The Yoga 710’s magnesium and aluminum chassis comes in Ebony Black and sports a slightly iridescent finish. The hybrid feels solid and reliable, and its screen rotates 360 degrees on a pair of metallic hinges to sit in tent, stand, tablet and laptop modes. Silver rings wrap around the device’s deck and touchpad, and if black isn’t your color, Best Buy sells a Platinum Silver version of the Yoga 710.
