It is a good platform and it deserves better apps. I’m hoping that if MS continues to push this transition their huge established market share will bring developers to develop for the Modern UI system. Logos for Windows 8, along with some other Windows 8 apps are still too undeveloped (I’m looking at your Kindle). Logos doesn’t yet seem optimized for touch either although last night I was reading Logos desktop on the air plane it worked well. Logos: Logos runs acceptably on it (i7/8/256) but not as well as on my office machine where I have a powerful processor, graphics card and fast ssd. That makes me wonder if they’ll improve it with software tweeks. The screensaver that defaults on the Yoga has bright yellow fish on it and they show up just fine. Even the new MBP has issues with this for all but the Apple apps. Some other things like Chrome run better at this resolution so until Chrome and others really change their software for the higher resolution displays I’ll keep using the lower resolution. I am running it at 1600×900 and it seems at lower resolutions the yellows are better. Yellow: I never think about the yellow problem anymore. I think they will sooner release a IPad “Pro” to compliment the new “Air” which will have a keyboard and some other features (to compete with the MS Surface) but I think it will keep using IOS which I think is un-developed (compared to Android or Windows) even though its app ecosystem is superior. One of these years Apple will do touch macbooks but they are slow to adopt this kind of thing unless they can do it in a breakthrough way. This is the big advantage over a MBA or a MBP. It doesn’t replace keyboard, trackpad and mouse but it adds another dimension that you quickly begin to take for granted.
TouchScreen: Once you start using a touchscreen it’s hard to go back. I mostly use Windows machines (the MBA was my first mac) and have been on the fence over a MBA 2013, the new MBP and the Yoga (and other options). I’m replacing a 2010 MacBook Air (MBA) and decided to go with the Yoga 2 Pro. What I’ve learned in the last two weeks with my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (i7/8/256).
