Lenovo has introduced the Yoga 6 Gen 8, a 13-inch convertible powered by AMD Ryzen 7000 APUs. The Yoga 6 Gen 8 also has a 16:10 display, a 59 Wh battery and plenty of ports considering its form factor.

The Yoga 6 is now on its eighth generation, with Lenovo presenting a new model for this year during CES 2023. However, the Yoga 6 Gen 8 shares a few details with its predecessor, including its design. Unfortunately, Lenovo continues to equip the Yoga 6 with APUs based on older architecture designs. While last year's model arrived with the Lucienne-U and Zen 2-based Ryzen 5 5500U and Ryzen 7 5700U, the Gen 8 features Barcelo Refresh parts with Zen 3 cores.

Specifically, the Yoga 6 Gen 8 will be available with the Ryzen 5 7530U and Ryzen 7 7730U, which share many similarities with the Ryzen 5 5625U and Ryzen 7 5825U. The new Yoga 6 also contains 8 GB or 16 GB of dual-channel RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 (M.2 2242) storage. Additionally, Lenovo has included the same 59 Wh battery with the Yoga 6's 304 x 218 mm chassis, which is 17.36 mm or 17.45 mm thick, depending on whether you purchase the Fabric or Metal edition. These models differ in weight too, with the former 200 g heavier than the latter at 1.39 kg.

Moreover, the Yoga 6 Gen 8 has a 13.3-inch IPS display that outputs at 1,920 x 1,200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio with 300 nits of peak brightness and 100% sRGB colour space coverage. The 2-in-1 offers the following ports too:

  • 1x 3.5 mm jack
  • 1x HDMI 2.1
  • 1x MicroSD card reader
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (DisplayPort/Power Delivery)

The Lenovo Yoga 6 Gen 8 will be available later this quarter in the Eurozone. Currently, Lenovo hopes to start selling the 2-in-1 in March; availability in other regions is not known yet. The Yoga 6 Gen 8 will start at €999 in the Eurozone.
