Woot must have several thousand of these stashed someplace. This about the 450th time its been featured in the past 6 weeks. Given that, they are pretty sweet little computers & with a few upgrade tweaks, you’ll have yourself a competent little machine you can haul with you about anywhere if you need more screen real estate than your phone or tablet.
This has been offered quite a bit. I have one and put in 8gb. Very easy to do. Works great. For web, word processing and watching media its a great little machine. I take it everywhere. Not fast enough for real gaming.
One thing is for CERTAIN about this device, it’s not as big in the picture as relative to the hand. I got one like this (same size screen) for a relative and it’s pretty small as standard screen/base size goes. It looks pretty big when you look at the hand reaching for the screen.
I think you guys have talked me into this. I’ve been wanting to get something light and portable that has a keyboard. For those of us that aren’t IT people, can someone post, or IM me, easy directions of how to increase the RAM?
I’ve bought 3 of these (for myself and family) and another was purchased on my recommendation. I did the 8GB upgrade for $31 and now 6 months later am still happy with my decision.
As others have said, this is the best bang-for-your-buck in a sub $500 laptop. Great touch screen, fast enough for 90% of what everyone uses a computer for, enough storage (I still have 90GBs free) rugged, 5-hour battery life.
I typically alert my friends when this comes up on woot! and will again today.
It’s 5 screws and the whole bottom panel comes off. After that it’s pop out the 4GB and add the 8GB chip. You have have a 4GB that you can use elsewhere.
I purchased this one for my wife, and before I gave it to her I purchased a second one for me. I upgraded the RAM on both and will upgrade the hard drive on mine, but I like the functionality of the Yoga, and it seems stable. I replaced a tablet and older laptop with mine. My wife just needed an upgrade.
Has anyone tried to use it to run something like VLC and then feed that out to a bigger screen via HDMI? Thinking about picking this up as something to run movies off my external hard drive.
