Lenovo Yoga 730 13 inch [730-13IWL 81JR001FRU]

Lightweight, neat and sophisticated

True to its name, the Yoga 730 looks like an extremely neat and sophisticated device with a bezel-less design and a thin, lightweight body (1.12 kg). Outwardly, it is similar to last year's version of the Yoga 720-13: a metal case, an inconspicuous Yoga logo in the upper left corner of the lid, and a stylus attached to the right side.

Excellent IPS display

Lenovo Yoga 730 is equipped with a 13-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The screen supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. The reaction speed is quite high, the accuracy of the “hit” also does not cause any complaints, so it is comfortable to control the system without resorting to the stylus.

As for the quality of the matrix, a brightness margin of 310 cd / m2, a contrast ratio of 840: 1 and an almost full sRGB colour gamut indicate that we have a very decent quality display. Of the minor shortcomings, only a small "shortage" in the green region of the spectrum can be distinguished.

Quality speakers from JBL

Working on such a device is pleasant thanks to a high-quality full-size keyboard with an average key travel and full-fledged backlighting. The same applies to the touchpad with high sensitivity and positioning accuracy. Well, the experience of watching movies and listening to music promises to be enjoyable thanks to two high-quality speakers from the famous audio brand JBL.

Latest generation octa-core processor

Inside the laptop is the latest generation Intel Core i5-8265U processor (4 cores, TurboBoost frequency 3.9 GHz), HD Graphics 620 video core, 8 GB DDR 4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Moreover, the amount of memory can be increased by an additional drive format M.2. The performance of the ultrabook is more than enough for the usual tasks that a typical user who is not interested in games — web surfing, video chats, photo processing, etc. can be.

Modern equipment

The equipment of the transformer is modest, but very modern: a pair of USB-C ports with Thunderbolt support and one USB 3.1. As in previous Yoga models, the card reader and HDMI had to be sacrificed for the sake of a thin body (only 13.9 mm).

In terms of battery life, Lenovo Yoga 730 shows excellent results — up to 11.5 hours with minimal loads, and up to 6 – 7 hours when typing and surfing the web with medium brightness settings.
