    Hello everyone,

    I just got an used Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop from Cowboom. I paid $460 shipped because it had these dents and some scratches:

    Here are the specs:

    Specs
    Intel Core i7-4500U
    8GB DDR3
    256GB SSD
    13.3" 3200x1800 QHD Touchscreen IPS Display
    Intel HD Graphics 4400
    4-Cell Battery
    Windows 8.1

    I'm wondering if I should keep it or return it. I like its weight and battery life and the fact that it can be downgraded to Windows 7. The laptop has no warranty obviously but I'm leaving the US anyway so that's not a problem.

    What else should I check apart from the yellow color issue, which exists in this laptop?

    I'm noticing that the laptop gets pretty warm around the marked area. I assume because it's close to the exhaust but not sure if that is usual or an issue. It's not comfortable to have the laptop in the lap when it gets warm. :/

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks for your time.
