I thought the prior edition Yoga 720 was a nice upgrade from the 710. The 730 vs. the 720 is more of a minor update but it does include a quad core vs. dual core processor and has a wider amount of bandwidth on its Thunderbolt 3 ports (4 lanes vs. 2).
This is a nice 2 in 1 for its $799 asking price and a good choice for those looking for a mid-range laptop.
