Service is awful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the laptop for a couple weeks and all was fine, then the display brightness started fading in and out. When I couldn't find anything that may be causing it, I opened a support ticket with Lenovo. No one from Lenovo ever contacted me to diagnose the issue, all they did was send me a box to return it a few days later. I packed it up and shipped it back, they promised a 9 business day turnaround. It has now been 9 business days (17 days total) and I still haven't heard from anyone, and according to the online tracking of the repair ticket, nothing has happened to it yet. I had the laptop for 33 days before sending it out, pretty soon it will be out for repair longer than I've had it. I should have just returned it to the store and gotten something else.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the brightness of the screen on your Lenovo Yoga 730-15 4K Model. First, be sure automatic brightness is turned off. Here is a link to instructions for doing this:  https://www.howtogeek.com/241771/how-to-adjust-your-pcs-screen-brightness-manually-and-automatically/. Second, if auto brightness is off and the issue continues, be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer, then update all of the BIOS files and drivers up to that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software installed on the computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. Third, if the issue continues after updates, it is possible that restoring the device back to original factory settings 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.

This thing is a BEAST! LOVE IT!

Runs multiple apps simultaneously with no delay or slow down. It goes fast like a corvette or something and is sleek and light like one too! Best PC I’ve ever owned. Way better than the MacBook Pro it replaced.

Does everything I want, and more
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When looking for a computer, I needed something to replace a dying, underpowered laptop - specifically, something that would have the power to run Adobe Lightroom, be reasonably portable, and have at least some internal storage. This laptop meets those requirements beautifully. So far, it has performed well on everything I've needed it to do; the only "problem" I've encountered is that the fingerprint activation only works about half the time. I have yet to do much with the touch screen capability, as that was not something I was looking for, but I think it will be useful in photo editing and other tasks once I get used to the possibilities it presents.

Close, but Not Quite
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop to see if it could import my RAW photos quickly. I ran a test of 27 RAW photos and used a stopwatch to measure the time it took to import RAW 3 photos using a USB-C connection to my camera. It took 11 minutes to import the pictures and 29 secs/image to export to Jpeg. In comparison, to the Dell Inspiron 7000 (similar specs, but 13.3 display) which took 8 minutes for import and 15 secs/image for export. Both these laptops beat the Mac Air (with only 8GB and i5) by a large margin. Ultimately, I chose the Dell, with less weight and saved $500 as well!!
