The Lenovo Yoga 730 15 is a premium class 15.6-inch convertible 2-in-1 notebook. Its stand-out features are the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 4GB video card and optional active pen with pressure sensitivity. These features are rarely seen on 2-in-1 hybrids.

The 4.2-pound convertible includes a generous 51 WHr battery, claimed to provide “up to 11 hours” of battery life.
