Design and display

Both the Lenovo Yoga 920 and the Yoga 720 are manufactured, so that their screen is able to rotate in a 360 degree angle to adapt them to any position. This is achieved thanks to a hinge system, which does not allow the keyboard to be separated from the panel. However, it is something very useful, since it is possible to use them as a laptop or tablet regardless of the day or time, or even place them fully stretched out on a table.

At the design level, the Yoga 920 is covered by an aluminum casing, which gives it an elegant and distinctive touch. The highlight of this convertible is that it is possible to choose models with covers with characterized finishes. We can find one with the logo on the cover of the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, perfect for fans of the Star Wars saga. Other models are covered by Gorilla Glass with very funny wave patterns. Any of them is available in three colors: copper, bronze or platinum.

The Lenovo Yoga 720 has somewhat less restrained measurements than the Yoga 920, that is, it is somewhat thicker. Its exact measurements are 293 x 203.4 x 15.75 compared to the 323 x 223.5 x 13.95 millimeters of the Yoga 920. The material that the company has used for its construction is the same as that of the 920: aluminum, which makes it makes it very elegant at a glance. On the other hand, it can be purchased in different colors: silver, black or dark gray and black.

When it comes to screen size, there aren't too many variations. The Yoga 720 is somewhat smaller: a 13.3-inch touch screen with a Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) or 4k. The Yoga 920 is 13.9 inches, also touch, with the same resolution: Full HD or 4K. In favor of the latter we can say, something that differentiates it from that of the Yoga 720, is that some components have been replaced in order to add a minimum thickness to the panel on the vertical edges (just 5 mm). In this way, it is possible to get more out of the images or when watching any type of video.

Processor and memory

If you want a convertible that performs at its best in all kinds of situations, neither one will let you down. Both are powered by up to 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processors with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB for storage. It is clear that this set will allow you to face all kinds of jobs and tools, working with ease and without any problem when executing several at the same time.

Accessories and safety

To help you write or draw, the Lenovo Yoga 920 includes the Lenovo Active Pen (the Yoga 720 has it as an option). This stylus is capable of detecting 4,096 degrees of pressure. So it will be possible to make more precise strokes and at a higher speed. The firm has also included palm rejection technology. What does this mean? Basically, it will be possible to enjoy a more natural experience when writing, as if we were doing it with a pen on paper. Another advantage of this pen is that it is possible to use Windows Ink (available on the taskbar). With this function we can capture quick ideas or give a new format to the notes to later send them to other devices.

The security of these convertibles is also guaranteed with the integrated fingerprint reader and the Windows Hello function. This will allow you to forget about entering your password every time you go to log in, or making payments when you buy something online. Just by putting your finger on the sensor, you can start the session or pay safely. Keep in mind that your personal information will never leave the computer, since this system has three layers of security.

Connections and autonomy

When it comes to using a laptop, we all want to enjoy a wide array of connectivity options. Lenovo convertibles are not far behind in this regard and perfectly meet this premise. For example, the Yoga 720 includes a USB Type-C port and an always-on USB for charging. There is also a 2 x 2 WiFi 802.11 ac and Bluetooth 4.1 connection, as well as a headphone port. When it comes to sound, the Yoga 720 will not leave you indifferent thanks to the Harman speakers with Dolby audio technology. This means that there will be no problem when listening to our favorite music through services such as Deezer, Tidal or Spotify, movies or series.

The Yoga 920 is not far behind in this section and offers a good set of connections. It has Bluetooth 4.1, 2 USB Type-C ports, USB 3.0 (constant charging), 3.5 mm jack headphone output, plus Dolby Atmos sound. Another advantage is that thanks to Constant Connect, the convertible can continue downloading emails, receiving Skype calls or playing music even when in standby mode. Logically, for this you will have to have a WiFi connection.

On the battery of the convertibles, Lenovo maintains that its autonomy is capable of lasting between 8 and 10 hours. Logically, this time is always somewhat lower than that given by the manufacturers. Likewise , everything will also depend on the use that is given or the configuration that we have established. However, it should be mentioned that they have fast charging, so if we are in a hurry we can use this system to charge them in half in a few minutes.
