Notes on Lenovo Yoga 730

Software

• Windows Update
  • Makes screen better
  • Makes WiFi better
• Dolby Atmos
  • Change to "Dynamic"
• Lenovo Vantage
  • Good battery tracking
  • Claims to disable mic and camera
    • Messing around with OpenCV in Python pulled webcam even though it should have been locked.
    • Now in locked state camera still streams a grey picture with white crossed out camera on it.
  • There is some speed battery charging option, currently "safe battery life" option in use.
  • Rest is useless garbage
• Uninstall MacCafee!!!
• Firefox
  • Disable smooth scrolling
  • TrackPad Gesture modification?
  • Three finger swipe can be modified in Windows (also has 4 finger swipes for lulz)
  • Two finger swipe no supported
  • I have created two finger swipe addon (apparently this is needed since it has 1000+ users)
• Scroll speed adjustment
  • Can be done from Windows

Hardware

• Pen opens twice. Upper part require coin (or something similar)
  • Works fine with "Luonnoslehtiö" app
• fn+space for backlights is a good idea
• No media buttons :(
• Touch screen works fine
• Speakers are at the bottom 👎
  • Sounds fine in tablet and stand mode
  • Not so good in soft surface
• Keyboard is good
• Track-pad is terrible
  • Random clicks from touching
  • Very stiff from the top
  • Very loose from the bottom
  • Sometimes bottom right side is right click, sometimes not
  • Two fingers swipe does nothing (maybe Windows thing?)
  • Was/is bug in Firefox
• Finger print scanner doesn't play well with Hello Windows
• Power button is on right side

~~TODO~~

• Search if the TrackPad is as terrible for everyone else. (Maybe HW issue? Driver issue?)
• I've given this machine away and moved back to MacBooks.
