Yoga 2 Pro Rocks... Just another reason...

This machine boots from being off in about 3-4 seconds, same amount of time it takes my Chromebook. I still can't get used to it. 
In fact, most times if I've done a reset, I have to actually check if it actually rebooted. Not sure if this is due to Win 8.1, the Haswell i7 , something on Lenovo's part, but whatever it is, it totally rocks...

As far as I know, the memory is absolutely soldered to the mother board, so forget about any possibility of upgrading it. Replacing it would require a lot of high tech SMT rework tools (and skill) and would almost definitely not be worth it.
I would cancel the order and order the 8GB version. Remember the intel video is "shared memory" and in the worst case can eat up half of your 4GB of memory leaving you with a 2GB memory system when doing 3D gaming etc.
The SSD is socketed and thus replacable and potentially upgradable, as is the Wi-Fi card, but nothing else is that I know of. You can verify by looking at the pictures in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

  • Just need a lousy screw for a yoga pro!

    One of the screws fell out of the back of my yoga pro and lenovo's absolutely WORTHLESS website is of absolutely NO VALUE in assisting!  The "support center" poput won't connect. The "find service provider" popup won't connect. Would it really be all that difficult to simply list the providers by state on a SIMPLE webpage somewhere? I also need whatever weird screwdriver is required -- is there something wrong with a phillips head screw? Does Lenovo enjoy making more complicated than it already is?

    That's really sad.
    Use some liquid Lock-tite.
    Works great.

  • Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

    Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
    Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
    Tried installing new RAM.
    Tried installing new hard drive.
    You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
    Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
    Any help appreciated...

    It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
    That said, the two comments:

    would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
    ...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
    I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
    In any case, good luck.

  • Yoga Pro 3 - Wifi dropped connections; refuses to reconnect

    First day of owning my Yoga Pro 3. Has anyone experienced intermittent wifi failures?
    I've had trouble on both access points that I have at home. One is an older 802.11b router (set to channel 1), and other a D-Link815 dual-band bgn router (with the 2.4Ghz radio set to channel 11). 
    I've experienced problems using both routers on either channel and when using the 5Ghz spectrum as well.
    Connectivity with either access point lasts from 5 mins to 30+ mins (in limited time I had available to use it so far).
    Far more frustrating is that when dropped, the YP3 refuses to reconnect. Manually selecting the access point in the network connections charm and clicking "Connect" results in failed attempts at connecting and system will refuse to connect to any Access Point for a random amount of time. At one point I had attempted to reconnect about 20+ times before it did reconnect.
    Obviously, tried rebooting without any change in behavior.
    I uninstalled the Broadcom wireless driver (the system the auto-installed a Microsoft driver which, from the version number, appeared to be an older version of the same Broadcom driver as they used a very similar numbering scheme and were very close). No change. I reverted that change.
    Are there known issues with these wifi cards/drivers accessing open wifi connections? I live in the middle of no-where, so have had no compelling reason to secure the access points.
    What else should I try?
    Thanks

    My WiFi connects fine @ 2.4 GHz only Access Point (netgear wnr2000 v2) 4 rooms away (~ 35 feet and my Linksys router is on the same room as me so I get 866.5 Mbps all the time), giving me fluctuating connection speed from 243 to 300 Mbps. I generally don't use the 2.4 GHz band but I occasionally try it to check for stability. It's working fine but there's too much 2.4 GHz clients in our area so I use 5 GHz for Netflix, Hulu steaming where low latency stability is needed.
    Definitely try reseating the antenna so you can rule that out. If you still can't connect @ 2.4 GHz, try other 2.4 Ghz access points or it's just that you get a defectve Broadcom 4352 card or it might be even Windows 8.1 drivers itself.

  • Ready to install fresh win 8.1 on new Yoga Pro 2

    So, I just got my yoga pro 2 Friday. Can't stand the extra stuff and 7 particians. 
    I've got a usb stick with a copy of win 8.1 on it. I can boot to it and get the windows installer started ( I stopped at the partiican table)
    I got the drivers folder from the D: on the yoga backed up.
    Got my win 8.1 pro product key written down.
    Don't think I will need any of the lenovo apps.
    Nothing else I need, right?  I did actually make a system image of the fresh install on another external drive when I got it, so if i did need to go back, I can.
    The windows installer will take care of all partiicans, correct? I'm new to EUFI boot.  I can see that legacy mode is disabled in the bios now.
    Thanks for any help. Looking forward to a clean install.  Wish I could have gotten this from a MIcrosoft store instead so I don't have to deal with it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    seems you're already ready.

    If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
    If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

  • HT1338 I am trying to download java onto my macbook pro, but for some reason this function isn't recognizing the internet.  The error message insists that I am not connected but I am.  I have tried this through both safari and firefox

    Sorry I didn't realize the above was just a subject line.
    I have been trying to download java for my macbook pro, but for some reason the function is not recognizing the internet.  I am on and have checked several times .... I have checked through both safari and firefox but to no avail.  Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Not really a reply just some added info:
    This is the error message I get saying the internet is not on, but clearly as I can send this message it has to be:
    To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.
    I am connected through Wi-fi if that makes a difference.

    It's not just Chrome. Something is seriously wrong with these new Macbooks. It's all over the web.
    My story:
    Tons of apps were crashing left and right: Evernote, Reminders, Pages, etc. What's worse, the computer had multiple kernel panics in the first week of purchase, none of which could be attributed to Chrome, Skype, or any of that nonsense. When I ran the Apple hardware test, everything came up fine. Took the computer to the Genius Bar, who recommended that I erase and reinstall. I did that, and I just experienced another crash today. I was in Pages, and the entire computer froze, although I could move my cursor.
    Put simply, I dropped almost four thosuand dollars on what should be the best computer on the planet, but is actually a piece of crap.
    I only wish I knew whether it was hardware or software, so that I could actually fix the problem.
    Either way, I severely doubt I will purchase another Apple computer.

  • Any fix for USB 3 port disconnects with Plugable GigE adapter on Yoga Pro 2

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a fix intended from lenovo on this?
    Very pleased overall with my Yoga Pro 2, however one issue is that I sometimes need to use a GigE adapter and the Plugable USB3-E1000 I bought will disconnect periodically - mainly an issue when using the link heavily.
    It is acknowledged by plugable to be an issue:
    http://plugable.com/products/usb3-e1000 "There is known conflict with the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro’s USB 3.0 port and the USB3-E1000. Symptoms include sudden loss of connectivity and failing of transferring files across a network. The current workaround is to use the USB 2.0 port. We are working with ASIX and Lenovo to resolve this known bug."
    It transmits at about 1.5MB/sec on USB2 and 15MB/sec on USB3 so a clear preference to use USB3!
    Thanks
    Stuart
    PS RUnning windows 8. fully patched, have updated BIOS from 1.15 to 1.16

    If used an external USB Wifi adapter that worked fine (Asus).
    This Linksys should also work in the Yoga.

    It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
    If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
    The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
    The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
    No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
    A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

    Here's my 17"
    In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
    Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

  • How Can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • Yoga Pro 2 Can't Connect to Windows Store

    I have a 3 day old Yoga Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. I love it... But it won't connect to the Windows Store (just says there's no internet connection). I Googled this and found lots of advice on the Microsoft Forum as many people have had issues connecting to the store. ... Check anti virus, clear store cache, run a trouble shooter, check user settings etc none of which have worked. I put a post on the Microsoft Forum and but because it's a new machine users there say it's a Lenovo problem? 
    Please help because there's no point in the Start page without apps and I may as well swop it for an Apple. 

    Hi,
    Firstly, try to use WSRESET command to clear Store cache for test.
    In addition, Use APP trouble shooter to fix it.

  • Yoga Pro 3 Touch Pad Not Working With Win10

    This has been hinted around in several other YOGA Pro 3 WIN 10 upgrades but we probably need to start splitting out each particular issue. My upgraded to Win10 with no issues on the upgrade itself. I performed the upgrade with a mouse attached and now I no longer an switch back to using the touch pad. Another way to say it is that my Fn + Delete button no longer works. I checked Synaptics for a driver but they don't list one for Win10. Any one know a work around to get the touch pad working again or a suggestion to fix? Thanks

    I'm in the same boat - no touchpad after upgrade. I am sure we are the first of thousands to experience this issue.
