"Love at first byte"

A few days ago I have become aware of an advertising flyer action on the predecessor of yoga. The hybrid technology, so Ultrabook and tablet in one had interested me for some time, the devices did not convince me so far but. Whether Asus ZenBook or Microsoft Surface 2 Pro. It was never the right. By Yoga 2 Pro Lenovo I have now developed a "safe" feeling that this device can now cover my needs for work and play.

In the above inserted pictures you can see how the device is dimensioned "narrow" and a classic MacBook Pro is equal. Although no UniBody aluminum housing is used, but this is "bells and whistles" and not as important. The Lenovo delivers quality work, we know from the acquired IBM ThinkPad series. Robustität and quality guarantee here for the name.

A few things about the device.

Intel Haswell i7 processor with 1.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SATA III SSD as mass storage. As an Intel graphics processor acts 4400 graphics card that is of good use for image editing. As for the theme video editing, so I have gathered no experience here. Initially, the Wi-Fi was something wiggled, then what is "disappeared" for a little update from my perspective. The leather-like surface for the palm rest of the keyboard is valuable and conclusive. The keyboard, unlike the MacBook Pro and Asus ZenBook a not so good tactile feedback, but I come as 10 finger writers very well with it and do not feel annoyed - such as the Surface Pro 2 Touch Cover.
In darker light, the advantage of a backlit keyboard clearly shows. Even with black keys, is here without problems get the job done.

The large paved with 512GB SSD storage proves after a short time as a stroke of luck, because here the music library can be taken and for other things there's room. Like the MacBook Pro is missing here a media burner, or Ethernet port. There are, however, to disentangle these "emergency" the possibility of using external adapters or devices.

The fan - here the one time or another in forums and reviews as "annoying designated" - is heard occasionally and then only briefly, unless you work with full load grade. The positive fact, to position the exhaust slots rear of the unit, the unit remains cool. and the fan then also goes off again. Possibly there is the possibility of a fan control via software to intervene into the action - the Asus I had here what the run - but it does not bother.

After about 2 days life I can say. All in all a round thing.

Update for nearly 1 week:

For a short time I had on the last Friday evening beginning to think that my review would have been too early. Suddenly the wireless connection was gone and off only and again the device on again been activated. Then I noticed that I had the "WLAN" patch is not installed. These things I have made up my Yoga and since then purrs 2 per back like clockwork.
Even now I am still convinced of the device. Mostly I use the device as a "Ultrabook", sometimes referred to as tablet or Reader with the Kindle app.
The sound is also good.
The departure from the Mac to this noble instrument I regret still not, as I have now found some interesting advantages that I had missed the Mac (for example here Good integration of Office, WISO Mein Geld without virtualization, better Konnektierung peripherals).
Only annoying is off and when the very high resolution, but then let me take up my reading glasses one time or another, but here I've read that the reduction to a clear eye gentler resolution applies to recommend without loss of quality. The same I have indeed made the Mac. This high resolution makes my opinion only makes sense with a larger display that will surely come.
The gesture control, I have still not quite through looks, also have not yet this feature for me felt to be necessary, therefore, we have the ...
