Classy and versatile! Lenovo crams energy-efficient components into their new 13-inch convertible while at the same time managing not to skimp on battery capacity. Find out what else the Yoga 720 has to offer in our extensive review.

Finally, the users getting the laptop for business would be happy to know that the keyboard and the touchpad will get the work done on the go – they are really comfortable to use. In addition, the battery life is impressive so you won’t have to charge the device several times a day when you are moving around all the time and even if the I/O isn’t enough for you, the Thunderbolt 3 connector gives you plenty of headroom, which is rather unexpected given the price tag of the Yoga 720.

The 13.3-inch Lenovo Yoga 720 is a slim, lightweight 2-in-1 with a premium look and feel, but without the big price tag.

Both in our performance benchmarks and in look, feel, fit, and finish, the 720 clings to the heels of the Spectre x360. That's not criticism considering that it costs hundreds less and that the HP is one of Computer Shopper's most highly praised hybrids, acclaimed as every bit the equal of elite ultrabooks with multi-mode flexibility as a bonus. Except for its un-Lenovo-like stumble with the arrow keys, we have trouble finding fault with the system.

Competing 2-in-1s that offer this kind of quality, like the Spectre X360 from HP or Dell's XPS 13 2-in-1, are significantly more than I've seen this Lenovo selling for. Both of those premium 2-in-1 laptops around $1,200, while the Lenovo Yoga 720 can be had for as little as $829 similarly equipped. Those more expensive options aren't bad buys by any stretch, but Lenovo gets you easily 80% of the way there with this reasonably-priced Yoga.

The Lenovo Yoga 720 is a sleek laptop with a premium feel and an attractive design, and that’s just the start of things to like about it. Features like a fingerprint sensor, touchscreen, and a 360-degree hinge help set the latest Yoga model apart. Whether this laptop will ultimately suit your own needs is for you to determine, but anyone in need of an ultrabook would be well advised to give this model a chance.

All in all, Lenovo's Yoga 720 is a well-rounded, serviceable addition to the Yoga line, without any of the disharmony or overly-adventurous features of some less favorable convertibles. It has only a few minor drawbacks, like fan noise and glare.

The Lenovo Yoga 720 is a slick, speedy convertible with a comfy keyboard and colorful display, but we wish this machine lasted a bit longer on a charge.

In the past few years 13-inch devices have become more and more popular, gone are the days of debating performance over size, With Lenovo recently debuting the Lenovo Yoga 720-13IKB. To begin with, the Yoga 720 features Intel’s latest Kaby Lake Core i5-7200U, Notebooks of this class usually feature a U series processor which denotes low power without compromising performance, it also comes with 8 GB of memory. As per the Yoga lineup this notebook features two 360-degree hinge design which allows the notebook to convert between a tablet and notebook mode. The chassis construction is mostly made up of aluminium which gives it a very premium classy feel and look. Because of its almost all metal construction it is quite rigid and sturdy with no flex at all which is equally impressive, it most certainly can take a beating although it isn’t advised. Weighing in at only 1.3 kg it is quite light compared to some of its competitors. Although this means due to its lightweightedness opening with one hand is ill-advised. One nice feature of the Yoga 720 is it supports 2 USB type-C Thunderbolt 3 ports with one being able to charge the device which adds to versatility of the Thunderbolt standard. Although the Yoga lineup isn’t strictly marketed as a business notebook it does feature a fingerprint reader and a TPM 2.0 chip which is a plus.
Along with the notebook itself Lenovo also includes an active stylus pen for users who just want to take notes with their notebooks. Other standard user input include the chiclet keyboard which is comfortably large and provides decent feedback, albeit a slightly mushier feeling. Although for heavy typists out there the keyboard might flex under pressure, but still isn’t a problem. The keyboard is also backlit with 2 levels of brightness. For a 13-inch notebook the Yoga 720 has a reasonably large touchpad which is centered below the spacebar away from the usual position. However this shouldn’t be an issue while typing. The touchscreen display is a FHD IPS panel which is very responsive, with inputs from both fingers and active stylus being fast and accurate. However, despite being an IPS panel sRGB ratings were at 84% and AdobeRGB ratings were at 55%, which means professional editing is not suited for this display. That said, Lenovo does offer a 4K panel option, should the user wish to choose. Jumping to the audio department of this device are 2 speakers made by JBL. Depending on the mode sounds are noticeably muted and muffled, but for a convertible overall sound quality is average due to a lack of volume, nonetheless highs and mids are pronounced with a hint of bass. Although the user can try to tune the audio with the included Dolby Atmos software. In terms of battery-life the Yoga 720 scores quite well and even tops the manufacturer’s rating at 8 hours 25 minutes. Ultimately despite the Yoga 720 somewhat trying to emulate Apple’s less is more approach it still does deliver in terms of cost to performance.
