That might have been what it was to be honest. The one issue that I did face was that it almost refused to install. Windows was aware that an update needed to be installed but refused to apply it for whatever reason. I managed to force it to update by using a little trick I came up with (remove IE and WMP, restart, reinstall, restart, apply updates). I'm not too sure what caused the loop on the brand new machine but it wasn't a big deal either way. > Windows updates are slow, but most are done in the background with no > more than a restart when it notifies. Absolutely. I don't even notice them on my laptop at all. It is a transparent process which, to date on my computer, hasn't caused a single issue. Additionally, it ensures that I have a constantly secure machine which gives me no reason to install an anti-virus of any kind. > BTW, mine was on a Yoga 2 Pro, i7/8GB/256Gb machine with a 100/10 internet > speed. I have 50/50 on my side, I'm not sure what took so much time for you. I like the Yoga Pro 3 so far though: I was worried that the hinges holding the LED panel to the computer would easily break (which is what happened with my wife's previous Lenovo) but they fixed the problem by using metal hinges similar to what the Microsoft SurfaceBook uses. It's a nifty little machine either way but its specs are lower than yours are (it uses a Core M running at 1.2GHz). -- Slimer EFF & OpenMedia Member / IFAW and PETA Supporter Death to those who would abuse and kill in the name of Islam.
