Nice laptop Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice Laptop, Satisfied with the performance. If it had more memory in HDD it would be more helpful to store some files (which increases in size and weight), right now using a 256GB flash drive for storing files. It's lightweight and simple to carry.

Great laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop to do some graphic design work and it hasn’t disappointed. It’s lightweight, multi functional due to the touch screen and tablet mode. The fingerprint scan keeps my work protected. The only con is the annoying Mcafee alerts trying to eat me to purchase things.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 730-15. Regarding the McAfee popups, there is a 30-day trial that is factory installed. The Popups you are receiving is an alert that the trial is over and your device is unprotected. You do not need to use McAfee, you can install any 3rd party virus protection you choose or turn on Windows Defender. You need to uninstall McAfee though if you do not want to use it as there can only be one anti-virus software on any computer. Here is a link to instructions for uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10: https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&articleId=TS101331&_afrLoop=470465745130598&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25¢erWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26_afrLoop%3D470465745130598%26articleId%3DTS101331%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dgv27savei_9

Little Engine that DOES!

I bought her as a replacement for my hot gaming laptop rig and I am not dissapointed. I use this for work-from-home and it stays cool all day long and never lags. I can't tell you how much I DON'T MISS my bulky cooling dock! Thank you Lenovo.

A Workhorse Desktop Replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lenovo builds laptops to last. Good specs, great materials and components. Heavy...screen too reflective, but it offers sharp, decent sound. Hard to find old fashioned production values but this one succeeds..at a price that reminds me of the 1990's.

Posted .The Lenovo Yoga 730-15 has a full size 15.6" screen (viewable screen size, measured diagonally), but the computer only measures 14.17 x 9.80 x 0.68 inches and weighs just 4.17 lbs. The Yoga 730-15 is an ultra portable, 2 in 1 computer. Use it as a traditional laptop or a tablet. This model ships with the powerful, 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. The touchscreen is an IPS LCD w/LED Backlight screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) and a brightness level of 300 nits. If you are looking for the latest tech and want a powerful but ultra portable computing device, the Yoga 730-15 is a great choice.

Mind Blowing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had a dell laptop for roughly 7 years and I guess you can say I was not prepared for what the new laptops offer users. This laptop folds completely backwards to use as a tablet, is touch screen, chargers AMAZINGLY fast, and is super reliable. I have no complaints about it at all.

Great Computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great computer. Would recommend it to others. Love the lighted keyboard. Thought the price was a little high at first, and even though we were 1 day after the sale on this model ended, the Best Buy associate said they couldn't give us the sale price (hence the reason for 4 stars instead of 5). Never mind--Lenovo put the unit on sale a few weeks later and Best Buy honored that price, giving us a $180 refund. My only problem is that it seems to lose the wireless Internet connection from time to time, causing me to reboot. But works great other than that.

Excellent so far. Great battery life!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old HP Envy bit the dust, and I already like a few things better with the Lenovo Yoga. The battery life is great, and it was easy to set up. Also, the design is a little more squared at the corners, so the whole machine feels a little stronger and sturdier. So far, so good!

Great laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this laptop because our old ones and many others previously just weren’t lasting long. Always had to be plugged in and were VERY slow. This new one has already exceeded expectations and was well worth the price.

This model ships with a 3CELL 51.5WH, Lithium Polymer battery, with a battery life of up to 9 hours, depending on the work that the device is performing.

Smooth, quick and comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a back up computer to my yoga 930 with an i7 chip. However this i5 configuration with less memory is smoother, faster, more stable, has a more comfortable keyboard and better sound quality. And 1/2 the price of the 930. I highly recommend it.

Very Good Large Laptop converts to tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is well-built and runs beautifully. I love the large screen and full keyboard but it does make it heavy and bulky for travel. I find it hard to balance it on my lap when sitting without a desk or table, but I don't need to do that much. I love the 2-in-1 feature but it does take a minute to switch to tablet mode when you fold it all the way over. My main complaint is that the fingerprint recognition is weak. It keeps forgetting my fingerprint, so I have to have several fingers ready to be recognized. Even then, I now have to just use my password instead of fingerprint about half the time. The keyboard is pretty easy to use but I do make some typos because of the spacing it has that is slightly different from a desktop computer with a separate keyboard. Overall, I am very satisfied.
