
