Customer Ratings & Reviews

My primary computer is a Macbook Pro. However, I needed something for work that was quick, efficient, and that I could draw on. The Yoga 720 has been great so far. Reading the reviews, I was nervous about the fan noise and display quality. While the display isn't as beautiful as the Retina display on my Macbook, the standard 1080p HD display on the Yoga 720 is just fine, and many people won't find much to complain about. As far as the fan noise is concerned, it's not bad at all. They do come on often, but it's not that noisy like the reviews would have you to believe. The SSD is quick, and the boot time is under 8 seconds. First time setup was quick and easy. I love the fingerprint reader. If you're looking for a budget friendly laptop that has sturdy/good build quality, this is a great choice.

I bought this computer thinking that it would be a great laptop to use at home and school. It seemed like a great choice because the laptop is really thin and light yet it has powerful processor. I read several reviews that complained about fan noise but I figured that those reviewers were being nit picky and I bought it anyway. I was wrong. The amount of fan noise this laptop makes is completely ridiculous. I don't think that a laptop of this price and age should make this amount of noise. It's nearly as loud as the fan I have in my room. I honestly don't mind a bit of noise from my laptop and it makes sense to expect stronger noise when you're running several programs. However, the only things that I've done are light tasks like browsing the web and watching videos and the fan noise is insane. My 3 year old hp laptop that I bought for $250 doesn't even get this loud. The other thing that bothered me was the screen. The colors looked off especially the whites and it isn't very bright at all. Sometimes the screen would look a little blurry, too. Overall, I really don't think it's worth it to spend this much money on a computer so embarrassingly loud. I can't imagine using this at school or even at home, the noise would drive me crazy!

Overall, the laptop works great. It's fast, the keyboard feels great, the fan isn't too loud, and it works well overall. However, mine has 7 dead pixels. Since it is a 1080p screen, they are small, so I'm guessing a lot of people wouldn't notice. But I definitely notice and it irritates me. Best Buy wouldn't let me return it since I've had a few returns in the past already. So I guess I'm out of luck and I'll have to deal with it I guess. Like I said overall I love it but I just wish the screen didn't have those defects.

I researched this laptop extensively before buying it, and my initial experience was pretty good...before it started going downhill after the first few days. The laptop **will not** wake from sleep. The fans will activate (more on that later), so I know that it's still on, but the display will not turn on and no input is accepted. I'm forced to hold the power button until it turns off, then restart it, thus losing all of my work. I've tried driver updates and reinstalls, reinstalling the entire operating systems, and modifying the driver settings to make sure they should be able to wake the device from sleep, but nothing helps. Sometimes it will go to sleep, and when I open it, it boots, because it turned itself off! The fan will spin up if you so much as look at it. Seriously, doing the simplest tasks will make the fan spin up, and occasionally you'll hear it randomly start as some background Windows task brings the CPU task to any speed above idle. There seem to have been several BIOS updates (on v1.07 now?!), and it's still an issue. The trackpad will occasionally stick when the lower portion of it is depressed, like something is catching and won't release. I have to move it laterally to get it to release. This is a brand new laptop, so it's not like I've spilled something and that's causing issues. I'm returning my device and looking at other brands, because this is just unacceptable. I would avoid this model until Lenovo can actually release fixes for these show-stopping problems.

Love this laptop, 2-in-1, pen support, light weight, back-lit keys, quiet with 1.08 bios and Notebook fan control. best laptop $600~$700 can buy right now for 8gb, 256gb

I have read some of the reviews on this laptop, and some are true. I have owned this laptop for six months now, works like a fine tuned clock. Now back to the reviews, Sometimes you do hear the fan, but is very rare for me. Very nice crisp screen, well lit keyboard, and its pretty fast. I upgraded the memory to 16gb, and it really goes. It seems to do everything I need effortlessly. I think this is a good purchase. My only con is, the price. I did get mine on sale, and I had Best Buy certs to help with the cost, other than that, Great unit.

Lenovo, you ROCK! You have hit this one out of the ball park. If anyone were to ask me to describe my ideal laptop, THIS IS IT. Who could ask for anything more? I have been strictly a mac user for the past 15 years and after reading the reviews on this laptop, I decided to give it a try. All I can say is that you exceeded my expectations and will continue to brag about this laptop to everyone I know. Thank you from a very satisfied customer.

I've had this for a couple months now, and have absolutely no complaints. It's light, has great battery life, and is plenty fast for anything I need to do (mostly school stuff). The display is great, and it boots really fast with the SSD drive. In regards to the fan noise issue - I have seldom even heard the fan turn on, and it has never been anything that is even remotely distracting to me. I would definitely recommend this machine.

I bought this few months back, I was happy with the purchase with thin design and touchscreen option. After using it for 3 months now, the fan noise has increased and is so loud. It keeps distracting me a lot.

Hi, I don't meant to give lower ratings, but I don't know where to ask this question. I was originally not expecting the lenovo pen coming in with the order. However, I saw a box that seems to have a pen, but it turned out to be empty. I checked the manual, and it says the pen is also on the checklist. So can I get a reply on whether I should've received a pen? Thanks!

As others have mentioned, the fan spin up inconsistently and is very loud. Additionally, the color seems off - blues have bit of a violet coloring and yellow has a hint of green. I tried a color correction .icc file from notebookcheck.net, but it only helped a little with the yellow. I tried adjusting myself, but it just got worse or thew off other colors. I love everything else, but I'll be returning this due to these issues unless a BIOS update is available in the next 2 weeks that can fix them. The latest BIOS on the Lenovo website is v1.05 from from March 2017, same version the laptop shipped with.

I've had this laptop for less than two days, and I already love it. Main pros: Quick, the touchscreen is very responsive, and the hinges are really solid. The audio is okay, nothing very special though. The keyboard and touchpack are good, and the fingerprint reader is really good. All in all, this is a great product! I'm glad I got it.

't was time to upgrade after seven years of using Sony Vaio Z114GX. The performance difference is surprisingly small (Vaio was upgraded to 8GB and 200GB SSD). To be fair, the Vaio was high-end when I bought it in 2010 for $2000, but I had expected a much bigger performance growth over 7 (!) years. Seems that the laptop/computer performance growth has become rather flat... Back to Yoga - it is sufficiently light to function as a tablet, the sound is decent, the battery life is shorter than advertised (5h of browsing and alike). Thunderbolt port works fine (bought a CableMatters extension with HDMI, USB, LAN, VGA), with a few glitches on wake-up. The event viewer contained errors from the moment I unpacked the laptop, but Lenovo would not accept any responsibility and it was my problem to solve. Overall - an OK 2-in-1, for the price of <$700.

I can't help but compare it to my 6 yr old Sony Vaio. Which was higher end and still outperforms the Lenova in operating speed and general smooth operation. Yoga does boot much more quickly than the Vaio because of the SSD. Frankly, I was a little disappointed in the Yoga after reading the reviews, I expected more and got less. Although the one problem that has continued to be an issue is that it drops the online connection and this is an inconsistent problem. It may operate well for quite a while and then out of the blue, it drops the connection (NOT an issue with the Vaio). I have sought assistance and had a tech help and it did help but the problem persists at this frustrating inconsistent level. It really diminishes the "love" for the product.

So far the laptop is great. I put many hours on it the first day. performed well. I did purchase the Wacom pen. the Bluetooth recognizes the pen, but the pen doesn't seem to work on the screen. No big deal, eventually I would like it to work. Overall, great so far

Since I got the laptop, it did perform well the first few days of use. Afterwards, I noticed the screen starting coming off and I went to return it but I couldn’t because I was 3 days late past the warranty. I decided to send it out with Geek Squad. i sent it out twice and it came back unfixed both times . I contacted Lenovo and they repaired the screen and did a better job. But I got my laptop back and it had scratches and it was dirty. One of the keys also started squeaking when I got it back and the hinges are now crooked. I dislike this product and I would’ve liked a complete replacement or refund but it wasn’t possible. Do not buy this. Please evade all these problems that I’ve had.

The 2in1 feature laptop is good but when it comes to fan sound its very annoying, it's been only a 3 days since i have bought it. so i am planning to go back to store may be return or find a solution.

I just graduated high school, and was researching possible laptops for college in the fall. Since I will be spending some time in a dorm, I was really interested in a 2-1 laptop that I would be able to view shows, like from Netflix and Youtube primarily, as well as tackle my day to day school tasks with. I was between this, and the HP Pavilion, w and decided to go with this Lenovo laptop because of the superior display (or so I thought). I really regret making this purchase. Less than a week after my purchase, when I would be watching Netflix, the screen would kind of flicker, and I could tell there was an issue with the screen. I took it back to Best Buy where they exchanged it for a new laptop; I wanted to give this another chance. Within my first day of playing around with it, it flickered again. I am not sure what it is about viewing things on here, but something isn't right! I was frustrated that I spent this much money on a laptop to be let down twice. The flicker is too large of a problem for me, so tomorrow I will be returning this for a Macbook. SUMMARY: Pros: Nice feeling keyboard Touchpad is very responsive and easy to use Touchscreen is very nice and useful Cons: Display will bug out on you Edges are kind of sharp so when you are typing, kind of digs in your wrist

First, let me preface this by saying I dong write reviews, let alone negative ones but when you spend $1000 when all is said and done you would think that someone would stand behind their product, either seller or manufacturer. I bought the predecessor to this model and I loved it for a year...Though glitchy at times and problems with wireless card. More annoyance than anything else. After the 1 year mark, it became increasing unreliable; shutting off randomly, touch screen issues, boot problems and batter life. One evening, instead of letting unit sleep, I decided to shut it down completely so that it could reset its systems. Well, it never came back on. Key board lights up but no boot noise, ie fans etc and monitor is black then led indicator on body turns off.. Best Buy wont support it and Lenovo wont support it. Motherboard is the supposed culprit. Upon doing some research this is a very common problem. So after spending $900+ (after taxes, office suite and antivirus program) I have nothing....So enjoy as I did for your fun filled 12 months but start saving your $$ now in case the curs of the 12 month marker comes knocking at you door. I will not purchase another Lenovo product and will not be shopping at Best Buy. Hello Amazon and /or Fry's!

Prior to buying, I read reviews about an issue with the fan being very loud. Since this was in the minority, I purchased anyway and took a chance. Unfortunately, the laptop I purchased has the loud fan issue. They aren't kidding - you can easily hear the fan from across the room 15 or 20 feet away. Other than this, there have been no issues, but this one's a show-stopper for me. I called Lenovo support and they indicated that this is a known issue but there's no fix out yet for the 720. A call to the geek squad confirmed the same thing - no fix yet. I have an option to wait on the fix, but since it's brand new and no one could give me a date for the fix - it's going back. Hopefully they get this resolved. I've only had it a couple of days, but everything else has been flawless.
