Guys what’re your thoughts on the Yoga 720? Getting it for uni!

Final conclusion,
Great value for money laptop, nice built and light.
Rather hot AMD APU compared to my old Celeron

Let down by stupid imaging techs who did not install best driver set released by AMD and the crappy McAfee
That is why PC getting a bad name not to mention stupid users who do not know hardware drivers set and blame the hardware.

Recommend to reformat and install AMD Drivers with basic service set

Nvm. In future can upgrade from HDD to SSD, it's help a lot load speed.

I got the unit.
It is plastic but it is the strong/tough type better than Ideapads.
Matt BOE LED Display Panel is great
Good buy, speaker positioning away from heatsink, will not suffer damage from heat.
Thermal dissipation not that ideal, heatpipe is quite long away from thermalsink.
Thermal Sink unit is made by AVC very quiet.
Lighter than expected compared to ideapad model
Synaptics Touchpad
Conaxant Audio
Qualcomm Atheros Wireless QCA9377 1 Stream Wireless not so good can be upgraded to a QCA 2 Stream Wireless AC using FRUs

Default Imaging sucks especially McAfee crap.
Slow initially because the imaging is not well done plus I am cheapskate so I got the 5400rpm HDD Western Digital 1TB
Just 1 stupid package installs 15 services inside
Will reformat the crap out of it.

You just need to download AMD chipset driver, go device manager and point and upgrade the driver to AMD SATA.
Then you can get your sustain I/O performance of > 100MB/s even on normal HDD.
When the driver sucks even if you put in SSD, I/O performance will still be nerfed by the wrong driver.
A lot of people don't understand that in computer performance is always limited by the weakest link.
You can either believe that branding is the cause of the slow performance or troubleshoot components and fix the weakest link.
Default image also missing AMD Radeon Driver utility recommend reformat and install drivers straight from AMD website
