    OK I got a new Lenovo Yoga 900 80MK0010US model. They replaced it and the replacement has issues so they are willing to replace with model 80UE003AUS.

    Since I'm not a tech person and this was just a gift from someone who bought me the laptop.
    I am told replacement is better than what I have.

    Here is differences that I see on spec sheets:
    Processor from I7-6500U (2C, 2.5/3.1GHz, 4MB, 1600 MHz) To I7-6560U (2C, 2.2/3.2GHz, 4MB, 1866MHZ)

    Storage from 512GB SATA SSD To 512GB PCIe SSD.

    Nothing else different.

    While my sons do gaming, we just use windows based products and quickbooks. Im sure its fine just want to make sure it is better

    Thanks

    It does appear the new notebook is nicer - at least on paper. The normal CPU speed is a bit slower, but when tasked, it will boost to a higher "turbo" speed - though .1GHz is not likely to be noticeable. The RAM is faster though not sure that will be noticeable either. Generally more RAM gives a bigger bang than faster RAM. PCIe SSDs do tend to offer faster performance than SATA SSDs. But SATA SSDs are already extremely fast - especially compared to even the fastest hard drives. So again, not sure you would notice the differences. Altogether, however, on some tasks, there may be a noticeable performance gain. But still, whoever told you the replacement is better was telling the truth.

    Like Digerati, I also believe this replacement is slightly faster and better than what you currently had, SSDs do offer a speedier experience in most if not all apps, the RAM being slightly faster will help too but as mentioned will not really be noticeable in real life usage, but if will help.
