Lenovo's Yoga 720 is a mild update to a mild convertible

The Yoga 700-series was never ground-breaking, but it offered decent specs for a decent price.

While the 900-series Yoga convertible laptops might steal all of the thunder, the 700-series is making waves its own — especially with the new Yoga 720.

The Yoga 720 goes for thin and light, offering a 12.5-inch display in a 15.75mm-thick convertible laptop form factor that weighs just 1.15kg. Considering that similarly-sized laptops were recently announced that weigh barely less, that's quite the feat for a convertible — especially in the Yoga 720's price range.

The Yoga 720 is set to start at $649, and to bring the price down some sacrifices had to be made. For one, the signature watchband hinge of the 900 series didn't make it down here, instead Lenovo has opted for a more traditional 360° convertible hinges at each corner. They're still more than adequate, easily and solidly transitioning between laptop, stand, tent, and tablet modes.
