I took a look at this one the other day and was wondering if anyone has it and i would like your opinion of it, it is a 2 in one. Looks pretty neat
one of my concerns is speed and i saw a small port for a hdmi but i do not think a regular hdmi will fit in it so what does one use to hook it up to a projector. It does not have a vga port so how do you hook it up to a vga projector? My projector does not have a hdmi port. I do not see a micro midi port on it, unless i am wrong, then i could get a micro mini vga adapter

Hi, Robin. Out shopping again I see. :)

Are you speaking of the Pro as here?: Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro: Laptop Tablet Hybrid - Multimode Ultrabook Laptop | Lenovo (US)

Lenovo is making some awesome configurations. This is one of them. It should be powerful enough depending on resource architecture you get. It does have a micro HDMI-out port on it, so an adapter cable should work. Expect to pay some bucks for that unless they came down in price.

If your not going to use this for more than your seminar presentation, a less-costly tablet may do as well. There are some nice ones.

Good luck in your hunt. :)

Or you could get USB - VGA (USB to VGA Adapter | eBay) or the communal Lenovo docking station.

I travel a lot and always use VGA. I can't be faffing around with adapters so I'd probably go for an X240 but fortunately my old X201 is still going strong.

Yoga looks nice though I must admit.

no i am talking about this one


Lenovo Yoga 2 2in1 11.6" TouchScreen Laptop 4GB Memory 500GB Hard Drive LENOVO YOGA 2 11 - 59401972 - Best Buy



i do not see a micro mini port on it, i see a micro hdmi port on it which is weird because it normally comes micro mini and you attach a vga or hdmi adapter, i have those. But this says hdmi port but i have here the same model but in the levano yoa pro 2-13, which i am demoing for the festival, i cannot find a micromini port on it, i assumed they are similar one is just bigger than the other and both have different processors, but i have not had a chance to play with this one and this one is way too expensive for what i need it for

Here is a side picture of the levano yga 2-13
The hdmi port you see, i just tested it by plugging in my two adapters to see if it fits, i have not tested it to see if it works, is very small. Looks like a micro mini one but it says hdmi on it

When i plug in my vga adapter it seems to go in but i do not have the time to set up my projector to see if it actually works, maybe sunday before i pack them all up i will
I have not physically held the yoga 2-11 only looked online to see the specs, so i do not know if it has the same hardware in it. I also have a usb to vga adapter. Since this does have 2 usb ports that mght also work
Rember the picture is larger then it looks

I need vga more than hdmi, most of the projectors including my own do not have hdmi, so it has to either hook up with a micro or usb vga adapter

Yes the seminar is this weekend

that is not mine, that is the yoga 2-13 on loan from Microsoft, I used that as an example only.
This one is $1000, I am not spending that for seminars only, I have a windows 8 laptop from dell that I use but I need a touch screen because it is so hard to show touch with a non touch screen, the yoga 2-11 is much less in price and given that it has an intel processor and I am running several programs at once, it will give me some speed and enough hd to run all that I need to run.

It gives me the ability to have a laptop and tablet.

Actually Microsoft sent me (I have it shown in our chat area) 3 laptos, one acer, which I am not fond of, one thinkpad which I also do not like the feel of it, it actually has a trackball back in it, and this Yoga 2-13 that I am actually typing on now, I will tell you this one is real sweet. but way too expensive for me
Keyboard types like real one, the flip back is real cool.

I am deciding what to get by May which way I will go either the Yoga 2-11 or the Surface Pro 2 comes down in price. Microsoft is suppose to give a deal to Microsoft Connections Partners like myself but they have been sitting on this "deal" since Oct 2013, depending what they decide will depend on what I get.

I also have here 6 different tablets. 1 Nokia, 1, Lenova, 1 Dell Venue 8, 1 dell venue 11, 2 Surface Pros
and 8 windows phones, combination of att, Verizon and team mobile, htc and nokias

They are all sitting around my dining room and living room right now charging up

I will tell you I am in heaven this yoga 2 13 is amazing, too bad it is so expensive for me, but I am betting it might come down in price because the 2-11 came down 100 bucks from when it first came out.
It moves amazing, the touch is very good, the regular keyboard is very good so is the touch keyboard, this is an i5 with 8 gigs, with a 250gig hd. Man this one is real sweet. It is an ultrabook, actually very light and when you flip it so it becomes a tablet it ways less then the surface pro. Lets say if this one comes down in a better price ,I would snatch it up. Right now it is $999 too steep for me at this time.
Again I will wait till May and see what develops then I must get a touch screen something, because I have 10 seminars planned from June-Oct and still scheduling more
