Windows 8
Rated 80% by by B.-KimThe black, soft-touch, chiseled look is sharp, and I prefer its feel, durability and scratch-resistance to aluminum - or worse, the faux silver plastic.
screen resolution
IdeaPad Yoga by THATCH--RST (Mar, 2013)It's not Retina beautiful, but the glass and smoothness of it is beautiful.
IdeaPad Yoga by B.-KimScreen/keyboard/mouse: resolution is okay, but works well for W8/RT's "Metro" interface.

Type
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by B.-KimOther pluses: Navigating many everyday "computer-y" things in Android and iOS is tougher than in RT.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 40% by by Matthew-Horrocks (Apr, 2013)windows rt was not fun, didnt enjoy the windows 8 experience, couldnt do anything I wanted it to do, it was more of a tablet than a laptop, I loved the design and wished it did what I needed.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 100% by by W.-Rosado (Apr, 2013)Windows 8 RT feels snappy enough, haven't encountered any performance issues.
Operating system
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by B.-KimYes, it's essentially a "locked down" version of Windows 8 and you can't install any "traditional" Windows programs.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 100% by by Ross (Apr, 2013)The Yoga 11 is an incredible product for those who can work in the Windows RT operating system (research Windows 8 vs Windows 8 RT if you do not know the difference).
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by THATCH--RST (Mar, 2013)Originally I thought Windows RT was meant to be a competitor to tablets like iPad and Android.
Screen
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by A.-Namasivayam (Mar, 2013)The 11in size is perfect + the screen is gorgeous (even though its only 1366x768) + sound is the best I've ever heard in a laptop.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 100% by by A.-Walker (Mar, 2013)Unless you're working outside, 50% is still plenty bright to do whatever and nice enough for streaming video.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 100% by by kadzy--tech-freak (Mar, 2013)really appreciate the larger screen, wonder if I will ever use my laptop again.
Battery
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 60% by by Lawrence (Apr, 2013)It is light and has 10+ hours battery life.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by A.-Namasivayam (Mar, 2013)The rubbery finish and removable stickers are great - looks slick and clean when de-badged.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by B.-KimIt'll be $799, almost ½ lb heavier, slightly bigger, and probably realistically squeak out only 5 hrs of battery life.
Apps
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by THATCH--RST (Mar, 2013)It doesn't have that full load of apps available that Apple and Google do, but it has a full-PC powered browser on a lighter platform.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga | Rated 80% by by THATCH--RST (Mar, 2013)What happens if I want to install something like iTunes?

Which is better for a student?
I know these computers are pretty similar as far as operating. But which is best for a college? My favorite things about the yoga is its sleekness/premiumness, its size, the amount of usb ports....
