Performance Benchmarks
We've taken a look at a lot of Ultrabooks over the years, so we have a good idea of what the performance of the Yoga 700 will be, but let's take a look just a few benchmarks to see where it stands among a few competitors.
Cinebench
Cinebench is a benchmark based off of the Cinema 4D animation software and gives a good idea of both single and multicore CPU performance.
Looking at both the single and multi-core scores for the Yoga 700, we see it compares evenly to its Broadwell and Skylake ultrabook siblings.
SiSoft Sanda
Sandra is a more general purpose system benchmark which measures several different areas of performance.
Both the CPU arithmetic and the multimedia scores tell a similar tale for the Yoga 700. We see performance as expected, pointing to good thermal performance on the Lenovo ultrabook.
How many gaping security
How many gaping security holes does this laptop come with? It’s a rather pertinent question given Lenovo’s recent history regarding the matter.
Good question. Honestly, I
Good question. Honestly, I don’t think they took nearly enough bad press for that whole debacle. Personally I don’t know that I could ever buy another Lenovo machine. Trust broken.
You would figure it would be
You would figure it would be a point of interest for reviewers of Lenovo’s PCs ever since, but it seems they’re inclined to brush it off as a non-matter.
Not sure why you think that
Not sure why you think that the SuperFish issue is so bad. I buy Lenovo laptops so I can run Linux on them. They usually make great Linux machines so SuperFish and the derivatives dont affect me.
Someone should get that
Someone should get that Carrizo FX8800P Based Lenovo Y700 gaming laptop and test it with a Steam OS/or Linux Mint build. I would purchase this SKU, but I need more information about its ability to run a Linux/Debian or other Linux based full OS.
You should note that even a Linux OS image installed can not protect users from any spyware baked into the firmware of the OEM’s device, should the OEM go as far as installing the spyware in the UEFI/BIOS that can get around even the Ring 0 OS level of security.
Some gaming laptop readers need Pcper to test under Linux the only AMD Carrizo(FX8800P) based gaming laptop that uses Carrizo/Excavator and a discrete GCN latest generation GPU(Non Polaris graphics) based System/APU(with latest GCN non Polaris integrated graphics). So some testing of this Lenovo Y700 with a Linux Build would be gratefully appreciated. Polaris discrete mobile based laptop SKUs are still not going to be out in great numbers until 2017 and hopefully there will be some Zen based APUs to pair with some Polaris based discrete mobile SKUs into 2017.
Has any one heard of any Excavator/Bristol Ridge Carrizo refresh Laptop SKU design wins that offer any DDR4 dual memory channel options, as I would be seriously interested in that also. I very interested in any Linux Based OS tests for Bristol Ridge based SKUs also and Hopefully Phoronix will be testing some Bristol Ridge laptops under Linux because Phoronix has not tested the current Carrizo/FX8800p Lenovo gaming SKUs for under Linux.
Lenovo is the only one with
Lenovo is the only one with an (600$) affordable 17″ IPS laptop on the market.
The next cheapest, big laptop that doesnt have SHIT SCREEN, costs 1200$.
That alone makes Lenovo the BEST laptop maker around. Fuck your child porn security.
I always wipe and install a
I always wipe and install a clean windows when I receive an machine. My only concern is the recent drop in quality from Lenovo. the new dell to me.
It doesn’t matter if you
It doesn’t matter if you reinstall Windows or not, the malware was in the BIOS (the call-home helper utility) and if it detected the OS didn’t have it, it reinstalled itself from the BIOS. Superfish could be removed by reinstalling, but the Lenovo driver utility thing couldn’t be removed.
+1 that, does it come with
+1 that, does it come with malware installed? You could go to grc.com and use a few of Steve Gibson’s free online tests to see if Lenovo replace the root cert and other nonos.

The trackpad looks like the one on my Dell Inspiron 3000 which is pure garbage. You hit the right button and it registers as a left click half the time.
