[QUOTE="Protomartyr, post: 916149, member: 82599"] I've been using my ThinkPad S1 Yoga for 6 years and it's still going strong. What I've noticed that has changed: [LIST] [*]Reduced battery life (lasts around 1-2 hours unplugged) [*]No new driver updates (especially problematic if you have a driver that is not compatible with Windows build 2004) [*]General wear and tear [/LIST] The battery problem can be fixed by just purchasing a battery from Lenovo and installing it myself. Luckily it's easy to order parts from Lenovo and their service manuals are very detailed. I'm still on Windows 10 1909 and haven't received any updates to build 2004 or later. Lenovo has stated that the S1 Yoga is compatible with build 2004 so I'm just waiting for my device to receive the update. Performance is still excellent but my needs have changed. I need more RAM to handle the VMs that I run (currently have 8 GB that is soldered; 16 GB is what I would prefer). I also would like to do some gaming so a dedicated GPU is another requirement of mine (currently have Intel integrated graphics). When I do eventually get a new laptop, I still plan on using my S1 Yoga regularly. [/QUOTE]
