Good deal for the money, but poor keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a decent deal for the money... as long as you can get it on sale. It's also slim and change charge via USB Type-C which are major advantages. The biggest downfall to this laptop is the experience with typing on the keyboard. There are so many other laptops in the same price range that offer a better keyboard, so if keyboards are important to you, you might not be the biggest fan of this keyboard.

Great Laptop, MUST DO UPDATES FOR WIFI 2 FUNCTION
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer had all the right specs for a primary use laptop, and the metal case and USB C charging at this price is awesome! I need to address one thing, the WiFi does not work properly out of the box. Lenovo should not have sent these computers out this way! Day one, this computer dropped WiFi every 10 minutes, it was unbearable! I was convinced that I was going to need to return it. Then I manually searched "update" in the search bar, did all the updates and it's worked flawlessly ever since. The other minor complaint is the battery life. It will probably get you through a full day of work/school for the first year, but as battery life depletes, you'll be traveling with a charger full time. Luckily the charger and computer are a light weight and small bundle. I would definitely buy this computer again, hopefully this will help other customers realize they do not need to return it.

Very lightweight & compact, sound quality just ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to have a larger laptop, but when it was time to upgrade wanted a little smaller screen size so opted for this model after looking at some various competitor options. Very lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to fit in a backpack or other small bag, even with a case on. Sound quality seems alright, maybe a little quieter and slightly lower quality than my past laptop (which did have upgraded speakers so that could be a reason), but likely fine for the average user. Overall happy with my purchase

Flickering issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Lenovo Yoga 730-13 to replace a 3 year old laptop that was now struggling to run simple tasks such as web browsing and editing word/excel documents. The Yoga is a beautiful laptop that has sufficient power to easily complete tasks that I need to do. Unfortunately, the screen started flickering 3 days after I bought it. It took me the following 2 days to finally return it after contemplating whether I should exchange it or return it. For an $830 computer I wasn't expecting this kind of issue and I didn't want to have the same issue later on if were to get it exchanged, so I returned it. I did some extra research this time and bought the Lenovo ideapad 720s. Same Internals other than having a larger screen (non-touch), larger battery, upgradable single-dim RAM, and a dedicated low-end graphics card (MX150). I've been very happy with this laptop since then. Lenovo has replied to many of the reviews here that the flickering issue is due to software. I believe that it is most likely a hardware problem and many folks on the Lenovo forums agree.

Exactly what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer does everything I need it to do. Stream movies and shows, play some games (I’m not a gamer), search web, pay bills, etc. It’s very lightweight, charges quickly and battery life is great. Glad I chose this over the high end laptop.

Works pretty well
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the most part this laptop has delivered what it promised with very few glitches. The one concern is that, rarely, the touch screen seems to go crazy thinking it's getting touched repeatedly along a vertical line about a third from the left side of the screen. A restart fixes this, but it's pretty annoying when it ends up selecting a bunch of stuff that you didn't want, especially while typing.

Nice quick laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't had it long but fits the bill for my use. Needed a fast computer that was lightweight and balanced. So far so good. Set up took a bit long as I had to download all updates. Took over an hour but when it was ready it works like a charm.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the lenovo Yoga 730-13. The length of time the initial activation of Windows 10 takes will depend on the number and size of the updates Microsoft has released since the factory install of the operating system.

Great laptop and an affordable price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Laptop that does all I need it to do. It's fast and snappy, offers good battery life (not great) the keyboard to me is just fine for my needs (productivity and emails) and the screen is sharp and detailed enough for media consumption. I paid $585 for an open box certified Lenovo Yoga 730 and it's offering the best bang for the buck over my $1200 Spectre x360. Yes the HP has an i7 and 512GB and a 4K screen. But for my needs, I did not need all of that power and performance. If you need a laptop to edit huge photo files and possibly play games then get one of those i7's. However, if you are a student, a working professional or need a productivity computer then this is the one for you. Save yourself some hard earned cash and take a look at this laptop! I don't think that you will regret it.

So far...fab
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is still a new purchase for me. I'm an old school typist, so the smaller keyboard is difficult...but doable. The biggest thing that I have noticed is the speed! Love it!! Plus, the small size is perfect for taking it with me.

This is the one!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite machine to travel with. It is light, does everything I've wanted. The solid state makes it fast to open and easy to use. I've used it as a tablet and love how I can switch from one to another.

Glad I chose this computer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to emergency purchase a new laptop for school when my old one quit working the week of finals! I have a hard time spending money on myself, and didn't know if paying extra for the touch screen option was worth it! Well, I AM GLAD I DID! I love the touch screen option for school, as well as just streaming netflix. I think my favorite thing about this computer is that it's lightweight, and I can carry it in an oversized purse, instead of having to carry a backpack and my purse! There is so many features on this laptop, that I haven't figured them all out yet, but I am so extremely happy that I decided to purchase this computer. Even my little sister fell in love with it- and went and purchased the same one!

Great 2-in-1 laptop for everyday use!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop to use during college and I am already in love with it. You can turn the laptop into a tablet by flipping the screen back or keep it as a standard laptop. The touch screen is a really nice feature because I can just tap on something or enlarge my screen without having to use the keypad all the time. Also, I love how this laptop supports Windows Ink because now, I can use a stylus to take notes on OneNote when classes begin. In terms of the way the computer functions, it is very fast and responsive. Overall, I would highly recommend this laptop to students and anyone that needs a laptop for everyday use. You get a lot of bang for your buck because you get so many nice features for a laptop that isn't too expensive.

Great laptop, very light and versatile!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop during Bestbuy's labor day sale. The salesman at the checkout counter warned me about the wifi signal dropping. Thank goodness I trusted my gut and purchased this laptop despite his warning. I trusted that Lenovo had come up with a fix for the issues. After I got the laptop home I updated Windows and the necessary drivers through Lenovo's computer support app. After updating, I did not experience any other issues. I love how the laptop folds in half into tent in tablet mode. These features make the laptop a more versatile device. I also love the aluminum case and the light-weight design which make it ultra portable. Overall I think this laptop offered the most features and power for the price!

Good value for money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a very lightweight and bang for buck especially considering the discounted prices at best buy, i was little confused between AMD processors vs Intel but best buy sales guys cleared confusion and helped me identify why Intel processors are so efficient due to software drives and why AMD while more powerful on paper due to physical cores but lackluster due to lack of software drivers.

Solid performance quality build
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop to use for school. The I5 with the sold state hard drive gives this machine snappy performance. The aluminum case is well built and solid with hardly any flex. The only flaws I have found are the speakers although sound good are quiet, and the palm rejection when writing notes could use some refinement. Over all I believe this is a great 2 In 1 for the money.

I love my computer, but my screen flickers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing design, but my screen flickers in black and colorful lines. Started right after I got it brand new. I was not sure if it was because of apps I had on it or something, so I completely reset it. The results were the same. Still flickers sometimes, so I am not sure why, but I never dropped it or damaged it in any way. The flicker does not affect anything, but does get annoying.
