Well-known problems even with this series

The Lenovo Yoga 3 in the 11-inch version is a small portable device.
This review refers to the smallest version of the Intel M-5Y10c and 4GB RAM.
The device has collapsed about the dimensions: 29 x 19.5 x 1.4 cm

They were looking for a small portable device for the everyday university life with long battery life.

Keyboard and Mouse
In this version, the F-keys are available as an extra bar with double occupancy for special functions (volume, display brightness, etc). The keyboard is a good size despite the small device and makes an acceptable impression.
In my model individual keys do not work sometimes temporarily until a reboot.
The mouse pad has a good size, but not installed on my model. At the slightest touch "rattling" it. After some time in use, this resulted in a loss of accuracy. Navigation on the mouse pad was so annoying.

Touchscreen operation
In tablet mode, the device such as a tendency in the browser to close the onscreen keyboard again, so no input is possible. A change in the laptop mode solves this problem, but can not be the solution here.
Otherwise, the device works precisely. To mention is the highly reflective display, which is caused by the touch screen. In sunlight, the maximum brightness is not able to work acceptably on the display may be sufficient.

Sound
The built-in JBL speakers make a surprisingly good sound for the size of the device.

Hard drive
As a Samsung SSD MZNTE128HMGR-000L2 is installed. In AS SSD benchmark it reaches a score of approximately 750th

Performance
The Core M-5Y10C with the Intel Graphics 5300 often reaches its limits. Even with complex sites with many images jerky presentation.
If the machine is on a fabric background (couch) increases the CPU temperature in the simplest tasks, such as is the browser open, fast to over 60 ° C.

Wireless
A strikingly good reception has the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 wireless adapter. However, there is also a very large point of criticism here. WLAN will take you directly to the displayed time and again as active, but no Wi-Fi networks will be found. If the wireless adapter is disabled in Device Manager, and re-enabled, everything is back in order. The Wi-Fi networks are displayed in spite of an unchanged position of the device again and the laptop reconnects.
This seems to be a driver issue / Windows problem, I of two other series of Lenovo also know it.
Wen regular rebooting or deactivation / activation in the device manager does not bother who can access this machine anyway. For me, this repetition errors (all series) has been known for about a year. Since this is not resolved even with the latest generation of yoga equipment, I can not recommend this device.

Accumulator
After a day working in the university without power supply (about 8 hours), the device has about 50% of battery.
In these 8 hours, most of the time were displayed PDF document or surfing the Internet.
The screen has been turned off when not in use, but this does not change much on this outstanding performance.
In continuous operation with 50% screen brightness and HD streaming from the network the battery lasts about 6.5 hours.

The unit has repeatedly reproduce problems HD YouTube videos fluently. This is not the Buffering. The power settings are at peak performance.

Software
The software package, which is preinstalled by Lenovo keeps the scope within limits and is approximately half an hour of work to reduce to a reasonable extent.
Through the cracked root certificate, which is pre-installed by this adware "Superfish Visiual Discovery" on most Lenovo an extremely high safety risk is present, but which should no longer be installed by now.
A review is still advisable.

After 3 weeks of use, the device produces a .dll error at start an in-house Lenovo program. Only software change was an automatic update of the Lenovo Settings. Poor!
Also additional software is hardly installed (Office, Dropbox, browser, PDF reader).

In overall impression the Lenovo Yoga 3 collects in the 11 inch version basic minuses. The keyboard and Mauspadprobleme will probably unlucky with my model. The wireless issue is absolutely unacceptable, while it is for the user regardless of whether these errors to Microsoft or Lenovo caused. Summarized all remaining points it makes in my device means that it is not for everyday use.

ADDENDUM:

It has ordered a replacement unit. At this time the Mouse was permanently installed, but it was never put into operation. The hinges were so badly processed that the touch when folded, the device cracked. The top and bottom were so badly built that they are not closed.

The 3rd replacement device is properly on the hardware.
In operation, there is the well-known wireless problems again. Is significantly worse that the bluetooth mouse after a short time causes problems. In normal operation, they regularly stopped working. The problem is not on the mouse, but the Bluetooth driver of Lenovo depend regularly on. Even in the device manager is no longer to be found in such a case, the Bluetooth adapter. One or more reboot (s) managed (s) Remedy.

Since Lenovo has apparently widespread driver problems and this does not get to grips with in a long time, I am inclined this review on a star to devalue. The Lenovo but conceptually a good idea.

I can not recommend Lenovo and will return this device and do not buy anything more by this company for the time being.
