Widi on the yoga

Does anybody know if widi is possible on the Yoga 13? I know you need an Intel wireless chip and the yoga comes with a realtek wireless chip but I know there are Intel half PCIe adapters that you can buy for laptops. I just don't know if the yoga has a half PCIe slot available or if there is any other way to get Widi on the yoga. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This is so disappointing.
The Yoga has not been shipped here in the Uk yet and I was looking forward to getting one as it seemed to tick all the boxes - provided it did offer a 256 GB SSD option.
Through this forum I have realised it does not support WiDi which I assumed it would. Why on earth does Lenovo not offer this ? They probably have not understood how people now use laptops or PCs these days to stream video off the net and project on a large screen.
Such a basic marketing mistake. Such a shame, I thought this was really the right convetible for me !

Can't Make a Decision on the Yoga 2 Pro

Am in the market for a new laptop and love the look of the Yoga 2 Pro. It has the specs that I'm looking for - i5, 256gb SSD, 8gb RAM - but I keep hesitating over the 3200x1800 resolution.
I am a middle-aged guy (with middle-aged eyes) who will be using the laptop for typical e-mail and internet browsing as well as heavy MS Office, particularly Excel. I looked at a Y2P in Best Buy today and in Desktop Mode even the basic taskbar icons were tiny. Resolution was set at the native 3200x1800 and the scaling was set at Largest.
From what I understand, Windows Store Apps appear just fine, but many desktop apps have scaling problems. Is that a true statement? What about Excel? Are the menus and cells the same size as I would be seeing on my older Windows 7 screen?
If I change the resolution to 1080, will everything remain fairly crisp or will it blur?
The Yellow and Wifi issues are fixable, but I can't get a handle on this high res thing. I'd hate to pay $1k for machine and have to hobble it to make it usable until the software catches up. If you use your Y2P like I would (i.e. MS Office, etc.), do you find yourself cursing at small menus and icons, or are you working away in complete bliss?
Thanks.

I don't own a Yoga 2 Pro, but about resolutions:
TL;DR: If 1600x900 is an option, you shouldn't get any of the traditional blurring caused by changing resolutions.
The long version with math and some history about Apple and Lenovo:
Yes, changing a 3200x1800 native screen to 1920x1080 will make it blurry. Why? Because 3200 cannot neatly divided into 1920 and 1800 cannot neatly divided into 1080. You can't split pixels, so you get some blur as the monitor tries to round-off some things.
Buuuut, if you can set it to 1600x900 (the original Yoga's resolution, incidentally), then you might be OK. It's exactly half the native and shouldn't cause any blurring.
But, I don't own a Yoga 2 Pro, so I don't know if 1) 1600x900 is an option and 2) if there are any other weird things that happen.
But, the normal blurring that happens because you change from native resolution on an LCD is because...in the end...we can't make half-pixels. You have to use integers.
Apple was smart about this, actually:
iPhone 3GS: 480x320
iPhone 4 (first w/ Retina-branding): 960x640
Perfectly double -> no blurring. Made the whole transition a lot smoother.

Do you recommend the Yoga 13 to your friends and coworkers?

I teaching training courses at about 20+ tech companies each year. This week was my first time using my new Yoga 13 as my presentation machine.
After class, 2 out of 13 students approached me and asked about the Yoga. They were in the market for a Windows 8 laptop and liked the Yoga's looks. This rarely happened with my old ThinkPad so it was an interesting development.
I had to tell them honestly that while it is a good-looking machine, it's too buggy for me to recommend. Then I listed all the issues, especially the poor wireless and loud fans.

After having this device since October and giving it a good work out, I'll list the bad things first:
BAD:
Marginal Wifi performance-I went ahead and got a cheap WIFI usb adapter which works great.
Key "board" is a bit wierd feeling.
GOOD:
*Expandability-Able to upgrade to 8 gb of memory and able to have 2-SSD devices. I've got the original 128g SSD and a second internal 256g SSD as well. No other device in this class ahs that capability that I'm aware of, i.e. Dell, HP, etc.
*Reliable-no problems yet
*Fan noise is non-existant
*Keys feel good
*Running Windows 8 Pro with no significant issues other than Windows 8 itself.
All in all, is it perfect? No but for my use, it serves the purpose. Hope this helps.

Mac login acounts too wide for the screen

The older versions worked just fine, but Lion login account icons run left and right and are too wide for the screen on the macmini. So, I have to scroll to get to my account at the end of the list. Is there a way to change this?

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

Installing Windows 7 on the Yoga

My office had me pick out a laptop for work so I picked the Yoga. Unfortunately due to licenses, they had to install Windows 7 (of which I was unaware). Now I can't connect to WiFi because there is no network driver. I googled the issue but can't find any solutions. Our IT guy tried downloading a universal driver but the Yoga didn't recognize it. Is there anything I can do?

realtek rtl8192cu driver worked for me 32 bit windows 7

What's with the Yoga 3 Pro power adapter - it's a USB charger too?

absolutly agree, no chance to buy this cable in NZ. What a bad service. If anybody has a link where to buy one for ANZ would be great.

Yes the Yoga 3 Pro power adapter is a USB charger too!
How does it work?
The special "fool proof" charging cord has two extra pins on the AC adapter end and two extra pins on the Yoga 3 Pro end. The extra pins only make a connection when the fool proof cord is plugged in to the Lenovo charger and the Yoga 3 Pro. When a regular USB cord is plugged into either the charger or the Yoga 3 Pro, it makes a regular USB connection.
Can I charge the Yoga 3 Pro with any USB charger?
No. The Yoga 3 Pro requires 2A at 20V, which is what the provided 40W Lenovo AC adapter supplies.
Can I charge a USB device with the Yoga 3 Pro AC adapter?
Absolutely. In addition to 2A at 20, the Yoga 3 Pro AC adapter supplies 2A at 5.2V (10.4W), enough to charge a phone or tablet. Works for iPad.
Where can I buy spare AC adapters and cords?
AC adapters with cords are sold in the accessories section of the Lenovo store.
Where do I find the part numbers for the AC adapter and cord?
Look for AC Adapters In the PDF Yoga 3 Pro Hardware Maintenance Manual.
What are the USB specs of the Yoga 3 charging port?
It's a USB 2.0 port. It provides enough power to charge an iPhone, but not enough to charge an iPad. If you want to charge an iPad, try the USB 3.0 port on the right of the Yoga 3 Pro.
The Yoga 3 Pro power cable connectors compared with a regular USB connector:

Should I avoid the Yoga?

After looking at quite a few laptops, none of them stick out as much as the Yoga. I am in love with the vibrant IPS screen with the 1600x900 resolution display (because 1080p makes text too small and I don't believe in switching DPI). The design is sleek - it looks very simple and elegant.
But it seems that there are many, many issues with the device. I understand that the constantly-on fan and touchpad can be fixed with driver updates or BIOS updates but now there are threads popping up with physical problems such as the fan hitting the housing - thus making a rattling noise - and that the paint is starting to chip off.
Still it's impossible to tell what percentage of Yoga owners are having issues so I was just hoping that you guys could chime in and say what happened to your Yoga i.e. have you kept it, if you are keeping it - does it have issues that you are dealing with, or have you returned it because the issues were too much to bear.

LeoBloom,
I think you would be very happy with a Yoga 13. The day Windows 8 was released, I went to my Local BestBuy in search of a tablet with a Core i5 processor. I REALLY wanted a stand alone tablet that ran full Windows 8. At the time, the only tablet available at BestBuy was the Asus RT tablet with detachable keyboard. I played with it for a while to get familiar with the OS, but there was no way that I would spend $600 for a 32gb RT tablet. I initially had my mind set on an Acer Iconia w700 or a Samsung Smart PC Pro, but they hadn't been released yet . A blessing in disguise.
Then, I saw the Yoga 13. Honestly, before spending any time with the Yoga, I thought the ability for it to rotate from an ultrabook into a tablet was sorta "gimmicky". Once I got my hands on it, I noticed that this was not a gimmick, but instead, a very solid machine that I could see myself using on a regular basis.
Here's what lured me to the Yoga 13:
--Full Windows 8 installed
--Large nice display.
--Very sturdy hinges that rotate 180 degrees.
--Solid build quality. Nice leathery palm rest.
--Having the option to have a keyboard or precision pointing when needed without having to worry about misplacing a detachable keyboard. (Don't think I could use an on-screen keyboard full-time. Especially on a 10" or 11" display)
--Multiple USB ports without the need of a hub or docking station.
--Uses the same Standard SD as my digital camera
--Very upgradeable. (I learned this after making the purchase)
--You get all of this for $1000
I ordered my Yoga 13 from BestBuy on 11/2 and picked it up on 11/7. I could've returned it within 30 days if I saw something better. Fortunately, I didn't. I mean, this system is so upgradeable with the ability to swap out the 4gb memory card for an 8gb card, and add an EXTRA 128gb or 256gb mSATA card. Crucial.com has the 8gb memory card for $38 and the mSATA cards are $106 and $206. I purchased a 1 year warranty and 1year tech support through BestBuy. Once I get the 8gb memory card and mSATA card, BestBuy will install it as long as it's compatible.
As for the issues,
Yes, the fan is always on, but it's not overwhelming at all. You only notice it in low volume environments or when you think about it. You won't really notice it with everyday sounds such as TV noise, chatter, etc. Besides, I'd rather hear a little fan noise than having a hot ultrabook. I haven't had problems with it being hot or the fan hitting the housing or the paint chipping off, but I treat this thing like a baby. A $1000 baby. I have the Lenovo Slot-In case for it and I put that in another case for traveling. The Slot-In case also doubles as a keyboard cover for those that feel uncomfortable when the keys are resting on your palm in tablet mode.
The touchpad is hit and miss when bringing up the charms or menu bar, but I believe it will be fixed.
I recommend that you purchase a stylus as the 13.3" screen can be a lot of area to cover while in tablet mode, and it reduces finger prints on the screen. This also helps when the touchpad is as responsive.
My only gripe is the horrible partitioning on this device out of the box. As already mentioned, there is a hotfix that combines the C and D drives, but you will have 80gb free, not 100gb. The total C drive is 100gb using 20gb for the OS and apps. The rest must be hidden for Recovery. No worries. Pop in a 64gb SD card and you will have !40gb of free space, or purchase another 120gb or 256gb drive if needed. I was impressed that Lenovo made this fix in less than a month after it's release.
Well that's about all I can think of. I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Problems with Adobe Flash on the Yoga 2 Pro

For some reason Adobe Flash is screwed up in IE 11. sometimes it works, other times that red banner just pops up and says flash is not installed in this browser. i even downloaded and installed the patch it tells you to. doesnt do anything. And Java. I cant get it to work at all even though it says its properly installed on java.com. I know its not Windows 8 thats the problem because they both work just fine on my desktop. Ive had the Yoga 2 Pro for 2 days now so i will tinker with it more and probably get it working but if anyone has any quick solutions on what is causing these issues, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Chrome comes with Flash Player preinstalled; you don't need to install it.
By Mozilla you mean Firefox? Make sure that the plugin is enabled (in Chrome as well).
If that does not solve your problem, describe exactly what "not work" means.

How well will Lightroom and Photoshop CC work on the Yoga 2 Pro?

I am looking at buying a 2 in 1 laptop. I like the Yoga 2 Pro and the reviews on it. I am wondering how well Lightroom and Photoshop CC will run on it to do photo editing like redeye, lighting, blemishes, ect. I want it to run smooth and easy.

I don't own a Yoga 2 Pro, but about resolutions:

Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I try to compose a new message, the window is wider than the screen and I can't adjust the width.

Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Air, I cannot get the mail window to adjust to a size that fits my screen. It is wider than the screen size and although I can adjust the height, the adjustment arrows will not adjust the width. I am not having the same problem with my mac mini since I upgraded that computer. This is a pain because I spend most of my time on my air sending out e-mails to clients

Greetings kbug61,
It appears you are experiencing issues with window sizes and displays. Have you attempted to adjust your resolution at any point? That may be why the windows aren't managed properly. The following article may help you find a solution:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
Your display’s resolution determines the size of text and objects on your screen. By default, the resolution on your display is set to show the sharpest text and the most detailed images. While it’s best to use the default resolution, you can manually set the resolution to make text and objects appear larger on your screen, or adjust it to make text and objects appear smaller so you have more space on your screen.
Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some apps may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.
Set the resolution for your primary display
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Select Scaled, then select one of the scaled resolution options.
Set the resolution for a connected display
If you have more than one display, additional resolution options are available.
After the display is connected, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Press the Option key while you click Scaled to see additional resolutions for the second display. Then select a scaled resolution option for the second display.
If you changed your display’s resolution and now there’s no picture
Connect multiple displays to your Mac
Set options for accessibility

A suggestion to make the Yoga a complete Surface Pro killer

Hey all,
So I got some face time with the Yoga and the Surface Pro at a local computer shop and I must say, I was quite impressed by both. The only reason I like the Surface Pro more than the Yoga is that it has an active Wacom digitizer in it with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity... this is really great for note taking and doing digital art.
So my suggestion,which I'm sure has been suggested before, is to add some sort of real pen input support to the Yoga's screen (and no, a capacitive decapated thumb for a pen is not a viable option). I think with Haswell on the horizon and a Yoga with the option for true pen input, this thing could be a content creator's dream. I know I'd gladly pay up to $200 more than the Yoga's price just to get this.

Agreed. Haven't heard any news to either the use of Haswell or pen input on the Yoga's - have you?

Why is the Yoga only upgradable to 8GB?

Why can I not put 16GB of ram in it?

as noted above. The Yoga does not have onboard memory, it uses a single memory slot. Lenovo would either need to add a second memory slot or put at least the first 4/8gb on board (soldered) leaving the slot empty.

Widi on the yoga
