I bought this laptop with the intent of having a light, mobile computer with a decent battery life to take with me for work travel and conference presentations. I am an engineer, so I typically need a fairly powerful computer. But since i have two workstation at work, I didn't need thepower that I used to when i was in college. Today, I just need something that can handle some large office files, email, and some basic music processing and recording (the i5 8GB RAM model runs Ableton Live 9 Lite without any major issues). TL/DR: Pros: Nice display, responsive touch screen, easy to use keyboard with back-light, powerful enough to handle low-impact music recording, audio driver is pretty solid. Decent battery life (7-9 hrs). Multi-touch gestures. Both USB 3.0 and Type-C/Thunderbolt 3 built-in is AWESOME. Very light, very portable.

Nice and sleek for its price, November 5, 2017 This review is from: Lenovo Yoga 720 - 13.3" FHD Touch - Core i5-7200U - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Silver (Personal Computers) I will start off by saying I was looking for a All-in-One laptop and with what's available right now, the Yoga 720 likely comes up top for a balance between specs and price. Performance wise, as with any laptop it depends on your usage. For my use (websurfing, youtube, edit/read documents, no games, basic photo edits) the specs it came with works awesome (i5 7gen, 8GB SSD). Boots quickly and generally responsive, speakers also good and loud enough. Touchscreen and trackpad work as they should, though I realized for Google Sheets you can't scroll up/down without using the sidebar. Sometimes the screen flickers so inconspicuously I thought my eyes were playing tricks, but apparently it can be fixed with a driver update. The unit I got also had a very slight defect on the exterior at a corner, but I was lazy to return it (YMMV).
Overall a well performing and sleek laptop, the tablet configuration is a nice feature but how often you use it is another thing.

Great laptop, works with Akitio Node, November 4, 2017 This review is from: Lenovo Yoga 720 - 13.3" FHD Touch - Core i5-7200U - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Silver (Personal Computers) Amazing laptop. I bought it specifically for connecting an exernal gpu (akitio node) and having a portable gaming rig. The laptop is very good. No complains. Very responsive, great battery life and thunderbolt 3, it's everything I needed. TheYoga 72- is the best value in its marketshare. It has more features than more expensive options, I due strongly recommend it. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
