Lenovo has been enjoying much praise recently with its 2-in-1 hybrids, but the Yoga 500 cuts short the company's run of top-form products. Now replaced by the Yoga 510, this cut-price laptop – at around £350 – is one of the cheapest 2-in-1s you can curren...
Sleek and striking design, Good selection of ports...
Appalling battery life, Underwhelming display, Very slow to boot and load apps...
Nevertheless, that's of small consolation when the Yoga 500 lacks even basic stamina to get through a day. With its sluggish performance and atrocious battery life, I simply can't recommend it, even as a budget 2-in-1 device. There are far better alternat...

Keyboard needs work; Screen offers low resolution and terrible viewing angles; Mediocre machine with no sense of individuality;...
Unfortunately, that sense of “ordinary” is one that permeates the Yoga 500 at every turn, with very little to save it.

well built, nice sober looks, decent IPS screen, nice keyboard if you don't mind short travel keys, good speakers, well priced...
dim and glossy display, glitchy trackpad and wireless, subpar performance, average battery life in daily use, upgrading the storage would probably void warranty...
On a first look the 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 500 is a pretty nice laptop. It gets Skylake hardware, a FHD IPS touchscreen, a nice bakclit keyboard and it's well built and good looking. Once you start using it though, you'll notice the occasional performance hi...
