The Lenovo s730 and the IdeaPad 730S seem to sport almost identical specifications — a 13.3-inch FHD display, Intel Core i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM, and 256 GB SSD. The Lenovo s730 moniker sounds a bit strange. It could be that this is actually a Core i5 variant of the Yoga 730. Both carry '13IWL' in their model numbers. The 'IWL' stands for Intel Whiskey Lake. Neobits lists the IdeaPad 730S at around US$1,225 but the product cannot be added to the cart at this time.The Whiskey Lake-U series is the successor Kaby Lake-R lineup, both the Core i5-8265U and the Core i7-8565U are quad-core, eight-threaded parts with a 15W TDP. These are made on the 14nm++ process.
The Lenovo Yoga 730, on the other hand, has a 13.3-inch FHD touch display, Intel Core i7-8565U, 8 GB DDR4 2400 RAM, 512 GB PCIe SSD, and a fingerprint reader. Apart from these brief specifications, no other information is provided.
