Now I want a laptop? In the limited funds, the result is bound to be a trade-off after, but I hope it has a good look, enough performance general office use, the best endurance performance is good, better screen effect, volume is relatively light weight and other highlights Function . So I also above these expectations of performance, to actually test the next LG Display IPS hard screen version of the Lenovo YOGA 710 14IKB Ultrabook.
Exterior
The YOGA series is now considered the head of the Lenovo family. It is impressive not only for its lightweight design orientation, but also for the almost 360-degree screen.
The YOGA 710 (hereinafter referred to as 710) also retains similar functions and design positions as much as possible.
The version I got was metal grey black, and the silvery version will be more calm and solemn (you can also understand it as boring), and the 710 is not too complicated for the YOGA series compared to the entry model. It is simply Plain metal, the entire notebook in addition to the B side of the mirror screen, the other surface is a metal surface, C surface in order to highlight the metal texture also conducted CNC cutting high-angle chamfer, with the same generation of "small new" series similar.
Why PCs are used to stick a bunch of stickers.
Like a Macbook, the air outlet at the shaft
360° flip shaft, there is no hinge hinge like high-end models, but does not hinder its practicality, but also one of the secrets of the YOGA series of unique martial arts
The IO interface is distributed on both the left and right sides. It is probably unreasonable that the two USB 3.0 ports are on the same side (cost savings), and sometimes it is inconvenient. There are SD card slots, but the odd video output port is mini HDMI, quite rare, the general company may have mini DP to other adapters, miniHDMI really quite see. In addition, at the pinhole, the automatic system of Lenovo's home is still restored, which may be quite useful to ordinary people.
Power supply, PC's failure, do not understand that PC manufacturers are reluctant to work on the design of notebook power, the Macbook's external power supply is really designed to be perfect.
B
Although the 710 is a 14-inch screen, but thanks to the relatively narrow LG Display IPS hard screen frame (for the main gold power implant ), so the overall measurement is similar to the traditional 13-inch notebook. The weight of the whole machine is 1.7kg. Although it is not the best, it is also absolutely thin.
Really, this screen of the 710 is really narrow enough, although the XPS13 has a feeling of almost no borders, this 710 actually feels the use of the border is not too much to let (the individual also has a XPS13)
performance
Configured as the CPU for Intel's sixth-generation Core i5-6200U, NVIDIA Geforce940M 2G alone significant, 4G memory, 256 SSD, you can see the main tasteless in the 940m alone significantly (feel not as direct with the set show) with 4G memory. Because the CPU is a low-voltage version, the main power consumption ratio, so the performance is expected not too tough,
R11.5, CPU's computing power is relatively weak, even worse than the desktop version of the G3258
The performance of the built-in SSD is quite good. The mainstream level, including the write speed, is normal. Except for the capacity 240, there is almost no need for upgrading.
The 4G memory capacity is really too small. It is recommended that you either buy the 8G memory version at first, or buy it yourself for 8G or even 16G memory.
Lifetime
What is life? PCMARK8's home mode test basically validates my actual experience. If it is completely put to use, the battery life can only be considered as average, about 4 hours. If you want to improve the actual battery life, you must optimize it properly (such as Display brightness, etc.)
Noise and temperature
Low-voltage U is a double-edged sword, although the performance is ordinary, but it does a good thermal control, in the entire process of their own almost no feeling 710 when the heat control is not good, the main will not be hot or local heating, and the fan is also Almost rarely full speed operation. The actual test is basically the same, in the state of roast chicken, the maximum noise of about 55 decibels (ambient noise 4x decibels), the whole hottest local temperature is probably 4x, for the thin and light notebook is good
Screen effect
Is also the focus of this test, in fact, their own Lenovo home books used a lot, feel some time ago, Lenovo Province, where the province should not be, such as the screen, although the naked eye feels acceptable, but the screen is often used as a general gamut Screen. The positioning of more mainstream entry-level 710 this time actually used LG Display's IPS hard screen, people are quite surprised, after all, we all know, MAC series hard screen basically use LG Display home screen. So individuals are also particularly looking forward to the performance of 710.
The 710 screen color of the naked eye is indeed a lot more beautiful than other low-end TN screens. On the one hand, the color gamut of the screen itself is relatively wide. On the other hand, the IPS mirror hard screen makes the screen look better on the hardware texture. Point (although with reflections and other issues), individuals have always been one of the proponents of glossy screens.
Through the color correction of Spider 4, 710 LG Display IPS hard screen can still be optimized a lot, mainly the original partial blue hair will be more rosy.
What is the screen quality?
From the perspective of view, since it is an IPS hard screen, the viewing angle is certainly good.
The spider 4 test inside this screen does have a good quality, sRGB color gamut has reached 99%, other such as tone response, screen uniformity performance is good, color accuracy is also very good (blue side), so the final test The result is also a comprehensive performance of 4.5 (up to 5)
Exposure for about 2 seconds with slight light leakage at the edge of the screen
The uniformity of solid color is also relatively good, compared with TN screen a lot better. Color reproduction and uniformity are very good
The actual screen shot effect (Moire is due to the camera shooting, the actual eye does not have)
Highlights
Backlit keyboard, an excellent notebook comes standard. The keyboard operator feels good, the touchpad is almost a bit of a pity, pc notebooks are reluctant to enhance the positioning accuracy and speed of the next touchpad.
Screen flip mode, with the matching software, you can set the corresponding software
Yoga flip mode, quite a lot of time is really convenient
GIF time is up, really LG Display IPS hard screen with YOGA 360 ° hinge settings plus Windows10, really very convenient, all kinds of touch control are very convenient, most of the most important practical scene which is suitable for on-site display cases with customers or Material (Load B)
This screen is really fun and good looking
Do you think that experience is like this? Of course more than that, there are finally dismantling and upgrading suggestions
Why do you want to tear down this notebook, mainly I searched for the dismantling of the 710 on the Internet before, basically there is no complete, so I demolished it for reference when other users search.
Tools, 710 screws are hexagonal screws, so the best screwdriver set is the kind, and the bottom cover of the 710 is a whole piece, after the removal of the screw is best to use a crowbar (disassemble piece) to open the buckle, You can take it off.
The inner structure, more unexpected is actually using a dual fan settings, maintenance convenience is good, but scalable properties in general, mainly memory and SD slot are only one.
The memory slot is quite different, there is a metal shield on the top, this metal shield is not fixed with screws or adhesive tape, but with a metal clip to fix, so when you want to split, it is best to use your hands to pull up, you can open Now. There is only one memory slot, so upgrading the memory will be a little troublesome, and it is best to buy a single large capacity directly.
I took Kingston's DDR4 notebook memory 8G and HyperX Predator 480G 2280 standard PCIe SSD experimental upgrade.


More YY after replacement
If it is not out of stock, it is estimated that I will try to buy 16G directly. After upgrading 8G memory, not only the capacity doubled, but the memory performance even improved slightly. So personal advice 710 upgrade 8G, 16G memory is worth it (self-demolition cover upgrade does not affect the warranty)
Although the performance of the 480G SSD is stronger, the personal sense of the greatest significance is the capacity upgrade.
to sum up
So according to the requirements of the title I said, Lenovo YOGA 710 LG Display IPS hard screen version is the notebook in my heart?
Appearance: Moderate, but not lost, individuals even want it to be more low-key (individual subjective)
Performance: The performance of the 710 is basically no problem in the daily home office. Although the items with relatively high performance requirements (normal PS, LR, simple video suppression) are slow, they are not impossible to do. However, the individual is more like removing the 940m alone, directly using the set display, if the CPU has a standard pressure version is better; memory; 4G ordinary applications no problem, but it is best to start the 8G version; SSD part of the performance is perfect.
Screen: 710 score items, LG Display this IPS hard screen, does make 710 a lot of color, with 360 ° hinge, there are indeed many practical features, not just the screen quality is good. Even the screen's border can be pretty good. And everyone must know. . . The XPS13's screen began to shrink. . .
Life and so on: I don't mind if you're stronger.
As a notebook with a price of 5-6K yuan, it is bound to be more weighed with the budget, and it will not be able to do everything. The Lenovo YOGA 710 LG Display IPS hard screen ultrabook this experience, indeed let I was very impressed by the very comprehensive practical performance coupled with the excellent screen. I personally feel that it is one of the most portable notebooks worth considering at the same price point.
