Default Gateway Not Available — WIFI Issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A quick internet search will reveal to you there is a known issue with the installed driver set. Lenovo or Best Buy should be fixing everyone one every time. It should not be up to the consumer to solve this issue. Very frustrating and challenging to deal with. It was completely unusable in the home — thankfully discovered this issue before the first day of school. These days setttings and configuration changes on computers way too quickly. At least a written tutorial on how to fix should be handed out to every consumer. If I have not successfully figured it out — it’s going back.

Poorly Engineered
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After just one month of use the screen started flickering off and on. We took the unit back to Best Buy but we were two days beyond the thirty day replacement time. The man at the desk told us the problem was known by everyone but the people selling the units. We now have a computer that has to be returned for repair. We will be without a key part four lives for who knows how long. The wire goes through the hinge for the two parts that connect. It's not good. I'm upset with the manufacturer and with Best Buy for selling a product they know is defective.

Kept disconnecting from Wi-Fi
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this computer based on the reviews hoping that I wouldn't get one with a flicker issue or bad Wi-Fi but ended up with bad Wi-Fi. When I brought it home it worked for about 30 minutes then it would disconnect from Wi-Fi every few minutes, did all the updates I had seen Lenovo recommend to other people on their reviews but it didn't help. I had to return it not going to deal with warranty repairs, went with a Samsung that was about the same price with the same specs no Wi-Fi problems.

Worst Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the size and functions of this computer. The battery lasts not quite 45 minutes from 100% charged to dead. I’m disappointed I have to carry a charger with me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Lenovo Product Expert
Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-13 ships with a 4CELL 48WH, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 10 hours. If you are only getting 45-minutes of battery life, it is possible that there is incompatible software installed on the computer. 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.
Slow, not reliable

Great PC, bad quality control
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As many reviews state, there is a screen flicker that makes the laptop unusable. Lenovo will insist it can be fixed with software updates, but that isn’t true. Will also take weeks to try and repair. Google led me to a quick video suggesting to take off the back plate with a T5 torx, and give the screen wire a light tug. Imagine that, no more flicker. Worth the purchase, after this quick fix.

Can't even get it set up
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Soooooo disappointed. Got this to transition from old laptops, with a tablet feel. Spent 3+ hours trying to set it up, but no joy. We were told that there "might" be an issue with the drivers for the WiFi. Well, there sure is! Went to the official Lenovo site, and asked it to update my drivers, but it wouldn't even stay connected long enough to finish the scan to see what drivers I needed. Gonna get my money back. I don't know what I will end up with, but it won't be a Lenovo.

Do not buy this product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this laptop for a total of 8 months in that time the hinge came loose and made a piece of the plastic next to it fall off. With this every time I try and open the laptop the screen bends forward. I have spoken to Lenovo support and they don't want to be held accountable for an obvious design flaw. Quality: Very flimsy and cheap plastic. Value: Expensive for quality Ease of use: Simple laptop for everyday use if it wasn't such poor built.

Bad speakers and touchpad
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound of speaker is not acceptable. Speaker sounds blown. Best Buy staff were not helpful refused to refund even within the 2 weeks of buying it, saying I need to ship back to Lenovo. TouchPad is jumpy and hard to control mouse. Now I know cheap things are not good quality. I am very busy and not worth my time to ship back to Lenovo as I need to buy my own packaging to ship it back.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop thinking it was going to be a great. But I was wrong. The battery life sucks. My wifi connection kept dropping. I did research on the laptop and apparently this is an ongoing problem with these Lenovo models. The laptop battery also dropped 2% every 2-3 minutes. It was not worth the hassle. Luckily I was able to exchange for another laptop.

Screen flicker in 45 days, oops sorry no return for me, my problem now. Send if for "repair", no computer for 4 weeks (thanks so much, was only for my business, clients don't mind).
