A Look At The Lenovo Yoga 710 11inch Convertible Laptop

Stephs Cheers and Jeers was provided the samples mentioned in this post in return for an unbiased review.

I have been on the hunt for a laptop for a few months now, I really needed something versatile especially because my chronic pain is getting worse, I wanted something that was lightweight and that I could use to blog on the go and from bed when my pain is really bad. I had visited a few stores to look at Laptops in person but none of them really lived up to what I was looking for but then I came across The Lenovo Yoga 710 11inch Convertible Laptop and it was everything I was looking for!

The Lenovo Yoga 710 11inch Convertible Laptop is one of the lightest convertible laptops on the market(it weighs in at .35 lbs and is only 0.58” thin) and features a magnesium and aluminum blended chassis for enhanced durability. This was SUPER important to me because I have gone through DOZENS of laptops in the last 10 years because I always have an issue with the hinges breaking. The battery life allows for up to 8 hours on a single charge which means I can easily blog on the go between doctors appointments and not have to worry about bringing the charger.

This laptop also features a built-in Intel® Core™ m processor which keeps the laptop cool without a fan, that was really interesting to me because my older laptop from a competitor brand has a REALLY loud fan and it drives me INSANE. The laptop came with Window’s 10 installed and I LOVE the LED 10-point multitouch display. However, my favorite feature is the fact that this laptop is convertible! You can convert the table into four different styles which include Laptop, Stand, Tent, or Tablet. I seriously LOVE the fact that it can be a laptop when I want it to or a tablet with a single motion. The secret to this is Yoga 710’s unique hinge and a touchscreen display which allows the screen to flip around 360 degrees, by flipping the screen you can easily switch between laptop and tablet mode.

Overall I am very impressed with the Lenovo Yoga 710 11inch Convertible Laptop, the only complaint I have is the keyboard is different from other laptops I have used so it took some getting use to. This laptop, however, makes blogging easier because of its versatility, I have no issues switching it from laptop to tablet mode and in fact, it comes in handy sometimes. I expected the Lenovo Yoga 710 11inch Convertible Laptop to work more like a tablet but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it works more like a computer and even in tablet mode features components that are common with computers.
