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.

AMD Radeon 760M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 7040 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA3 architecture with 8 of the 12 CUs (= 512 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 2.8 GHz.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

The 8640HS has 6 SMT-enabled cores (12 threads) running at 3.5 GHz to 4.9 GHz.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
