Lenovo Yoga 700-11ISK Convertible Review

[Redaktion]

Weak cooling. The small Lenovo Yoga 700 is a very portable and versatile companion thanks to its 11.6-inch screen as well as different operating modes. However, there are problems in terms of input devices and the passive cooling solution, because the processor cannot utilize its full potential.

Yoga 700-11 has already been replaced by Yoga 710-11, why wast your time on it, please check Yoga 710-11 instead.

I bought this model exactly one year ago.
Could've been a little sooner with the review.

Overall this is a very usable system for a home-office worker doing emails, word documents and the occasional Skype call.  It's no good for games.

Two very annoying glitches:

(1) The HDMI port does NOT work out of the box with all Type D HDMI cable because the tolerances on these cables are too variable.  You need to buy an HDMI Type D to Type A adapter and then plug a standard Type A HDMI cable into that.  Very annoying, cost me 4 or 5 hours research to figure it out and a trip to the hardware store.  Lost about two weeks' use as a result. 

(2) The wifi is no doubt standard, but very unreliable in practice.  If you go to work in a lot of coffee shops and airport lounges, expect your Apple iPhone to log on in all of them and this laptop in about half.  I use the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone to daisy-chain the laptop on to wifi so I have a workaround but it is slow and annoying to set up.  I have no idea how to fix this and I'm not going to try,  but it is a deal-breaker and no more Lenovos for me.
