Returned
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son who was going to college. He/We could never get the pen to sync with the computer. He also was not very comfortable with that specific computer. We just returned and purchased a different model. The computer was very nice and clean looking and ran smoothly what little time we had it. There was a sharp edge on the backside that did concern us which would have been enough to return even if we were keeping that brand. Not a terrible issue; I think it was just a bad part in assembly.

Give and Take, good features, heavy and dim screen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted better processing speeds, SSD, and a backlit keyboard. Got them all with this 730. The biggest drawbacks I feel are the weight and the dim screen. I was sitting in a Starbucks with the shaded windows behind me. It was a bright and sunny day outside and I had to switch seats to be able to see my screen. However, good batteries are dense and heavy and a brighter screen also means shorter battery life. I also like the new all-metal case, but metal is heavier too. It's "give and take". Overall, I am happy with it.

Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-15 4K model ships with a 3CELL 51.5WH, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 8 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting less battery life, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain your battery quicker. 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 there is no incompatible software installed, to maximize battery life, first adjust your battery saver settings. Here is a link to instruction for doing this in Windows 10:  https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-use-configure-battery-saver-windows-10. Next, to maximize 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. Also, 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. Finally, if the battery life does not improve, a battery reset may help. Here is a link to instructions for reconditioning a non-removable battery, using the Battery Management Software installed on the computer. If you need further assistance, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Here is the link: https://windowsreport.com/laptop-battery-not-charging-windows-10/

Average Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There have been disappointments with this new computer. There is a pattern of dropping WiFi connections. Battery time is just ok. Keyboard and touchpad are both not easy to use. Extra care must be used to avoid having the left hand on the correct keys.

Great and powerful laptop

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga &30-15 4K model. With regard to the issue you are having with WiFi connectivity, if you were able to activate Windows completely you were connected to the internet at least during the initial automated setup of Windows 10. First, try a reboot of your computer, then see if you can complete a connection to your WiFi router. If this doesn't work, resetting the computer back to original factory settings, then resetting up Windows 10 may correct the issue. This system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the headphone jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. For 2018, Lenovo retained its place for a second year as the best laptop vendor:

No Complaints
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, so good. Working from home has allowed me to really get a good feel for it. There are inly a few kinks but that’s normal for a PC (i.e. occasional freeze). It’s pretty fast and the memory capacity it great. Hopefully it will continue to function as I need. Also, the price was beyond amazing.

Decent but defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this one up as an open box item. The price was fair and it was an easy purchase in the local store. The sales rep was knowledgeable. Problem was it did not work. I thought BB did check out open box items. The rep said they do that. It kept freezing up. I contacted Lenovo support and they worked on it, but it did not fix the problem. I than took it to BB / Geek Squad and they just said to return it to there repair center. so we did that. A week later, it came back from BB repair center and they did nothing to repair it. It still had the same issues so I do not believe they did anything to it, or at the least, check it over. Why I have no idea, but it still would stall every 5 minutes. Same problem as it had before BB took over. I returned it to the local BB and they were no help. Completely confused and there only solution was to return it, which I did not want to do, but I had no other choice. They were also completely insensitive to my situation and could not come up with a solution. Not even a " lets try it again" reply. Not even a " sorry. " Just return it. So in the end it was a complete waste of my time and their's. I did come back and try a Dell that was of similar specs and it was also defective. Spent a lot of time and energy trying to get it to work, but finally gave up. I than decided to purchase a PC from another store and that one works fine. Maybe it was the Holiday's that had everyone burnt, but that was my experience. I do think this would have been a fine PC in the end, but shopping was just a source of frustration and not a typical BB shopping time. Lenovo did contact me to see if it was working OK, but I had just returned it to BB and they did offer to have them repair it, but it was to late in the game. I also contacted BB in an email asking them to contact me about this experience and have not heard back. They emailed me asking about how everything went on my end and I responded like I am doing here. This review is way more about my shopping with BB than the quality of the PC, as the PC did not work so I can't render a comment about it. This is NOT a typical BB shopping experience as I do buy quite a bit from them and they are usually great to deal with. This time, it was not fun and in the end, I bought from another store.

LOVE THIS
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing computer and I love that it can be flipped and used as a “tablet” I have not gotten the pen that goes with it because it’s a tad pricey but over all I’m very happy with this purchase. I will say it runs a bit slower after uploading pictures from my DSLR camera to it but let’s be honest I had a lot! The mouse Pad is also a bit finicky so I purchased a wireless mouse for it.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a replacement since I started nursing school. It’s fast and I love that I can convert it between a tablet and a computer. The finger print ID is very touch and go and doesn’t quite work most of the time. That’s the one irritating thing. Graphics are great.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 730-15 4K model. 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.
