Lenovo’s Yoga 730 is a convertible laptop with Alexa on board

2-in-1 fun

Being barely more flexible than a collection of steel pipes, we’ve had to rule ourselves ourselves out of real yoga. But it’s fine: we can just live vicariously through our laptops! The Yoga 730 is the latest in Lenovo’s line of 2-in-1 laptops, meaning it has a 360 hinge that allows you to flip it into stand, tent and tablet modes when the traditional keyboard setup just won’t do. A slightly redesigned hinge is supposed to make the latter more comfortable. The 730 comes in either 13 or 15in variants, with either a 1080p or 4K touchscreen, and both can be spec’d to your liking. Optional Nvidia GeForce 1050 graphics are reserved for the big version, though. The other notable addition is built-in Alexa support. The Yoga 730 features far-field microphones that should allow you to yell instructions from across the room, whether you opt for Amazon’s assistant or Cortana. With prices starting at $879 and $899 for the 13in and 15in versions respectively, the Yoga 730 is looking like a solid option for those reluctant to cross the £1,000 mark.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Harry Kane is never going to leave Spurs.
