Disappointed I did not buy another Apple instead of this.

First let me say I purchase and use a lot of hardware, Macs and PC's I purchased this specifically for a .NET development project I am working at the moment so my needs were - Performance - Nice screen - Nice keyboard/trackpad - Complete MS stack compatibility Secondary needs were battery life and weight General observations This is not a Macbook by any means. It does come closer than most PC's I have used, but in the end of the day it is still Windows and a PC with all that entails. However, if you are on a budget and want something nice that is fast or you just need to be in the Microsoft ecosystem, this is a good buy. Cons Not many but I have noticed a couple of quibbles - Fan noise, if you leave the fan setting in the BIOS on its default performance setting the fan kicks in if the CPU's are at 25% utilization or higher and they can be noisy. You can switch to balanced mode which did cut the fan noise down at the cost of performance. When I benchmarked it in Geekbench, switching to balanced knocked about 10-15% off the performance numbers which isn't terrible but if you want maximum performance leave it at its defaults. - The screen resolution is awesome for those apps that support it. I have found though that many Windows apps do not render properly. Some are super tiny and some are a bit fuzzy! 4K still seems to be in transition. - Windows (however, I will say Windows 10 is a big improvement over Windows 8 and I will dare say it is almost enjoyable) Now Pros -Performance is great. Compilatation time is way down, apps are snappy, tested one or two games and the GTX1050 is very fast. This thing is packing a real processor instead of the ultra low power parts that dominate most Windows machines at Best Buy at least. - Keyboard is excellent - Trackpad for Windows laptop is very good, but still nothing compared to a Mac. Apple just has the trackpads nailed. - Screen, very clear, beautiful screen, apps look fantastic that properly scale to handle 4K - Laptop is light, won't break your back - Quality of construction.. seems very well made. No flex in the screen or body, no rough edges or shoddy work - Very nicely packaged ( nice job Lenovo on the packaging) Unknowns - Battery life, just haven't tested it yet, but I think it is going to average 5 or 6 hours which isn't bad - How long will it last.. hard to say with laptops. Again for my Macs, I know I am going to get a solid 4-5 years out them no question, but Windows laptops it is a mixed bag. I have one Windows laptop that is still going after 8 years and now is a decent Linux machine and others that have died in the first year. Summary This is a very nice Windows laptop and for the price it is hard to beat.

has great specs nice to use....but.... Ran light room super slow. everything else seemed ok. Screen also would randomly go crazy. traded it in for a spectre with weaker specs and works better.

bought my first unit, and within a week, the dreaded black line was showing up in the top right corner, in addition to more light leakage than should be happening on a laptop this expensive. I returned the unit, and exchanged for the same one hoping it was a fluke, opened the new one out of the box, did the initial set up, only to be greeted by the absolute worst light leaking I've never seen on a laptop screen. I'm taking it back tonight, and won't be buying a Lenovo in the future.

I had to exchange when I first bought bc the screen was flickering. Best buy was good and exchanged. Now a few months later, doing same thing again, good laptop, poor screen build on it.

I purchased this laptop for general use as a high student interested in computer science. One day of carrying this to school and I'm already absolutely blown off by everything this laptop offers. + Excellent battery life, 4hrs of web browsing and 40% battery left + Great 4K screen, it's just like Apple's retina screen on the top end $2000 models, and with this laptop you too can afford it + Works as a 2-in-1 as you would expect, especially valuable in such cramped spaces as a school bus + From what I read online, the thunderbolt 3 port supports charging and you can plug in an external GPU or docking station + Top notch performance, the 7700HQ runs everything smoothly just like my desktop PC + Amazing keyboard, I would even prefer this over my mechanical keyboard. Comes with backlighting too Some drawbacks if you're a particularly tech savvy user: - Only 1 drive slot, so no putting in hard drives - BIOS requires sticking a paper clip into some hole to the left of the computer to activate - Can't overclock the display at all, even 65hz 1080p won't work

This was a great laptop. Affordable, great quality, got the job done. Then the G key stopped working. And the rest of the left side of the keyboard started to become unresponsive. Returned it.

Went through 3 of these in 3 weeks because they were defective. The first one crashed on me after loading office, upgrading to windows pro, and then updating the drivers - and then the recovery would not work either. The second was found by geek squad because I paid them to set it up this time. They said the tests they ran on it told them it was bad. So, they swapped it out with again the same model, and it unrecoverable crashed on me in a week. I finally went with the HP. ("The definition of insanity...". I was not about to try this model a fourth time!)

Nice style, very good power in a thin, lightweight laptop. The body of the Yoga 720 is thin and susceptible to damage far too easily. Lenovo makes is as close to impossible to change operating systems. Needing to start fresh with the Enterprise version of Windows 10, this has been a frustration. That and using Windows 10 has led me to desire to go to a previous version of Windows, since 10 doesn't even work with too many Microsoft programs.

Great Laptop - Touchscreen Stopped Working Though. And there doesn't seem to be a fix now that Lenovo has moved on to other models.

I was excited to finally get my new 2 in 1 laptop but when I went to set everything up, I found out that someone else had already set the computer up in their name. I was not very happy receiving a used computer, so I called Best Buy and they told me to take it back to my nearest Best Buy to exchange it. I want to exchange it at a store Best Buy told me had one in stock but when I got there they didn't have it. I am disappointed with Best Buy because I really wanted the Lenovo laptop.

I do a lot of Photo editing and my older computer renders the photos at least twice as fast as this one and this 1 gets locked up a lot. I brought it back to Best Buy they swapped it out 1 time thinking it was a motherboard issue and the new 1 is having the same problems. I would not recommend this product To someone who is looking to do photo editing. And also did not have a direct card reader I need to use A USB card reader to upload videos.

when it’s not freezing up it’s great . I believe the problem is with windows but I can’t seem to get this to stop freezing intermittently.

I was going to need a computer for some consulting work and decided to look for powerful enough for my needs. When it comes to laptops, everything is a trade-off. You can have small and lightweight with a less powerful processor or get something beefier and sacrifice those things along with battery power. However, this laptop strikes an excellent balance. As far as know, it's the only 2 in 1 on the market with a quad core i7 and a GTX 1050 graphics card. I didn't know how much I would make use of tablet mode, but it is quite handy for watching Netflix in bed or browsing the web sitting on the couch. While it is huge for a tablet, it actually works fine in that role if sitting down with it. My complaints about tablet mode are on the Windows side, MS still has yet to build in critical functionality needed to support 2 in 1s well. I have only done limited gaming on it, but it's great so far. I've played Bioshock Infinite at max 1080p settings and it plays almost flawlessly. It's impressive to see this kind of game performance in a more professional, thin profile laptop. It would have been unheard of only a couple of years ago. Thunderbolt 3 is two lanes only, but that's enough to support eGPUs in the future if connecting to an external display. The cases are ridiculously overpriced now, but consider that in < 2 yrs you will likely be able to get an eGPU case with a GTX 1060 or 1070 for < $200. However, if you're a casual gamer and care more about being able to play fun games than having the max possible graphics, the 1050 is already a solid performer. The SSD performance has been blazing fast and CPU is great. Note that you should install throttlestop. Turbo boost is turned off by default, but you can manually turn it on and undervolt the cpu when not gaming for more performance. See youtube for more info. Lenovo turns off turbo boost because performance drops way off with the heat produced by that in combo with the graphics card on. It's a thermal trade off that you can manually control. As far as I can tell closest competitors to this system are the hp Spectre x360 15" and the Dell XPS 15". The spectre is a fantastic form factor, but is only a dual core CPU with a much weaker graphics card. The XPS 15 is a great machine, but there are wide reports of QC issues and a similarly equipped model is $1800 right now. It's also not a 2 in 1 and doesn't support a digital pen and importantly, has an inferior keyboard. I got the Yoga for $1250 and it's very close in build quality to the XPS 15, making it an easy decision. You can't go wrong with this laptop at this price point.

This laptop is extremely heavy without annoying battery life. You have to frequently connect it to the charger

This laptop Doesn’t have the high quality features I thought it may have .this is why I returned it .

I was looking for a laptop with good configuration: i7 processor, minimum of 12GB RAM, NVIDIA Graphics, 4K UHD touch screen,.... ; and this was the only one out there with all those features loaded in it. Keeping aside the high capacity crusial hardware (like the i7-7700 processor, 16GM RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1050 2GM Graphic Card, and 512GB SSD), the design is very classy and slim. The keypad is very sturdy, as opposed to the ones on Ideapad models. It also boasts a fingerprint reader which is pretty cool. The HD 720p camera is just fine. Unfortunately, 'Silver' is the only color option Lenovo has in this model. The touch screen is okay, but I observed a little bit of hang and response lag a couple of times. Although the audio is fine, the speakers' location is a bit creepy. They are located right below the laptop, a bit close to the edges. As a result, it won't give you the sound output completely. I thought I'd get the Lenovo stylus along with the laptop. But to my surprise, when I unboxed the product, there wasn't any stylus in the stylus pack (it was empty). I don't know why there isn't any stylus, even though there is an assigned stylus pack in the box. Pros: * Design * Value for money * 4K UHD screen * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Graphics Cons: * Speakers * No color options * No stylus in the box * A bit expensive (but reasonable for the features)

We purchased this computer to get our daughter through her last couple years of college, we have had it 1.5 years and now the battery is junk and we are unable to get a replacement. Thee battery is apparently not made anymore.I am not happy that I spent a large amount of money on a computer that has not lasted even two years.

I only had this product for 3 weeks. It seemed great but by the third week the screen about 2 inches from the bottom started getting fuzzy at times. Not the whole time, but enough it made me worry. Paying $1600 and to have that happen, I took it back. They said they hadn't had any returns and did I want another one. I said absolutely not. I exchanged it for a Dell.

Just had to returned Geek certified open box because of the Black Bar across right upper corner of the screen. I'm surprised they did not notice it because it was so obvious. This is the second one I had to return because of this same screen problem. I thought it was resolved by Lenovo last year because of all the online complaints but it still persist!
