WitchHazel Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Time for me to replace my laptop. I've been a Dell girl for many years, and Dell are launching their new range (using the new 4th Gen chips) in the next couple of days. I've been waiting for the launch to order a new laptop. But then I saw the Lenovo Yoga, and Lenovo has announced today their new range launching in October. The look really good. Does anyone have a Lenovo Yoga, or any experience of it?

Lewis Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 No experience of the Lenovo but my brother just said there's 4 laptops reviewed in GQ; C7 by Acer - rated 2/10 ARM Series 3 by Samsung - rated 7/10 Pixel by Google - rated 6/10 Pavillion 14 by HP - rated 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have read good reviews of the Lenovo. In the which best buys table the first four laptops are Apple, followed by an Acer, an HP then the Lenovo ideapad Yoga 13. Obviously that's the older version if you are talking about a new release but it says its a pleasure to use. I'm surprised you'd go back to Dell, everyone I've known with one previously (me included) has been unhappy with it. My husband works in IT and his techies didn't recommend I get another. That was a couple of years ago though and I don't recollect their recommendation as I didn't go on to buy another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks for your replies. I know that Dell gets a bad press and some people have had problems. However, I've had Dell for years and have always been very happy with them. I replace my laptop every 2-3 years. I went to PC World to look at a Yoga (the old/current version, rather than the new one which is due out in a month or so), and I really liked the look of it. Mind you, they all look lovely in the shop. I guess I'll wait until I see what configurations are available and choose based on that.

Leeloo Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 A friend of mine got one recently. Her husband is an engineer and does computer programming on the side so I'm sure he probably did a ton of research before they got it. She says that she likes it although she's had a bit of a learning curve getting used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 She says that she likes it although she's had a bit of a learning curve getting used to it. Thanks Leeloo - Any idea what it was that needed the learning curve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 No, she didn't give any specifics. I can ask her. She just said there were some things to learn about it and she was a slow learner, but she thought it was handy in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeloo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I asked her and she said that she'd get back to me, but she hasn't so maybe there's just too many little things to put into words easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 No probs Leelo, thank you for asking. I really like the look of these, I'm just waiting for them to announce what sized solid state disks and what size memory options will be available as those will be the deciding factors. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
