A gorgeous co-working space? Check. Seamless wifi connection? Check. A laptop you don’t have to worry about lugging around? We got you.
Our handy partner was the Lenovo Yoga 730, which we were able to bring around each location with little effort. The Yoga 730 is a flexible 2-in-1 laptop weighing in at just 1.12kg and measuring a sleek 13 inches. It’s slim and lightweight enough to be tote around town without straining your shoulders, which is great for an after work hangout without worrying about any extra weight.
Boasting over 8 hours of general use, you can bid the scout for power plugs goodbye as the battery life will last you long enough for a whole day of work.
The Yoga 730 comes with an optional Active Pen that lets you take notes, doodle and sketch – get creative! Plus, you’ll only need to turn on the bluetooth function for this, so there’s no need to ever fret about it running outta juice.
Aside from being compact and light, it also has an eye-catching 360° watchband hinge that allows you to bend the display screen. In other words, your notebook can double up as a touch-screen tablet too!
What’s more, the Lenovo Yoga 730 is just 1 of the many Windows Modern PCs you can get your hands on at Challenger and Hachi.tech. With a wide selection of user-friendly and versatile laptops, you’ll be right on track to finding yourself a handy notebook to bring along on your co-working sessions anytime, anywhere.
TSL readers will also be able to score discounts on their purchases at Challenger for the month of December – just use these promo codes!
