Well, because the Yoga 11 2 are brought out even in the house.
Lenovo has done with the equipment any favors. The price is low, but does not justify some design decisions are not always:
- The keyboard is - especially when you consider that this is a Lenovo product - quite spongy and can be pressed in the middle by about 4 mm. A clear pressure point does not exist and if you tend to meet the chiclet keys on the edge, frequently triggers no input. During fast typing it comes so repeatedly incorrect entries. I have to actually say that this is one of the worst netbook / laptop / Convertible keyboards I've ever used.
- The use of an HDD instead of SSD is simply harebrained. The processor is cooled passively, ie with an SSD you would have brought a completely silent system on the market! That would really have been an outstanding feature. So you can hear throughout the whirring of the hard drive, which is actually comparable to some quiet fan. The overall system performance is the hard drive incredibly detrimental. If you look in the Task Manager it is clear that 90% of the hard drive is the bottleneck and slows the processor. The hard drive is running virtually throughout and is looking surfing / Video / update continuously sweating.
- The processor choice was really bad: My Dell Venue 8 delivers with Atom processor better benchmark results and this is also passively cooled. On Windows, the operation is accompanied throughout by micro stuttering and on some website you have to the poor, overworked processor sometimes just give a few seconds until it has chewed through the website.
- Despite slow processor and low resolution, the battery life is only average 4 to 5 hours of normal use.
If you can live with these above points will receive a portable system for the move, with which one can sometimes answer emails. The biggest shortcoming remains the spongy keyboard - this was crucial for me rash to return the Yoga 2 11. With everything else I would have probably no less than life.
Anyone who wants to pick up the Yoga 11 2, will be pleased that you, if you will, then, can replace the hard drive with a SSD: The hard disk has an Ultra Thin 2.5 "format (only 5 mm height !!! Since only fit the ! thinnest SSDs) and is accessible via a Torx Screwdriver The connection cable to the motherboard is a bit exotic (Seagate proprietary), but there at Lenovo a normal SATA connection cable as a replacement part at a moderate price (Part Number 90204935 -. Vienna HDD Cable WD in Lenovo spare parts shop) . To me, that Imho beads however is precisely because of the keyboard no longer in question. before the swine. :(
