Lenovo Yoga 730 Sd Card Slot?

How big is the Lenovo Yoga 730?

Active Pen Support – The Yoga 730 sports a 13.3-inch full HD (1,920-by-1,080) touch-enabled display. You can use your fingers to tap it, or employ the $39.99 Lenovo Active Pen, an optional accessory that affords more precise control when you’re sketching on the screen or taking notes.

The display is glossy and uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, which means an excellent contrast and wide viewing angles. Unfortunately, it also means lots of glare from ambient lights, though you can mitigate that somewhat by setting the brightness level to maximum. Thanks to a 720p webcam centered above the display, video conferencing quality is excellent, even in a room with lots of shadows.

The video feed is noticeably less grainy than what you can expect from VGA webcams, although still images are of unsurprisingly poor quality. Screen bounce is noticeable when you’re tapping the screen while in Laptop mode, but that problem goes away once you flip the screen over to use the Yoga 730 as a tablet. The typing experience is wonderful, with sturdy key switches and two levels of backlighting. The touchpad is also excellent for a Windows laptop, with a large, sturdy surface. Even the fingerprint reader is a joy to use; it never struggled to recognize my print over several days of testing.

Thanks to the Yoga 730’s far-field microphone, you can summon Microsoft’s virtual assistant by saying “Hey, Cortana” even when you’re as far as 13 feet away from it. I tested it from a distance of about 10 feet, and Cortana did in fact respond each time. I don’t recommend using this feature, though, because to get the most out of it you’ll want to set the PC to never sleep so Cortana is always ready, which will drain the battery.

Even worse, Cortana is a distant third place to Apple’s Siri and the Google Assistant when it comes to usefulness, and the Yoga 730’s speakers aren’t loud enough for Cortana to be heard if more than two people are talking in the room at the same time.

How much does the Lenovo Yoga 720 cost?

More power to you – The 13.3-inch Yoga 730 (it’s also available in a 15.6-inch size ) I tested was just a step above the base configuration with a 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB of memory, integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics and a 256GB PCIe SSD for storage.

You can get the system with more memory and storage, and if you’re willing to pay $1,550, you can get it with a 1.8GHz Core i7-8550U, 16GB of memory and a 512TB PCIe SSD. There are currently no 4K UHD-resolution screen or 1TB PCIe SSD options, which were offered on the Yoga 720. The configuration I tested is more than enough for day-to-day tasks, though depending on how much you push it, you will end up with some fan noise.

Want to listen to music while you answer some email and post to Facebook? This will have you covered. However, Playing the latest first-person shooter on ultra settings and editing high-resolution video are not in the cards. That said, it made quick work of some basic photo and video edits.

As for battery life, it underperformed compared to similarly configured systems we’ve tested with our video-streaming battery drain test. It did run for 8 hours and 21 minutes, which isn’t bad, but it is 25 minutes less than what we got with the Yoga 720. Under normal use you’re probably not going to get through a full day without hooking up to your power supply or a USB-C power bank.

The positive here it has a quick-charge feature that gets you two hours of battery life with only a 15-minute charge.

Is the Yoga 730 the same as the Yoga 720?

More and less – Basically, everything that made the 13.3-inch Yoga 720 an excellent two-in-one is still present in the 730, albeit in a slimmer, lighter package at 2.7 pounds (1.2kg) and 0.55-inch (14.1mm) thick. The iron gray metal chassis gives it a premium look and feel as do the slim bezels around the full-HD-resolution touchscreen.

1. The screen’s hefty 360-degree hinges keep the Yoga in just about any position you could want it in.
2. They’re stiff enough that it will require two hands to open it, but not so much that you’ll have problems adjusting it.
3. The display has good color performance, but not good enough to recommend for critical photo and video editing (though this isn’t designed for that in the first place).

It gets adequately bright for outdoor use, though with the glossy coating you might still struggle. One nice extra, though: The display also supports Lenovo’s optional $60 Active Pen 2 if writing or drawing on the screen is a necessity for you. Lenovo’s Active Pen 2 works well on the Yoga 730 with little to no discernable lag. Sarah Tew/CNET The keyboard might not feel as firm as one of the company’s professional ThinkPad models, but the keys still have a fair amount of travel to make typing comfortable, and they are well spaced, clearly labeled and brightly backlit.

The Windows Precision touchpad works really well and I didn’t experience any cursor jumpiness. The precision pad means you get full multitouch gesture support for three- and four-finger gestures for quickly switching between applications, activating Cortana (Microsoft’s digital assistant), or hiding all open windows.

Speaking of Cortana, Lenovo added far-field mics so you can use Cortana from up to 13 feet (4 meters) away. Lenovo intends to add Amazon’s Alexa services, too, assuming the integration into Windows 10 ever pans out. Like many ultraportables, the Yoga 730 isn’t loaded down with ports.

Does the Yoga 730 have an ethernet jack?

Replace Your Laptop and Tablet – The 2-in-1 laptop is a flawed but potentially very efficient piece of tech. On the one hand, it’s typically a bit heavier and thicker than an equivalent conventional laptop, since it needs to fit a sturdier and more complicated hinge that enables the screen to rotate through 360 degrees.

Ironically, that added weight and girth are at their most cumbersome when you’re using the device in Tablet mode (with the keyboard folded back behind the display), which is the entire point of the more complicated hinge in the first place. On the other hand, the ability to use it as both a laptop and a tablet means that you only have to bring along a single device on your next business trip, commute, or vacation instead of two.

Couple that with innovations such as Lenovo’s unique watchband-style hinge that’s both strong and light, and it’s an enticing solution, with manufacturers shifting their efforts to convertible laptops as sales of slate tablets struggle, according to IDC (Opens in a new window),

1. The watchband hinge is reserved for more premium models like the Lenovo Yoga 920 ($999.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), however.
2. The Yoga 700-series has to make do with two conventional, slightly bulkier hinges.
3. But that doesn’t mean it’s heavy.
4. Our Yoga 730 ($749.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) review unit weighs just 2.73 pounds and measures 0.55 by 12.1 by 8.5 inches (HWD), dimensions that are on the thin and light side even for conventional 13-inch laptops.

They’re also a tiny bit better than the Yoga 720’s weight (2.83 pounds) and size (0.6 by 12.2 by 8.4 inches). Did Lenovo set a goal of trivial weight and bulk reductions just to entice people to upgrade? Maybe, but the fact remains that any weight and size improvement will make the Yoga 730 more enjoyable than its predecessor to use as a tablet. There are a few visual changes that help you tell the two convertible laptops apart. The ports have been centered in the middle of the left and right edges, instead of hugging the bottom of each edge as they did on the Yoga 720 ($849.99 at Lenovo) (Opens in a new window),

• Otherwise, the port selection is identical.
• There are two USB-C ports on the left edge, each with Thunderbolt support, as well as a headphone jack.
• One of the USB-C ports is used to charge the laptop, a process that took a little longer than an hour from a 5 percent charge to a 100 percent charge in my testing.

Including two Thunderbolt 3 ports on a laptop that costs less than $1,000 is generous, and it shows that adoption of this new 40GBps interface is marching forward. But most keyboards, mice, and other peripherals still use USB Type A ports, so it’s nice that Lenovo includes one of these on the right edge, which supports USB 3.0 speeds.

The left edge also includes the power button, which has a futuristic backlight that glows amber when the battery is charging and white when it’s not. Alas, Lenovo apparently ran out of room to include an SD card slot. Also absent on the Yoga 730 (and many other ultra-thin laptops) is any dedicated video output, such as HDMI.

You’ll need to buy a USB-C-to-DisplayPort adapter if you want to connect an external monitor. You won’t find an Ethernet jack, either, but you do have 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 at your disposal for wireless connections to peripherals and the internet.
