Mobile trading solution: Lenovo Yoga Ideapad + 14" portable LCD screen

You may have got a unit with a defective fan or bad temperature sensor which is causing it. I am not defending Lenovo, but personal experience with other computers

I will most likely be returning the Yoga 2. So far, I'd say it's a piece of sh*t.

- Very loud fan just from basic surfing with IE. At worst, it's like a jet engine. Bringing this to a public library would be disrespecful, if not illegal.

- It's slow just with basic suring in IE and no other programs open.

- Writing this post, the printing of the letters actually lag my touches.

I spent more money than I initially planned and was expecting to get a great computer, but this is completely unacceptable. Not sure what my replacement will be.

The day they figure out how to put a powerful chip in a fanless design will be a great day indeed.

Perhaps, but I googled the subject and it seems to be a common complaint with this model.

Well, my old Asus Zenbook had an i5 and it was virtually noise-free. At least compared to this.

The new M-processors are fanless, but I'm not sure they're powerful enough to suit my needs.

Most likely, I will go for an Asus Zenbook.

Just wait for Skylake next month.

Keep us updated on what you get. I am also looking for a decent light laptop that works well for trading

Will do. The fan seems to be more quiet lately. Or perhaps I've just gotten used to it.

I know that initially, there runs a lot of programs with updating and so on. This requires processing power.

Still, it worries me that it became so loud, so I'm wondering if I should exercise my money-back-guarantee and go with an ASUS.

Hmm...any ideas on pricing?
 
Well, you can't go wrong with a new Asus Zenbook. I have bought 2 Dell laptops in the past 4 years, both very cheap for the hardware specs but both came so preloaded with bloatware that I had to spend hours uninstalling it. Crap still pops up that I have no idea what the hell it is coming from.

Did you check out the new Lenovo Lavie Z in the link I posted further up? The nice thing it is actually a NEC built in Japan and rebranded by Lenovo for USA. Worlds lightest 13 inch laptop
 
I wanted to avoid the hazzle, but I'm returning my Lenovo Yoga and buying an Asus Zenbook UX303 instead.

I was in doubt, but several of the reviews of the Asus emphasized its great performance and how silent it is. This is similar to my experience with my old Zenbook. I never noticed any noise to speak of, which is probably why the Lenovo bugged me so much.

The Asus also have an I7 processor at the same price I paid for the Yoga with I5, so in the end it was a no brainer.

I loved the design of the Yoga, but the Asus Zenbooks are pretty nice as well.
