Yoga 11 (Windows RT) - worth the discounted price?

Question

As the title indicates, I'm curious as to whether the discounted Yoga 11 price is worth it ($299 + tax). I'm currently looking for a netbook-like companion to take with me when I go to class or work. I'm currently deciding between this and the Dell Inspiron 11 3000. The Asus T100 is a bit too small for my liking, and has some quality control issues. Chromebooks are ruled out largely due to the lack of editing PDF support (there are some apps, but they mostly are terrible).
While I like the form factor and battery life, I'm skeptical of the Tegra 3 processor. That's about 2 years old now, and I've been hearing that the Yoga 11 (and Surface RT first gen) are both pretty laggy when it comes to typing in Microsoft Word and using other apps in general. Have these issues been fixed with updates (particularly, the 8.1 update recently released)? Or would people suggest passing on the Yoga and going for something that's full windows?

Answer 1

I bought a Yoga 11 recently, at the $299 price, and although I have some quibbles, I'm generally very pleased and would recommend it, especially at this price.
Windows 8.1 RT has a very snappy interface, even with the Tegra 3 cpu, and I've never noticed any lag switching between programs, and from the desktop to metro interface. I've also found Word performs very well, along with the rest of Office. I just gave a presentation at a panel this weekend and everyone in my group loaded their powerpoints on my Yoga 11, most of them created on Macs. Everything went fluidly. 
Where you notice the CPU is in loading programs, and downloading/installing software. Programs like Word take an extra 2-3 seconds beyond what I'm used to from my Atom netbook (which also uses an SSD). I suspect the I/O to the drive isn't that fast, along with the processor. My wife has a Nexus 7 with the same processor, however, and it seems to perform better on the Yoga in Windows 8.1. I'm an Android person, but I really wanted a fully functional version of Office for my portable, along with great battery life -- this thing fits the bill, even better than the 11S, which has around half the battery life.
I don't mind being stuck with RT, though it still has few apps, since I'm using this device mostly for tablet-style media consumption, and occasional Office work. It's perfect for that. The thing about it is that the build quality is clearly that of a much more expensive machine. So even though it's got this tablet processor (which, again, is fine, just a bit slow), the screen, keyboard, fit and finish are that of a premium $700 machine, which was their original price point. 
Of course it depends on your needs, but for me, this device is great. Ideal travel companion too, the only exception is that it won't recognize ethernet dongles, so you can't use wired internet at all. Windows 8.1 prevents even the jailbreak that allowed people to load the drivers before. Really stupid move on Microsoft's part, but then they're not the most brilliant company.
