People have issue with the hinges because they crack the screen. I'm guessing they leave it on with the lid close with causes heat in those areas and affects the glue behind the hinge.
I purchased the 15" 4k version from Best Buy for $1,100 about a week ago (KabyLake i7/ 16gb Ram/256 SSD). It's slim and light for its size in my opinion. The screen looks great. Fans were pretty loud upon initial startup and use. Sure enough, online forums showed this as an issue with these models. I used the Lenovo companion app to update system, along with windows update. Then I manually updated drivers in the device manager. Specifically - Look for and update driver "Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller" under System Services in the Device Manager. Disable and uninstall Notebook Fam Control if u have it installed. Then I updated BIOS (find it on Lenovo support site). Laptop is pretty damn silent now. Fans kick in when multitasking, but they're running much quieter now (almost inaudible). And the laptop stays cool.
Constant stream of very high quality laptop reviews on this channel that have been going on forever. How does this woman do it? How does she find the time? Do the manufacturers pay her for her time? Genuinely curious, but I'm not complaining - it's great work and very informative!
Stefanis.com.cy Cyprus and its brilliant , buy it if you can , screen is very readable even in sunlight and its very quiet, battery lasts a long time as stated in the specs, cost me 1299 euros but its worth every penny
NotebookcheckReview tells you more about how good it is for video editing, remember the one i bought is the Kaby Lake i7 not the i5 with 512 ssd 8 gb of ram 940mx graphics, you can calibrate the colours if you are not happy with them
idk why people are complaining about the fan on the 710? I hear mine occasionally but its nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion, the fact that the fans are on top rather than the bottom (HP) makes it much better.
Hi Lisa, this unit reminds me of my Samsung ATIV Book 9 Spin...which I know you really enjoyed! Still using my Spin and luv it as day one. Merry Christmas Lisa and staff!
I purchased this 1 week ago. Searched around and found one with an i7 7th Gen and a 16 gig ram. Love it and can't find any flaws. With all BestBuy XMas discounts came to $850 including tax, original price $1,199 without tax. I have search long and hard and glad I found this video. Have been considering opening it up and swapping the 256 gig SSD with a larger SSD. So happy to see that opening it up is not a big deal. Do you think the SSD is upgradable?
I have used this laptop intensively for almost 3 years now . I remapped the shift key .Other than a meh battery life this laptop has been fast and great sounding the dedicated graphics are not much but i would re buy in a heartbeat .Solid machine used for production every day. Just be careful with the screen that is high quality an very comfortable on the eyes.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but there is indeed a 4k version of this laptop but it is a Best buy exclusive. all other specs are the same. I tried it out and returned it for the HP x360 since the 4k model used way too much battery life for the screen. I am sure the FHD version will be a better product as a result.
watching this on my 710! the exact same model lisa has. i got it for just 750 on black friday. super super happy with it except the body is a bit creaky and there is some led bleeding which i dont really mind
Shayan got the 14 inch version. sadly my body is a bit creaky too. didnt expect that from a aluminium body. but in terms of perfomance u love it. is the hench of yours creaky too ? everytime i open or close mine it cracks :/
Lars Nixon mine doesnt creak while opening or closing but below the display on the left side theres really loud creaking when i press it while going to tablet mode. Its probably because the price is so low. Other metallic laptops in this price dont have a dgpu so cant really complain
Hey I've had the same issue with my 710 as well! I thought it was just me with this issue but it's kind of a relief to see that other people have the same problem, but at the same time, it's not a relief. Just wanted to know if you guys have seen any issues due to the creaking noise or if its just an audible thing.
I have been waiting for this review since I bought my 710 in September. I got the 14 inch version for $860 after tax I think. This is the best light convertible laptop for this price point for now. The only drawbacks for me at least is the shift key which you can get used to and the camera is garbage but its usable.
IO9802 lmao someone just tried giving a wiki link to look smart. Too bad that description fits for that laptop. I suggest using your fucking logic in the future
Shayan Lmao someone just responded 1 minute after I gave the entire article with 20+ sources. Too bad you obviously didn't read it (otherwise you'd know it doesn't fit it simply by having a dGPU). I suggest taking an English course.
Just to be fair, Lenovo handled the fan noise on 910 with their latest BIOS update that they published oh 14th of december. So no more noise as well for the 910.
I got this in 2016. Hard Drive crashed on the first week but they gave me a new one no problem! I haven't had a problem in the last 4 years until today:( screen wont turn on and key board is flashing. Either way I would recommend this laptop to anyone. I guess 4 years is the limit for these things from what im told.
There is 14 inch kaby lake + 940MX too. I lost 30% of battery max capacity of skylake version in 3 weeks. Stock max was 53Wh, now it charges only to 38Wh. Gonna return it and try kaby lake version now. If it still sucks im gonna switch to dell vostro with normal Shift because this one is annoying. Skylake holds only about 4 hours on windows 8 for me.
4:25 Dumb question: Is the wi-fi antenna single band or dual band? I know somebody w/an older Lenovo Yoga convertible (Model 2 maybe?) that had the single band who has had connectivity issues starting at about 30 feet away from her router. Granted she lives in the country and her ISP is Comcast, but none of her other devices (off the top of my head includes an old HP Win 7 laptop, a couple of Ipads, an XBox One, Xbox 360 and a Wii-U) has connectivity issues to this extent. I took the laptop to her local library and ... had similar issues w/their free wi-fi. Dead zones all over the place. I really liked the feel of this older Yoga convertible and I'd look into one of these models if this issue had been corrected, otherwise I'd pass. (I've got kind of crappy wi-fi too.)
I recently bought in essentially this category but decided to go with the Asus Zenbook 330 (I decided I didn't want a 2-in-1);have you tried that out one Lisa? I was able to grab it for $679 on Amazon a few days ago and absolutely love it so far. The battery is amazing. And btw, I haven't heard the fan but once since i've had it over 30+ hours of use, only time I've heard it was during anniversary update for about 30 seconds. Even during long sessions of twitch viewing, zero fan noise.
I have this exact laptop and it works well. I'm a student so this holds up to all of my basic needs however it does get some strikes for the portability and use in a cramped lecture hall. Not very easy to put on a small desk. Other than that I highly recommend it!
shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/yoga-710-15/?menu-id=yoga_710_15 . Look at the second column- Intel 7th gen (it's the config we use for this review). Model is 80V50000US
Lisa Is this the perfect laptop for me ? Or should i wait until the gtx 10 series cards to come to this device as you stated in your video of what laptops you would buy and not buy in late 2016? Here are my wants in purchasing a new laptop. -Premium Slim Design -2 in 1 for tablet mode for Comic Rack Reasons eliminating my out of date tablet -Mild Gaming such as Indie and free to play games on steam ( smite, dota, path of exile, torchlight etc.) -Under $1000 USD. Thanks in advance.
I used Notebook Fancontrol to solve this problem and it worked for me. Here, read through this thread: forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/ll06_en/thread-id/42185/page/1 Pay attention though, you need to look for either the Kaby Lake or the Skylake values, depending on your model.
How is the battery life of this laptop? I am planning on buying this for college and will use this for mainly programming and a bit of lightweight gaming.
Hey I love your channel! What laptop would you recommend for a web developer? Can you also give a recommendation for a PC tower as well? BTW, I'm not interested in a MacBook. Thank you
A mistake : Not 2 fans 1 for the gpu and 1 for the CPU. 2 Fans for both CPU and GPU as I can see there is only 1 block for the 2 heatpipes. So the heat from both cpu and gpu is going at the same time on both heat pipes ... THis is way better than Separate solutions.
Lisa - Would you recommend the smaller version of the 710 (11") for someone who's looking for a small, lightweight tablet? I'm also waiting to see what the Galaxy TabPro S2 (Model SM-W720) looks like. I want a 2 in 1, but smaller and lighter than most 13" convertibles and I'd like above average battery life.
Hello Lisa. I'm an avid follower of your videos though not subscribed. There may be a problem with your mic or something in the audio. Every time I listen to you from a loudspeaker or head phones..there is a sharp hissing sound at the end of each word you speak. Tried to check whether its my end here but I don't get the same with other videos from youtube. So am guessing there is something that needs to be fixed in the audio department.Try and listen to yourself or ask someone to listen in and see if they will catch it otherwise.Keep it up. I love your channel all the way from Thailand
Disassembly void warranty? Ideapad 100 core i5 5200 2.2GH contains blue-tip tamper detect screw. Heat dissipation problems limiting life of some new notebooks, we hear.
Thanks for opening the notebooks you review. Lovely machine, but I hate seeing those fans. For me, just notebooks without fans (which are few). You lose a bit on performance, but total silence is golden for me.
Hi Kaby, I just purchase this laptop, I just know that the size is not 15.6 inches compare with my the HP Chromebook 15.6 kind of shorter, Just want to let you know, what do you think?
Please let me know about the mic you are using for your videos. It looks like wireless clip kind of mini recorder. Please help me with the link if possible. Thanks!
Nice review (as usual!). But its hard to justify spending more than ~$500 as you can for an Acer Aspire for a basic long battery life functional productivity option to be used in addition to a much more capable/powerful dedicated 1070/1080 power option.
I had this laptop. There is a chronic issue with the display cable, It is broken easily and screen starts to flicker. You can find the details on RUclips. So many people experiencing same issue. My display got broken 3 years later ( You may think not bad) Moreover, mouse pad got broken in 2 year. It doesn't answer clicking and the worst one is speakers got broken in only three months. So overall this laptop look good, however I really don't recommend it.
Its funny, best Buy has a 4k version of this machine for 1100 right now as of writing with 16gb of ram. And its screen looks really good for color quality. Super tempting over more expensive machines that have 4k displays for photography.
Hi Lisa! Please help! Please post a review for the recently release Lenovo Yoga 720 2017 edition as I need help in making a choice in picking between that or the Hp spectre x360 15 2017 edition as well.
Patrick G Just an amazing machine have mine that is the model in review picked up for 680 open box.Fabulous and no fan noise ever.the headphone jack blows your brains out with top notch sound Dolby surround Get one .This thing rocks.
ercoolee Thanks man! I just got mine a few days back as well. No regrets. basically everything you said haha. However my only concern is somehow it says that my laptop doesn't support Windows Hello so I can't use the fingerprint reader. I don't understand why :( are you having the same problems? is it a software thing?😂
Patrick G it is a flawless fingerprint reader Go online with Lenovo they will help you I had a driver problem with sound and was quickly solved. No need to return .Good luck.! make sure to go into Lenovo settings app and update all driver's It is an automatic process.
Hi Lisa, I was wondering, if you could say anything to how the 710 compares to the 2016 15 inch HP envy 360? Is there anything that sets them apart especially in user experience? Thanks for the help!
Hi Lisa, When will the Thinkpad Yoga 370 review be coming out? I'm a big Thinkpad user (10 years now!) and you, by far, give the best and most thorough review for Thinkpads! Thanks for all your hard work!
lisa, in your expeience the lenovo 910 fan make noise ? noise that is loud and insufferable ? and if it's do you think it's count as lenovo mistake and not to buy the laptop ?
Hey Lisa can u please do a video on the best 2 in 1 tablets/pcs for high school. I have looked everyone where but I can't seem to find an informational video about it. Can u please do it with a wide ranch of different prices as that doesn't bother me
vs. the HP Spectre x360 i7 15", which is better? They seem pretty much the same for me. P.S. I realized that the Spectre has a deal for only $1,100 on Amazon, so..
There is fan noise after the update also. I have replaced the laptop twice and still both of them got the fan noise. It is not true that it is only available in 1080p versions. I am using the 4k variant
No the bios update fixed the power management issues in all kabby lake devices by Lenovo the 910 , 900, and 710 4k and 710 14" were effected. Just goto your Lenovo Companion and run your scan and it will download the drivers and updates for you so u don't have to search for them on Lenovo's support page.
Hi Lisa, i've got a question. I recently purchased this laptop, however i've noticed that only the left fan runs and dissepates heat. The right one never turns on. Can you confirm if i have got a defect fan? or is this someway Lenovo logic? Thanks!
is there a difference between nvidia and the intel graphics adapter? is it worth to pay 200€ more for the nvidia version? i want to use the notebook for school and office things.
got this laptop 4 years ago. 4 years later the battery has completely died. laptop immediately turns off once i unplug it from the charger. the screen turns blank white randomly while i use it. and the track pad constantly gets stuck and i wasn't able to use it for about a week until it randomly started working again. this is after 4 years of everyday use. the battery has lasted quite a while. i think i just need to install a new one (right?) - everything else i don't know how to fix.
I think I'm going to pick one of these up to replace my Surface Pro 3 - The 4th Gen i7 in the Surface Pro 3 isn't really great and it's feeling the strain after a few years. The Surface Laptop has very similar specs to this (just looks nicer) and this should be quite a bit more powerful than my Surface Pro 3 I have now - Probably the cheapest 2-in-1 offering decent specs. I also looked at the XPS13 with 7th i7 too
which is a better choice? I can only afford the 14" i7-7500u w10 version with 4gb and 1tb hdd version sold on lazada. can it be upgraded? eg: changing the ram to 8gb/16gb and the rom to ssd
I saw Microcenters's have the version with the i5-7200u for $349 (no dedicated graphics, you can easily upgrade the ram and add an SSD for about $100. If i was willing to go for a heavier laptop with no dedicated graphics (HD 620 is pretty good if you are not a serious gamer). That would be a very good value. www.microcenter.com/product/469303/Aspire_E5-575-5493_156_Laptop_Computer_-_Obsidian_Black
I am watching this on a Lenovo Yoga 710 but it's slow and laggy. I got it at a best buy where they were doing tax-free on laptops and this was open box. It is in pristine condition but I don't know why it's slow.
The right shift problem can be easily solved if laptop manufacturers just put the 4 arrrow keys in a single row like [left][right][up][down]. They seem to have a weird obsession that the up key must be above the down key; no it needs not.
I just got it and I don't recommend it, mainly because the keyboard is bad designed, is off center, and backspace and right shift key are not where they're supposed to be. Lenovo realized their mistake and fixed the keyboard on the new models. So instead of getting this one, get the 720 model which has a normal keyboard.
your wrong about the fps on games I run skyrim se on 768p on high setting getting excellent frame rate. I can run any game on 768p on high settings so I'm not sure where your getting your specs from
MotoBrothers it might be a best buy exclusive model. I got mine at best buy and it has a fingerprint scanner. but I haven't seen the same model anywhere else.
Hi, there Im looking at a laptop for video editing, would the lenovo be a good possibility and run smoothly running adobe creative cloud? MY other option was a 2015 Mac Book pro but it costs nearly twice as much and also has less storage. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
i got a question i have a flickering problem with my screen is there anything that you think is wrong or broken in my computer or any wires disconnected.
Nice review! This may be my next laptop.
Had mine for 3.3 years never an issue.
Is it good for programming? Like Java?
People have issue with the hinges because they crack the screen. I'm guessing they leave it on with the lid close with causes heat in those areas and affects the glue behind the hinge.
@allen0088 mine still going strong 💪 🤣 also said I do take good care of it.
finally, found the right fit for me...15.6" screen, narrow bezel, top mounted camera and dGPU...great job Lenovo!
I purchased the 15" 4k version from Best Buy for $1,100 about a week ago (KabyLake i7/ 16gb Ram/256 SSD). It's slim and light for its size in my opinion. The screen looks great.

awesome!! I was just looking at this laptop the other day! YAY - a Lisa Review!! Thanks!!
I wish she was my aunt..so that I can get one of her laptop for free.😭
I wish shes my mom. lol
Gravity vid - I wish she was my aunt so that I would finally know a female worth having a conversation with.
I wish that she was my cat
most of the laptops are loaned
genius
Lisa sets the bench mark for reviews. 1st class lady!
Constant stream of very high quality laptop reviews on this channel that have been going on forever. How does this woman do it? How does she find the time? Do the manufacturers pay her for her time? Genuinely curious, but I'm not complaining - it's great work and very informative!
Correction , just got the 14" with 7th gen i7 cpu and 940m graphics 512 ssd 8gb ram, always enjoy your reviews
Paul Sergides where did u get it?
Stefanis.com.cy Cyprus and its brilliant , buy it if you can , screen is very readable even in sunlight and its very quiet, battery lasts a long time as stated in the specs, cost me 1299 euros but its worth every penny
is it good enough for video editing?
In my opinion yes it is , i do photo editing and its just fine
NotebookcheckReview tells you more about how good it is for video editing, remember the one i bought is the Kaby Lake i7 not the i5 with 512 ssd 8 gb of ram 940mx graphics, you can calibrate the colours if you are not happy with them
One of the best latop reviews thanks.
Thanks for the review. I always enjoy watching your videos :)
i want this laptop! Great price! Great performance! Great touchscreen with 360 degree! Lenovo is my favorite of windows laptops
idk why people are complaining about the fan on the 710? I hear mine occasionally but its nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion, the fact that the fans are on top rather than the bottom (HP) makes it much better.
This is my current laptop but 14 inch model. Love it and great daily driver 😁
Hi Lisa, this unit reminds me of my Samsung ATIV Book 9 Spin...which I know you really enjoyed! Still using my Spin and luv it as day one.
Merry Christmas Lisa and staff!
I have the 15.6 in 4K i7 version with 16gb 256gb SSD. Bought for $1100 at Best Buy. And it's Niiiice!
How nice? Can it play videos in 4k hdr?
I purchased this 1 week ago. Searched around and found one with an i7 7th Gen and a 16 gig ram. Love it and can't find any flaws.

I tried it out and returned it for the HP x360 since the 4k model used way too much battery life for the screen. I am sure the FHD version will be a better product as a result.
Daniel Betancourt actually it has 16gb of RAM vs 8gb of RAM but other than that and the 4K screen all the specs are the same
"Grab 'em by the USB ports!" 4:12
Amazing review! Very complete ! thank you!!
watching this on my 710! the exact same model lisa has. i got it for just 750 on black friday. super super happy with it except the body is a bit creaky and there is some led bleeding which i dont really mind
Shayan got the 14 inch version. sadly my body is a bit creaky too. didnt expect that from a aluminium body. but in terms of perfomance u love it. is the hench of yours creaky too ? everytime i open or close mine it cracks :/

Okey.thank you. Yeah and if it wont break and yust cracks a bit its no problem for me and still a good deal!
Hey I've had the same issue with my 710 as well! I thought it was just me with this issue but it's kind of a relief to see that other people have the same problem, but at the same time, it's not a relief. Just wanted to know if you guys have seen any issues due to the creaking noise or if its just an audible thing.
The Game Vids nope no issues. Still as good as day 1
I have been waiting for this review since I bought my 710 in September. I got the 14 inch version for $860 after tax I think. This is the best light convertible laptop for this price point for now.

Why is Lenovo Like the only one who makes 14" ultrabooks
Zack Halverson This isn't an Ultrabook.
this is an ultrabook
Shayan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrabook
I suggest reading up before saying stupid things in the future.
IO9802 lmao someone just tried giving a wiki link to look smart. Too bad that description fits for that laptop. I suggest using your fucking logic in the future
Shayan Lmao someone just responded 1 minute after I gave the entire article with 20+ sources. Too bad you obviously didn't read it (otherwise you'd know it doesn't fit it simply by having a dGPU). I suggest taking an English course.
Micro HDMI on the 15" model, full HDMI on the 14" model? That makes a lot of sense ...
Just to be fair, Lenovo handled the fan noise on 910 with their latest BIOS update that they published oh 14th of december. So no more noise as well for the 910.
Will you make a 2015 Macbook Pro 13 base model vs 2016 Macbook Pro 13 base model? You're the only reviewer I truly trust!
Thanks for your nice all-round review. By the way did you notice any noise while video calling given that the microphone is placed over the fans?
I got this in 2016. Hard Drive crashed on the first week but they gave me a new one no problem! I haven't had a problem in the last 4 years until today:( screen wont turn on and key board is flashing. Either way I would recommend this laptop to anyone.

There is 14 inch kaby lake + 940MX too. I lost 30% of battery max capacity of skylake version in 3 weeks. Stock max was 53Wh, now it charges only to 38Wh. Gonna return it and try kaby lake version now. If it still sucks im gonna switch to dell vostro with normal Shift because this one is annoying.
Skylake holds only about 4 hours on windows 8 for me.
Lisa -- have you done any reviews where you call out Lenovo on its terrible keyboard decisions, such as on the 710S?
Lisa, great review. What is the game you were playing with touch controls?
4:25 Dumb question: Is the wi-fi antenna single band or dual band?

The Skylake version is the only one I can see on Lenovo's US website...
shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/yoga-710-15/?menu-id=yoga_710_15 . Look at the second column- Intel 7th gen (it's the config we use for this review). Model is 80V50000US
+MobileTechReview can you review notebook 7 spin
perhaps its only available in Europe
Lisa Is this the perfect laptop for me ? Or should i wait until the gtx 10 series cards to come to this device as you stated in your video of what laptops you would buy and not buy in late 2016? Here are my wants in purchasing a new laptop.
-Premium Slim Design
-2 in 1 for tablet mode for Comic Rack Reasons eliminating my out of date tablet
-Mild Gaming such as Indie and free to play games on steam ( smite, dota, path of exile, torchlight etc.)
-Under $1000 USD.
Thanks in advance.
I have the 14 inch version and the fans are terribly loud. It makes no sense.
How do you do that?

Pay attention though, you need to look for either the Kaby Lake or the Skylake values, depending on your model.
i think it is great does everything good laptop. only prob is fan noise is loud.
tirannnus hi, is the noise under load or all the time. What specs is your laptop?
How is the battery life of this laptop? I am planning on buying this for college and will use this for mainly programming and a bit of lightweight gaming.

Acer spin 5($500 model) vs lenovo yoga 710(14 inch $700)vs surface pro 4(i5 $800 model). Which one would come out on top in a smackdown?

When you say no active pen support does that mean no pens at all will work with this display? I was hoping to use it for note taking at college.
btw - the i5 version AND the i7 version are on sale right now at Bestbuy - for quite a bit off....just a fyi.
really liked this model i saw at best buy but bad reviews on their site
Disassembly void warranty? Ideapad 100 core i5 5200 2.2GH contains blue-tip tamper detect screw. Heat dissipation problems limiting life of some new notebooks, we hear.
Thanks for opening the notebooks you review. Lovely machine, but I hate seeing those fans. For me, just notebooks without fans (which are few). You lose a bit on performance, but total silence is golden for me.
Hi Kaby, I just purchase this laptop, I just know that the size is not 15.6 inches compare with my the HP Chromebook 15.6 kind of shorter, Just want to let you know, what do you think?
tmitchable Do you seriously think her name is Kaby Lake? hahaha 😂
Please let me know about the mic you are using for your videos. It looks like wireless clip kind of mini recorder. Please help me with the link if possible. Thanks!
Will you review the new Lenovo Yoga 720 15" any time soon?
Carlos Afonso hi my friend
Nice review (as usual!). But its hard to justify spending more than ~$500 as you can for an Acer Aspire for a basic long battery life functional productivity option to be used in addition to a much more capable/powerful dedicated 1070/1080 power option.
I had this laptop. There is a chronic issue with the display cable, It is broken easily and screen starts to flicker. You can find the details on RUclips. So many people experiencing same issue. My display got broken 3 years later ( You may think not bad) Moreover, mouse pad got broken in 2 year. It doesn't answer clicking and the worst one is speakers got broken in only three months. So overall this laptop look good, however I really don't recommend it.
Its funny, best Buy has a 4k version of this machine for 1100 right now as of writing with 16gb of ram. And its screen looks really good for color quality. Super tempting over more expensive machines that have 4k displays for photography.
What would you rather buy, this one, the Lenovo Yoga 710 or the Asus Zenbook UX330UA
yoga bro
Hi Lisa! Please help! Please post a review for the recently release Lenovo Yoga 720 2017 edition as I need help in making a choice in picking between that or the Hp spectre x360 15 2017 edition as well.
Patrick G Just an amazing machine have mine that is the model in review picked up for 680 open box.Fabulous and no fan noise ever.the headphone jack blows your brains out with top notch sound Dolby surround Get one .This thing rocks.
ercoolee Thanks man! I just got mine a few days back as well. No regrets. basically everything you said haha. However my only concern is somehow it says that my laptop doesn't support Windows Hello so I can't use the fingerprint reader. I don't understand why :( are you having the same problems? is it a software thing?😂
Patrick G it is a flawless fingerprint reader Go online with Lenovo they will help you I had a driver problem with sound and was quickly solved. No need to return .Good luck.! make sure to go into Lenovo settings app and update all driver's It is an automatic process.
ercoolee Thanks so much! I'll update you if ever :)
ercoolee And I just have to say.. I couldn't agree with you more.. the sound is phenomenal 👌👌
Hi Lisa, I was wondering, if you could say anything to how the 710 compares to the 2016 15 inch HP envy 360? Is there anything that sets them apart especially in user experience?
Thanks for the help!
Hi Lisa,
When will the Thinkpad Yoga 370 review be coming out? I'm a big Thinkpad user (10 years now!) and you, by far, give the best and most thorough review for Thinkpads!
Thanks for all your hard work!
Great review .
lisa, in your expeience the lenovo 910 fan make noise ? noise that is loud and insufferable ? and if it's do you think it's count as lenovo mistake and not to buy the laptop ?
sooooo early then notification squad ain't even here yet
Hey Lisa can u please do a video on the best 2 in 1 tablets/pcs for high school. I have looked everyone where but I can't seem to find an informational video about it. Can u please do it with a wide ranch of different prices as that doesn't bother me
I'm watching this video on a Lenovo Yoga 710 15.6 inch.:)
Not sure if I should get the 710 or 720..
vs. the HP Spectre x360 i7 15", which is better? They seem pretty much the same for me.
P.S. I realized that the Spectre has a deal for only $1,100 on Amazon, so..
where did you see it for $450? wanting to buy one but their on amazon for $520 wanting to spend the least amount I have too
There is fan noise after the update also. I have replaced the laptop twice and still both of them got the fan noise. It is not true that it is only available in 1080p versions. I am using the 4k variant
No the bios update fixed the power management issues in all kabby lake devices by Lenovo the 910 , 900, and 710 4k and 710 14" were effected. Just goto your Lenovo Companion and run your scan and it will download the drivers and updates for you so u don't have to search for them on Lenovo's support page.
Kevin g All my drivers are up to date with Lenovo Companion and still thr s issue.
Bennet Mathew Go to your power management tool and turn your cpu power to 99%
Bennet Mathew i7 you can not avoid noise with high processor and 4K resolution yet.Get the I5.
Hi Lisa, i've got a question. I recently purchased this laptop, however i've noticed that only the left fan runs and dissepates heat. The right one never turns on. Can you confirm if i have got a defect fan? or is this someway Lenovo logic? Thanks!
I purchased a Lenovo ideapad FLEX 4 on Black Friday. This Yoga 710 seems very similar. What are the differences?
I have the 710, awesome laptop!
Thanks for the vid, does this do Miracast?
Hey! In Poland you can also buy 14inch version with Nvidia GPU and i5 7th generation, but the price here is 3599 PLN :)
Wait, there's no pencil compatible with this yoga?
Nicolás Cholaky I thought it was pen compatible I was about to buy one.damn
is there a difference between nvidia and the intel graphics adapter? is it worth to pay 200€ more for the nvidia version? i want to use the notebook for school and office things.
I really want to buy lenovo laptop but the keyboard layout made me stay away from it. The directional layout always interfere with right shift key.
Is this laptop still one to consider? Or just shoot for the Lenovo Yoga 910?
got this laptop 4 years ago. 4 years later the battery has completely died. laptop immediately turns off once i unplug it from the charger. the screen turns blank white randomly while i use it. and the track pad constantly gets stuck and i wasn't able to use it for about a week until it randomly started working again. this is after 4 years of everyday use. the battery has lasted quite a while. i think i just need to install a new one (right?) - everything else i don't know how to fix.
I think I'm going to pick one of these up to replace my Surface Pro 3 - The 4th Gen i7 in the Surface Pro 3 isn't really great and it's feeling the strain after a few years. The Surface Laptop has very similar specs to this (just looks nicer) and this should be quite a bit more powerful than my Surface Pro 3 I have now - Probably the cheapest 2-in-1 offering decent specs.
I also looked at the XPS13 with 7th i7 too
i have the yoga 710 4k resolution with 16gb ram
Matjusz Popjusz k
Matjusz Popjusz u still have the 4k version? if u do u do u have any problems with screen gliches? just read lots of reviews with that problem thanx
Matjusz Popjusz Can you give link please
Tiny micro HDMI on a 15.6 inch 4.1lb laptop that isn't particularly thin? Outrageous!
which is a better choice? I can only afford the 14" i7-7500u w10 version with 4gb and 1tb hdd version sold on lazada. can it be upgraded? eg: changing the ram to 8gb/16gb and the rom to ssd
Hey +MobileTechReview please do a review of the gigabyte Aero 14!. Thanks in advance
Could you review the ACER ASPIRE E5-575G-78ZR or the lower tier model ACER ASPIRE E5-575G-559Q? Love your videos by the way
I saw Microcenters's have the version with the i5-7200u for $349 (no dedicated graphics, you can easily upgrade the ram and add an SSD for about $100. If i was willing to go for a heavier laptop with no dedicated graphics (HD 620 is pretty good if you are not a serious gamer). That would be a very good value. www.microcenter.com/product/469303/Aspire_E5-575-5493_156_Laptop_Computer_-_Obsidian_Black
Thanks! But I guess I really need onr with a deticated video card.
And by the way. Could you recommend me a laptop that is light that is as good but for the price of 799$. Perhaps with shared intel 620..
Does this have alot of fan noise? That seems to be a problem with these and am wondering if you see it in yours.
I am watching this on a Lenovo Yoga 710 but it's slow and laggy. I got it at a best buy where they were doing tax-free on laptops and this was open box. It is in pristine condition but I don't know why it's slow.
Bestbuy has this model advertised with a 4K screen.
it is a 4k display
forbes646 that's not what she mentions
East Coast Drones i meant best buy does sell a 4k display model
The right shift problem can be easily solved if laptop manufacturers just put the 4 arrrow keys in a single row like [left][right][up][down]. They seem to have a weird obsession that the up key must be above the down key; no it needs not.
Jeong-hun Sin
I would prefer weird shift key position....
than the weird single row arrow keys....
😅😅😅
its super annoying when the up and down arrow are clustered in such a small space. the awkward right shift key is a much better decision
Jeong-hun Sin Seriously? That is just about the most counterintuitive thing I've ever heard of.
I'm a student and I really need a new laptop, is this a good fit?
I just got it and I don't recommend it, mainly because the keyboard is bad designed, is off center, and backspace and right shift key are not where they're supposed to be. Lenovo realized their mistake and fixed the keyboard on the new models. So instead of getting this one, get the 720 model which has a normal keyboard.
my charger broke the tiny plug in. n I can't find 1 store that sells charger am I fucked?
your wrong about the fps on games I run skyrim se on 768p on high setting getting excellent frame rate. I can run any game on 768p on high settings so I'm not sure where your getting your specs from
Why is your Lenovo 710 15 inch fingerprint scanner? I googled after him but found no one with fingerprint scanner
MotoBrothers it might be a best buy exclusive model. I got mine at best buy and it has a fingerprint scanner. but I haven't seen the same model anywhere else.
Hi, there
Im looking at a laptop for video editing, would the lenovo be a good possibility and run smoothly running adobe creative cloud? MY other option was a 2015 Mac Book pro but it costs nearly twice as much and also has less storage.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
i got a question i have a flickering problem with my screen is there anything that you think is wrong or broken in my computer or any wires disconnected.
Hi lisa,can you tell me which one is better lenovo yoga 710 or hp spectre x360????
So they have EMI shielding over the ram? Interesting.
Is it easy and does it work well for taking some notes with a tactil pen on this computer ?
when will you post a video about the new yoga laptops
