Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 7 16AHP9
Source: CNet
Yes, the Yoga 7 16 Gen 9 is a good choice if you are shopping for a two-in-one laptop and don't want to spend a lot on it. It offers competitive performance and long battery life, but it's better as a secondary laptop that you'll use for entertainment -- watching shows and movies, browsing the web and playing casual tablet games -- than a primary computer because its display resolution is a notch below where it needs to be for a 16-inch screen. In this case, the HP Envy x360 16 is worth the added money for its higher-resolution OLED display.

Like other bulky and heavy 16-inch convertibles, the Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 Gen 9 is a niche product. It's stylish enough and offers decent input devices and battery life, but its screen needs better color coverage and the base model's 8GB of memory is inadequate. The Intel-based Yoga 7i, which offers 16GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 4 support, and longer battery life for similar money, is a better option. However, we don’t find convertible features compelling on a device of this size. For most people, a non-convertible desktop replacement like the Acer Swift Go 16 or a more portable model such as the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Touch (UM3406) is a better option.

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. Those Zen 4 architecture cores are mated to the Radeon 760M integrated graphics adapter.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
69%: 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.
