Yoga 2 13 (non-Pro) compatibility Linux?

Just curious to know if anyone here has used the yoga 2 13 "model with Linux? I ordered a recently and I'm still waiting to happen, I've read some (older) comments that said compatibility was poor and some people say a lot of yoga-based questions have been fixed in recent kernels.

Doing things like hang it, backlight, auto rotation, locking of the keyboard/touchpad laptop-mode, etc?

Guess I'll answer my own question.

With the exception of the reorientation of the screen works out of the box with kernel 3.17 + GNOME 3.12 (using arch linux, but that probably doesn't matter much if you use a modern kernel). Apparently older kernels are buggy with wifi.

Pleasantly surprised. Only problem I've had is that the wireless card seems meh, at the beginning, I thought it was the drivers but further inspection, it seems that it's just not very good. The display is very high quality and overall it is a good laptop.

  • Questions "non Pro" yoga 2

    HY

    I am really interested in buying a Yoga 2 "non Pro" in its edition of "stronger" (i5, 8 GB Ram & SSHD). Unfortunately, some sites show different pictures inside the laptop and so I'm not really sure how it actually looks like.

    The money of the Pro edition is only silver outside but entirely black inside (keyboard, touchpad & surrounding area) with décor a little "rough".

    On some Yoga 2 "non Pro" product photos in money is exactly the same (for example the site of Geizhals of German), but on others, it seems that the Interior is also in money and completely even (do not "rough").

    Here are 2 pictures that should clarify what I mean:

    Yoga 2 pro on Lenovo Homepage: http://shop.lenovo.com/at/de/laptops/lenovo/yoga/yoga-2-pro/

    Yoga 2 "non Pro" on Lenovo Homepage: http://shop.lenovo.com/at/de/laptops/lenovo/yoga/yoga-2-13/

    I really appreciate all the answers that can clarifiy how inside of the "non Pro" is in fact designed. It is silver or black, it is "rough" or not, and it is the same for all colors (especially Black & Silver)?

    Moreover, the fact the keyboard on the "Pro not' have the same backlit like on the Pro version?

    Thanks for all answers & best regards,

    2 13 color of the palmrest Yoga depends on the model of your choice color: gray, black or orange. And it is not textured with Yoga 2 Pro.

    Yoga of orange 2 13: black Palm
    Black Yoga 2 13: black Palm
    2 13 Yoga gray: gray wrists

    I think that these are the colors. Just look at the pictures.

    Yoga 2 13 has a backlit keyboard, you can see by looking at the space bar, because there a torch icon or a flashlight printed on it. I think he's using the same keyboard Yoga 2 Pro.

    Also, feel free to buy a sleeve or the official slot in the case. You must treat her well. The slot in the case is my favorite to protect my Yoga 2 Pro when they travel.

  • Memory ECC on 3.1 Mac Pro compatibility

    Hi guys, I have a feeling that I already know the answer, but I have a question of compatibility memory re: my Mac Pro 2008 of 3.1.

    Specifications are:

    CPU - 2 x 2.8 Quad

    MEM - 8 GB (4 x 2 GB) DDR2 800 MHz

    Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB

    Boot disk - 240 GB SSD.

    Today, I bought a Mac Pro (2 x Dual 2.66) 2007 with 16 GB of ram, but it's ram DDR2 at 667 MHz.
    I bought it mainly for the memory, but it is slower than my memory...

    So, I have the following questions:

    1. I guess I can't use both the 667 and 800 in a computer memory sticks?

    2 - my MP (3.1 2008) would perform better with 8GB 800 MHz or 16GB 667 MHz?

    Is there a noticeable difference in performance based on the speed of the memory?

    3. is there a recommended application to test the memory and cpu as well? I'd like also to know if my CPU is "in good health".

    It would make the evaluation tests of memory?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello, here is a link to a discussion on Macrumors mix different speed RAM on the 3.1, it's from 2013

    but it must be relevant to this day. May be useful to some of your questions.

    http://forums.MacRumors.com/threads/800MHZ-and-667Mhz-RAM-not-compatible-Mac-Pro - 3 - 1.1653183.

    You have gray original install disks for the 3.1, if you have the second drive should be the HardwareTest of the Apple.

    Once in the optical Bay restart by pressing the command + D keys, I think it tells you about the disc, it should start after

    a little time and then you will be able to run the tests.

  • Yoga new tab 3 pro - I would return it?

    Hi, I'm having a real problem with my new yoga 3 pro tab and I wonder if I should just go back and exchange it. I want this tablet (with more ram, frankly), but only if it works well.

    The battery down slightly more than 10% an hour with light web browsing. (with the screen set to love with 35 percent) This is the real problem, but the browser blocks a lot too when I develop some links, he wakes up from his sleep by herself and then stays on about 10 minutes of waiting for me to enter my password, and autorotation - every time - keeps turning to the.

    Should I contact Lenovo and exchange it? Or is this common? I thought he had 18 hours for mixed use.

    Dave

    I think you will find that all of our YT3Pro have the problem.

    Lenovo got ram hogging of the nucleus, often up to 1.3 GB! Leaving the system yor and apps to run less than 700 MB of ram.

    Clearly, it sucks, and until it is resolved by lenovo, you will find that the device will come under critical conditions of ram, soetimes system crash.

    Users who are not the problems are clearly not focusing on their system, while other users are the low ram question a real problem.

    Like other devices use up to 300 MB for the kernel, we have actually been sold a 1 GB device. For a tablet of range modern sucks big time.

    For my part not buy lenovo again. Excellent material of poor software and support!

  • Longevity of the crutch? Yoga of Lenovo tab Pro 3

    I use Surface products for years and had a few surprises. But overall, the quality of Microsoft stand is great.

    What Lenovo? Is there the chance that it will get loose?

    Merry Christmas to all and thanks for responding.

    After a year using my yoga 2 no problem with the crutch at all. And I use it every day. The yoga pro 3 came out recently, so I don't think you can find your comments about this so little time

    -1 GB OF RAM

    -2 GB OF RAM

    -IPS 10.1 "1280 x 800 px

    Thank you very much!

    Matteo

    Yes, okay, sorry.  I thought that I have post in the LR forum.  The minimum level of the OS for Mobile LR is 4.1 so two tablets you list would be allowed in this regard.  The 2 GB memory for the second seems to be better.  The current operating system for the new phones, at least, is 6.x Android, but I'm less sure if the tablets are only up there, yet.

  • First Pro compatibility with 5.5 projects and pricing

    I am using dedicated to Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5... Well, as long as I can remember, and I plan to move to Premiere Pro in the following Creative Cloud. I was wondering how it is easy to import my old 5.5 projects in the more recent versions, and if there is no problem of compatibility?

    I was also curious about the price. I currently have a subscription 'photograph', giving me Photoshop and Lightroom for 8.57GBP / month. To add a single application, I see the price is 13.72 per month, but is this on top of my subscription in progress, or what triggers it to? What is the best way to the addition of Premiere Pro to my subscription?

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti for Premiere Pro compatibility

    Hello

    I put my workstation to level and consider buying a good quality graphics card which will be support smooth 1080 p videos Editing and some after effects rendering.

    I chose GTX 780 it but unfortunately in the list of compatibility provided by Adobe, only GTX 780 is supported. So if GTX 780 it is used, can I use the Mercury playback engine and take full advantage of the graphics card?

    Is also my correct selection? I was at first confused selection between Nvidia Quadro K4200 and GTX 780 Ti. I'm not going to use Maya or 3D Max. We use only Premiere Pro, After Effects, and sometimes Da Vinci resolve.

    Thank you

    It will be detected and it will work, but most of the time it will be inactive, because the rest of the system cannot feed fast enough with data to use its ability.  It is simply a waste of money with nothing to show for it performance wise. See Page Tweakers - balanced systems

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on Win8.1 drivers and wanted to help.

    For Win8x, the Home and Pro versions only see different features that come with each of two Windows versions.

    The drivers for all versions of Win8.1 are the same.

    Good luck

    There are incompatibilities in the USB3.0 standards. They aren't too firm / coherent as it should.  Maybe an update driver for one or several of your devices will help you.  Or maybe another reader is necessary.
