    Pros: Backlit keyboard Display (screen and resolution) Lightweight Portable 2 USB C ports (both capable of data transfer and charging peripherals, but one is dedicated to charging the unit itself) Cons: Soldered RAM (cant upgrade RAM) The fingerprint sensor is hit or miss as it doesn't seem to capture most of the time. No SD card reader No NIC port Overall: This is a quality Lenovo product, it's built well and most of the missing features (additional USB A/C ports, NIC/ SD reader) can be added with a USB C Dock. I picked up a Lenovo branded one for about $17 on Amazon.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 730-13. 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. You can connect the Yoga 730-13 to a network system via ethernet cable. Just use a USB to ethernet adapter. The Yoga 730-13 is a truly multi-mode device, elegantly designed to be equally stylish as you transition from tablet mode to laptop mode and back. Available in sophisticated Iron Grey. Weighing in at 2.47 lbs and polished in premium aluminum, the Yoga 730 will complement your style no matter where the day takes you. The Yoga 730 is packed with speed and power to amplify your productivity. The latest 8th generation Intel Core i5 processor offers up to a 40 percent performance boost with unprecedented touchscreen and pen responsiveness (active pen sold separately), faster bootups, and seamless multitasking. Log in to your Yoga 730 and make secure payments through PayPal with just one touch of your finger via Windows Hello. Wrapped in three layers of on-device security, you’ll never have to worry about passwords. Rest easy. With the razor-thin 5.9mm bezeled screen, the Yoga 730 displays movies, video, and Skype calls in clear high-definition. With 300 nits brightness, you’ll see every detail. Experience truly immersive sound with Dolby Atmos, which creates a three-dimensional audio space. Sound comes alive with fullness and depth when you listen through headphones. Lenovo

    This laptop, for me, ticks all the boxes for a college student i.e. its compact and easy to carry, the performance is solid without any lags and runs windows which poses no restrictions towards running softwares! One drawback is that writing using the Lenovo Active Pen (sold separately) is not as smooth as that on an iPad.

    I like it. It is really zippy compared to my old laptop. The only thing that was my concern was that it only had 256 GB. I went back to talk them about it and I was going to return for one with more GB storage and the salesman recommended to buy a External Hard Drive with 1TB of storage. I did do that and removed some files to the External Hard Drive for more storage space on the Laptop Drive. I main thing I like the best is that it is really zippy in speed. Best Buy and Geek Squad Sales Reps is very knowledgeable when it comes to tech products. They are also very helpful.

    I was traveling and my laptop screen cracked -- and had to have a computer for a project I was working on. Dilemma -- needed a laptop that was convenient for travel but also had enough horsepower to run Adobe Creative Suites (keeping at least 3 programs open) and a slew of other programs without getting bogged down (needed good processing speed). This has solved my problem. In the past I always compromised on cost vs capability for a laptop -- not this time. Great price and superior product. Didn't need touch screen or 2-in-1 capability but find that quite convenient as well. I would recommend.

Styling is attractive and sleek with a good hands-on feel to keyboard. Very light and portable for a computer meant to be able to go where you do.

Although the quality of it's construction doesn't appear to have durability high on it's list, this laptop is lightweight and pretty fast----an overall good value.

    I bought this computer as a replacement to the larger 15 inch version of this computer. I wanted something lighter and easier to carry around, and this computer is one the most portable out there on the market. It's fast, and the 2 thunderbolt 3 ports are awesome. Track pad is nice and smooth and uses will does precision drivers for a very nice experience. The keyboard is shallow, but has a click feel, which I like and my overall experience typing is comfortable. Battery life isn't the best, but it gets me through an entire school day. Overall, a great computer for any student at an efficient price.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 730-13. This system ships with a 4CELL 48WH, Lithium Polymer battery, with a battery life of up to 10.5 hours, depending on the work that the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less 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. Additionally, 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. lenovo

    Computer performs fairly well. Keyboard is the pits. So bad that i bought an external one to use. Major annoyance is the fingerprint scanner. You set your fingerprint and it works great for a day or two. Then completely fails until you re register it. Then works fine for another day or two. Then completely fails again. Rinse, repeat. Didn't start happening until, you guessed it, warranty was up. Can't talk to them about it unless, you guessed it, pay for additional support. I wonder how difficult it would be for a company through the wonders of updates to cause this to happen and then reap the rewards by getting you to pay extra to look into it....?

    I went to Best Buy looking for a much cheaper, larger laptop and am so glad I asked questions and had the salesperson compare some different models and check the open box case!! I love the 13' size, keyboard/keys have nice feel, color and screen clarity are awesome! I use many spreadsheets so purchased a mouse for ease and it works great! I've used tablet mode and like however have not purchased extra stylus. I still believe, although a great deal the price was high - as is any computer these days! All in All I love this computer and am glad I listened to the salesperson.

      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. This configuration ships with the 8th Generation Quad-Core/Eight-Thread Intel Core i5-8250U processor, supported by 8GB of DDR4-2400MHz RAM and a 256GB solid state hard drive. If you are experiencing lag on your Yoga 730-13, 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. Lenovo

    The reason I am giving this a 4 out of 5 is that the first day that I bought this computer when I was able to open it because I had it shipped to my house. I had to pay an additional $70 on top of the $873 I had already paid which included a warranty. The reason I had to pay the $70 is that Best Buy does not tell you that you need software protection and a warranty. I literally had just opened my pc and started setting it up and I had to restart it for certain things to update. I had just used the sound on this computer because I was testing out the Spotify app. BUT when I turned it back on, my audio would no longer work and somehow my laptop had DELETED all traces of my audio drivers and of course that was not included in my $150 warranty that I bought with the laptop. I was thoroughly angry but I really needed this for school and work and had already paid the $70 so that my audio would work. Overall I love the laptop and everything that you can do on it and hope that I don't have another problem because this time I will be disputing it with Best Buy.

    It's been perfect. Small, light, and effective is what I needed for my business. I work from home, but I'm always on the move to meet clients, prospects, partners, and others. I wanted something that not only looked modern (I had an OLD Dell), but did the heavy lifting I was used to. The processing speed and storage space were critical with all the research & content heavy projects I do. Not only for our (my wife & I) businesses, but for all our client work as well.

    Used for 2 years in school, and it's held up quite nicely. Display can be very bright and was very sturdy in opening and switching to tent mode. Loved the keyboard and wide trackpad. Laptop has a nice premium feel while remaining light and easy to hold. I used the laptop for Microsoft Office, programming (Visual Studio, Matlab, Atmel Studio, Arduino Studio, etc.), and I think some Solidworks. Great laptop overall for the price, but I used to have an i7 previously and would definitely recommend that over the i5. While the laptop was fast, it was noticeably slower than an older i7. I also paired the Yoga 730 with the Lenovo graphics dock for gaming. The two took a while to get working together at first (not officially supported), and I did have to lower the max processor output because the computer would overheat - I think I even BSOD'ed once. If using an external gpu, I recommend lowering maximum processor state to 65-80% so you don't overheat. I think I tried undervolting, but this was a much easier fix. If no external gpu, Intel's integrated graphics will bottleneck the cpu anyways so you won't have to worry about thermals. The only gripe I have is the touch screen. I thought I could use a generic stylus, but the screen was not very precise in registering writing, lagged a little behind, and sometimes would glitch, where the ink line would spike like a heartbeat ECG. Dragging items and clicking was also a pain, so I stopped using styluses with it and later realized I didn't really need a touch screen for a laptop unless I was in tent mode for watching videos. Also, the laptop chassis was a little too sharp on its edges. I never got cut, but I could feel the edge dig into my skin at times and wish it was more rounded. Overall, I would recommend the laptop. Great value for any student (especially with the discount) needing a driver for school work, browsing, light gaming (need an external gpu), and programming.

    I would recommend this to a friend
