In the past year, there have been a lot of convertible laptops with skinny screen bezels. Combined with the edge-to-edge lass, this makes these laptops look good and also gives a larger screen on a small body. But looking at the Lenovo Yoga 720, you might be forgiven for not thinking so highly of the MacBook Air any more. Both devices look about the same.
Looking at the Lenovo Yoga 720, you might be forgiven for not thinking so highly of the MacBook Air any more. Both devices look about the same. However, the Lenovo Yoga 720 boasts of a full-HD IPS touchscreen, with edge-to-edge lass and a minimal bezel. Also, the screen rotates to the back, as the Yoga 729 doubles as a tablet. Plus, the device is pen-enabled, so you can also write and draw on the screen, all for $100 less than the MacBook Air.
The Yoga 720 has a good colour performance. However, it is not quite good enough for critical photo and video editing. But this does not mean you cannot do these things on the device, though. The screen reaches a suitable brightness level for outdoor use, and t supports Active Pen. Also, the hinges on the screen adjust to keep the device in any position you want.
The keyboard is not as firm as Lenovo’s ThinkPad models. However, the keys still have a fair amount of travel to make typing comfortable. Lenovo used a Windows Precision touchpad, which works really well. This means that you get full multitouch gesture support for three-and-four-finger gestures for quickly switching between applications, activating Cortana or hiding all open windows.
Now, the Lenovo Yoga 720 does not have so many ports. It has one USB 3.0 Type-A pot, two USB 3.1 Type-C pots and a headphone/mic jack. One of the USB Type-C ports is used for charging and supports Thunderbolt 3, so with a dock or adapters you can add video outputs, an Ethernet jack and more.
The Lenovo Yoga 720 has a base configuration of 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7200U, 8 GB of memory, and a 256GB PCle SSD for storage. You can also get the system with more memory and storage. But this base configuration is good enough for day-to-day tasks. Reports say that the Yoga 720 battery runs for up to 8 hours and 46 minutes. This is not bad, just not particularly great.
All in all, one could certainly say that the Lenovo Yoga 720 is a great 2-in-1 device. It has a premium look and feel, but lacks the huge price tag. This device would be great for students or the home office, where some extra flexibility comes in handy and a nice design is appreciated.

Audi is one of the foremost automobile manufacturers today. Here are some interesting facts about the company that you should know:
HORCH MEANS HEAR, HEAR MEANS AUDI
August Horch founded his first car company, A. Horch & Cie.in 1899. But just 10 years later, Horch had a disagreement with his Chief Financial officer, and left his own company to start August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. Unfortunately, Horch soon learned that the Horch name belonged to his former company when he was notified of a copyright infringement. In response, Horch changed his new company’s name to the Latin translation of his last name. In German, Horch means “hear”, which in Latin is “audi”.
HORCH WORKED UNDER KARL BENZ
August Horch, the founder of Audi, was a young German engineer who started out as a blacksmith. After receiving his degree in engineering, he worked in shipbuilding before working under Karl Benz, founder of Mercedes-Benz car manufacturing company. Horch worked under Benz for 3 years before starting his own venture.
FOUR RINGS LOGO
Four companies make up the Audi Company. The four rings on the company logo each represent one of the companies. DKW, Horsch and Wanderer are the three other companies of the group, which was also known as the Auto Union.
FIRST GERMAN LEFT-HAND DRIVE CAR
In September 1921, Audi released the Type K, which was the first production left-hand drive car by a German manufacturer. Consequently, left-hand driving increased in popularity.
FIRST TO CARRY OUT CRASH TESTS
Audi was the first company to carry out crash tests. In 1938, the company performed some crash tests in order to figure out how the car would react in case of an accident. Thus, the company set a precedent that is still being followed to this day.
OLYMPICS SUED AUDI BECAUSE OF THE RINGS DESIGN
The International Olympic Committee sued Audi in 1995 over trademark infringement, due to the similarity of the four-ring Audi logo and the Olympic Games logo. The Olympic Committee lost the case.
PRODUCED THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD IN 1938
Mercedes and Audi have always been in rivalry, both on and off the track. In 1938, just before World War 2, the Auto Union took the help of Ferdinand Porsche to design the fastest tack car. The alliance came up with a 560 horsepower producing V16 beast, called the Auto Union Type C. thanks to the rear-mounted engine and enhanced handling, the Type C clocked 430 kmph on the Autobahn.
