Customer Ratings & Reviews

right laptop for the job at the right price.second one.

I was looking for a replacement for a 7 year old 15 inch Acer that finally died. I wanted a powerful lightweight 13 or 14 inch 2-in-1 that would be easy to use on the road since I travel a lot for work. I also purposely delayed my purchase to wait for the recent release of the new 8th generation Intel processors. After a lot of research, I could not justify spending over $1000 on some premium 2-in-1s such as the Lenovo Yoga 920 or the HP Spectra x360. I understand that those had the I7 processor and a 512 GB hard drive, but those features did not justify a 50% price increase over the Yoga 720, especially considering poor reviews for heat, fan noise, and trackpad (HP) issues. After researching models from Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, and HP at my price point of around $750, I decided on the Lenovo Yoga 720 13 inch. I have had the computer for over three weeks now, and I am very happy with my purchase. It is taking a bit of an adjustment to get used to the smaller size. The biggest change for me is the lack of a number pad I had with my old 15 incher, but I am adapting. Moving from a 15 inch display to a 13 inch display has been much easier than I thought it was going to be, though. The tradeoff is that this Yoga only weighs 2.9 pounds! That is something I appreciate every day. Some observations... Pros: I love the fingerprint scanner and SSD. This thing boots up incredibly fast. It has a PCie SSD, which is faster than the M2 SATA type, and way faster than the old spinning hard drives. I will never have another computer that does not have a SSD! The fingerprint scanner has worked flawlessly. Some have complained about fan noise from last years model (Yoga 710), but I have found this year's model to be extremely quiet. Granted, I am not doing CPU intensive tasks such as video editing. But I do run a lot of apps at once, including video streaming. When the fans (there are 2 of them) do run, they are rather quiet and have a gentle whooshing sound - not a whiny squeal. This computer stays cool to the touch! I have not noticed any hot spots on the top or bottom. The trackpad is fantastic. It is incredibly responsive and easy to use. I used to have to exert a lot of force on my old Acer, but this has a really nice pressure point. The same can be said about the keyboard, though I wish the keys had just a bit more travel to them. But not a deal breaker... My old Acer had top-mounted speakers. I really wanted that feature again and the HP Spectre x360 has them. But it cost over $300 more and had other major problems. The Yoga 720 has 2 down firing JBL speakers. They are not going to blow you away, but they are not bad either. I had bought a small lightweight Bluetooth speaker in anticipation of these not sounding good, but I have not found the need to use them yet. That was a pleasant surprise! The hinges feel sturdy, so I believe they will last a long time. The screen is very good. Color and brightness seem just fine, and are easily adjustable. Cons: I wish it had another standard USB port. The new USB Type C ports are a nice future-proofer, but my stuff is all old USB at this time. I am getting by, and I have read adapters are easily available. I wish the power button was mounted on top of the keyboard somewhere. When I travel, I carry the computer in a computer-type backpack. I have to be very careful to remember to slide the laptop in with the power button facing up. Otherwise the power button will constantly be being pressed/unpressed as I move around with my bag. Those side-facing buttons are notorious for breaking over time. Overall, I am very happy with the Lenovo Yoga 720. With the 8th generation processor, it has all the power and performance I need with a very slim, lightweight profile. I see no need to spend several hundred more for a so-called "premium" 2-in-1.

Power cord is horrible! We’ve replaced it twice so far, and you need to take up an entire outlet just to plug this computer in. Just for the cord alone, I would not recommend this computer

This is a laptop especially for those who need word

Love it. Which the office 360 wasn’t an annual fee

Tablet works as expected. Screen bright and clear.

I had purchased the lenovo yoga and have been very satisfied but the hinge on the laptop has been creaking when I flip the screen up or go to tablet mode. I haven’t had the laptop but 20 days and already having concerns.

I like this 2 in 1 notebook but the mouse movement is a little crazy. Another problem is that after I close the PC (not shut down) then reopen, often my internet connection is lost. This never happened on my old notebook.

This thing flies. A lot of the people here seem to be really picky, or not know how to use a computer effectively, or know that there was a huge Windows Update pushed out a few days ago, probably resulting in higher load than normal or glitches. Here's what you should do when you first get this computer: - Right after you turn it on, update to the latest Windows FCU. Afterwards, RESET the computer, it will reset to a clean, updated windows. - After reset, run Windows Update to make sure everything is updated, and then update the apps in the Windows Store. Uninstall McAffee and the Games if you want. Then restart the computer. - After Restart, download an app from Github, called NotebookFanControl, choose Lenovo Yoga 2 13, set it to 50% and enable it. Make sure it starts with windows. That's it. Once you do that, the fans won't run at all during normal loads, and there won't be any performance issues. In the end, you will have a Quad-Core, high benchmark (4200/12000 Geekbench 4, 2.4ghz DDR4, TB3 System with great build quality, fast intel Wifi 8250 Card, Screen Quality (which is definitely Glass NOT Plastic - not sure what that guy was smoking), with an extremely fast (3000/2000 R/W) Samsung NVME drive for $800, when other similar specced devices are $1000+) The only Cons are the slight rattle of the speaker, but they sound MUCH better than the Dell XPS's, just make sure that Dolby Atmos is set to Dynamic.

The computer is very good for the price point. It comes with everything you would need, but I had an issue with the wifi connection. That is why I am giving it a three star.

Had some difficulty on the set up and running Ultimately gave yo my daughter Need another Mac

Touchscreen quit working. Lenovo points to Best Buy, dropped off at GeekSquad no laptop for 3 days. We will have to see what else transpires.

Overall good product but 3 stars because my touch screen stop working after a while.

Laptop is great except that you can't write on it with any pen. Laptop doesn't have palm rejection.

Touchscreen quit working 1 month after purchase. Geeksquad looked at it for 3 days could not fix, Bbuy would not return it. Lenovo said send it i. For replacement, but research on net shows lots of issues with this touchscreen due to a driver issue. Will have to wait for update, none as of this review. It’s been 60 days.

I had picked this laptop computer over several other models because it had the memory and hard drive that I wanted and needed. And it was on sale. That was a bonus. Unfortunately soon into the setting up process the touch scene function failed. That was not acceptable at all so I returned the laptop.

my display has green line apparently thats an issue with these laptops

Don't even consider buying. I am regretting every second after buying it. Horrible battery backup, and the amount sound it makes is insane. You might you are working in wind tunnel center. lenovo customer service is even horrible.

DO NOT BUY this laptop! Worked great when I first started it, but as soon as the Windows Updates got applied automatically during the set-up the touch screen stopped working. Lenovo is aware of the problem but cannot fix it. Microsoft is also aware but seems to be in no hurry to issue a patch to solve this problem. Trust me, don't waste your time with this.

I love everything about this laptop! It was perfect! Except for the mouse pad, it would randomly stop working! I was shown how to fix it but then a few hours later it was messing up again! Then I found reviews online and there were a lot of other people with the same issue.
