So I'm looking towards getting a new laptop, and I've always had decent luck with Dell, but it seems like they're not very well liked anymore? Is the main concern the plastic vs. metal chassis? I'm not really too concerned about price (ideally less than $1000), but are there any other major flags to look out for? I don't really plan to game on it other than casual 2D stuff and I can't really tell from their site what panels are IPS vs. TN.

P.N.T.M. posted:If the screen type isn't directly stated, look for mentions of the viewing angles. Anything around 170 is an IPS display. I don't travel a lot but it would be nice to have something that did travel well. It would mostly be used for mobile internet access and media streaming in the long term. Short term I need something with an HDMI port to attach to my home theater so I can play 2d coop Steam games on my TV from the couch. Looking at that B&N link, the Yoga13 seems like it could be a pretty solid choice too with a similar price range. Has pretty nice specs and the HDMI out I would want, plus the bonus of SSD. It seems highly recommend here too. Are there any major downsides to it? BitterAvatar fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jan 24, 2014 |

Re: Yoga 13 vs. Yoga 2 Pro. Is it pretty much a no-brainer to go with the 4th gen Intel chips in the Yoga 2 vs. the Yoga 13? I don't expect to do anything too terribly taxing on it besides light 2D gaming and video streaming, so is the extra cost of the newer processor worth it? I can't see much else of a difference besides the Yoga 2's insane resolution.

P.N.T.M. posted:This comes up every time someone orders from Lenovo. Here's the deal: Is this in reference to the listed "ships in..." date on their website or actual shipping times? If it says that it ships in 3 days that's just a crapshoot? I ask because I planned to likely order one on Feb 1/2 with the plan to have it before Feb 26. Is that a foolish hope?

I ended up ordering one of the Yoga 2 Pro's from Lenovo's B&N site yesterday morning and it shipped today! So if you're terrified of the long shipping time it's not 100% of the time.
