The keys offer decent tactile feedback and are placed conveniently for tablet mode use. Interestingly, the USB 2.0 port also doubles up as a power port when you plug in the charger. A USB 3.0 port, 3.5mm headphone jack, a power button and volume rocker keys sit at the right side of the base panel, while the left edge sports a micro-HDMI port, a card reader, another USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0 port.
The base panel clasps perfectly while using the device as a tablet. It doesn't move in tent and stand mode but you don't have to apply a lot of force to move it. It offers the right mix of flexibility and stability, evident while using the Yoga 3 Pro in different modes. These hinges also contribute to making the Yoga 3 thinner and lighter than its predecessors. There are six hinges that look very similar to links on a wristwatch. While the metal casing doesn't look or feel extraordinarily premium, it is the watchband-like hinge (that enables the screen panel to move 360 degrees) which steals the show.
So if portability is what you're mainly looking for, the Yoga 3 Pro will not disappoint you.The top lid and bottom casing is made from magnesium-aluminium alloy while the keyboard panel has soft, rubberised material with a dotted texture. The light weight and thin profile make the laptop very easy to lug around. For context, the 13-inch MacBook Air is 17.27mm thick and weighs 1.32Kg. Also any deeper insight into why my touchpad wouldn't work would be appreciated - it used to do the same thing to me on Windows until I installed the Synaptics drivers.ĮDIT: The mouse and keyboard which I plugged in to my laptop were also not recognised.ĮDIT #2: I ran sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all and now I'm right back where I started - touchpad not working, everything else fine.Lenovo Yoga 3 is the sleekest hybrid laptop around with just 12.7mm thickness and 1.18Kg weight. I was thinking it might just be a case of reinstalling all the xserver-xorg packages that I uninstalled, but I'm not sure how to go about this since there are so many of them.
I've looked online for other solutions, but none of the ones I've looked at have been helpful. I rebooted again the other day and now only my touchpad works.
Sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-input-synapticsĪptitude told me that a bunch of other xserver-xorg items would be removed to deal with the dependencies (apologies but I did not write down which ones though there were about 10 of them all related to xserver-xorg), and after installing and rebooting, my touchpad, keyboard and touchscreen all worked. I looked around and found a solution (can't find the link) which told me to do this: sudo apt-get install aptitude I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my 5 year old Lenovo and immediately my touchpad didn't work.
