Finally: true multitasking, professional software, rights management and much more.

Basically, I have no problem with Android, on the contrary: in the evening the Play Store is used as a video store (thanks Miracast, albeit with sporadic audio interruptions), go a game PvZII or Power AMP heard music. In addition, there are useful programs such as Whatsapp and excessive flood at all possible in the store. So far so good
Still, I was immediately hooked when I came across the Yoga 2: full Windows, look a stand for films / series, you can tilt to write comfortably, expandable memory and much more .. All that sounded sensational and I ordered expectantly.

Decided I signed up for the LTE version, which has cost the time of purchase 399.00 (instead of 449.00), and thus only 30.00 was more expensive than the version without LTE. So I can even surf comfortably in the garden, where our WLAN not unfortunately get there Map of O2 has been recognized properly.

Packaging and delivery:
The packaging of Yoga 2 is held in a stylish matt black, which attracts fingerprints magically. Front nor the tablet in high-gloss, on the side and behind a few technical details, everything to look contemporary and beautiful.
Inside the tablet itself, a charger, a connector and the auxiliary box in which the keyboard and a longer charging cable for the same are housed hides. Then a few warranty booklets and that's it.

Processing and handling:
The Tablet loves heavy and cold in his hand. Cold, because the bottom, thick part is made entirely of aluminum, which gives the tablet provides an extremely high-quality and stable impression. Nevertheless, I had to get used to the weight (Reference: Sony Z2).
The back is made of a rubberized material, which improves the grip significantly, but unfortunately also partly accepts. Fingerprints. And if you hold it on both sides, such as when reading, you realize at the right hand (the fingers then lie completely on the rear panel) that this can turn a little and cracks from time to time. Personally bothers me the marginal, although it criticized here and some I want to have at least mentioned it. Otherwise, the tablet is beyond doubt: the Aluständer holds the tablet firmly in place, the gaps are excellent and the choice of material is Classy and high quality full marks.

The unusual shape I already knew from the Sony Tablet S and was already a fan. One, thicker Part allows a much more pleasant attitude, the tablet does not threaten to go smoothly from your fingers and it reads / surfs, as in an opened Journal.

Only in the case of the envelope you have to take massive concessions in purchasing. Due to the very specific form in which the sheath that indeed the curves must wrap with, is the lid when opened, either on one side extremely long and is uncomfortable about (if you really flips open it completely, resulting in a bend and in the consequence vmtl. quickly leads to fatigue), or you can not bend and let it flush, then rounding is thus twice as thick, a comfortable grip was making almost impossible again. In addition, the aluminum magnetic keyboard keeps no longer clever and if you pack everything together, then it becomes sensitive thick.

Personally, I have struggled through me now to wear if necessary (I will, if at some point there:. Polish, etc. stand the Rez supplemented accordingly) to be accepted and to use no casing. I have still a screen protector concerned, since the keyboard unfortunately does not Schutzgumis and much. could scratch the display, but otherwise I use the tablet without, which can play all his charm and potential.

Initial start-up and daily use:
On first boot you can gewohntermaßen first time the language, then the Internet connection and if not yet available, set up your Microsoft account. Who, like me, have a corresponding Windows 8 has account, which has the advantage that the desktop is the same set as on the desktop. But nice gimmick. Now quickly an antivirus program installed (lovely, I can install a familiar virus program, without having to check the compatibility, etc.) and go already kanns.

What should and can I tell great here: it is a full version of Win8.1 that can be controlled amazingly intuitive and precise. There was even with Android situations where I had to press buttons several times and it is here that due to the lower representation, at the beginning a little practice thing, for example, to catch the small crosses in the corner. Alternatively, you just screwed your view larger and thus has an easier. But already, alas very short settling time, is one the system as intuitive and fast as before, etc. Android

So far I have found no delays in the operation, absolutely everything runs smoothly and correctly from the presentation. Even turning the screen copes yoga and Windows perfectly.

Apart from this there are of course very obvious advantages and disadvantages that are personally relevant to me:

Pro +
+ I have administrator rights without root, loss of warranty etc.
+ I can install any Windows compatible programs: Firefox, Outlook, Thunderbird, Sketchup, Win AMP, VLC, Photoshop
+ I have no more problems with the presentation of web pages, Flash support
+ The online video library of Xbox (as an app already installed) works just as well as the PlayStore is similarly expensive / cheap and I have the advantage of a micro HDMI port on yoga, which I have no more dropouts. Movies do with it twice as much fun and when I choose to use only the 2nd display (ie the TV, tablet remains off), then I consume in a whole movie about 10-10% battery. On my tablet / phone there were between 40-70%.
+ Real multitask. Many devices in Androidbereich try this technique to simulate, unfortunately always work only producers apps that have been optimized for. Just run 2 separate apps side by side, usually can not. Here I leave the VLC player next to the browser running or tinker a model in SketchUp in addition to a music video.
+ Memory expansion via Micro SD.
+ The battery, which decisively influenced the weight of the tablet, enough good cook (depending on use) 10-15 hrs., Here does not exaggerate the manufacturer as times.
+ Great sound thanks to stereo speakers. The volume ranges from no less than for a small room and distorted, even in noisy, not much really great.
+ It is a real (ie with moving keys) Bluetooth keyboard with which you can fix by a magnet on the tablet, the pairing works beautifully and quickly, and that can be used as a screen protection cover.
+ Personally, I find the function distinguished from the trackpad, and also the mouse buttons function properly.
Lt. + Internet upgrade path to Win10.

Neutral o
o Of course, the Windows Store still nowhere near as full, such as the Play Store why ?! For Windows, there is the original programs that try to simulate the others and optimize. Only the games go from me a little (especially PvZII), but it is growing every day. The immense benefits, but offers me a full version, make good that defect definitely and small, simple Indigames example of Steam run flawlessly on the yoga.

Contra -
- Negative I noticed that the keyboard when on and clipped shut, no rubber studs on the upper side has the screen aging. So the edge sits directly on the display glass and can possibly lead to scratches. I have therefore a protector Please bang: forearmed.
- Apart from that I do not understand why the Lenovo Yoga not donated a charger with 2 USB sockets ?! These abound to buy as an additive, so why not attach a device with 2 charging cycles a corresponding device ?! That would be not only brilliant, but also very convenient if you want / need the keyboard and the tablet at the same load.

Conclusion:
How already noted, I am really convinced. Of course there are the occasional downer, but I can live well. The only real alternative would come into question that sometimes loosely 2 times to cost so much for me that was not available Asus Chi T300. But I like to take into account that I can use any shell with my tablet and buy myself prefer in 1-2 years just a new one.

From my side a very clear recommendation to all who want to make any more compromises and appreciate the advantages of a complete Windows!
