Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 700-11ISK
Weak cooling. The small Lenovo Yoga 700 is a portable and very versatile companion thanks to its 11.6-inch screen and different operating modes. However, there are problems in terms of input devices and the passive cooling solution, because the processor cannot utilize its full potential.

One word of caution, though, because the price only includes a 128GB SSD. In my experience, that isn’t enough for a laptop that’s going to have any serious use. It limits how many “big” programs (think Adobe and Microsoft in particular) you can install, and leaves little space for media-hungry files such as videos and photo dumps. In fact, once you take into account Lenovo’s hidden recovery partition, there’s only 98GB of usable space to start with anyway.

As a mid-range convertible, the Yoga 700 is still a bit of a disappointment. It's delightfully portable, but its display doesn't do justice to its Full HD resolution and the keyboard also leaves a lot to be desired. The 700 is far from bad, but the search for a compelling mid-range, ultra-portable convertible continues. Right now, the 11.6in Acer Aspire Switch 11V has the edge over this in many areas, but is itself let down by limited battery life. If you're not fussy about your keyboard, or colour accuracy on your display, then this is probably the strongest contender in a weak field. A strong alternative for those wanting a tablet-laptop hybrid is the Microsoft Surface 3 with a Surface Type Cover.

That doesn’t mean stay away, but it does mean buyer beware: you’re getting a well-designed, light laptop that doubles up as a tablet when you fancy reading or watching rather than doing, but enthusiasts will rub up against frustrations once they start pushing it beyond the basics.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
70.14%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
