Lenovo - Yoga 710 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce 940MX - 256GB SSD - Pearl black

I purchased this laptop around 2 months ago and I am very impressed with the level of performance I've gotten out of it. The 256GB SSD is very snappy opens all of my programs and applications without any hiccups. Wake up time from sleep is ~2-3 seconds and Start up time from shutdown is ~4-5 seconds. The screen is absolutely gorgeous; it was one of the best on display in this price range and I love watching media on it, although text not optimized for the high resolution will look pixelated. Speakers sound adequate and are loud enough for what is available on a laptop but the Dolby Audio enhancement is a welcome addition that can help to really compensate for lesser quality audio playback. I like the aesthetic of the keyboard but the functionality was not particularly to my liking. The placement of the right Shift key had me more often than not hitting the Up key when I wanted to capitalize a letter. I also think the keyboard is a bit shallow and it took me a few weeks to get used to typing on it. One more slight downside is that the laptop only has 2 USB 3.0 ports and uses MICRO-HDMI instead of Mini-HDMI. Battery life is favorable to me. Using battery saver, I was able to get at least 9.5 hours using my laptop to do office work using Battery Saver and using it to watch videos and play music with max brightness and volume, I get around 4-5 hours. Webcam is slightly better than most others in the same price range, but is still of middling quality. I think the thing that I appreciate most around this laptop is the fingerprint scanner that GREATLY improves user accessibility and a tool I could see being an extra layer of security for those looking to use this laptop for business. One small thing that I do appreciate is that the laptop has a dedicated graphics card and while it may not be very powerful, it will allow me to play some games from my Steam library while I am on the go. TL;DR This laptop does have caveats in its keyboard layout and design and limited number of expansion ports, but the wonderful screen, snappy response time, dedicated graphics and premium features like the backlit keyboard and fingerprint scanner were my motivators for picking this computer and I'm very happy with my purchase. P.S. As a side note, there is a small amount of backlight bleed on completely black screens on this laptop. The photos I took somewhat exaggerate it, but it is present for those who wish to be made aware.

I love this Lenovo Yoga 710. it it so much snappier than my old laptop. The graphics are great and it holds up pretty well to complex 3D drawings and simulation. My college son abused a Yoga for years and it just kept on holding up to the abuse. I thought I'd give one a try and have not regretted it for a minute.

At first, I had purchased a heavy gaming laptop with 1GB more of GPU processing space and 8GB more of RAM, but it had a lot of issues unresolved by the manufacturer, so I picked up this Lenovo for half the price and it performed about the same for literally half the price. The screen is crisp and clear, the solid state drive is quick and snappy, there's enough RAM to do anything you would need, the mini GPU can handle most mid level games, and the i5 7th generation processor has the power of an older i7, which is great. I use this for everything from internet shopping to computer games. Honestly, and easily the best laptop I've purchased.

In all honesty I love the overall "Buying" experience and outcomes of 9 out of 10 items. These disparate electronics exceeded my expectations. But attempting to purchase a Laptop that remained functioning as it was intended to function for longer than 2 weeks, was a failure 4/4 times. In all honesty having to take back the first 3, with 5 days being the one that lasted the longest kinda burned me out on the "return" process. This last Lenova Yoga i5 with SS drive worked relatively well for 10 days. Then the Keyboard ceased working (had to hook up a USB keyboard and then a mouse a few days later to get it to work. But heck, I don't want to drag around a mouse and a keyboard to use my NEW Laptop. So I will muster my nicest persona tomorrow and take this latest non- functional back to BB and see what they are gonna do for me. I promise to keep you posted as to what they are gonna do for me.

Love laptop,NOT keyboard Shift key, wrong location.

After comparing several laptop models I opted for the Lenovo YOGA 710 with dedicated NVIDIA graphics card. So far, this laptop has exceed all expectations in terms of performance and style. Here is my Pros/Cons review: Pros -It has a 15 inch screen in a 14 inch laptop body (due to an almost frame-less screen) -Dedicated graphics card NVIDIA 940MX (entry level but overall better than integrated Intel HD cards) -Beautiful and executive design (I prefer a dark color than all silver design of most laptops) -Battery live is excellent (you can get from 5 to 7 hours depending on power settings) -Slim, light and versatile (tablet mode for reading, tent mode for movies) -The Intel i5 with 8Gb RAM is more than enough for any average user -250GB SSD makes the laptop as fast as it gets (on/off in less than 10 secs) Cons -Only thing I can say is the shift key on the right (when you get use to it is less noticeable but at the begging is quite annoying) Summary: Overall a great laptop, buy with confidence!

I was looking for a laptop to replace my aging MacBook Pro. The thing I was looking for the most was a screen as good as the mbp. This laptop has it. The ips screen is the way to go. There is glare but I like the look better than an anti gloss screen. I love how crisp and vibrant the screen is. I also wanted to be able to play some games like WOW and Overwatch. This rig plays both titles like a champ on medium graphics settings. I play on low settings for max performance. Having an SSD is also great. The rig boots up super fast, loads games and programs quick. I would never go back to a conventional HD. The JBL speakers on this rig sound nice and clear. My only gripe and it's a big one, is the location of the right shift key. It's smaller than normal and you need to reach farther out for it. Luckily there is a program to remap the keys. I have the right shift key mapped to the left arrow button. It makes the reach closer. Like on a normal keyboard. Without remapping the key I would not be able to type comfortably. Four stars due to the ridiculous right shift key design. Whoever designed that layout needs to be ousted. It's that bad. Otherwise great overall laptop.

Great performance, very light, and has more than enough battery life to get the job done. I am worried about the hinges that allow you to turn a laptop into a tablet. I hope these hinges will stand the test of time. In the end I am more than satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend this to anyone looking for light weight, extremely fast, long lasting, all in one. Great product for the price.
