    I paid the same from BestBuy with the i5 whilst I was in New York, although back to $999 now....

    Still cheaper by nearly £400 here in the UK with taxes!

    It's not the best Haswell convertible.
    There is something called the ThinkPad Yoga (has a real stylus) and the Fujitsu Lifebook T904 (also has a real stylus).

    Best Buy has the i5 version for $999.99 which I would call a better deal. You can return to Best Buy for 15 days for any reason, which is better than Lenovo's 15% re-stocking fee for returns.

    And I would argue that it is not "the best in the market". I don't plan on getting one because of the off color yellow, the scaling issues with the 3200x1800 resolution and the poor battery life. Just my opinion, YMMV

    Good luck, Jim

    Don't forget the horrible IdeaPad warranty.
