Quote from: jer on November 12, 2023, 20:13:24Where can I find the the calibrated ICC profile for this?
it seems it has been always difficult to find these whenever it is mentioned that there is one that can be downloaded on each laptop reviews.
"Download ICC File (X-Rite i1Pro 2)", it's the red link in bold text in the display section of the review.

I think the laptop has some pitfalls. I'm thinking of returning it right now too.

The thermal throtteling is horrible! But Throttlestop can almost completely fix this (can't fix throtteling on the GPU part, once it gets past 72°C tho).

And now this: My laptop can't sleep with an USB-C hub attached... That is, it sleeps once after attaching it, but every subsequent try to make it sleep, it just wakes up again instantly. Support said: "This product does not support any USB-C hubs or docks, so misbehaviour is to be expected"

Anyone wanna try this on their laptop? I'm really on to point of losing my mind here. Noone else in the whole world is reporting this, but for me it's quite a biggy, as I need to be able to pick up and go from where I left off often...

Hi Guys,

There was a great discount (almost 1100 CAD) on this laptop and I ordered it online. I thought that paying 1500 CAD for a 2 in 1, UHD,  Touchable, 1TB SSD, 16 GB, GTX 1050 4GB is a perfect deal. do you think this amount of discount looks normal or something is wrong with that so they are getting rid of them?

ATTENTION!!!

Anyone who has a problem with throtteling or problems with gaming (low fps)

You have to disable Intelligent Cooling in Lenovo Vantage.

Here is a short tutorial:

step 1: Go into Lenovo Vantage (it should be allready installed)
step 2: click on hardware settings
step 3: scroll down and disable intelligent cooling
step 4: select high performance on the bottom

thats it!

have fun and spread this comment please.

Have a nice day everybody

I have this laptop and i can not play any modern games with it.After 1 minute processor speed drops from 3.5 GHz to 0.6 GHz when playing WOW on medium settings with a frame limit set to 60.
I am having a now long conversation with Lenovo support about this but I don't think much can be done without addressing this issue with a bios update that is not there.
I have no idea how you were able to get those gaming results.

I am attaching my results with MSI Afterburner

How did you guys get the gaming performance in this review? Every person I've seen gets incredible stuttering including me. I just got the laptop and I'm about to return it for the 720 instead because of the stutter. It is literally impossible to play any game. Even at lowest settings games will run at like 15 fps because of the CPU power limit throttling.

Didn't you guys experience heavy throttling during gaming? A read a lot of stories about it on internet. I'm consifering buying this laptop, but this would be a reason not to do so... Maybe its just a problem with a particular batch or something?

I'm having these exact issues, and it totally goes against the data in the review.

I've just received my Yoga 730-15IKB in North America, i7-8550U, 8GB Ram, GTX 1050 4GB, 1080P Screen) and I am getting heavy throttling while gaming, it's so bad the games aren't even playable, Dota 2 and Overwatch on LOW settings.

Are you guys able to comment as to how you got the gaming performance numbers you posted in the review?  I wonder if I've got a lemon or something, or if there is some settings I'm missing.

edit: found a post on the Lenovo forums, with lots of others having the same issue.  Just really would like to know how you guys got the results you did in your review model?

Lenovo US website has frequent major discounts (6 times or so) throughout the year. IIRC in May this model was off 15% which came to about $800 and further more when stacked with corportate discount. Although Thinkpads get the most discount at 35-50%, Ideapad / Yoga 500-900 lines are worth watching as each series has a heavy discount for a select model that alters daily during the sale period.

Was thinking of getting this because on discount it's only $800 for i5 and 1050, which is a bargain next to everything else. But looks like Lenovo downgraded and cut too many corners. What a shame.
where did you find it for $800? i lowest i found was $950 on their site
