Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 730-13

80% Lenovo Yoga 730 review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga 730 is a good mix of durability, portability, performance and affordability. Here’s a well-made, compact device that allows you to perform your typical daily workload without a hitch. The battery life could be better, as could the speakers, but it nevertheless is a decent deal.

90% Lenovo Yoga 730 13 review - The mid-range looks pretty good
Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
There's also a 15-inch model if you need more power. That has the same processor options (a downgrade from last year's Yoga 720, which included 45W H-series processors), but with a 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU, an upgrade from its predecessor's 2GB GTX 1050. If you're looking for something with a larger display along with some GPU power for video editing or playing some games, take a look at the 15-inch model.

The Lenovo Yoga 730 convertible laptop is a small but worthy iteration on its already-excellent predecessor, with better computing performance and a subtle redesign.

The 13.3-inch Lenovo Yoga 730 doesn't change much from last year, but what Lenovo added definitely improves the package to keep it one of the best thin-and-light two-in-ones you can buy.

The Yoga 730 has strong performance, but its screen is odd, its keyboard is shallow, and it doesn't last as long as we'd like.

Lenovo Yoga 730 review: Hands-on
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
This is a solid incremental update to the Yoga line that takes what was already pretty great - the design, build quality, and top tier spec options - and adds the latest Intel chips and Alexa support. We’ll be looking forward to testing it out more thoroughly for a full review soon.

Lenovo Yoga 730 first look
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
The Yoga 730 isn’t a huge update on the older 720, but the changes Lenovo has made appear to be positive ones. The minor design optimisations and move to Intel’s 8th-gen family of CPUs will help improve performance and usability in a number of ways.

Hands on: Lenovo Yoga 730 review

Lenovo's latest 2-in-1 doesn't seem to offer any major upgrades over the last generation, but the integration of Alexa and new fast-charging features may sway you to upgrade.

Lenovo Yoga 730 initial review: Trim bezel bolsters this sterling laptop
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
With a tweaked form factor and slimmer screen bezel than its predecessor, the Lenovo Yoga 730 looks set to be one of the hottest 13-inch form-factor laptops to hit the shelves in 2018.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i5-8250U: Kaby-Lake-Refresh based low power quad-core processor. The four cores are clocked between 1.6 and 3.4 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading. The integrated GPU is clocked between 300 and 1,100 MHz. The SoC is manufactured in a 14nm+ FinFET process. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.


76.67%: 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.
