Hi Techies

Does anyone have any experience with the new Lenovo ultrabook yoga?
I'm in dire need of a new laptop and came across this 13" laptop that flips into a tablet as well. I think its handy for Church as a tablet and school work as well. Are they any cons to purchasing a tablet/laptop in one. Will it easily break?

I also came across this Toshiba satelite laptop on sale for $249 at Bestbuy (Model: C655-S5082), but the sales rep discouraged me because of its low AMD whatever...i donno a lot about computers. Is Lenovo a good product?

Break how? Depends on how u handle it

kpolli: Break how? Depends on how u handle it

Please on youtube, you'll see how it flips backwards. I'm worried that if I always flip it backwards, the hinges may break.
Would you prefer Lenovo to Samsung? Thanks.

Samsung (to me) is a bigger brand name so I naturally would say them but Lenovo (IBM) is solely into computers so would go for them instead but Dell also has this kinda product so they would def be my first choice.

Dell? Really?? Lemme check online right now.
I use HP Pavilion, but it started overheating real bad. I've changed the fan twice and its still giving problems. Now it shuts off abruptly. Don't want to spend money on this laptop so I'm desperately shopping for a new one. How about Toshiba - Here's the link for the Satelite 15.6 for $249.

The sales agent at Bestbuy told me to stay away from AMD and that should get intel i3, i5 or i7.

Na wa... AMD is better for graphics so what is this sales agent talking about? Well I have used AMDs thru out, just using my first intel chip.... And my former laptops are still alive till date....

That isn't nice at all. That's a toy or calculator not computer. If anything can't support this graphic card Nvidia GeForce GT 650M - 2GB Video Memory and above (Nvidia GeForce GTX series), I'd rather stick to my old dv6 with first generation Nvidia and noisy fan.

Here is the few list of what I called COMPUTERS

MSI GE GE60 0ND-042US 15.6-Inch Notebook
Toshiba Satellite A665-S6093 16.0" widescreen Laptop
ASUS N56VZ-ES71 15.6-Inch Laptop
ASUS G55VW-ES71 15.6-Inch Gaming Notebook
Alienware AM14RX2-7223BK 14" Laptop

Na wa oh! She said that AMD's overheat and are not for professional use unlike intel. I think I may get a DELL laptop because they're affordable.

Imperiouxx, please explain. Sorry! Did you recommend the laptops listed above or you're telling me to avoid them? Is it the yoga that's you think is not nice or the Toshiba? Thanks.

Though, it depends on what it's to be used for. Either YOGA, TOSHIBA etc are good, those are names. My emphasis is on the machine inside computers Nvidia GeForce GT series graphic card. My list is for what I called computer. They came with my required graphic cards. Hope I have answered you?

Personally I see nothing wrong with the best buy laptop and that fan story is kinda true cos as I said, it is used more for graphics with needs more fan usage

Mind you not only for gamer. If you are working with complex video editing applications and powerful engineering software, you will see the need for Nvidia GeForce GT series at least.

Oh my God!
You guys have made it worse oh!!

I'm not a gamer.
This is all I do (Internet, watch movies, Microsoft Project, Excel, iTunes - I like loud music, Skype - great webcam needed and that's it).

Then get HP envy with first gen Nvidia. Shikena! I will help you customize a laptop soon.

Then buy the best buy laptop then... The sales agent wants u to spend more on a laptop

Bros no lie, u get shares for NVIDIA

kpolli:

Ok, give me some minutes. I will give you an hp link with my customized envy or even dv6 with the latest components. She must buy the one with Nvidia. Her twins brothers will love it (because I know they must love EA Sport - NBA 13). Yea, AMD radeon is good but Nvidia has good revolving technology than radeon. That's why I stick with N

Bro or Sis,
You just derailed my personal thread oh!

Anyways, seems like you're a lotto winner, right? Will you graduate before coming over or you'd like to come with 'incomplete transcript'?

ahwww...am so sorry abt dat... I can wait to finish here...jst wanna get my transcript like that..and d visa will expire in six months if I don't show up in d states..?

idoo4love: ahwww...am so sorry abt dat... I can wait to finish here...jst wanna get my transcript like that..and d visa will expire in six months if I don't show up in d states..?

It depends on what you'd like to major in. Will you graduate within 6 months? If not, just request your transcript in NIG and transfer credits when you get here. You must use that visa the God has blessed you with. Don't let it expire in your hands or you'll never forgive yourself. Real talk!

What's your major?

You won't start all over, but you can start in your 3rd year (not bad) since you're not an Intl Student. Make sure you get at least 6 copies of your transcript/ND before coming over. You'll need it. You should start applying to schools now.

Wish you luck!

Shuttle the two countries?? idoo4love didn't tell us that she's the daughter of the prez!
If she spends a month in the US, what happens to her classes in Nigeria? That's a long time to be out of school, don't you think?
What kind of friends do you have, by the way....

for the HP Pavillion, whenever you want to use it, always raise it up so that all the fans (including the ones beneath the computer) will function properly or better still you can purchase some kind of pad that you can at the four stands to raise it up and allow proper ventilation.......
