I saw you make some disparaging comments about build quality with both the Thinkpads and the Yogas, herein, is that right? I mean...I've always found Thinkpads built hell for stout, ready for almost anything, durable...so I'm surprised to see you say that they are not. Did you test/do you have the ThinkPad T series laptop, and the ThinkPad Yoga, rather than the Lenovo Yoga? The one that has all the goodies, stylus, yadda, rather than the Notebook?
I wouldn't disrupt, but I'm going to buy this week (my Thinkpad is now 10 years old, and it wants a rest), and your tastes and demands seem to run similar to mine. The spouse wants to get it purchased ASAP for an upcoming birthday of mine (no, don't bother asking when/how many) and so...{sigh}, your thoughts would be most welcome.
TIA,

BTW: Your question came at a lucky time.
I had asked Alex Turcic to close my account and delete my threads and polls yesterday.
Recently I've had 2 quite unpleasant threads/polls, with head smacking comments and such.
Maybe I'm oversensitive. But where I come from, headsmacking is the nonverbal equivalent of saying "you're an idiot" and a total no-go for me.
(Maybe I'm headsmack-worthy, but it's still against all kinds of web ethics and civilized behavior).
I deliberately had ignored the last thread with such comments since yesterday and only logged in to see whether I've got any news re. my account and such.
Then I saw your question and calmed down a bit.
Still: I'm surprised by the aggression and especially the tone of some statements and have to think over the weekend, whether and how to move on...
