I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 13 i5 gained with 500GB hard drive, because I was convinced of the technical data of that part. The device is indeed not bad, were it not for the "but" or rather the big "but". Since the WLAN connection with this computer is more than poor - not to say: In any criticism - I thought to myself as someone who is in charge in our company for more than 150 devices, no problem: Another wireless card purely in the box and is already. No way !!!!!! Lenovo operates a customer policy that compels far overpriced parts for sale, which are identical to the market freely available accessories. The BIOS is a whitelist, which locks out Lenovo strange accessories. One reason why this Sch ** Apple does not want to, is the fact that it is a closed system that forces me to do only those things that a guru professes me (That's Apple Freedom!). Lenovo seems slow exactly follow the same path. The exchange of a wireless card in Yoga2 is defacto not possible, because this is blocked by the BIOS. Once you try it, you will be faced with a message indicating that an unauthorized hardware has been installed. The hammer is yet to come: You have to imagine that even a workaround is: Taking the case in deep sleep, is expanding the wireless card and replaced it with another (ie the whole without rebooting in quasi active machine), then does it work without difficulty, because the BIOS, the installed card can not block. If we introduce but eg after an update of the operating system restarts, then you do not even come to the start of the operating system, because the BIOS prevents the start because a non non-Lenovo wireless network card is inserted. Here a policy is specifically operated, the customer obliges to buy over-priced Lenovo products. A comparison of the history squeezes on there when it was only possible in the time of industrialization, only exactly implement the hard-earned wages in those shops that belonged to him who anyway exploiting one. As long as such business practices are operated, I can only guess or to exhort: Do not buy products from companies that restrict the autonomy of an individual to the effect that only predetermined patterns are allowed. In an Apple world I know from the outset that I put myself in the bondage of this group. In a PC World, whose triumph lies in the fact that at that time IBM made the free extensibility of a computer possible to me but such practices are alien. Unless the unexpected happens, namely that whitelists, which shut out accessories from other manufacturers, are eliminated, I will never buy a Lenovo-box. The one star is because it does not exist in the evaluation system of Amazon the ability to assign null stars, and because the product would actually be good, were it not for the big "but".
