||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this product for my personal use and is delighted with it. Battery life and speed is great. The only challenge I have is that when I use it in tablet mode it keeps going to the desktop display. All in all I am pleased with my purchase!!!

Posted .Thank you for choosing the lenovo Yoga 720-12. The issue you mention about the screen orientation changing from tablet to desktop when you are in tablet mode, may be corrected by updating the BIOS and drivers on the computer. This can be done easily by using the Lenovo Utility software installed on your computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.

Compact & Functional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re some one who wants a fast & lightweight laptop to use on the go, this laptop is for you. I love that it is so sleek and compact. I have used 15’ ,14’ and 10” laptops before but I think this so far been my best device. There are a few downside to the laptop though - it has only one USB type B port and one USB type C port (which isn’t really common yet). It also does not have a HDMI port so if you’re someone needs all them ports, this isn’t for you. Depending on how much workload you regularly carry out, you would occasionally hear the fan. But not to worry, it’s a very low buzzing sound that sometimes goes unnoticed. All in all, I think this a great laptop. I chose its compactness and speed over memory size and port extensions.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 720-12. If you need to attach an external HDMI device like a monitor, there is a USB-c port that carries a video signal, so with a USB-c to HDMI adapter you would be able to attach an HDMI external monitor to this device.

Lenovo-Yoga 720
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, pleased with the laptop. Was looking for something small, light and thin and it fit the bill. Questioned whether or not the processor speed and RAM would be sufficient and it is for what I needed it to do. However, I encountered a quirk out of the box that was frustrating. Apparently, the touchpad shuts down once it goes to sleep or the lid is closed...the touchscreen still works, but the touchpad does not. After reading some message boards found out that it might be necessary to update the BIOS and the touchpad drivers through the Lenovo app on the screen to correct the problem. I was hesitant to do so fearing I might mess something up but after doing this it corrected the problem immediately. Oddly enough, ran into a friend who had purchased a similar Lenovo Yoga laptop and they were complaining about the same problem and almost took it back to the store, but once I directed them how to correct it solved the problem as well. I did not expect this problem out of the box and wondered why it would be shipped with outdated drivers and BIOS. In the end, all is well and the laptop functions as it should.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga 720-12. The reason for updates being needed for a new device is that Microsoft released updates for Windows 10 after the factory install of the operating system on this device.

Great choice for an easy to take computer/tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for an option for the times I wanted to take a computer with me but didn't need/want my 17" gaming computer. This 12" Lenovo Yoga fits the bill. Light weight with enough computing power to check email, shop, research current events ,update spreadsheets or visit on facebook. The 128 gb ssd may be a little small for for my long term needs but upgrading to 256 or 500 gb ssd is a possibility. I ordered an active pen since it was not included and look forward to exploring the WRITEit program.

Still a good laptop
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop as a portable alternative to my 17" Hp while I was riding my bike to school. It been a great computer, there was an issue with the lenovo software for a ehile where the touch screen feature didn't work but that seems to be resolved now and hasn't been an issue for almost a year. Its fast easy to use and still going strong almost three years later.

Exceeds expectation for the Affordable Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the GS certified excellent condition Lenovo 720 for a little less than 400 and I would say this exceeds my expectation for the price. It's i3 processor makes it reliable plus the SSD storage makes it blazingly fast. I love how sexy thin and light this notebook, too! The hinge is sturdy enough to hold the laptops in tent mode or any other modes. This laptop suits my personal needs and is a great upgrade from my previous Xiaomi laptop. The downside is that you cannot expect this to work smoothly out of the box. You have to update the essential softwares like Lenovo Vantage, drivers and windows system as a jumpstart or else you will get problems like screen flickering and unreliable fingerprint sensor. You have to get used to the clicky touchpad also. The included wall charger has a cable that is a bit flimsy so might as well be extra careful handling it. Overall I see this purchase as a great value for money.

Perfect for students
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a Black Friday purchase because my old laptop was starting to slow down, and i will be going into a master's program after May. This laptop is very lightweight, so it's great to carry around between classes and anywhere else I need to go. It is very fast to start up and simple things like the fingerprint sensor, touch screen, and flexibility have been great conveniences for me as a student to do work on, as well as using it for personal use such as netflix. The screen on this is very clear and the battery power will last me the whole day without having a plug in, a very important factor to me. It is pretty small which makes it good for travel, but not so small it's an inconvenience to type on or read from. Especially for the price, this laptop is a great investment for students.

Great Lightweight Laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my daughter a Yoga a couple of years ago and she loves it. I was looking for a lightweight machine and this one comes in at only about two pounds. Don't let the size fool you, it's a full-featured machine. It's fast, despite having only 4 gb of memory, not upgradable. The small-ish 128 gb SSD is also not a problem, because I keep most of my work in the cloud. When it's time to relax, it's nice to use its tent configuration to watch a movie and the tablet configuration lets you use it as a, well, tablet. All-in-all well worth the price and even more.

Q: QuestionIs anyone else having problems with the touchpad? My pointer has disappeared three times now and the only way to get it back is to restart windows. Very inconvenient since everything you were working on closes. If Lenovo support team reads this, help!
Asked by Mike.
- A:Answer I'm having the same issue, I'm resetting and restarting everything fresh to see if that helps otherwise I have to take it to geek squad and see if they can figure it out otherwise I'm screwed and have to send it back, sucks cause they aren't on sale anymore so getting a different one is goiing to cost me more money than I spent.

Q: QuestionThere are two answers regarding upgrading RAM. 1 is yes and the other is no. Which one is it? Is the RAM expandable past the current 4GB?
Asked by DudeinNJ.
- A:Answer There are multiple people asking this same question. The reason you are seeing two different answers is that both answers apply. The "No its not upgradable" answer is if you want to upgrade the RAM yourself without voiding the warranty. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard and any attempt to upgrade this yourself will void your warranty, hence the answer that No, its not upgradable. It sounds like any attempt to take the case apart for upgrades will void the factory warranty. The other answer that you see is "Yes, upgradable by qualified professional" which refers to you taking the computer to presumably Geek Squad/Best Buy and paying them to take the computer apart and perform the upgrade, hence the answer that Yes, it is upgradable. Therefore both answers could be correct.

Q: QuestionJust got this for Christmas. Everything has been horribly slow, and I've ruled out internet service and router. Updating took all night before first use, even MS Solitaire is slow! Is it bc of 4GB RAM? Anyone else have issues with this being very slow?
Asked by Rainman.
- A:Answer This system should provide good speed with its Core I-3 processor and 4GB of RAM. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. You mention MS Solitaire as running slow, if you installed this program, be sure the version you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Earlier versions are not. Installing older versions will slow the system down. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. Finally, if you need further help, please call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
