Elegant and fast convertible: Only the fabric cover slows down the Lenovo Yoga 6

The 8th generation of the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 uses the fast AMD R7-7730U.

The new AMD Ryzen 7 7730U is particularly quiet, but also provides a lot of computing power. This is due to the performance profiles, which are cleverly tuned to the tablet- and notebook modes. And there is the display cover, which is covered with fabric in a matching color.

First of all: The AMD Ryzen 7 7730U in the Yoga 6 performed very well in our benchmarks and performance tests. In some cases, it clearly surpasses Intel-equipped notebooks that are also designed for the typical power consumption of 15 W.

The integrated graphics chip, on the other hand, delivers only average performance values, which should still suffice for light media editing. Overall, demanding tasks can be tackled with the convertible.

At the same time, there is an energy saving mode that reduces heat generation and fan noise to a minimum. This is particularly advisable in tablet mode, not least because the battery life is extremely long as a result.

Then there is the design, which can be viewed in two ways: the fabric-covered display lid looks good, feels good and makes the convertible something special.

However, the fabric-covered display lid also collects small particles that get stuck all too easily in its woven pattern. The durability of the fabric is also questionable if the Lenovo Yoga 6 is frequently exposed to friction in a bag or backpack.

Our overall impression is that high working speed, versatile usability and aesthetics have been combined in the best possible way, but this also comes at a price.

All measurements and details about the case, display and equipment can be found in our review of the Lenovo Yoga 6 83B2001SGE.
