Average performance; not what I was expecting.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this laptop for my wife to replace her old Lenovo. Setup was straight forward but the performance was nothing more than average. I have a Dell with the same specs and that machine is far superior to the Lenovo. This Leveno model also has a history of flickering screen. After 3 weeks the unit was returned to Best Buy.

Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-13, model number 81CT0008US, ships with the powerful Quad-Core/Eight-Thread Intel Core i5-8250U processor, supported by 8GB DDR4-2400MHz and a 256GB solid state hard drive. If the performance you are experiencing is slower than expected, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. For 2018, Lenovo retained its place for a second year as the best laptop vendor:

No, I would not recommend this to a friendComputer Crashes
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this computer at the end of Sept 2018 to support the work I do associated with my masters degree. During my class last night, the screen went totally black. It's a 'live' distance learning class and attendance is required. There are 'no' make up sessions. So you can see how stressed I was. The computer is still under warranty but when I called Best Buy they said I had to work directly with the manufacturer because I didn't purchase the Best Buy plan. The manufacturer said it will take weeks for them to resolve as I need to mail them the computer (after they mail me the box), and then they will assess the computer and let me know if they will fix it or replace it. As you can imagine, weeks will go buy and I have to attend my classes, but I don't have a computer to support the attendance. I find this unacceptable. Would never purchase a Lenovo again!

Poorly built

Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-13 ships with a 4CELL 48WH, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 10 hours, depending on the work that the device is performing. To maximize battery life, first adjust your battery saver settings. Here is a link to instruction for doing this in Windows 10: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-use-configure-battery-saver-windows-10. Next, to maximize battery life, be sure there are no unwanted programs running in the background, draining the battery. Here is a link to some tips for finding out what is draining your battery:
https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/battery-saver-windows-10. Also, to maximize battery life, try changing your power management setting to a more conservative one. You can do this in the control panel, in the power management category on your system. Select a more conservative power management setting to extend battery life. Finally, if the battery life does not improve, a battery reset may help. Here is a link to instructions for reconditioning a non-removable battery, using the Battery Management Software installed on the computer.
