Pretty sure the 2nd gen Thinkpad X1 Yoga is the obvious competitor here, not the 370 which is more of a budget model.

The X1 Yoga is much more expensive. Yoga 370 is cheaper than the X1 Yoga, but not cheaper than the Latitude 5289, I would disagree that it is a budget model. Having tested both, I would say they line up pretty well. X1 Yoga is one price and also size category above.

Pretty lame that you couldn't get passed the stripped screw!

All modes were shown, but nothing about tablet mode. I need to know if it is capable of being a perfect tablet, when you turn the keyboard all the way behind the screen. Does it leave a gap, will the keyboard stop working as it should. Its the MAIN feature of a convertible. I cannot believe that you mentioned a freaking screw, but forgot about that. I have always had a very high opinion about notebookcheck, but lately I just... am disappointed. Its like you are not putting your heart into it and thingk who are you making these for and why. I hope you do well in future. All the best,
