Verdict - Yoga Pro 7i 15 is a very good, but expensive multimedia laptop
Lenovo's new Yoga Pro 7i 15 Aura Edition offers a very good overall package with good performance figures from the Panther Lake processor and GeForce GPU, solid connectivity options, a gorgeous OLED touchscreen with 165 Hz and accurate color profiles, excellent input devices and a very good sound system. You also get an aluminum chassis with two SSD slots, but the hinges of our unit produced some creaking sounds, which does not really match the high price tag.
The starting price is north of $2600, which is steep for a laptop with the RTX 5060, but unfortunately, it seems we have to get used to that right now following the memory crisis. Other drawbacks include the loud fans when you stress the system, so the Yoga is even louder than some gaming laptops, as well as Lenovo's additional Creator power mode, which simply does not make sense when you already have a High Performance mode, which is now pretty useless.

Lenovo's Yoga Pro 7i 15 G11 is a new 15-inch multimedia laptop with a premium price tag and is pretty unique in the current market, because other brands usually only offer 14-inch or 16-inch models right now. Our review spec with the Core Ultra 9 386H, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD storage, GeForce RTX 5060 and the high-resolution OLED touchscreen with 165 Hz currently retails for $2619.
Specifications
Case and Connectivity
Lenovo uses an aluminum construction for the Yoga Pro 7i 15 and the overall quality is very good, but there are two weak points. It feels solid and the stability of both the base unit as well as the lid is excellent, but we noticed minor creaking sounds from the hinges. The functionality, however, is not affected, and the hinges are well adjusted (max opining angle 170 degrees) and there is only minor bouncing. The other issue is the power button, which is a bit clattery. The dark grey color does not really attract fingerprints, but the camera bump does not look very good. Both the memory and the Wi-Fi module are soldered, but you can implement two SSDs (1x M.2-2242, 1x M.2-2280).
In terms of connectivity, the Yoga offers pretty much anything you could want including Thunderbolt 4, two regular USB-A ports, a fast SD-card reader (even though there is no support for SD-Express) and a modern Wi-Fi 7 module, which manages great transfer rates with a corresponding router. You also get a 5 MP webcam (with eShutter) and it is obviously a Copilot+ certified laptop.

Input Devices
The Yoga offers a very comfortable keyboard (1.5 mm travel) with a two-stage illumination, which can also be activated via sensor. Key strokes are very precise and combined with the rigid base unit, this is one of the best keyboards you can get right now. Lenovo offers two different touchpads (15 x 9.5 cm, glass surface) and our unit is equipped with the regular clickpad, which works extremely well and offers high-quality mechanical clicks in the lower half of the pad. You can also get a force touchpad as an alternative. Our unit also features the capacitive touchscreen.
Display - Gorgeous 165 Hz OLED
The Yoga Pro 7i 15 Aura Edition only comes with a 2.8K OLED with a frequency of 165 Hz, but you can have a non-touch or a touch version. We are happy to report that the additional touchscreen layer does not affect the image quality, because even white contents do not look grainy (which is often an issue for OLED touchscreens). The overall image quality is just excellent with rich colors, deep blacks and fast response times. We measured PWM flickering, but the frequency is pretty high at 1.3 kHz, so there should not be any issues.
Our analysis with the professional CalMAN software reveals a maximum SDR brightness of almost 500 nits and up to 1107 nits (full-screen 784 nits) for HDR contents. Lenovo offers different color profiles and the P3 profile is already very well-calibrated out of the box with low color deviations. You also get a profile for sRGB contents, so picture editing is no problem. We were not able to improve the color accuracy even further with our own calibration.

The display backlight flickers at 1.31 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 95 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1.31 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7818 (minimum: 1.31 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance - Panther Lake meets Blackwell
Testing Conditions
Lenovo offers its own power modes, which can be synced with the Windows settings. However, in addition to the familiar High Performance mode, you now also get an even faster Creator mode. The problem is that this move does not really make sense, because the High Performance mode is now pretty much identical to the Auto mode as you can see in the table below. It can also not be selected via key combination Fn+Q yet, which is also annoying. The Creator mode is also the only way to get the full GPU performance and we used it for our tests.

Processor
The new Core Ultra 9 386H runs at up to 70 Watts in the Yoga Pro 7i 15 and levels off at 60 Watts, so the multi-core performance is pretty stable. The performance is good overall, even though the CPU cannot keep up with the current ARM chips from Apple or Qualcomm if you require even higher multi-core and single-core performance.

System Performance
System performance is excellent, but the Advanced Optimus supports results in short stutters when the dGPU is turned on/off. We did not encounter any stability issues.

Storage Devices
The Yoga comes with a compact M.2-2242 SSD by default, in our case a 1 TB drive from SK hynix (853 GB free). Transfer rates of the PCIe 4.0 SSD are good and stable, but the slot actually supports even faster PCIe 5.0 drives. If you want to expand the storage capacity, you can install a secondary M.2-2280 SSD (PCIe 4.0).

GPU Performance
Our Yoga Pro 7i is equipped with the familiar GeForce RTX 5060 with 8 GB VRAM and a maximum TGP of 85 Watts. The performance is on the expected level and significantly better compared to Intel's fastest Arc B390 iGPU in the Dell XPS 16, for example. This means it is also a good solution for gaming, even though the VRAM can cause some issues when you play very demanding games. If you want to be on the safe side, the new Yoga Pro 7i 15 is also available with the updated RTX 5070, which now features 12 GB VRAM.

Emissions & Power Consumption
System Noise
The Yoga is a very quiet device when you only use it for undemanding everyday tasks, but it gets pretty loud if you really stress the system (for example gaming). In the fastest Creator mode, we recorded more than 54 dB(A), which is louder than some gaming laptops. Both the Auto (46 dB(A)) and High Performance mode (49.5 dB(A)) are also pretty loud and we would have preferred a setting at around 40 dB(A). The Battery saver mode is much quieter, but is accompanied by a major performance hit. There were no electronic noises on our unit.

Temperature
The upside of the loud fan noise are the low surface temperatures, because only a few spots surpass 40 °C under load. During the stress test, the CPU levels off at 35 Watts (72 °C), while the GPU maintains 75 Watts (68 °C).
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.6 °C / 105 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 42.5 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 39.1 °C / 102 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.6 °C / 78 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 35.7 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 31.3 °C / 88 F for the class Multimedia.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 31.5 °C / 88.7 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.7 °C / 83.7 F (-2.8 °C / -5 F).

Power Consumption
Lenovo ships the Yoga Pro 7i 15 with a 140W PSU, but it is insufficient under load when you use the Creator mode. During our one-hour stress test, the battery capacity dropped by around 10 %. Sure, this is an extreme scenario, but Lenovo should have shipped a more powerful 180W PSU we know from some ThinkPad models, for example. The idle consumption on the other hand is very low.

Battery Life
The 84 Wh battery provides good runtimes with 12 hours in our Wi-Fi test at 150 nits and almost 8 hour at maximum brightness. This means the Yoga beats most of its rivals, only the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra is far superior at 150 nits with almost 17 hours (but only 30 minutes more at full brightness).
