Now that I own this, some of the the reviews I read beforehand are bugging me. I'd like to give some thoughts on the Windows Yoga Book. The keyboard is the way it is because that's how you get both a keyboard AND the drawing tablet. It not a gimmicky bad keyboard. It's just something the drawing half can be used for. Don't write your masters thesis on it, but it's soooo much better than an on-screen keyboard, and in my opinion it's also better than those floppy keyboards you usually get with tablets. Those keyboards detract from the portability of a tablet. This keyboard does not at all. When folded it is a tablet. The length, width, and thickness are that of a slim tablet. This is NOT one of those 2-in-1 laptops that are famous for being a mediocre laptop and a mediocre tablet. This is the best tablet ever because it has a drawing tablet, great battery life, no fans, and a keyboard that's good for emails and such. It even has strong magnets to keep the two halves together so it feels like a one-piece tablet when folded that way. The processor is snappy within windows. You can browse the internet with a real Windows browser seeing the full version of your sites without any lag from the CPU. It is not up to playing Crysis, and a 10 inch tablet is a dumb thing to play Crysis on anyway. It's fully capable of playing youtube videos with 10 other tabs open while you edit a word document though. The Atom CPU is part of why this is so thin and it means it never overheats, despite having no fans. The lack of ports is annoying. You can get a $5 adapter to make the microusb a regular USB A 2.0 port, but If that microusb was a USB-C it'd be much more useful. I have a little netbook at work for cloning/working with hard drives and I wouldn't need that if this thing had a friggin USB-C port. The pen works wonderfully. However, I bought a Fujitsu T5000 stylus which has an eraser on the top. The included Lenovo pen is more well made, but doesn't have an eraser or any buttons that could be assigned as an eraser, and it's unnecessarily large. The Yoga Book had an issue where it would sometimes not wake from sleep, forcing you to do a forced reboot. BIOS firmware 04WT22WW seems to have completely resolved the issue. It's a very simple download/install from Lenovo's site. It quick charges crazy fast with the Lenovo charger. It puts out 2A at 12V. Your phone charger doesn't, so don't use your phone charger on this then say it charges slow in a review! Grrrr. I'm doing math lessons. I place my problems or instructions on one side of the screen and Onenote on the other for doing the equations. It's perfect. I highly recommend the Windows Yoga Book over Android. It's very natural to have multiple windows open on this. On Android you get splitscreen and that's it, and if you've used that you know it's clunky compared to Windows and some apps don't even work right in it. You have more customization in Windows and have both better security and better control over that security. You have about a million file explorers available in Android but even the ones that cost money don't compare to Windows explorer. Windows 10 will be current for a long time while Android 6 on the Yoga Book has already been supplanted by 7 and 8 is out now and isn't available on the Yoga Book. Android leaves you behind. I really love this device. It's a tablet with laptoppy extras that have no downside because of how beautifully this was designed. Don't buy this as your workstation if that's what you need, but if you need a tablet this one is simply the best.Read full review

What I hate about tablets is the pop-up typing screen which takes up half the real estate on the screen. The Lenovo Yoga Book solves this with the electronic typing/drawing surface. In addition the typing/drawing surface closes the tablet to form a secure caccoon for the screen. The tablet is fast, has more than an adequate amount of memory, and even handles gaming pretty well. The tablet battery easily lasts an entire day with moderate use. The charger is small, which makes for easy packing. The screen is gorgeous. Love, love, love this tablet!

Its amazingly solid for how thin it is. The screen is bright, the speakers sound good, the keyboard is great once you get used to it. There's amazing engineering that has gone into the making of this.

I bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 from 2011 and hated it so I did extensive research on the Yoga Book and I LOVE IT!! It is very fast, sleek looking, light, and the halo keyboard is way easier than I expected. I would definitely recommend this product!
