Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
Overall this is a thoughtful and very usable hybrid, with an abundance of both little touches, like a motion-control system that works via the webcam, and big ones, like the keyboard automatically disabling when the Yoga’s in slate mode. While I’m not sure that anyone really wants a tablet that’s quite this big, at the very least it’s a solid contender for the laptop user who just wants the occasional touchscreen experience available.
WIRED Lenovo motion control system lets you manage audio and video, hands free. Stays fairly cool, even under load. Solid battery like Fujitsu FPCBP159 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook A3100 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook A6020 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP160 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP171 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP176 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP251 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP199 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP233 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP168 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP182 Battery life (4.5 hours) versus the competition. Special sleeve covers the underside keyboard when in slate mode so you aren’t feeling the buttons …
TIRED … but it’s sold separately for $40. Fan tends to run constantly. SSD bizarrely partitioned into 7 chunks, leaving just 44GB of usable space on C drive. New rectangular power port easily mistaken for USB. Hinge needs tightening.
LAPTOP: the Touch Screen for many tasks is a great alternative to the mouse. Especially when touching buttons or surfing the web.
The trackpad is multi touch and oversized, the keyboard is excellent, the Core i5 is very capable, and the screen is large, bright, and vivid. It has got to be one of the lighter weight 13-inch laptops.
Good battery, good to watch a show on the plane, 2nd monitor ready (HDMI out), USB 3, Windows 8 (I like it a lot), and a really small Power "brick" make it a worthy competitor for lots looking for a new machine. And all this in a Lenovo for $1,000...I got no arguments.
Sure it is not for gonna be for everybody, but if you like what you see (what it is) you will not be disappointed. For me it is a 8.5 out of 10.

As for Yoga 13, I really worry about the hinges. 360 degree hinges are nice when they are new. But as time goes by, things will go wrong. Maybe not the hinge itself, but material fatigue on parts near by can be a problematic. They can get loose over time, screen wiggles at every touch will be most annoying.

Most places say at least 6), someone needs to make up their mind on how much usable hard drive space there is. It looks like you can claim up to 112 GB by deleting partitions, a big difference from your reported 44.
