Lenovo Yoga 6 Gen8 review: Convertible with new Ryzen 7 7730U and fabric cover

Smooth and elegant. Visually, Lenovo's Yoga 6 definitely stands out due to its colour-accentuated, fabric-covered display lid. The mobile Ryzen 7 also earns some plus points, not only offering high performance, but also fitting almost perfectly into the elegant convertible thanks to other features.

The Lenovo Yoga 6, now in its 8th generation, has a lot to offer. The combination of tablet and notebook is aimed at creative minds who not only want to tackle graphic tasks with ambition, but also want slightly upmarket equipment for the home. The good, though by no means outstanding 16:10 display, the practical Lenovo digitizer pen (unfortunately not included) and convincing system performance fit this bill.

In addition to the variant we reviewed with its AMD Ryzen 7 7730U and 16 GB of RAM, a smaller model with an AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is also available. With this, 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM can be selected. Experience has shown that 16 GB is advisable, despite the overly high surcharge. Otherwise, you can only configure the software, accessories and the material of the display lid.

With the relatively new and, above all, fast processor from AMD, the Yoga 6 is definitely able to compete with a Dell Inspiron 14 7420, if not surpass it. At the same time, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7 with the same Intel Core i7-1255U is an interesting alternative, although it is no longer on par with AMD's mobility-tuned Ryzen CPU.

Case - The fabric of the Lenovo Yoga makes the difference

The chassis (metallic blue in our test unit) is sufficiently stable in its build. It only shows a slight bend when held at one corner. Here, the absence of an aluminum keyboard frame is noticeable, which would have made the whole thing even stronger. On the other hand, the display seems a good deal more solid.

The lid of this model is wrapped in fabric, the texture of which is reminiscent of tweed. Visually, this is definitely a highlight that makes you enthusiastic at first. However, fine dirt particles, crumbs and the like quickly catch and can sometimes only be removed with difficulty. One can thus plausibly assume that the edges and corners may be worn out in a year or two. Anyone who often stows the convertible in bags or backpacks and travels a lot with would be much better off with the aluminum lid.

Otherwise, the good workmanship and the tight hinges, which can only be adjusted using both hands, and the rounded edges for easy handling make for a good first impression. On the outside, the Yoga 6 clearly sets itself apart from the grey-silver colored competition.

With a screen diagonal of 13.3 inches, the convertible is roughly oriented to the DIN A4 format. This size ensures that it fits well in small backpacks or shoulder bags. A thickness of around 18 mm is not the best value, but for a model with a foldable touchscreen and high computing power, the Yoga 6 falls within the normal range.

This also applies to the weight: together with the power supply unit, it weighs less than 2 kg. Not extraordinarily light, but light enough for portable use, especially since it becomes clear later on in the review that the power adapter does not necessarily have to be taken along.

Equipment - Convertible with limited transfer rates

The range and number of ports are perfectly adequate for private use. A total of three video outputs - one via HDMI, two via USB-C - will only be used in the rarest of cases. On the negative side, all USB ports are only capable of 5 Gbit/s, which is on the level of USB 3.0. Nevertheless, this should be sufficient for transferring larger amounts of data, and video signals in 4K can still be forwarded.

HDMI and the headset connection are the usual extras, while the card slot has been omitted in many of the competitors.

What is lacking, especially in tablet mode, is a volume rocker, which is standard on tablets. Adjusting the volume while streaming a video turns out to be very tedious without a dedicated switch.

SD Card Reader

Using our AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 reference card, we measured a slightly above-average value for the transfer speed of the microSD card slot. Whether this is the same model as in the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7i is not certain, but cannot be ruled out.

Around 80 MB/s means that, in the best case scenario, a 32 GB microSD card would be copied in 7 min. The Dell Inspiron 14 7420, for example, would take half an hour for this.

Communication

The WLAN module is neither particularly fast nor too slow. The average values we determined for the same MediaTek plug-in card are even a few percentage points below our measurements.

So the Yoga 6 does not offer outstanding speeds, but it has more than enough power for all network and internet tasks. Bluetooth 5.2 is also integrated.

Webcam

The Full HD webcam of the Yoga 6 comes with all the important extras. In addition to the mechanical cover, an infrared camera is also installed. Image quality is satisfactory and color deviations are noticeable, but by no means particularly noticeable.

Even in minimal room light, the image remains decently illuminated, but displays clearly noticeable image noise. Once a dim or weak light is turned on, the video image quality gives no cause for complaint. 

With the dual-array microphone, voice recordings are solid with a reasonably consistent volume, even from different directions. However, a tinny undertone is minimally audible and the sound quality drops significantly at a distance of more than 2 m.

Maintenance

Access to the interior of the Lenovo convertible is sealed. This is fine, since in most cases it will remain sealed until the end of the Yoga 6's life. However, the seal could have been more discreet than a red sticker that is almost a quarter of the length of the entire device.

Those wanting to get inside will not be hindered otherwise. Six torx screws have to be loosened. Then, as is often the case, the base can be prised open without much effort, starting from the hinges.

Apart from the RAM, which is unfortunately permanently soldered, the M.2 SSD, WLAN module and battery can be easily replaced. The fan is also very accessible and easy to clean.

The RAM cover has been removed. Thanks to placeholders, the short 2242 SSD can be replaced with the standard 2280 format.

Input Devices - Variable Yoga 6 with comfortable controls

When typing, you immediately notice that the small convertible has a standard-sized keyboard, so it is well suited for frequent and fast typists. At most, the arrow keys with their double assignments, which are pushed tightly into the corner, require a little practice. The key drop of just under 1 mm is quite typical for a flat notebook keyboard. However, key feedback could be a little firmer and more precise.

The touchpad is pleasantly large: it measures almost 12 x 8 cm. Control is very precise. The hidden buttons also react quickly and are neither too firm nor too easy to press.

Then there is the touchscreen, of course, which makes handling excellent, not only in tablet mode. Because the hinges are firm enough, you can type on the display with the screen set up in the classic position. Since Windows has a wide range of useful gesture controls, the operating system can be operated efficiently without a keyboard and mouse.

The two-level keyboard backlighting is very even.

Display - Yoga 6 with low brightness

Screen bleeding is only slightly noticeable at the bottom right.
Screen bleeding is only slightly noticeable at the bottom right.

The combination of a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution slightly above Full HD makes working and surfing very comfortable. The display offers plenty of space and images are crisp.

Thanks to a very good black value, the contrast value is decent. Moreover, the illumination is even. Thus, on the desk and indoors generally, it is not at all noticeable that the maximum brightness is low at 280 cd/m². While this remains constant in battery mode, this doesn't help much in the presence of light. In combination with the reflective surface of the touchscreen, a sunlit room or wall is enough to reduce legibility.

No flickering was detected at low brightness levels.

The color spaces reproduced are suitable for a display that allows for intensive image editing, at least for hobby photographers. sRGB is almost completely covered and ensures strong and vivid colors. As expected, the panel is unable to handle Display-P3 and AdobeRGB, which are required for professional media editing, but it doesn't have to either. After all, numerous system or SLR cameras take pictures with the sRGB color space by default.

Uncalibrated, a deviation is particularly noticeable in the grayscale, which is definitely within the visible range. Color representation is at a good level.

After calibration, CalMAN shows almost perfect values. The DeltaE value for colour deviation is 0.62, far below the limit of what can be perceived, which is usually 3. Our profile can be downloaded above.

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise
↘ 6 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 13 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18925 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Reflections are almost unavoidable outdoors.

With a glossy surface and low brightness, using the Lenovo Yoga 6 outdoors isn't much fun. If you can somehow manage to position your body directly in front of the display, the content remains legible. In most cases, however, this is not possible.

Images, videos and even text are very difficult to see.

We have no complaints about the viewing angle stability. Regardless of the angle of the convertible, screen content remains legible and shows neither color changes nor significant changes in brightness. This is to be expected of an IPS panel.

Performance - The Ryzen 7 in the Yoga 6 is efficient and economical

With the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U and 16 GB RAM, Lenovo's convertible can be expected to deliver high performance. The Zen3 architecture is still used here, so that the RAM is DDR4, but this does not entail any notable disadvantages. Without a separate graphics chip, high frame rates cannot be expected in games.

Nevertheless, some AAA titles in particular will be playable at lower graphics settings. Complex tasks that primarily require the CPU can be processed very quickly and even in parallel. With a few exceptions, this also applies to the optionally available AMD Ryzen 5 7530U, which has the same amount of L3 cache and an identical maximum clock rate with two fewer cores.

Experience has shown that the model with only 8 GB of RAM will have problems with multitasking and intensive browser use. Since the memory is not expandable, the 16 GB model is always advisable.

Testing Conditions

Lenovo offers three performance profiles for the Yoga 6. "High Performance" provides the processor with 30 W for a short time and 25 W for half a minute. These values drop to 25 or 22 W under "Smart Cooling". In "Battery Saving" mode, the consumption is limited to 10 W.

All performance tests and benchmarks were carried out under "High Performance". For comparison, we repeated some measurements in "Battery Saving" mode.

The performance profiles in Lenovo Vantage are somewhat hidden under "Power". "Fn" + "q" is the shortcut.

Processor

With eight cores, 16 threads, an L3 cache of 16 MB and a maximum clock speed of 4.5 GHz, the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U offers impressive key data. Basically, it's a slimmer AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. But instead of a TDP of 25 W, this model requires significantly lower cooling power of 15 W, so that the CPU can be installed in a slim and mostly quiet convertible like the Yoga 6.

For comparison, we included the AMD R7-5825U in the Cinebech R15 loop chart below. This clearly sets itself apart, but requires considerably more power to do so.

The Intel Core i7-1255U, which is designed for comparable applications like the slim Ryzen 7, always lags behind. Its previous generation, represented by an Intel Core i7-1165G7, falls further behind and only achieves 60% of the values provided by the Yoga 6.

That the performance drops after a while is to be expected for a convertible whose cooling is limited by the folding, but even then it remains clearly ahead of a Dell Inspiron 14 7420.

Remarkable at this point is that the performance of the Yoga 6 is almost level with the i7-1255U in "Battery Saving" mode, while the power consumption is limited to 10 W and the cooling is hardly busy.

More benchmarks and comparison values can be found in our CPU benchmark list.

System Performance

In the field of competitors, the Yoga 6 is not completely convincing in terms of system performance. Only in the PCMark10 "Productivity" score does it come out at the very top because of the strong processor performance. For all other values, however, the iGPU, the RAM and the SSD also play a role. All components are on a good level, but are by no means outstanding.

This is enough to keep up with most business notebooks. In PCMark 10 in particular, the Yoga 6 is clearly above the average for convertibles. This level of performance is clearly felt during use: programs start immediately and waiting times are very short. This also applies to the simultaneous running of several applications.

DPC Latency

No abnormalities were detected with LatencyMon during surfing, streaming and the short-term loading of the CPU. The maximum measured delay of a process is almost 1.5 ms. All in all, dropouts in real-time audio processing may occur, but this is unlikely. 

The playback of a 4K video was not quite perfect. Only three skipped frames is still a respectable result. Both can be improved with an adjustment of the drivers used.

Storage Devices

The small M.2 SSD in 2242 format performs very well. It almost reaches the maximum values of PCIe 3 for sequential reading and writing. The Zen3 architecture does not yet support PCIe 4. However, many competitors use comparable memory, even if more is theoretically possible. The high write performance would hardly be useful in a convertible.

The transfer rates of the SSD are sufficient in any case, especially since it delivers completely stable values without additional cooling. This is quite a different story on the IdeaPad Flex 7, for example, as our diagram with the measured values shows.

The compact SSD from Western Digital is also equipped with a placeholder. A later exchange for a model in standard size 2280 is thus possible, even if the seal on the bottom has to be broken.
