Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo Yoga 730-15. Since you note that the screen flicker started a month of use, the issue may be software based.

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. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo Yoga 730-15. 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.
Keyboard stopped working after a year
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the blue the keys "8,i,k,," stopped working. After researching the problem, a whole lot of folks were having the same issue although with different keys at times. Not an easy or cheap fix if out of warranty. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/Yoga-730-15-some-keyboard-keys-not-working-properly/td-p/4413930 Do you research....

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the initial activation of Windows 10 on your Lenovo Yoga 730-15. Since the issue you describe occurred during the initial setup of Windows 10, restoring the device back to original factory settings, then letting Windows 10 update to the latest version, may correct the issues you are experiencing. 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:

Disappointment to say the least
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 6 weeks of purchase, still have problem login. Best Buy try to sell quick squat and Lenovo 24/7 tech support is bogus. I am totally unhappy with the Lenovo Yoga 730 laptop purchase. Just wasted $800 in the drain.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy the Lenovo Yoga 730. The screen began to flicker and have black bars across it when it was only 18 months old. When checking online I discovered that this is common occurrence.

Bad
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I'm 50/50 with this, it's a decent laptop but the build quality is pretty poor it bends pretty easily and there's not much support for the screen which caused my screen to actually lift up
