Fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this is working well for me. It loads up fast and can handle all the graphics I work with whereas my old computer would freeze and lock up if I had too many graphics on something I was creating. Also, my old computer wouldn’t link to my WiFi following any MS updates so I was always having to recover and remove them. I’m sure that didn’t help. So far-no problems here! I HATE that MS is going to subscription only for Office. I want to be able to PURCHASE my software-not rent it.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 730-13. You can purchase a product code to activate the Microsoft Office software on the device, installed as a 30-day trial within Windows 10, as a one time purchase rather than subscribe to Microsoft Office 365. Here is a link to some examples of the various versions of Microsoft Office available: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=microsoft+office+2016&_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys
Fits my needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m most impressed with the level of service I received from Best Buy staff. They helped make my laptop decision and this machine is perfect for my needs. I’ve realized how much more I get out of actually talking with an expert vs reading a bunch of reviews.

Potentially a decent convertible laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Yoga was a good compact size and the keyboard felt good. Battery life was acceptable. I bought this laptop as an open box so I don't know if the problems had to do with this or not. I returned the laptop after two weeks because I realized that the touch screen did not work and also that it would not pair with my blue tooth mouse. I did not want to just have them check it out to see if they could fix it, because a new laptop should not come with problems.

High quality budget laptop!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am writing this review with just over a month in having owned this laptop and I am nothing short of content with it. As a college student and a part time job worker, this laptop was a great deal and not that big a hit to my bank account. Sleek design and a great battery life. High speed and super responsive, if you’re entering college and looking for a laptop that isn’t gonna break your bank and is worth it, highly recommend the Lenovo Yoga 730.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Wifi connectivity
Not what I expected for the price point.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WiFi continuously disconnects, even after I have tried to update the drivers. I have to troubleshoot just about daily to reset the router. It's SUPER annoying and if I had known about this issue I would NOT have purchased this laptop. The fingerprint reader is pointless and never works (doesn't ever recognize my fingerprints), I always end up just entering a password and facial recognition is not an option on this laptop. Too many issues with Lenovo Yoga, wish I could get a full refund. I'll never buy a Lenovo again. I miss my Dell.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your WiFi connectivity through your lenovo Yoga 730-13. First, be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer, then update the BIOS files and drives to that latest version of Windows 10.

Here's a tip for making your fingerprint reader work every time: Try lightly sliding your finger over the fingerprint reader. No need to press hard on the reader, in fact pressing hard on the fingerprint reader will distort your fingerprint and cause read errors. If issues continue after you up date your operating software, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried when purchasing this laptop, but I'm definitely pleased. It works great, the touchscreen is also a nice bonus. The only down fall is the camera isn't the best, but really can't complain for the price.

Horrible laptop and nothing like the older Lenovos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop in August 2018 for school because I have been a long time Lenovo user and multiple family members had older Lenovo Yogas that worked wonderfully. However, after a year and 5 months (February 2020), the screen stopped working completely. Geek Squad advised that it appears that the cables in the bezels no longer work and it is a common complaint with this model. I can't understand how after just over 1 year a laptop designed/developed/marketed as a premier 2-in-1 could have cables so flimsy that it is a "common complaint" for the screen to stop working. I was beyond annoyed but ended up buying the Yoga C940 that same day (fyi: after a few months that screen also had issues due to overheating and then completely stopped working after the February 2021 Microsoft update but that is listed in a separate review). I always loved Lenovo, but after two laptops that were each useless after a year (plus Best Buy/Geek Squad issues with the warranty/service on the other Yoga C940), I will no longer be a purchaser of their devices.

I would recommend this to a friend Many problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin my review I needed a computer to start college, so I decided to purchase the lan oval yoga because I had heard great things about the product. In doing so, right away when I turned it on things were not working properly. I would have icons not be saved and be invisible on the display, so I took it and and the guy restarted my computer and it was all set for me to go to college. I was very happy with the computer until a week after having it in college the display would go black. After doing research this is known as black screen and is a common problem with the lanova yogas. From my experience in have not had any luck with this computer and it is currently being fixed.
