Hey guys so FINALLY my Macbook died and now I need to get a new laptop because I am not fixing a 5yr old logic board. I am looking at the Lenovo yoga Pro 3 and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good high quality laptops that will surely last me 3-4 years and preform the same or better than the Yoga Pro 3?

 

Budget- $1000-$2000 (Preferably around the Yoga Pro 3 price)

 

I want it to be able to word processing, browse the web, watch video, light gaming maybe but does not matter. 

 

Thank you for any help.

Macbook Air is a good laptop. The Pro is good too, but I love the value and battery life of the Air

Asus UX301LA if you can afford it. It is like a work of art that is also an ultrabook.

The CPU is one of the best for an ultrabook. Lenovo is great for the money, but The Asus would be high quality all over the place. The keyboard is amazing for a laptop, The whole laptop is covered in gorilla glass and ceramic, which feels awesome, and the trackpad is arguably better than a MacBook. I went from a 17" laptop to this, and do not regret going back. I also have a Surface Pro 2, and sadly I almost never use it anymore, just to digitally sign a document.

If you wanna stay with Asus maybe the ASUS Zenbook UX303LN? If you can wait a little bit more and more laptops are going to be coming out with 900 series graphics, which is going to be a big improvement for mobile gaming.

Ok but for not gaming and simply work based things such as word processing. The Lenovo has had reports of its core being to underpowered so im looking into something alternative but it has to have great build quality and will last.

Lenovos are great high quality workstations, which they are probably the best company for price to performance that is not completely cheap build quality (HP).

If you're willing to spend the money on a Yoga 3 I say do it. Lenovo makes high quality products and the Yoga series is fantastic. Although, it's designed more to be a 2 in 1 than anything else, annnd for that kind of moeny you could get something with probably double the power and bigger size.

If you don't need the (literal) flexibility of the Yoga, hands down get the ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
