Constant issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure if we got a dud, but my daughter has been having issues from the start with this computer. Purchased in August 2018 prior to school starting. Monitor has constant issues with flickering and lines across the screen and constant glitching at times. It is an on and off problem so sometimes doesn't present but the problem has just gotten worse. We have taken it in to Geek squad twice under Lenovo's warranty with them sending it off to get wiring for screen replaced. Second time, lady at Geek squad was kind enough to just open it up to look at it. She moved wires around a bit to make sure they weren't getting trapped in hinges. At this point my daughter has gotten frustrated that she does not want to take it to school anymore because she can't get anything done on it as it flickers constantly anytime she puts it on a hard surface.

New 2-in-1 laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is unquestionably the best computer I've had. Love the backlit keyboard.

Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-13 ships with the powerful but energy efficient 8th. Generation Quad-Core/Eight-Thread Intel Core i5-8250U processor, supported by 8GB DDR4-2400MHz RAM.

Good to start
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this for 2 years and just now started to have some issues. I love the compact size and weight of this laptop also its versatility of turning into a tablet. However my one and only concern is the screen blacking out and flickering at random times. It went from a light flicker to full screen and now I can't see anything at all.

Lenovo Yoga 730
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use in comparison to other laptops, the keyboard lights up and is easy to access, able to type fast. The touchscreen helps minimize the keyboard use in certain situations but it also depends on each user preferences, dictation is the same if you like it, but I prefer to keep up my typing skills when possible. However, it is nice to have the choice for many of the features.
