Normally I don't review products, I read reviews, tons of reviews, then make my purchase. But, this one had no reviews. So, why not be the first to review :D
I picked up my Yoga-720 for school, and already upgraded the OS to "Windows 10 Creators Update, version 1703 (fresh install). Yay!
And, here's why I think this is a good laptop:
And, here's why I think this is a good laptop:
So far, this machine runs really-really well, much faster, and smoother than my laptops with more energy efficient Intel U & M series processors. Not to mention considerably thicker in size, but not as thick as some other power laptops out there, and it was expected from a performance machine like this.
This was my first time playing with "Windows Hello" compatible fingerprint readers since it came out. And, it recognized my finger tapping on every single time, which is like 20/20 acceptance rate, even to the point that made me worry about possible false acceptance issue. But, it didn't recognize my other non-registered fingers, which was a relief. :)
Slim bezels! I love how slim the bezel is! And, unlike XPS 15, Yoga 720's camera is located on the top of the screen, even with this slim bezel!
JBL speakers produced nice and decent sound.
Touchpad worked well, and keyboard was comfortable to type.
It recognized and worked very well with my Dell (DisplayPort over USB Type C) docking station with dual 1080p monitors connected.
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050M 2GB graphics card, and 2in1 is a nice features to have, but I don't think I'll be utilizing them fully. I don't play games, and this is a 15" computer (technically 2in1). Get a gaming desktop/laptop if you want to play high end games.
Reason for only 4 stars:
- There're no 4.5 star option available. BB?
- Maximum of only 16GB of memory (8GB soldered) available. To be fair, 8GB is enough for most average users that run about 10-15 application instances simultaneously.
- No charging capability through its Thunderbolt 3 USB Type C port, if you have USB Type C dock available.
- Fan was a little loud during some app install, but I can live with it.
- No HDMI, and Ethernet ports. You have to carry extra dongle(s) if you use those ports.

I would definitely recommend this computer. I don't think you can find a better price, spec and quality elsewhere. I don't expect the quality would be as good as Thinkpad series, especially Carbon X1 5th GEN, but decent enough for mainstream consumers or slightly crazier computer enthusiasts like me. Perfect alternative for Dell's XPS 15 (9560), but definitely not an "XPS15 killer". If I could justify spending 2000-3000 on a laptop for what I do with them, there are some nice expensive laptops out there. Normally you get what you pay for. But this one was special! It's like love at first sight. I feel like I got more for what I paid for. Happy Friday!

Very decent computer for everyday use.

A very decent processor, plenty of ram (also upgradeable to 16GB, 1x8GB installed), smooth touchscreen. Would've been nice if touchpad gestures were smooth like ones that on macbook pro. Otherwise nothing to complain. Changed the HDD to SSD right away. Now boots up and loads applications almost instantly. Love my new computer! :)

Changing HDD to SSD
November 29, 2014
Mine was Crucial M500 - 240GB. Performance and consistency wise (also price wise) it was a good purchase for me. Also this drive has some interesting enterprise level features such as RAIN parity protection and sudden power-loss handling. For me, that was my main deciding factor. I've been using my laptop on highest brightness settings since this morning on battery (about 3 hrs, mostly on Skype). Now it's finally dying :)
For changing your hdd to ssd, you might need at least 32GB of flash drive (portable HDD won't work unless you're planning to use Windows 8's recovery tool) for creating a recovery media, to re-install your OS, using built-in HP Recovery tool.

backlit keyboard and sound?
on hp website it says this model has backlit keyboard and beats audio.. does it?
Yes and yes. Beats audio actually sounds much better on this model than previous ones. Also a big fan of the backlit keyboard which looks pretty on the silver (color) keyboard buttons.
