Verdict — More Than Just A Processor Update
At face value, the 10th gen Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 sports only a new processor over the previous 9th gen Yoga 7 2-in-1 16. Look a little deeper, however, and the small changes begin to add for a noticeably better user experience. The ports have been rearranged for increased accessibility, the keyboard font is larger and easier on the eyes, weight is slightly but perceptibly lighter, SSD performance is steadier, and battery life has increased significantly over last year's model. Casual gamers may also appreciate the adaptive sync display and fast integrated Arc 140V GPU which can run games that the previous generation Iris Xe was unable to.
Key drawbacks to keep in mind are the limited M.2 SSD support and weak color reproduction on lower-end configurations. While most laptops support one or two full-length 80 mm SSDs, the Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is instead limited to just a single 42 mm drive. Meanwhile, an OLED option is available to address the poorer colors and slower refresh rate of the IPS option, but he prepared to pay several hundred dollars more over our $1000 test unit.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
Best Buy is now shipping the Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16ILL10 as configured in this review for $1000.
The 10th gen Yoga 7 2-in-1 16ILL10 succeeds last year's 9th gen Yoga 7 2-in-1 16IML9 by swapping out the older Meteor Lake-U processor for newer Lunar Lake-V options instead. The two models are otherwise very nearly the same with just minor but noticeable changes as detailed in this review.
Our test unit is a middle configuration with the Core Ultra 7 256V, 1200p60 IPS touchscreen, and 16 GB of RAM for approximately $1000 USD. Other SKUs start with the Core Ultra 5 226V and can go up to an 1800p120 Hz OLED panel with 32 GB of RAM.
Competitors in this space include other midrange 16-inch consumer convertibles like the Dell Inspiron 16 7640 2-in-1 or HP Envy x360 2-in-1 16.

Specifications
Case — It's Lighter!
The chassis consists of the same aluminum materials as on the outgoing model for a familiar look and feel. Perhaps most notably, the newer model is lighter by about 200 g and with slightly different dimensions than before likely due to all the internal changes. Overall impressions and rigidity remain the same.
Connectivity
Port options have changed slightly from last year's model. There is now only one USB-A port instead of two while the two USB-C ports are split along the left and right edges for more versatility when it comes to charging or accessories.

Webcam
The 2 MP webcam comes standard with IR and a physical privacy shutter.

Maintenance
Sustainability
The model is manufactured using 50 percent recycled aluminum alloy for the outer cover, 90 percent post-consumer content (PCC) recycled plastic for the AC adapter, and 30 to 50 percent PCC recycled plastic for the keycaps and battery. The packaging is plastic-free.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices
Keyboard And Touchpad
The typing experience remains the same as on last year's Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 Gen 9 or the older 2023 Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 Gen 8 since the chassis has changed very little. The most notable change involves the printing on the keycaps which is now centered aligned. Otherwise, this change is only superficial.
Display
Two display options are available as follows:
- 1920 x 1200, IPS, 300 nits, 60% sRGB, 60 Hz, Glossy
- 2880 x 1800, OLED, 500 nits SDR, 1100 nits HDR, 100% P3, 120 Hz, Glossy
Our test unit comes with the lesser option above in bold. This particular panel offers essentially the same viewing experience as on last year's model as exemplified by their similar attributes in the table below. While perfectly suitable for browsing and video, amateur editors or designers will want to consider the OLED panel instead for its far superior colors and higher refresh rate.

The display is poorly calibrated out of the box which is not uncommon on budget to midrange laptops. Calibrating the display ourselves would improve average grayscale and color deltaE values from 6.5 and 7.39 to just 1.1 and 3.06, respectively.

Performance — Same But More Efficient
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. There are no specialized power profiles within Lenovo Vantage to simplify the number of modes available.
Processor
The Core Ultra 7 256V prioritizes performance-per-watt over raw performance and so H-series processors like the Core Ultra 7 155H or Ryzen AI 9 HX 275 are still much faster. It instead performs more in line with older U-series options like the Core i7-1355U but with the added benefit of faster RAM and an integrated NPU for Co-Pilot+ compatibility.
Note that downgrading to the Core Ultra 5 226V configuration decreases processor performance very slightly by only around 5 percent to make it a good option for buyers on tighter budgets.

GPU Performance
While raw processor performance is similar to the Core i7-1355U, graphics performance with the Arc 140V is significantly faster by up to 2.5x according to 3DMark benchmarks or 15 to 30 percent faster than the barely one-year old Arc 8. Most older titles run well at the native FHD resolution while more demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 will be limited to lower settings for more playable frame rates.

Emissions
System Noise
Fan noise would hover under 26 dB(A) against a background of 23 dB(A) when browsing or streaming video to be inaudible in a typical home or office setting. Pulsing behavior is kept to a minimum as well even on Performance mode. The internal fan will otherwise increase in RPM fairly quickly to just over 40 dB(A) when gaming or running other demanding loads.
