Declaring to boast “up to 24 hours” of battery, that’s quite a bold claim from a smartwatch fitted with a 294mAh battery capacity.

An XPS 15 with that configuration costs $1,550 for a 1080p display and $1,900 for 4K. I can’t find that configuration for the Yoga 720, though one with a 4K display and a 1TB SSD runs for $1,305....
