The Yoga 720 was $825, not the 730. The 7700hq has a slightly higher Passmark score but is 45 watt vs 15 watt for the 8550u.

This model 730 has 512gm vs 256mg SSD.... probably not worth the $ difference because can upgrade to 1tb for less.

However, the 730 has 1050 with 4gb instead of 2gb Vram (obviously can't upgrade video card ram).

So lower power draw on the 730, bigger SSD, and more video ram.

For the specs this is a really good price. They also have a similar model up on the deal of the day, but I can tell the difference between them....

Reading the reviews it looks like the battery life isn't great (4K screen + GTX 1050) so I think I will wait for a new Matebook X Pro this year. Also I wish Intel would make LPDDR4 support for laptops available already.

I bought the 720 deal last week. Looks like this 730 comes with an HDMI port, and the CPU is slightly newer (not sure if better).
I plan on upgrading my ssd anyways to a 1TB ssd, so I'll stick with my 720 I purchased.

This one has a newer 8th gen i7 plus a 500gb HD compared to the other deal. Whether that is worth the $240 dif is up to you.

All the benchmarks I see show the 7700hq being very comparable, if not better.

In the BB description it lists as only 2gb video memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics
Driven by 2GB GDDR5 dedicated video memory to quickly render high-quality images for videos and games.

Because all the flagships will pack DDR4 (15 inch MBP, XPS, this laptop, etc) and I would prefer LPDDR4 because battery life on a laptop is very important to me (moreso than performance in most cases).

LPDDR3 is perfectly fine, but that's not what the flagship laptops will use because DDR4 is the future

Lenovo site states 4gb for the 730 but this model looks different. Thanks.
