the 13-inch Lenovo yoga 720 is sort of a
bargain in the world of tuned ones
it starts at around $800 so it's not
exactly cheap but lenovo gave it some
premium touches like a slim metal
chassis that weighs 2.9 pounds sturdy
hinges that allow you to rotate the
screen and hold it in multiple positions
and support for one of its active pens
the full HD touchscreen might not win on
color or brightness but for mainstream
use it's just fine and the skinny screen
bezels and edge to edge glass keep with
the high-end feel and lenovo wisely
leaves the webcam at the top of the
screen the keyboard doesn't have any odd
key sizes like earlier yogas and they're
clearly labeled and brightly backlit it
has a windows precision touchpad that
works really well without any cursor
jumpiness and you'd get a fingerprint
reader off to the side for instant
logins with Windows hello mainstream
components inside give you enough
performance for day-to-day tasks with a
battery life of a little under 9 hours
in our tests you can expect less than
that though with demanding use as well
as some fan noise also when it comes to
connections you'll be relying on
adapters for things like an SD card
reader Ethernet or video output but you
do get two USB C ports and one with
Thunderbolt 3 support that's used for
charging / although this is a pretty
nice little two-in-one for students or
the home office where some added
flexibility comes in handy and a nice
design is appreciated
