Edit: All the models are on sale, but only the orange model for the price I quoted. I think the i5, 8, 256 is the best deal and value for your money.

Dang, I think it's out of stock now but I would have been really tempted.

That's a great price for the hardware - tons of RAM and a big SSD - and I would like a companion to my desktop to use around the house. I'm just not sure about the HD4400 at that resolution - I would like to do some light gaming on it (like, just crafting in FFXIV or maybe Hearthstone) and I suppose you could scale everything down to 1280x720 or 1600x900 and maintain the aspect ratio.

1600x900 is a nice size and dpi for a 13.3" screen. 3800x1800 is a 2:1 version of 1600x900 so you get perfect pixel doubling. No artifacts or anything like that.

Also it still shows instock for me.

All the models are on sale, but only the i5 orange model for the price I listed. I think it is the best value and best balance of specs. I am sorry if you think it is ugly.

Edited main thread to make that obvious.
 
Crazy price - I seriously considered the Y2P when I bought my MBP late last year. Felt great, solid construction, specs compared favorably as did the price...sadly I couldn't find any in stock at a BB while I was on the road.

Brett from Aanandtech reviewd this laptop here (he had the i5, 4gb model)

Note the wireless does suck. If you want to upgrade it yourself make sure you do your research for Lenovo uses a bios to make sure the wireless card is on their whitelist of approved wireless cards.

Someone opening up the yoga 2 to put a $30 dollar Intel AC wireless card in there.

I bought two of these laptops. one in January, and one in July, both from Best Buy. The one I bought in July 2014 had the newer AC wifi card.
