Is that the complete model name? I have a "Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13". If
you can boot pretty much any Linux, dmidecode should give you that. See

I have no idea what Balena Etcher is. I usually use dd to copy to the
raw device, e.g. "dd if=example.iso of=/dev/sdb". Do not copy to a
partition on the raw device, e.g. sdb3.
Which ISO?

OK, so what exactly do you see? Does the USB stick so much as get to
its boot menu?
