DesignscreenKeyboard and TrackpadHardware Performance and Upgrade OptionsNoise Heat Connectivity Speakers and OthersBattery LifePrice and AvailabilityWrapUpLenovo went with a simple sober design for this laptop The vast majority of the case is black with only a few silver accents on the hinges and two shiny Lenovo logos one on the lid and the other under the screen That’s for the version we have here as there is also a red and silver model available in case you want a touchbucket of color on your machine Aesthetics aside the laptop is well built and feels solid in hand A matte soft plastic is used for the entire outer case It’s not the rubbery kind used on the Thinkpads and some other lines thus the finishing doesn’t feel as nice as premium but at the same time there’s no extra coating that could wear off in time so I believe this choice is a safe bet and ensures the laptop would age well The sides on the other hand are made from a somewhat grippier type of plastic which helps when grabbing the laptop and also has a protection role You probably know by now that this is a convertible laptop with a 360 degrees foldable Let’s turn our attention on that screen for now Lenovo went with a decent IPS FHD panel on this configuration It gets wide viewing angles and solid blacks and contrast It’s also pretty well calibrated out of the box but with a strong Blue hue so you might want to use our calibrated profile that can be found here Other than that the gamut coverage is average with 67% sRGB and only 50% Adobe RGB The maximum brightness of only 175 nits can be a deal breaker though as the screen is glossy and simply unusable in strong light So you’ll have to keep this device indoors and even here pump out the brightness to about 80% to reach 120 nits of brightness which I consider adequate for interior use 1 Panel HardwareID LG Philips LP140WF6SPB1 (LGD04A4) 2 Coverage 67% sRGB 48% NTSC 50% AdobeRGB 3 measured gamma 21 4 max brightness in the middle of the screen 175 cd/m2 on power 5 contrast at max brightness 6001 6 white point 7800 K 7 black on max brightness 02 Where your hands go you’ll find a fullsize keyboard with a pretty good layout Our unit comes with the European arrangement hence the small left Shift and tall Enter but all layouts actually get that extra row of keys on the most rightside which will take some time to get used to On the other hand I appreciate the fullsize arrow keys something most other 14inch laptops don’t offer Layout aside this keyboard types quite well and is very quiet once you get used to it The keys are soft and feel nice but at the same time they pose little resistance and have a shallow stroke which means the typing experience might not be that good for everyone I’m coming from the Dell XPS 13 so I’m already used to shallow keyboards and this one is even shallower so while I was able to type really fast on this laptop from the beginning the accuracy suffered A couple of thousands of words later though I dig this keyboard but again if you’re not into shortstroke feedback this might Hardware wise we have the higherend configuration of the Yoga 500 14 for this review with a Core i76500U processor 4 GB of RAM a 500 GB HDD and Nvidia GT 920M graphics First of all the slow HDD poses a bottleneck on performance but it’s actually easy to ditch for an SSD if you want to You have to unscrew the back panel to get access to the internals where you’ll find the storage bay the WiFi module and the RAM slot The RAM is however hidden behind a metallic shield and you’ll have to bend its metal latches in order to get to the DIMM and replace the existing stick with a larger one It’s not complicated but do it at your own risk! As for the storage bay it looks like Lenovo put a sticker on one of the cage’s screws (topright) so if you attempt to remove it yourself it might void warranty Bottom point upgrades are possible on this laptop but you’ll probably want to ask an authorized service to perform them for you or live with the loss of warranty Now that as That aside the Yoga 500 14 keeps cool and fairly quiet in most situations There’s a fan inside and it’s active all the time even when performing everyday activities or when the computer sits idle but it’s barely audible in this case In fact you’ll probably rather hear the HDD then the fan When running games or other more demanding tasks the fan ramps up to a maximum noise level of around 43 dB at ear level which can be annoying if you’re playing games with the speakers muted for instance but otherwise can be easily covered by the speakers *Daily Use – 1080p Youtube clip in IE for 30 minutes *Load – playing Need for Speed Most Wanted for 30 minutes Speaking of those the two stereo speakers on this laptop are actually surprisingly loud and not that shabby in terms of audio quality either They do lack bass and sound a bit tiny but they are above average in their class of a midrange ultraportables As for the connectivity this computer comes with Gigabit LAN Bluetooth One of the final aspects to address here is battery life Lenovo puts a 45 Wh battery on this computer which is a fairsize for a 14incher However the laptop is not very efficient in daily use once you multitask between different apps and we had to set the screen’s brightness to 80% in order to reach the 120 nits brightness we use for our tests As a result here’s what to expect in terms of battery life 1 55 W (~8 h 10 min of use)– idle Power Saving Mode screen at 0% WiFi OFF 2 8 W (~5 h 40 min of use)– very light browsing and text editing in Google Drive Balanced Mode screen at 40% WiFi ON 3 75 W (~6 h of use)– 1080p fullscreen video on Youtube in Internet Explorer Balanced Mode screen at 40% WiFi ON 4 7 W (~6 h 30 min of use)– 1080p fullscreen mkv video in VLC Player Balanced Mode screen at 40% WiFi ON 5 145 W (~3 h of use)– heavy browsing in Internet Explorer Balanced Mode screen at 40% WiFi ON The computer is bundled with a 65 Wh charger Then there’s the price The device tested in this post is available worldwide either as the Lenovo Yoga 500 14 series in Europe and other regions or as the Lenovo Flex 3 14 in some others In the US the base model with a Core i3 Skylake processor 8 GB of RAM the 500 GB HDD and the FPD IPS panel sells for around $550 at the time of this review while the Core i7 model sells for $730 with the Core i56200U configuration sitting somewhere in between That’s a very competitive price Follow this link for more details and potential discounts at the time you’re reading this post In Europe the Core i3 versions start at around 600 EUR but make sure you choose a configuration with the FHD IPS panel as some of the entry level models are paired with a much crappier TN HD display and you’ll want to stay away from it Based on my experience with the model reviewed here I can’t recommend buying a Lenovo Yoga 500 14 right now due to its subpar performance plus the wireless and trackpad being so glitchy And that’s a pity cause the laptop is pretty good otherwise well built with a nice keyboard and a decent display But unless there’s clear evidence that the issues mentioned have been dealt with getting one of these is a lottery and might end up being a very frustrating experience If the performance gets addressed you’ll still have to live with the poor trackpad and short battery life and also probably have to replace the WiFi chip which is an easy job though That could be an option for those of you that absolutely want a 14inch hybrid because there aren’t many alternatives available in stores There is one solid contender though the Acer Aspire R14 R5471T (reviewed here) which is an overall better device imo and only somewhat more expensive but also smarter configured $699 can g 3/5 Memory 8 GB DDR3LBrand LenovoProcessor Intel Skylake Core i76500U CPU.
