Lenovo Yoga 7i 16" 83DL0002US Storm Grey 2024

The Lenovo Yoga 7i is a versatile 2-in-1 with a great touchscreen, all-day battery, and premium build. Performance is middle-of-the-road, but it's plenty for everyday productivity. Just don't expect gaming beyond solitaire. At $726 it's a steal; at $1,050, you can do better.

Our benchmarks put the Core Ultra 7 155U right around the middle of the pack, which sounds boring but translates to a snappy everyday experience. The 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM keeps multitasking fluid, and the 1TB SSD offers decent load times. Where things get rough is gaming: our score scraped an 18.8 out of 100, so don't plan on anything beyond casual titles. The 300-nit display looks fine indoors, though working by a sunny window will be a struggle.

Next to the MacBook Pro M5 Pro, the Yoga 7i gives you a bigger touchscreen and convertibility for less cash, but you trade away raw performance and battery efficiency. The ASUS ProArt PX13 targets creatives with a better display and discrete graphics, though it costs more. The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro flaunts a superior OLED screen, while the MSI Prestige and HP ZBook Ultra G1a lean harder into business. If you value that flip-and-fold design above all else, the Yoga 7i holds its own.

Pricing for the Yoga 7i is all over the place. We've seen it as low as $726 and as high as $1,050 across different stores, and that $324 spread completely changes the conversation. Near the lower end, you're getting a lot: a big convertible touchscreen, solid build, and the latest Core Ultra chip. At the full $1,050, it's a tougher sell. Do yourself a favor and shop around before you hit buy.

The Lenovo Yoga 7i is a 16-inch 2-in-1 that gets the fundamentals right. The touchscreen is sharp and responsive, the battery sails through a full workday, and the 360-degree hinge feels like a convenience you'll actually use, not a novelty collecting dust. With an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U and 16GB of RAM, it sails through browser tabs, office apps, and streaming without flinching.

Skip this if gaming is on your radar, the integrated graphics simply can't keep up. If you need a color-accurate screen for professional creative work, the 45% NTSC coverage will frustrate you. And if you often work outdoors, the 300-nit maximum brightness will leave you squinting.

The Yoga 7i is a near-perfect daily driver for students, remote workers, or anyone who lives in a browser and occasionally edits photos. It's a jack-of-all-trades that masters the art of being easy to live with, especially in tablet or tent mode for note-taking or Netflix. If you skip gaming and snag it under $800, you'll be thrilled.
