I’d lean towards the Yoga for the better build quality.

Would also say this is a good option.
Need a new laptop for programming and drawing.

Would also suggest this if you’re cool with a 2 in 1.
If you don’t want a 2 in 1, I’d go with this.

The Lenovo Yoga 710 looks like it fits my bill very well. I found one on Amazon for $725 – is this a fair price for a new 2017 model?

Less than $700 laptop in the US

If you think you may be interested in a 2 in 1, maybe look into the Lenovo Yoga 710 for just under $700. It is a 14” with a touchscreen and 2 in 1 capabilities with pretty good specs and build quality. It has a new Kaby lake i5 processor, 8gb of ram and 256gb ssd. It also has a full 1080p IPS display, a backlit keyboard, a very long battery life, and weighs in at 3.6 pounds. The only problem is the right shift button is in a bit of an irregular position and can be difficult to adapt to. It has intel HD 620 graphics which should work fine for CS:GO and similar light games as well.
If you want something smaller, Another option you could look into is the new HP Envy 13 for $700 (US). It is small and compact, yet decently powerful with a new kaby lake i5 processor, 8gb of ram, 256gb ssd, and intel HD 620 graphics. It also has an extremely long battery life (advertised up to 16 hours), a sleek aluminum build, and a 1080p IPS display. It also has HD 620 graphics which should be fine for light gaming.
If you’re fine with less portability and think you may want a 15”, I would suggest the Acer E15 for $550. It has a new kaby lake i5 processor, 8gb of ram, 256gb ssd, and a GTX 940MX graphics card. It will work extremely well for light / moderate gaming with its dedicated GPU. It also has a 1080p TN display, a backlit keyboard, and a very long battery life.
Is this a good deal for programming?

Looks good for $650.
Though I’d personally just spend the tiny bit more extra for a new model with better build quality.
