MWC 2018: Lenovo Shows off New Yoga 730 and 530 Models With Alexa Onboard

At the Mobile World Congress or MWC 2018, Lenovo has just shown off two new laptops. Both of them have Alexa support. They are a continuation of the popular Yoga series. The two new models also have Alexa support and are called the Yoga 730 and the Yoga 530. Lenovo had earlier unveiled the Yoga convertible laptops at the IFA 2017.

What sets these two new laptops apart is the fact that they have onboard Alexa support. This is indeed something revolutionary. These devices also have inbuilt far-field microphones which will allow the users to call for support from Cortana. This is also the feature that we saw in the  Yoga 920 2-in-1 laptop that was launched only recently.

The more premium Lenovo Yoga 730 definitely is one of the most presentable laptops around currently. The device currently comes in two variants which are based on the display size; one has a 13-inch display while the other one has a 15-inch screen. Both models will arrive with the 8th gen Intel Core i7 processor which will then work in tandem with 16GB of RAM. The SSD storage onboard is upgradable to 512GB and 1TB as far as the 13-inch variant and the 15-inch screen variants are concerned, respectively. The larger variant will also boast the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU which will aid in superior gaming.
