Lenovo - Yoga 720 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Platinum Silver

For the past few weeks, I've gone into multiple Best Buy stores testing 13" laptops. I bought and returned the HP Spectre because it got so hot that I was afraid it would burn out. The Dell XPS was too expensive and reviews of customer support were troubling. Many others of this size were heavy or had low sound. The new Lenovo 720 was just advertised and not even available on Lenovo's site. The price was great and I have some positive experience with the brand. My favorite aspects of this laptop are 1) light weight 2) lighted keyboard 3) Touch screen with support for Wacom pen 4) stayed cool 5) fast processor. Met and exceeded my expectations and blows away the competition!

Lenovo has really stepped up their game with this one! I did my research among the various 2-in-1 laptops, tablets, and "Surface-like" options out there. With that said, I took a huge gamble buying this model before solid user reviews came through (quite unlike me). So far, I have been pleased with the purchase and the laptop has met all my expectations. I am a young professional and had been looking for something with enough gusto and versatility to get me through the day. Battery life is even better than I expected. Last week, I recorded a lecture for 6 hours, while taking notes and had 50% battery leftover. Pretty impressive. This thing can do a lot. It's almost freaky the first time you flip it around backwards into tablet mode. The hinge feels stable and well-built, seemingly able to hold the laptop in any position. I particularly like to use it as a tablet stand with the keyboard rotated underneath. It's super portable and just the right size to carry around. Previous issues with the Yoga 710 seem to have been resolved with this model. The keyboard is excellent - they have corrected the previous design flaw with the improperly placed shift key. Typing is smooth and responsive, which rivals my old Macbook Pro. Fan noise is also not an issue with this version, so don't let that hold you back. If you're in the market for a new laptop, give this one a try. I think you'll be just as impressed!

What a great computer. I love the USB-C Charging and it is so nice. Lenovo out did itself. I exchanged a 710 for this, I am so happy that I did. The 710 had the most annoying shift button and it just never made any sense why they would put it there, but they fixed it in this generation. I can not wait for my active pen to come and try the art features. What a great buy!

Amazing laptop. Sleek, fast and easy to set up. No excess software comes pre-loaded which is nice. My biggest worry when buying this laptop was the fear of a loud fan. I can 100% say, the fan is NOT loud nor is it an issue at all. Highly recommend this laptop if you are looking for a 2 in 1

Excellent laptop. I bought and used many laptops during the last years. This in particular is the best acquisition I have ever made. Good speed, excellent screen and sound. Easy to reset. (I'm a fan of keeping computers up to date and clean). I use this computer to draw architectural drawings in 2 and 3d. Thanks Lenovo, this machine is excellent.

I had my heart set on a MacBook and walked out with this laptop due to better specs. I really like it, and its very versatile especially for school, writing papers, etc. Lightweight, it is NOT noisy whatsoever and it doesn't get hot, also the mouse pad is fine, I don't know why other reviews here state otherwise. Very sleek and pretty fast. I love the 2 in 1. I just wished Lenovo had a hard case to protect it. Now I just pray it lasts!

I am posting this review because I searched the internet for weeks before finally purchasing this laptop and feel like they don't get reviewed enough. I am not a tech guru so I am reviewing this as a technologically uneducated consumer. I originally purchased the 15.5" Lenovo Yoga 710 but had a problem with the space bar sticking, just one day after I took it out of the box. Best Buy was very understanding and helpful in letting me return that laptop and exchanging it for this one. (One other thing about the 710, it only has half of a right shift key which drove me nuts so pay attention to the details while shopping!) This laptop (720) has a standard sized shift key. I have not owned a laptop in a few years so it's been a bit of a transition as far as keystrokes, etc compared to a desk top PC. But as far as I can tell, only having this laptop for a week, it runs very smoothly and the start-up is QUICK! This is the first PC I have used with Windows 10 but so far I like it- it's just different from what I'm used to. The touch screen is very responsive, as is the touch pad. The 2-in-1 feature is nice and works fine but I doubt I'll be using this in tablet mode much just because that's not what I bought it for. I purchased this to be able to take to class easily which brings up portability. It is very compact, thin and lightweight! I can't believe how much you can cram into something so small! I tested out the battery-life on purpose today in order to review properly and am happy to say that my computer has been running and being actively used for 8 hours and I just got the notification that I had low power and needed to plug up! I would also like to add that this laptop does, indeed, have a back-lit keyboard just like the rest of the Lenovo Brand laptops. I keep seeing complaints that this one and the 710 do not have back-lit keyboards but it is a feature that you can turn off and on by pressing the Fn key and space bar at the same time. I'm only giving this product 4 stars instead of 5 because I have only had it for a short time and am not sure how I will feel later down the road, but first impressions speak volumes and so far, it's good!

This was my first Lenovo. I loved how thin and lightweight this computer was but will be returning it due to the noise of the fan. My old laptop didn't start making fan noise like that until it was 5 years old.
