I've been using a refurbished tablet for a couple of years.  I like the tablet, but it got dropped one too many times.  :-(However, this Lenovo 2-in-1 blows my old tablet out of the water!  Has a nice long battery life - compared to what I am used to anyway.  I can use the laptop for two or three hours in an evening and the battery is usually only halfway used up.I've used it mostly in laptop mode, and I love it.  The verdict is still out on using it in tablet mode, but will update my review when I know more.
