Overall, we didn't have too many complaints about using the laptop as a working device. The Yoga 7i is an attractive 2-in-1 laptop with good performance for work and nothing more, but consumers may think twice about getting one due to the starting price of RM5939. Note - that's just the starting price for the model that we reviewed. If this is too expensive for you, Lenovo also offers another variant starting from RM4809, featuring a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD storage, but without a stylus. Apart from Lenovo, there are other 2-in-1 laptops such as the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 9315 at RM5999 or the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7420 at RM3399. The choice is yours.

As it turns out, waiting for the Ryzen 6000U series was worth it. The Yoga 7 (14″, 2022) shows not only a great performance from its CPU but also from its integrated graphics card. And more than 12 hours of battery life is a great result, considering the fact that our unit was equipped with the 2.8K OLED panel.

The Lenovo Yoga 7i is one of the few 2-in-1 laptops that offer both high performance and the ability to attain maximum productivity as long as your needs are in line with the hardware. It is a premium machine that will not disappoint creators or business-class users. It is suitable for anyone who wants a tablet but is hesitant to buy one because of how limited its usage can be. And since it is solving that problem of yours, it demands a price of around Rs 1 lakh. You can easily get a high-performing laptop for around Rs 60,000, but that added premium is what makes the Lenovo Yoga 7i a must-buy for a 2-in-1.

The Lenovo Yoga 7 certainly shines, and while it does have some minor drawbacks, they are relatively insignificant. One of these is the absence of built-in pen storage, which means you’ll need to rely on the included case for that. That being said, the Lenovo Yoga 7 presents an impressively sleek and feature-rich design. While it would be nice to see longer battery life and greater flexibility with the added function keys, there’s very little to fault with this device. Its outstanding design, stunning OLED display, and overall performance more than meet expectations. All things considered, the Lenovo Yoga 7 14IRL8 is a highly reliable choice for individuals seeking a 2-in-1 laptop that offers an exceptional screen, impressive performance, and solid battery life. This device also features a touchscreen and includes a stylus, making it a well-rounded option for a variety of tasks.

All in all, the Lenovo Yoga 7 14IRL8 is a really solid machine for those looking for a 2-in-1 laptop that has an amazing screen, great performance, and good battery life – all while having a touchscreen and an included stylus. While I would have loved another USB-A port and a more “metal-feeling” design, these are mere nitpicks to what’s overall a really good convertible package.

Once again, the Yoga 7i (14″, 2023) proves to be one of the most appetizing convertibles on the market. Its fantastic short-to-medium load performance is going to make your experience super snappy. At the same time, you get an M.2 PCIe x4 Gen 4 SSD, which also contributes to that. What is a bit unfortunate, is that there is no memory expandability. This is nothing different from what its competitors are doing in the same class, though. However, the 16GB maximum LPDDR5 RAM seems a bit low for some occasions. This is especially true since the laptop is capable enough to be used for professional work. Lenovo Yoga 7i (14″, 2023)’s touchscreen OLED panel has comfortable viewing angles, quick pixel response times, and an infinite contrast ratio, which is a result of the True black colors.

Now, should you buy the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 laptop paying Rs.101990? Well, in my experience the laptop offers impressive day-to-day performance and multitasking abilities. The touchscreen display is not only delightful but it also generates mesmerising visuals which are a treat to the eyes. Additionally, the battery life and charging are promising, making it an all-rounder device if you are looking for a laptop in the budget segment.

The 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is, plain and simple, reliable. For under $1,000, you’re getting decent performance, a sturdy aluminum chassis, a satisfying typing experience, and long-lasting battery life. It doesn’t exceed expectations beyond its longevity, but that’s okay. We just wish its display wasn’t as dim as it is, alongside a mediocre speaker system that won’t fill a room, nor will it sound particularly good. If you want a solid alternative, the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is lighter, lasts a few hours longer, and has a colorful OLED panel. Otherwise, the Lenovo Yoga 7i is a solid 2-in-1 laptop. And that sort of consistency is what you want and expect.

With its bouncy, comfortable keyboard, fantastic port selection, and semi-powerful, highly efficient processor, the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 14 is a good mid-range convertible laptop. That said, it’s not my favorite 2-in-1 laptop from Lenovo, largely due to its muted, 300-nit display and finicky trackpad. Priced at just $899, it’s hard to be mad at any of this laptop’s faults, but in such a competitive laptop market, I have to be. Whether or not the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 14 is worth it comes down to what you’re looking for in a laptop. If you want a convertible laptop that can double as a tablet, handle basic tasks with ease, last a decent while on a single charge, and you don’t mind a dim display or occasionally glitchy trackpad, the Yoga 7i 14 is a great deal at $899.

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (14″, Gen 9) is a solid transformer with a great all-metal build. Thanks to the smooth 360-degree hinge, you can use the laptop as a normal clamshell machine, in a tent mode for presentations in the office, or in a tablet mode when you want to draw something on the screen (or just browse the Web when you are laying in your cozy bed). The comfort under load is great even when the CPU is pushed to its limits – the keyboard feels just a little warm and the fan is almost quiet. This reminds us that the clocks of the optional Core Ultra 7 155H are decently high, or at least in short and medium loads which should be the main playground of such a machine. In longer stress, the frequencies are lower as well as the chip temperature.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I'm not a big fan of 2-in-1 laptops, but if you're looking for a powerful laptop that can also be used as a tablet, the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is a good choice. Even the base variant, priced at Rs. 1,01,990, is a good option, and you'll get excellent performance and long-lasting battery from the laptop. The OLED display is great for content consumption and creative work, but you can pay more and get the 2.8K OLED panel with 120Hz refresh for an even better experience. The only drawbacks are the speakers and the inability to upgrade storage. Overall, though, the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is an easy-to-recommend 2-in-1 laptop.

I think there is a lot of goodness in Yoga 7i. But it also is a sort of mixed bag. On one hand, Yoga 7i 2-in-1 has a stunning OLED display, robust speaker system, speedy processor, and impressive battery life, making it ideal for all-day use. The touchscreen adds to its versatility. However, the convertible design comes with some compromises, and as a standalone tablet the Yoga 7i lacks the kind of experience that dedicated tablets like iPad Pro can offer in this similar price range. But then the Yoga 7i is not competing with the iPad. It is a unique product offering consumers power and performance of a Windows laptop with some convenience of a tablet. And as that kind of device it surely is one of the best at its price of Rs

Priced at Rs 1,01,990, the Lenovo 7i 2-in-1 offers compelling value for those seeking a Windows-powered work machine that doubles as an entertainment hub. It boasts a long-lasting battery, and supports fast charging, making it a versatile choice for people on the go. However, for consumers seeking a portable laptop for content creation, alternative options with discrete graphics may better suit their needs.

I liked the Yoga 7 14 Gen 9 quite a bit throughout most of this review. Its performance and battery life are fine for anyone with less money to spend, and in fact, the Yoga is faster and longer-lasting than many laptops that cost a lot more. It’s also well-built and has a very good keyboard. The one weakness, poor display colors, might not matter to most productivity users. The display isn’t bad, exactly — it’s just not as good as some others. But overall, the Yoga 7 14 Gen 9 is relatively easy to recommend at $699. I just wouldn’t spend any more.

Most of the things that we said about the Intel-based Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (14″, Gen 9) are also valid for the AMD-powered Yoga 7 2-in-1 Gen 9 (14 AMD). That’s a multipurpose small transformer with snappy hardware and NVMe. Speaking of which, the 1TB SK Hynix HFS001TEJ4X112N SSD may be fast but it also gets toasty during benchmarking, unlike the CPU whose temperature is always within reasonable limits. This reminds us that the processor can maintain decent clocks in short and medium loads but the frequencies drop down below the official base values in longer stress. Aside from that, this small fella always feels fast, especially for normal home or office usage.

With a great design, strong overall performance and outstanding battery life, the Yoga 7 14 Gen 9 is a good midrange two-in-one. Moreover, it's a great value at its price of $900 at Best Buy and an even better deal at its regularly discounted price of $800 direct from Lenovo. Its brighter display and slightly lighter weight make it a better choice than Dell's similar Inspiron 2-in-1 7445, and its much lower price and longer runtime make it a better pick for most people than Lenovo's flagship Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9.

Intel and AMD have been in a tight battle for many years, and there have always been convincing cases to make for one or the other, depending on the situation. As for the Yoga 7, very little can be said about the AMD version. The Yoga 7 is a decent laptop thanks to solid productivity performance and the sturdy Yoga chassis we love, but you’re better off investing in the Intel alternative, considering it boasts the same benefits but significantly better battery life. We’re not just talking about an hour or two difference here: The Yoga 7i lasted five hours longer than the Yoga 7. The result is a laptop that works fine in a vacuum, but we highly recommend spending the extra money on the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1, as you won’t regret how much extra juice it brings. If you’d rather not dish out the extra cash, the Yoga 7 is worthwhile in enough avenues.

The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 combines a convertible form factor with a sturdy build, long battery life, and a capable modern CPU. It is a solid choice for anyone looking for powerful a 2-in-1 laptop for everyday use. We will add that for ₹85,000, the base variant offers good value for money for what is on offer. While you don’t get the OLED display, the Core Ultra 5 125U in the base variant isn’t that much slower than the Ultra 5 125H in terms of performance. However, the OLED display on the Ultra 5 125H model we tested offers much crisper visuals and vibrant colours. If your use case demands the colour accurate OLED display – such as for photo or video editing, then the premium does shoot up. That said, at ₹1,01,990 the Lenovo Yoga 7 is still competitively priced when compared to other similarly specced OLED 2-in-1s in the market right now and even manages to outperform pricier competitors.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
