Convertible Powerhouse. The Lenovo Yoga line has long been the leader in the 2-in-1 notebook market. With the redesigned Yoga 720, the Chinese manufacturer looks to expand that dominance. Can the 15-inch model be flexible enough for consumers, or will it snap under pressure?

Lenovo has been the dominant force in the convertible notebook market since the introduction of its Yoga notebooks back in 2012. Each year brings new 2-in-1 notebooks with 360-degree hinges, allowing the devices to be used in 4 modes: Laptop, Tent, Stand, and Tablet. Last year"s Yoga 710 line was met with critical and commercial success, although there were some quibbles about the keyboard layout, screen flicker, and port selection.

With the Yoga 720 line, Lenovo has made some design tweaks and component upgrades to address these issues. Today we look at the 15-inch model to see what Lenovo has to offer in their largest and most powerful Yoga yet. As with most Lenovo notebooks, the Yoga 720 15 can be configured at the time of purchase, and there is no shortage of choice here. Our model is equipped with the Intel Core i7-7700HQ, the 2 GB variant of NVIDIA"s GeForce GTX 1050, and a Full HD (1920x1080) IPS touch screen. Our unit also has 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB NVMe SSD, both of which come standard on the line but can be upgraded to 16 GB and 1 TB, respectively. Our particular configuration retails from Lenovo for about $1,260, although Lenovo frequently has sales. (At the time of this review, Lenovo was offering this model for $1,049 on their site).

The Yoga 720 under review spans several categories. It obviously fits the bill as a convertible, but the inclusion of the i7-7700HQ and GTX 1050 also make the device suitable as a multimedia notebook. The moderate power of the GTX 1050 also grants the Yoga 720 some gaming chops, albeit at lower settings. As such, we will closely examine all of these factors and see how our unit stacks up against notebooks from each of these categories. For this review, we have chosen the HP Spectre x360 15 and Dell XPS 13 9365 2-in-1, both of which are excellent convertibles. We will also compare the Yoga against some multimedia notebooks, namely the Dell XPS 15 9560 (UHD) and HP Pavilion 15t-bc200. Finally, to get a good sense of its gaming capabilities, we will include the Lenovo Legion Y520 and Samsung Odyssey, both of which are entry-level gaming notebooks. Let"s get started.

In Lenovo"s own words, the Yoga 700 models are their "premium 2-in-1 laptops," and that description is apt here. The 15-inch Yoga 720 has a beautiful all-aluminum chassis that looks and feels great. Our unit is the "Iron Grey" model, which has a dark grey color with a matte finish. The notebook is also available in a brighter "Platinum Silver" option. The case looks subtle and clean, with a nice bright silver trim running around the edge of the chassis. The entire device is well-built with a tight, even gap connecting the keyboard deck to the bottom panel. The finish is highly resistant to fingerprints and able to retain its clean look after handling. The keyboard remains firm when pressed with minimal flex in the center of the deck. The chassis doesn"t creak under pressure, and there is no flex during typing. The screen can be twisted only a small bit with direct pressure, although pressing in the center of the lid will noticeably bend the display.

The only complaint we can find is a kink in the left hinge, which could be specific to our particular unit. While it doesn"t affect the overall feel of the device, it is noticeable. Speaking of the hinges, the two 360-degree hinges are able to hold the screen in any position with ease. The screen doesn"t wobble while typing, although it does rock a bit when touched. It quickly settles back into position, though. Overall, the case looks and feels great.

The Yoga 720-15IKB measures in at 364 mm wide by 242 mm deep by 19 mm thick, which is almost the same footprint as the XPS 15 and Spectre x360 15. While it"s obviously not as small as the XPS 13, the Yoga feels more akin to a notebook with a 14-inch display thanks to the narrow bezels around the screen. It"s quite a bit smaller than the other 15.6-inch notebooks like the Legion Y520 and Pavilion 15t. It"s also about half a kilogram lighter than those devices. Lenovo did a good job in making the 15-inch Yoga 720 highly portable without sacrificing screen real estate.

The lack of ports was one of the sticking points with the Yoga 710 line. Sadly, the Yoga 720 took one step forward and two steps back. Connectivity is anemic, and some staple ports are completely absent. Gone is the venerable SD Card reader, and a dedicated display out is sorely missed. Thankfully, users aren"t completely out of luck; the presence of a Thunderbolt 3-enabled USB Type-C port brings a lot of versatility. While Thunderbolt 3 can be used for display, high-speed storage, and a myriad of other connections, these all require adapters (there are none included with the device). There are two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one on either side, for other peripherals. The port layout is great, but the lack of connectivity options may be a difficult pill to swallow for some.

The Lenovo Yoga 720 is equipped with some very nice security features. In addition to software-based TPM in the system BIOS, the notebook comes with a fingerprint scanner on even the base configurations. The scanner is fast and accurate, registering our fingerprint immediately upon touch every single time. This makes for easy and quick logins using Windows Hello and is very nice to have.

Despite the highly restrictive maintenance options of most convertibles, the internals of the Lenovo Yoga 720 are easy to access. The RAM, SSD, and battery can also easily be changed out or upgraded. After removing 10 Torx T4 screws and prying off the bottom panel (which is relatively easy to remove), users will have access to the M.2 SSD and one RAM slot; the other 8 GB of RAM is either located on the other side of the motherboard or (more likely) soldered on. However, the available RAM slot (located underneath a metal shield) can accept another DIMM of DDR4 RAM for a quick upgrade. The fans are also readily accessible for easy cleaning, and the cooling system for both the CPU and GPU can be removed by unscrewing some Phillips Head screws should users want to put on their own thermal compound. Considering the slim profile and convertible form factor, maintenance is surprisingly comprehensive.

Lenovo offers a one year limited warranty. This can extended up to 3 years with either mail-in or on-site service for an additional $149 or $179, respectively. Please see our

The Lenovo name has become synonymous with excellent keyboards, and the Yoga 720 is no exception. While it doesn"t have the "wow" factor of ThinkPads, the chiclet keyboard offers firm feedback, ample travel, and is overall great to type on. The pressure point is perfect, and drop is well defined. Keys are well-sized and well-spaced. Our only complaint is the arrow key layout, which feels a bit cramped. However, Lenovo redesigned to arrow keys to allow for a full-sized right Shift key to address complaints concerning the half-sized Shift key of the Yoga 710. This change is very welcome.

The touchpad has a silver trim and a smooth finish that feels great. Tracking is silky and accurate with no hiccups or cursor lag, largely due to the use of Windows Precision drivers. The buttons are integrated into the bottom half of the touchpad. The hinge mechanism used for click input feels great with solid feedback and good travel. Left- and right-clicks register accurately on their respective sides of the pad. Overall, we have no cause for complaint.

The Yoga 720 has an excellent 10-point touchscreen that registers touch precisely and reliably. The system registered input exactly where we touched, and input lag was minimal. The touchscreen also offers support with Windows Ink, which is a plus for digital artists. Using a compatible pen (like the Lenovo Active Pen), Lenovo advertises that the system can register 4096 levels of pressure. Unfortunately, we did not have an Active Pen on hand to test this claim. The large screen size and weight make the device difficult to hold as a tablet; while touch is responsive, navigating the 15.6-inch display is not an easy task in the hands.

The 15.6-inch glossy IPS display from Chi Mei is colorful and adequate for most use cases. The 1920x1080 resolution is well suited to this screen size; images and text are sharp at 141 pixels per inch, and screen real estate is ample. Lenovo also offers an option with a 4K UHD panel (3840x2160) for an extra $240.

The screen gets reasonably bright at 285 cd/m2, which should be bright enough for most indoor environments. Brightness and colors are even across the panel, making for a uniform display. Response times are also good, hovering between 25 and 30 ms for Black/White and Grey 50%/Grey 80% response. Compared to its rivals, these times are at the front of the pack and good measurements overall. We detect PWM at brightness levels below 70%, but the frequency is incredibly high at over 25 kHz (25,000 Hz) and shouldn"t present a problem to most sensitive users.

Color space is also comparatively good. Covering 90% of the sRGB and 59% of the AdobeRGB color spaces, the panel on our device sits about average for higher-end consumer-grade IPS displays. While professional artists and color workers should look at other notebooks (like the Dell XPS 15), the color gamut of the Lenovo Yoga 720 should be more than adequate for the average user. Colors are crisp, vibrant, and uniform across the display.

Viewing angles are great, as is expected of an IPS display. Images and text remain vibrant and legible from extreme angles (over 45º), although there is a slight blue cast when viewing the screen from the side at angles of about 60° or more. This color shift is noticeable on white backgrounds, but is very subtle and doesn"t detract from the most images.

ℹDisplay response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.↔ Response Time Black to White

Due to the glossy finish and average brightness of the display, the Yoga 720 is not usable in daylight. Reflections obscure anything displayed on the screen, rendering it useless in bright light. While under shade or in brightly lit rooms, reflections still present a problem, but the screen is legible at high brightness settings.

The Lenovo is powered by the Intel Core i7-7700HQ, a quad-core CPU with a base clock of 2.8 GHz and a boost clock of up to 3.8 GHz. This CPU is commonly found in much more powerful notebooks, particularly ones aimed at the gaming market. Our review unit puts up a good show, coming in at 603 in Cinebench R15"s multi-threaded test. This is in line with other multimedia notebooks like the HP Pavilion 15t, but falls behind gaming-oriented notebooks like the Lenovo Legion Y520 and Samsung Odyssey.

Whereas most 2-in-1"s rely on integrated graphics baked into the CPU die, the Lenovo Yoga 720 is instead outfitted with a dedicated GPU. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 is an entry-level graphics card but offers a substantial improvement over the Intel HD Graphics found in other convertibles like the XPS 13 2-in-1. It should be noted that Lenovo has opted to use a GTX 1050 with only 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM as opposed to the more common (and powerful) 4 GB variant. However, as shown by the 3DMark Fire Strike test, this difference shouldn"t result in any noticeable detriment. Larger amounts of VRAM become especially important at higher resolutions (1440p and higher, in particular); as long as settings are set reasonably and resolutions are kept to 1920x1080, the GPU performance of the Yoga 720 should be comparable to that of other notebooks.

Compared to the Spectre x360 15, which uses NVIDIA"s GeForce 940MX, the Yoga 720 performs 2-3 times better, depending on the application or game. As such, our review unit may prove a good choice to those in search of a convertible notebook with much more power than other 2-in-1"s. Users in need of better graphical performance should look at notebooks with the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. The Lenovo Legion Y520, which sports the GTX 1050 Ti, comes in about 30% higher in Fire Strike.

The system does not fare as well when both FurMark and Prime95 are running. While the GPU continues to exceed expectations, averaging a core clock of an impressive 1506 MHz and temperatures of 79º C, the CPU is hit hard and aggressively throttles. Average clock speeds are a measly 800 MHz. This result is very surprising, as temperatures remain relatively cool at about 75º C. However, looking at the measurements over time, we see that the CPU isn"t able to hold even its base clock without temperatures quickly approaching 100º C, which is the rated thermal limit for the i7-7700HQ. Lenovo seems to have tuned the system this way to control heat. This is sensible, as the device may be put under stress when in tablet mode. This aggressive underclocking may be an attempt to keep temperatures and noise down while the device is in users" hands.

Temperatures remain fairly cool, save for one key spot: the top center of both the keyboard deck and underside get uncomfortably hot to the touch. This is the spot where most heat is exhausted and should not be touched when the device is under load. The palm rest and keyboard get warm but are not uncomfortable. Hands will get sweaty, though.

The Lenovo Yoga 15 can be aptly described as a "jack of all trades, master of none." It straddles several different notebook categories and does well in each, but overall makes some compromises to accommodate such a broad range of scenarios. It"s a convertible with gaming chops, a multimedia notebook with a 2-in-1 design, and a portable, well-built entry-level gaming notebook. With so many different potential use cases, it"s hard to find one thing the Yoga 720 does exceptionally well.

The chassis is exquisitely built and looks subdued and elegant. The keyboard is great for casual users and typists alike. The screen has an even color profile that greatly improves with calibrations. The inclusion of a quad-core CPU and dedicated GPU are welcome additions over the low-powered components typically found in 2-in-1s.

But the port selection is lacking. The keyboard doesn"t do anything to stand out. The screen is highly reflective, which is problematic in the wrong lighting. And the CPU is heavily throttled to maintain reasonable temperatures.Overall, the Lenovo Yoga 720 is a decent "do everything" notebook. It is a very capable and versatile device, bridging the gap between convertible, multimedia, and low-tier gaming devices. While there are notebooks that outshine the Yoga 720 in each of these respective categories, this is a good option for someone in search of an "all-rounder" that packs several different styles of notebook in one package.

Lenovo Yoga (stylized as Lenovo YOGA or simply YOGΛ) is a line of consumer-oriented laptop computers and tablets designed, developed and marketed by Lenovo, named for their ability to assume multiple form factors due to a hinged screen.

The Yoga 13"s capacitive touch display allows for up to 10-point touch control. The Yoga 13 is powered by an Intel Chief River platform, using an Ivy Bridge processor, has 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM, and SSD with 128 GB or 256 GB.

The 13-inch Yoga was released by Lenovo on 26 October 2012. Best Buy released an alternative version of the Yoga 13 with an Intel Core i5 processor (vs. Lenovo"s base model"s i3 processor) and no Microsoft Office (whereas Lenovo"s base model includes Microsoft Office). Its smaller cousin, Yoga 11, which runs Windows RT (as opposed to the Yoga 13, running Windows 8), was released in December 2012.

The ThinkPad Yoga has a "backlit" keyboard that flattens when flipped into tablet mode. This is accomplished with a platform surrounding the keys rises until level with the keyboard buttons, a locking mechanism that prevents key presses, and feet that pop out to prevent the keyboard from directly resting on flat surfaces. Lenovo implemented this design in response to complaints about its earlier Yoga 13 and 11 models being awkward to use in tablet mode. A reinforced hinge was required to implement this design. Other than its convertible form factor, the ThinkPad Yoga is a rather standard ThinkPad device with a black magnesium-reinforced chassis, island keyboard, a red TrackPoint, and a large buttonless touchpad. The first model was powered by Haswell processors from Intel, and SATA-based SSD or hard drives were both options on this model.

The Lenovo Yoga 2 11 is an Ultrabook-class convertible device that can be used as both a tablet and laptop computer. The Yoga 2 11 is thinner than the Yoga 11 and has tapered edges giving it an appearance more like a conventional Ultrabook laptop vs the earlier model"s pleasing "book-like" symmetrical design. The Yoga 2 11 has a subtle rubber trim around the edge of its top half in order to prevent slipping on hard surfaces when in tent mode.

The Yoga 2 Pro is an Ultrabook-class device. It weighs 3.1 pounds, is 0.61 inch thick and has tapered edges, giving it an appearance more like a conventional ultrabook laptop vs the earlier model"s "book-like" symmetrical design. The Yoga 2 Pro features a 360-Degree Flip-and-Fold design that encompasses four modes—laptop, stand, tablet, and tent mode and has a subtle rubber trim around the edge of its top half in order to prevent slipping on hard surfaces when in tent mode. It comes with a backlit AccuType keyboard and features stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater. Unlike earlier Yoga products, the home button has a touch-key on the bottom center of the display. Lenovo moved the power button away from the front and to the side in order to prevent accidental key presses.

The base model has an Intel Core i3 4010U, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and a 128-gigabyte solid state drive with configurations up to an Intel Core i7 4500U, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and a 512-gigabyte solid-state drive. The 13.3-inch screen uses in-plane switching (IPS) technology, has a high resolution QHD+ (3200×1800) 10-point multitouch display, and a brightness of 350 nits. The Yoga 2 Pro has Intel Wireless Display technology in order to conform to the Ultrabook specification. It has ports for USB 3.0, USB 2.0, micro-HDMI, a 2-in-1 card reader, and a combination audio input-output jack. Lenovo claimed a battery life of up to nine hours.

The IdeaPad Yoga Tablet is an Android tablet with a multi-mode device with a rear kickstand designed to allow it to be placed upright for viewing videos and other media or tilted for easier text entry. The Yoga Tablet has a round battery that can last as long as 18 hours. It comes in models with 10-inch and 8-inch screens. Internal storage varies from 16 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes.

The Yoga 3 comes in versions with 11.6-inch and 14-inch screens, both with 1080p resolution. The screens can rotate 360 degrees for use as a laptop or tablet. The Yoga 3 can also be placed in "tent mode" where it acts as a stand for itself while hiding its keyboard for activities like watching movies. It uses an Intel Core M processor. The 14-inch model is offered with Core i5 and Core i7 versions. Both models can accommodate up to 8 gigabytes of memory. Configurations with up to 500 gigabytes of SSD capacity are available.

The Yoga 3 Pro is thin Broadwell-based 13.3-inch touchscreen laptop with a hinge that allows for use as a tablet and other configurations. It uses Intel Core M processors and comes standard with solid-state drives. Its screen has 3200 pixel by 1800 pixel resolution and is multitouch capable.

In a review for PC World, Elias Plastiras wrote, "It"s super-light and easy to handle as a laptop and as a tablet, and it feels good to type on for long periods of time. Basically, as far as user comfort is concerned, it"s excellent. That said, it does have some issues. It can tend to get noticeably warm when you"re streaming video or performing other tasks that make plenty of use of the CPU and Wi-Fi adapter, and the battery life is also not great, primarily due to the large screen resolution that needs a lot of power to be bright."

The Yoga Tablet 2 with AnyPen is a Windows-based tablet computer with an 8-inch 1080p display. It weighs .43 kg and Lenovo claims it has a battery life of 15 hours. Lenovo"s AnyPen technology allows the use of pencils, ballpoint pens, and other traditional writing instruments to write on the screen like a stylus. The Yoga Tablet 2 was released in January 2015.

The Yoga Book is a compact hybrid tablet designed similarly to the Yoga laptops that is available in both Android Marshmallow and Windows 10 Home versions. Featuring the same "watchband hinge" as the Yoga 3 Pro, the major difference is that the traditional mechanical keyboard is replaced with a pressure-sensitive "Create Pad" that responds to an active stylus with 2,048 levels of pressure and a backlit, touch-sensitive "Halo Keyboard" with haptic feedback. The device is powered by an Intel Atom x5 processor and has a 10.1-inch full HD screen, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage with microSD card expansion support, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and optional 4G LTE. It became available for sale in September 2016.

The Yoga 510 uses the same Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors as the 14-inch version of the Yoga 710. It can also use AMD A9 processors. It comes in versions with 14-inch and 15-inch IPS displays with 1080p resolution. The 510 is called the Flex 4 in the United States.

Released fall 2018,Book C930 is a 2-in-1 laptop with two screens, which replaced the traditional keyboard with an e-ink screen which functions as a keyboard, touchpad, or writer and reader tablet.

This is the lower-tier laptop of the YOGA middle-class range (YOGA 600 series and 700 series). It has a 13.3" FHD IPS Display, and Intel"s 10th generation Core processors. The design of the laptop incorporates speakers into the sides of the keyboard.

This model of laptop features a 13.9" screen, with the option to add a 4K resolution panel instead of 1080p. Also featuring Intel 10th gen processors, it is one step down from the C940, the flagship of this series.

Lenovo 9i comes in both 14-inch and 15-inch display size, The weight is 2 kg. It includes 10th-Gen processors up to the Core i9 HK Series, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and a GPU up to Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Ti with Max-Q design.

In October 2016, Lenovo released "LINUX only" versions of the BIOS for some of the affected machines. This BIOS adds the ability to switch the drive mode into AHCI. Lenovo states that these BIOSes should not be used for Windows operating systems (obviously as they prefer most users to remain on the industry supported bios, unless they have a reason not to.)

Until recently, you couldn"t find a truly premium 2-in-1 for under $1,000. However, the $750 Lenovo Yoga 710 15-inch is proof of how quickly that"s changing. For far less than a grand, this bend-back notebook punches above its price tag, competing with our favorite 2-in-1s, such as the HP Spectre x360. The Yoga 710"s beautiful display, responsive keyboard and strong performance make it a fantastic large-screen 2-in-1 and a great value.

The Yoga 710 sports a minimalist aesthetic with an all-black aluminum body. The lid features a shiny Yoga logo in silver and Lenovo"s seal in gray, but is otherwise plain. The hinges, which are silver on the 11-inch and 14-inch models of the 710, are a dark gunmetal gray. Opening the lid shows off the 15.6-inch 1080p display with a small bezel, island-style keyboard and the trackpad.

>At 4.2 pounds and 14.1 x 9.6 x 0.7 inches, the Yoga 710 is on the smaller and lighter end of the 15-inch-convertible spectrum. The HP Spectre x360 15t weighs the same as the Yoga, but it"s larger (14.8 x 9.8 x 0.6 inches), and the Samsung Notebook 7 Spin is about the same size (14 x 10.1 x 0.8 inches) but far heftier, at 5 pounds. The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 has the chunkiest footprint, at 14.9 x 9.9 x 0.7 inches, and weighs 4.6 pounds.

The 360-degree hinges on the Yoga allow the notebook to be used in four modes: laptop, tablet (by folding the screen all the way back), tent (an upside-down "V") and stand (the screen standing up with the keyboard facedown).

I hope you don"t have too many peripherals, because the Yoga 710 has fewer ports than its competitors. The left side is home to the power jack, SD card slot and headphone jack. On the right side are a micro-HDMI port and two USB 3.0 ports. The Inspiron 15 offers three USB ports; the Spectre x360 and Notebook 7 each offer four, all with USB Type-C among them. All three also have full-size HDMI outputs rather than micro HDMI.

The Yoga 710"s display had a Delta-E color accuracy score of 0.8 (0 is best). That"s superior to the category average of 2.3, and also better than the Inspiron 15 (0.9), the Notebook 7 Spin (1.8) and the Spectre x360 (4.1).

On top of that, the screen has an average brightness of 322 nits, which is more luminous than the category average (267 nits), the Notebook 7 Spin (260 nits), the Spectre x360 (246 nits) and the Inspiron 15 (244 nits).

The 4.1 x 2.7-inch touchpad was responsive to navigation and Windows 10 gestures, including switching among apps with three fingers and swiping down to reveal the desktop.

The speakers on the Yoga 710 are loud enough to fill a room, but they"re a little tinny. When I listened to Yellowcard"s "For You, And Your Denial," the vocals sounded a bit hollow, but the guitars, drums and violin were all very clear. When I folded it into tablet mode, the speakers echoed.

Armed with a 2.5-GHz Intel Core i5-7200U CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU with 2GB of VRAM, our review configuration Yoga 710 will serve multitaskers well. I had 30 tabs open in Chrome, one of which was streaming 1080p video, and didn"t see any lag at all.

The Yoga 710 took 31 seconds to transfer 4.97GB of mixed media files, which translates to 164.2 megabytes per second. That"s faster than the average of 156.3 MBps, as well as the SSDs in the Spectre x360 (149.7 MBps) and the Inspiron 15 (122.6 MBps) and the 5,400-rpm HDD in the Notebook 7 Spin.

It took the Yoga 710 4 minutes and 2 seconds to complete the OpenOffice spreadsheet macro, which involves pairing 20,000 names and addresses. The average mainstream notebook takes 4:28, the Inspiron 15 took 4:47, the Spectre x360 completed the task in 4:31 and the Notebook 7 Spin needed 4:03.The Yoga 710 is on the smaller and lighter end of the 15-inch-convertible spectrum.

While the Yoga 710 has an Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU with 2GB of RAM, that card isn"t powerful enough for intense games such as Doom, Metro: Last Light and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You"re more likely to see a performance bump in apps such as Photoshop.

The Yoga 710 earned a score of 84,670 on the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited graphics benchmark. That"s a small boost over the mainstream average of 84,048 but falls short of the Notebook 7 Spin with the same GPU. The Inspiron 15 and Spectre x360, both with integrated Intel HD Graphics 520, had lesser scores of 64,067 and 64,632, respectively.

The Yoga 710 endured for 9 hours and 19 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuously web browsing over Wi-Fi. That"s better than the mainstream average of 6:36 and the HP Spectre (8:27). The Inspiron 15 7000"s battery life was even shorter (6:55), and the Notebook 7 survived for a paltry 5:53.

The 720p webcam on the Yoga 710 took grainy, overexposed photos. A photo I took in our labs went way overboard on the light bouncing off my forehead and cheeks, making me look even paler than usual (and I don"t need the help). The photo was detailed enough to show off the stitching on my collar, but all of the noise was distracting.

No matter which position you keep it in, the Yoga 710 will stay nice and cool. After we streamed 15 minutes of HD video from Hulu, the bottom of the notebook reached 87 degrees Fahrenheit, the keyboard hit 84 degrees and the touchpad measured 79.5 degrees. All of those measurements are below our 95-degree comfort threshold.

There"s not that much in the way of preinstalled software on the Yoga 710. The bloatware consists solely of the usual suspects: Candy Crush Soda Saga, Farmville 2: Country Escape, Flipboard and Twitter. Lenovo"s Settings app gives you fine control over display and power settings, while the Companion app scans the laptop for hardware issues.

The Yoga 710 that we reviewed is a $750 configuration that includes a 2.5-GHz Intel Core i5-7200U CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU with 2GB of VRAM.

Between its beautiful screen, responsive keyboard and solid performance, the Lenovo Yoga 710 is the best 15-inch hybrid you can get for $1,000 or less. If you want a better display and superior speakers, consider the HP Spectre x360 15t. The trade-offs for choosing that machine, however, are a shallow keyboard,a higher price tag (the HP starts at $1,149) and shorter battery life.

But if you want one of the best keyboards on a 2-in-1 and can trade a little battery life, you"ll save a lot of cash by going with the Yoga 710, which provides superior value and usability.
