    I'm laptop shopping and really can't figure out the difference between the yoga and Flex. Afaict, the Yoga has the screwy keyboard but otherwise they can be configured the same. Am I missing something?

    I'm wanting a smaller/lighter 15" and comparing with the xps and spectre.

    It goes Yoga 920 > Yoga 720 > Flex in terms of build materials, quality, etc.

    Ah, so the $1,000 Flex I just bought from Costco was a bad choice? I've been working on a borrowed Pentium and it was driving me crazy... I can return this if it isn't to my liking. I really bought it because it was the only thing I could put my hands on today.

    If you like it, keep it. I was just writing in generalities.

    How do you like that Flex 5? Does it have a HDD or a SSD? I handled it abit today and frankly it looks like a good machine at a good price. Got most of what you need at a reasonable price. Nice touch screen and up to day components.
