Too pricey IMO. It's interesting that some PC suppliers have finally decided that it's better to offer Win7 than to lose sales. It will take a little longer for some others to wise up.

nice looking laptop but i would still rather have something like a 13" macbook air. they have better battery life, are lighter, and better screens.

edit: actually, it looks like samsung beat apple to the punch with getting out the high res screen.

It's the last 40g that makes the Samsung such a heavyweight.

Better screens? I'd take a Samsung 3200 x 1800 13" over the crappy 1440x900 on the MacBook air any day.

yea, i just noticed that and was editing my post. apple has been dragging their feet on getting the retina display out for the air....

the only thing going for the air is battery life

I am probably going to get the Yoga 2 Pro, though I've heard about issues with yellow, so I might wait to see it in person or till it gets fixed

1199$ at best buy for 256GB SSD 8GB RAM i7 4500 (HD 4400) and obviously 3200x1800 screen

I don't get the pricing here. The Lite model, which is just the same with a lower res screen, half the SSD size and half the RAM is less than $800. I don't believe all these differences amount to $1000. IGZO screens are simply not THAT expensive, memory is dirty cheep and SSDs have a nearly constant price per GB, so I feel someone's trying to rip me with this price.

I also can't understand where's the 15" version. There was one when this was called Series 9, and it's exactly what I want. QHD+ is plenty of resolution for 15" and Sharp makes IGZO screens of that size.

You are paying for the exclusivity, something which will be ploughed back to R&D. And why would Samsung use IGZO?

The same reason they sometimes use LG panels?

Its running Windows 8.1 Pro................

What exclusivity? Lenovo sells a better specced Yoga 2 Pro for less.

Of course they're using IGZO. Samsung simplly doesn't produce these high density panels today.

Will I even be able to read text on that thing?

I have a 13 inch FHD and it's already hard enough to read text.

You can blame Microsoft for silly scaling, but 8.1 fixes things.
