I think the ThinkPad Yogas have the same pen, but the regular Yogas may be different. This is definitely the best Yoga deal on right now, but the shipping delay is a big caveat on that.

The X1 Yoga is a nicer machine but an older generation. The 11th gen Iris Xe graphics on this is a big deal.

If you need something now, also look at the ThinkBook 14S Yoga.

This one is now OOS, my shipping date switched from April 1 to April 18. I am ordering the 14s thinkbook one now since it should ship in a week.

I can't believe it ships at the end of April! With ces you would think there will be a better deal by then but 700 is 50% of 1400..

Is one generation a big difference? The 10th gen is already pretty good in terms of integrated graphics.

I like to know how you all remove bloatware (please kindly advise the steps), and if IBM thinkbook 14" or similar has lot of bloatware. thanks a lot.

Do a complete reinstallation of Windows which can be downloaded free online and your activation number from the laptop...totally legal. A much cleaner system....

Looks like this is no longer available for order.

Thanks to @sunfox for giving me the push to order vs the flex5

Its a matter of preference I suppose, but I absolutely abhor it. I simply refuse to use any laptop with that idiotic layout. I've purchased my last few laptops from eBay/US just for this reason.

I don't play those games but I'd imagine this laptop could handle them quite easily the Intel 11th gen comes with integrated graphics that are pretty good overall.

Is the 8 GB soldered RAM has an extra slot in the Yoga? The rep was saying its only in the Thinkpads and not in Yoga.

I was browsing the other Perkopolis deals and found a similar one in a Lenovo Thinkbook 14s Yoga for $905.
https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/perkopolis ... XTBXYGI400

This model basically looks like the 13" Thinkpad Yoga sized up to a 14" screen. It even has the garaged pen. Only noticeable difference is that its missing a trackpoint and looks to have consumer laptop style keyboard.
Specs:
- 11th Gen i5-1135G7 CPU
- 8 GB RAM
- 512 GB PCIe SSD
- 14" 1920x1080 IPS screen. 300 nits

Yeah, this is a mid-range config with i5 CPU / 8GB RAM (all other configs say "temporarily unavailable"). But if your needs are modest, this is seems to be the next best thing to the original deal.

Also, it says it Ships in 1-3 business days - compared to the almost 5 months wait for the L13 Yoga
