See below description of the previous laptop, as it became too slow after several windows 10 updates and limited 8GB memory.

Lenovo Yoga2 I3-13

For private and travel use I have a small laptop with 13.3 inch IPS screen. It is a so called fliptop, the screen bends all the way to to the back of the keyboard. The screen is nice and bright. Battery time is about 5-6 hours depending on the usage.
Unfortunately Lenovo have set a Whitelist in the BIOS that scans the hardware before booting. Replacing the dodgy RTL wifi module with a good intel AC7240 card means that the laptop will not boot. I have tried 2 AC cards, even one with a Lenovo part number.
I added a fast Crucial 500G m2 disk and migrated the boot to that disk. With W10 the laptop became very slow. Now with the SSD it is quite OK again.Luckily the SSD did not get blocked by the Bios whitelist, otherwise I would have discarded the laptop immediately.
