Lenovo has recently refreshed its 2-in-1 Yoga laptop range with the launch of three new models at the ongoing MWC 2018 event. The Lenovo Yoga 730 comes in 13-inch and 15-inch variants. On the other hand, the Yoga 530 is a 14-inch 2-in-1 laptop. The key highlight of the new Yoga laptops is the incorporation of latest 8th-Gen Intel Core i7 processors, full-sized keyboards, and an option to include Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card.

The buyers can purchase Lenovo Active Pen 2 as an optional accessory which comes with 4,096 levels of press sensitivity while writing, drawing or explaining with Windows Ink.
