HeDon’t Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the first unit in January, and it was dead out of the box. Returned it for another unit. It worked great until June. Used it one night, plugged it in to charge. When I I tried to use it the next day the laptop was dead. The charge light wouldn’t light up. Returned it to Best Buy since it’s under warranty. They attempted to open the unit and back it up. The solid state drive is proprietary and only Lenovo has adaptors to connect to the drive. Best Buy has shipped it back to Lenovo for repair. No way would I risk another Lenovo product.

Will never buy anything from Lenovo again
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought in September of 2018. After using it for 2 to 3 weeks the screen has started to flicker so badly that you see nothing on the screen. Best Buy did replace our product and Lenovo has not fixed the problem as of January 2019 despite the manufacturer warranty.

Worst laptop model ever bought
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worst laptop I ever had. Every time windows gets updated the drivers are missing, I always have issues with touchpad, right and left click are not working, display bright problems, keyboard not working, and now, ni wifi adapter at all. Since the rj45 port, I could only connect using wifi, now I can't. Please do not buy it.

It's falling apart
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the pc for less than two years. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. It never leaves my bedroom, so no wear and tear. The power button no longer works. The power cord needs to held at a certain angle for it to charge and the hard drive makes a clicking noise. It's been very dissapointing.

freezes up
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just bought this for my son and it unusable because it keeps freezing up. Have tried to reset back to factory settings, restart, etc. and it just freezes up after start up. Returning it to Best Buy. Disappointing since it has such good reviews.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your son's Yoga 730-15. From the description of the issues you provide, it sounds as though there may be incompatible software installed. 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
Wireless network adapter driver issue!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should have just bought a Macbook Pro. The network adapter resets constantly. I've updated the driver to the latest software available and still same problem. Unfortunately, I'm over the two weeks return period so I'm stuck with this piece of cr*p.
