70% Lenovo YOGA 720 15″ Review: a sleek but heavy Windows laptop
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
What the YOGA 720 does offer, though, is great and didn’t disappoint during my time with the laptop. The design is great, the hardware options are great, and the display is top notch. If you can look past the missing ports and the fingerprint-prone exterior, there’s nothing to dislike about this model.

Lenovo Yoga 720 review: Discrete GTX 1050 graphics is worth the weight
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
If there’s anything threatening mainstream-plus laptops like Lenovo’s Yoga 720, it’s the new generation of ultrabooks with Nvidia’s discrete GPUs and Max-Q technology. Max-Q laptops are supposed to give you the sweetest spot: gaming-ready graphics in thin, light PCs. However, Max-Q laptops are still a little rare and expensive. The Yoga 720 offers a decent serving of gaming power in a handsome package that doesn’t weigh or cost too much. If I can hate the keyboard and trackpad and still say it’s a good deal, that’s saying something.

If you’re someone who needs a new notebook that performs well, has touch and you like to game on the side, the Lenovo Yoga 720 15-inch is a great way to spend your money. Just expect to charge it during lunch and between gaming sessions.

The 15-inch Lenovo Yoga 720 is an excellent value for what’s on offer. Albeit with only a 1080p screen, the model we reviewed is well-designed and more powerful than its closest rivals without skimping on the battery life.

90% Lenovo Yoga 720 Review Editor's Choice
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga 720 is among the most powerful, versatile 2-in-1s we've tested to date. Its mix of a Core i7-7700HQ CPU and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU make it just as useful for video editing and playing games (at low settings) as it is for consuming movies and web browsing. It's a tad heftier than its competitors, but I'm willing to give that up for the power.

Fifteen-inch 2-in-1's are niche systems, desktop replacements destined to see tablet or presentation duty only from time to time. With the 720, Lenovo pushes two of our happy buttons—affordability and gaming ability—but misses a couple of others with a subpar keyboard layout and a design short on ports. It's worth a look, but falls short of the broad appeal required for an Editors' Choice.

Model: The Lenovo Yoga 720-15IKB-80X70043GE is a laptop with the flexibility of a 2-in-1, strong discrete graphics, and an affordable price. It packs a fast Intel Core i7 processor and a potent Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. To go with its strong performance, the Yoga 720 includes all-day battery life, a gorgeous display, and powerful audio. Though the Yoga 720 15-inch can replace a tablet, users should not expect it to disappear like one in their bag. The device weighs 2 kg (4.41 pounds) and it is almost an eighth-of-an-inch (0.33 cm) thick. Lenovo opted for a plain-but-professional design. The aluminum lid is a dark shade of gunmetal gray with a Yoga logo in the top left-hand corner, but it is otherwise unadorned. The device comes in two variants, gray and silver, and its edges glisten in the sunlight the same way a piece of jewelry does. The aluminum that protects the lid and bottom of the notebook also covers the entire keyboard deck. There are no speakers or clever designs on the deck, just a spacious glass trackpad and a Windows Hello fingerprint reader. With a 2.8-GHz Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU with 2 GB of VRAM, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD, the Yoga 720 is ready for both work and play. This notebook can handle many tabs in Chrome and Microsoft Edge without slowing down. If a user is looking to use a laptop for creative work or light gaming, the Yoga 720 will hold its own, thanks to its GTX 1050 graphics.

The laptop features a 15.6-Inch 1920 x 1080p FHD Display with Touch. The IPS display itself offers wide viewing angles and high contrast as long as user stick to the top couple of brightness settings, with bold colors and fine details. The Yoga's screen covers an excellent 114 percent of the sRGB color gamut, surpassing the mainstream notebook average (95 percent). Its keyboard and trackpad are a pleasure to use. Because of the laptop’s size, there’s plenty of space for the finger to move as user scroll up and down webpages and navigate Windows 10. A user can see its backlit keys in the dark, and keyboard shortcuts let user dim the screen, adjust volume and turn off the trackpad without navigating trough the settings menus in Windows 10. The Lenovo Yoga 720 15-inch is light on connectivity options. A Thunderbolt 3 port on the right side of the notebook allows a user to quickly connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse and external storage to it. Each side of the notebook has one full-size USB 3.0 port. A headset jack lets the user connect a pair of headphones. The webcam provides averagely bright and sharp images and videos, meaning it's fine for adequately lit environments and merely OK as far as picking up fine details. The Lenovo Yoga 720-15IKB-80X7AC0043GE is probably one of the very few convertibles that can offer proper performance for light gaming and performing serious tasks.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
