The 15-inch Yoga 720 has a beautiful all-aluminum chassis that looks and feels great. In Lenovo's own words, the Yoga 700 models are their "premium 2-in-1 laptops," and that description is apt here. 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. We will also compare the Yoga against some multimedia notebooks, namely the Dell (UHD) and HP Pavilion 15t-bc200. For this review, we have chosen the HP Spectre x360 15 and Dell 2-in-1, both of which are excellent convertibles. As such, we will closely examine all of these factors and see how our unit stacks up against notebooks from each of these categories. The moderate power of the GTX 1050 also grants the Yoga 720 some gaming chops, albeit at lower settings. 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 Yoga 720 under review spans several categories. (At the time of this review, Lenovo was offering this model for $1,049 on their site). Our particular configuration retails from Lenovo for about $1,260, although Lenovo frequently has sales. 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 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. 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. Today we look at the 15-inch model to see what Lenovo has to offer in their largest and most powerful Yoga yet. With the Yoga 720 line, Lenovo has made some design tweaks and component upgrades to address these issues. 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. 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. Lenovo has been the dominant force in the convertible notebook market since the introduction of its Yoga notebooks back in 2012.
