Lenovo Reveals the Yoga 730 and Yoga 530 2-in-1 Laptops with Alexa Support

They feature up to Intel's latest 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with the Yoga 730 having the option of coming with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 discrete graphics card. Apart from conventional input methods, consumers can also interact with the Yoga 730 through voice since it comes with built-in Alexa support.

Lenovo is also offering the optional Active Pen 2 with up to 4096 levels of sensitivity for those users who love to write, draw, or jot down notes on their laptops.

Lenovo Yoga Rotation

After updating my BRAND NEW Lenovo Yoga, the screen no longer rotates in tablet mode and the rotation lock is 'on' but is greyed out and will not let me edit it. How do I fix this ASAP? I use the tablet mode for school and work and need it, it was the
purpose of buying this computer.

 

Windows 10 Not Rotating the Screen

Found the solution for at least the Lenovo Yoga:

• Disable or Stop the ymc service in task manager.
• If, in settings, the rotation was locked: unlock it.

Also note that it was kicking me into tablet mode after I stopped the ymc service but, I can go back and forth as much as I like.

ymc service stands for Yoga Mode Control so, it kind of quirky that disabling it allows the device to rotate and "yoga". Maybe Win 10 has a rotate feature built in and it is conflicting with the lenovo routine.

Thanks,

Mike
