Looking for a laptop convertible but performs like a full-blown desktop? Look no more as Lenovo launches the Yoga 720 and Yoga 520 – catering to your entertainment and full power productivity needs.
The latest Yoga convertibles from Lenovo came exactly from laptop buyers. What do I mean by that? The company made the Yoga convertibles based on what the consumer needs in a 2-in-1 laptop.
Starting with the cheapest of them all, the 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 520 packs in an unspecified 7th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU, up to 16GB DDR 4 RAM, maximum storage of 512GB PCIe SSD or 1TB SATA HDD or both at the same time, and a 1080p IPS touchscreen display that is also available in 1366×768 resolution.
Going up another level will be the 13-inch Yoga 720, it’s a full 360-degree convertible for either tablet or laptop mode. It sports the same generation of Intel processor, Intel HD Graphics 620, up to 16GB DDR4 RAM, up to 1TB PCIe SSD, it also features two USB-Type C with Thunderbolt, and either an FHD or 4K display option.
But if you want to go all out for your next convertible, the 15-inch Yoga 720 features the same specs of the 13-inch except for the Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU that will handle all your graphic intensive needs.
All variants come with an optional Lenovo Active Pen 2, a backlit keyboard, JBL Speakers(except for the Harman on the Yoga 520)and a fingerprint scanner via Windows Hello.
Lenovo Yoga 720 start selling in April 2017(Yoga 520 in July 2017) for EMEA regions. For the price, you can check that below together with the full spec sheet.
