Same price at Best Buy but it has the I5 processor instead. Not sure why the underpowered version is at Lenovo for the same price. So far it has a different but good feel. The tablet aspect of it has some merit. Time will tell if it works for me. Have tried all tablets and returned every one of them. With this one being a laptop first, it may hang around my desk.
This machine is essentially vaporware at this point in my mind with Lenovo listing availability as a nebulous "more than 4 weeks" and then tries to sell you the Twist as an alternate. A "sale" like this should not be listed on Ben's unless you can actually buy the product for delivery at some reasonable and definitive point thereafter. I would like to order an i7 version of the Yoga but will not do so under such circumstances not knowing when I might actually get it an what else might be available by then. At least you can still apparently mail order it from Best Buy if you like that particular configuration (which as mentioned is better than this one - and you can actually get it)
