“Wondering how well this laptop would work for me. I would be doing writing, research, emails, mostly basic stuff. I would prefer something with decent battery life, that can withstand having 10 chrome tabs open, without dying on me, I'm a multi-tasker.”

This laptop has worked great for me. I do battery-intensive stuff like graphic design and run multiple apps like Gimp and Inkscape as well as MS Office and Firefox for hours with no problems. Some say this laptop has about 4 hours of battery life but I have gotten as much as 6 and more with the work I do. IMHO, the Yoga 710 would be awesome for what you said you would use it for!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This system has a battery life of up to 8 hours, depending on the work that the device is working on. Having 10 windows open would be considered a heavy workload and would drain the battery at a faster rate. The Intel Core I-5-7200U processor has 3MB of cache memory which is more than most processors. This is critical for multi-tasking. The more cache memory, the better. The best way to see if this configuration will work for you, would be to stop by your local Best Buy and test drive this system. See how it performs for you. You may want to consider looking at a Intel Core I-7 processor based system. Most I-7 processors have at least 4MB of cache memory for multi-tasking users.
