Question 1

Is the keyboard backlit on this model?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The backlighting is turned on or off manually by holding the Function key (fn) and pressing the space bar. The back-lit keys are very nice as well (even lighting, outlined perfectly). Lenovo did a great job on this machine.

Question 2

Does it come with windows pre installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does. Windows 8.1 with some lenovo apps (but they're actually useful to some degree, and doesn't take up too much space, so decide what you want to do with it)

Question 3

Has anyone had problems with scratches screens? Thinking of getting this refurbished model, but I'm picky about screen nicks and scratches. Do these all come with like-new screens?

Accepted Answer

The screen was in new condition, though the exterior of the device had some lingering adhesive and the occasional scuff. Even still, the price is well worth these minor blemishes.

Question 4

Does the high res screen ever lag with an i5 processor?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. I watch 1080p res all the time on YouTube and it works perfectly. Everything also load a lot quicker on the yoga 2 pro than the yoga 13, even start up is quicker. There is a long noticeable lag when I open Photoshop but no lag after opening. If anything the high res of 3200 x 1800 makes everything really small and sharp so you will probably want to change the resolution to 1920 instead. Kind of hurt my eyes looking at everything that small.

Question 5

How old is a refurbished product are is  it a open box return.?

Accepted Answer

Mine looked brand new when it came. It was in lenovo packaging and had lenovo warranty. On startup it was out of box experience. Could have been floor model or return who knows but I saved a bunch of money and got a great product.

Question 6

I need to add this to a domain does it have 8.1 professional?

Accepted Answer

I purchased a refurbished model and mine did not have the 8.1 professional version included with it.  The details page stated what version came with my model and sometimes on the refurbished ones you might be able to get professional so you just have to review the specs page.

Question 7

Can you change the ssd in this laptop? I would like to have more storage space.

Accepted Answer

Its built on motherboard. You will have to get hands dirty and void warrenty

Question 8

Do you have any orange units?

Accepted Answer

I'm not entirely certain but I ordered this laptop and it came in the standard Gray. I it may depend what newegg has n their warehouse, but my money is on them only stocking the gray. Fortunately though, I ordered this and got one in beautiful condition, not a scratch on it, and it's runs like a pro!

Even if you can't get orange, with just a little luck, (since you are dealing refurb), you won't regret this purchase!

Question 9

What is the specific lenovo model number for this laptop?

Accepted Answer

Actually checked the Lenovo website no specifics, on the back of the laptop it says Model Number 20266. Hope that helps.

Question 10

Is the warranty international or for US only?

Accepted Answer

Truthfully, I'm not sure. You could probably clarify with Lenovo.
