I could not find if, with help of a docking station, I could connect two external monitors to this laptop

Thanks Saeed

Yes, it is possible to connect two monitors. I do it using a Dell WD19TB dock. In addition, the dock also powers the computer, all through the thunderbolt usb port.

Suddenly had a crack in the screen with normal use. Very disappointed. Repairing is more expensive then buying a new system.

Can someone please help me, will this run overwatch well at lowest settings?

There is unfortunately some panel lottery going on with the Yoga 720 13" FHD.  This Notebookcheck review got a LG display with no PWM.  However the unit that I just bought, built in June 2017, has a BOE06FA display that has PWM at all brightness levels other than 100%.  I am able to catch the flickering with my iPhone, so it may be a low PWM rate also.

From the programmer point of view, this notebook has some additional annoying features:

Arrow keys - these should be a full-sized keys, and this is a serious flow. Any programmer uses these keys a lot. I'd rather see a half-width right shift button. Placement of other keys is also strange for me, but I guess, that I'm just used to Polish/Programmers key layout. And that's why, I went for Yoga 260.

Besides, Lenovo should make up their mind about placement of "Fn" and "Ctrl" buttons. But thats just complaining, I know.

Left air vent - since I'm used to Yoga X1, I know, that I have a tendency to cover it with my hand while in tablet mode. And that's semi serious, I guess - there's still another one after all... ;-p
Consider where you put your hand, while in tablet mode during next review please.

Another big thing - too much firmware! I like some of the lenovo apps, but these should be OPTIONAL. By saying that, I mean, ask the user upon first boot, whether he wants them, or not.

Still waiting for the review of the 15" Yoga 720...

Hi!

I was just wondering if the battery is really non replacable... you stated this in your review then put a photo with this legend : "the 48 wh battery removed from the baseplate."

If you can remove it why is it not replacable ?

Thanks

Dual-core CPU + 13.3" Full HD screen + a tiny 48 Whr battery, lately seems to be a running theme for a lot of budget laptops. I personally bought the Yoga 720 for my young nephew in need of a new laptop for his school

Upon opening, wiped the storage, installed Win10-x64 and undervolted, before testing the battery life. 250 nits, windows' battery saver always on, all privacy settings disabled, most background programs and services manually disabled, advanced power settings all tweaked and CPU slightly underclocked, Wi-Fi AC and bluetooth on, 64-bit Google Chrome browser 20+ tabs, streaming 2 1080p content, speakers blazing at max volume.

Unfortunately this laptop only managed a disappointing a 4.5 hours, and consistently achieved around 5 hours for the next 5 days, before having returned it along with 3 other budget 13" laptops I'd considered (all from different ODMs). Only the Asus Zenbook UX360UA with the biggest battery, and somehow the lowest power draw, could last 8 hours in my test and 9 hours of regular usage, hence I gave to my nephew. It's worth mentioning that the Zenbook was also the cheapest out of all 5 without any applied discounts.

It seems like a decent laptop, with the inclusion of TB3 and PCIe SSD unlike the Zenbook, but very few people actually need those. More essential aspects however, such as incredible lack of battery life, practically unusable speakers, lack of USB 3 type-A ports, and frequently loud fans were deal breakers. Though I didn't experience any low multi-core performance on my unit.

Nice review, but just a little mistake in there, you mentioned that  Only one of the two usb-c ports can be used for charging the device, while actually both are capable of doing so. Other than that, very accurate review, i just have to add that fans are quite annoying since they just enter randomly at top speed, and then are turned off after a few seconds, even when just browsing on the internet.

Great to see the reviewe of Yoga 720 from you guys! Nice reading. And I would love to see your opinion on 15 inch models aswell.
Also it would be much appretiated if you could also confirm for this, or even for the future 15 inch review, that the TB3 port is using only 2x lanes for data transfer and connection to externad GPU, and not full 4x.

Hey, I'm thinking of buying this thingie, but I'd like to know something: does anybody know what the cause of the sub-par multicore performance is? Or rather; does anybody know whether it a hardware or software issue is? :p

Great review.  Not sure why you didn't review the i7 version to match up against the HP Spectre x360, as it seems like this would be it's closest rival.

Nevertheless, like everybody else says, please review the 15 in. version soon, with the 4K display, if possible, please.  Thanks!
