Lenovo Yoga Creator 7 15IMH05 review: Dolby Vision, very good battery life, and a three-year warranty
While Lenovo targets so-called "content creators" with the Yoga Creator 7, the device should also interest buyers beyond that group, since it really is an allrounder. The mobile laptop is run by a Core i7-10750H processor and a GeForce GTX-1650 GPU. Competitors include devices such as the Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX535, the HP Envy 15, the Schenker Vision 15, the MSI Summit E15, and the Dell XPS 15 9500.

Case - The Creator 7 with an aluminum case
Lenovo uses a slim metal case with matte, smooth surfaces for the Yoga laptop. The color is kept in a gray-brown tone that is called "Dark Moss." The elegant case does not offer any visual frills, so it could be used without any trouble in professional settings. The battery is built in, and there is no maintenance flap. You can access the hardware after removing the bottom of the case.
The laptop does not reveal any faults in workmanship. The clearances are good, and we cannot find any material protrusions. The stability and robustness of the laptop are basically okay, but there is some room for improvement, since the base unit and lid can be warped a tad too much for our tastes. Pressure on the back of the lid does not lead to any changes in the image, and the tight hinges hold the lid firmly in position, with the maximum opening angle being 180 degrees. It is possible to open the lid using a single hand.
While the Yoga Creator 7 is one of the lightest and most compact devices in our comparison field, it is barely surpassed by the lighter Schenker Vision 15 and the more compact Dell XPS 15.
Equipment - Thunderbolt 3 included
Lenovo has equipped the Yoga with two USB Type-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB Type-C port (Thunderbolt 3). The latter supports Power Delivery and DisplayPort via USB-C. There are a total of two video outputs (1x DP, 1x HDMI). All the connections are in the back areas on both sides, leaving the areas next to the palm rests free from cables.
The Thunderbolt 3 port opens up some possibilities. In stationary operation, you could connect an extensive docking solution, an external GPU, or a monitor, and for mobile operation, you could charge the battery via USB-C charger - you wouldn't have to bring the proprietary power supply. A 45-Watt USB-C charger is sufficient to start charging - we tried it. On the other hand, the system will then complain about the charger being too slow and recommend a more powerful model. It is not possible to provide fully sufficient power to the laptop via USB-C, since the maximum transfer limit is 100 watts.
SD Card Reader
With transfer rates of 23.4 MB/s (transferring 250 jpg files of 5 MB each) and 31.4 MB/s (copying large data blocks) using our Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II reference storage card, the SD card reader belongs to the slower models. SD cards will stick out about 15 mm (~0.6 in) from the case.

Communication
The WLAN chip (Intel AX201) supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards and offers Bluetooth 5 functionality. The data rates measured under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in close proximity, close distance between notebook and Server PC) turn out excellent.
Webcam
The webcam (0.9 MP) records images at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. There are some clear deficits in the color accuracy, and with a color deviation of almost 35, the target (Delta-E < 3) is clearly missed.
Accessories
There are no additional accessories included besides the usual documents (quick start manual, warranty information).
Maintenance
After removing all the screws on the bottom of the case, the bottom plate can be removed using a flat prying tool. We recommend beginning in the hinge area, and once you have opened the case in that area, the rest of the plate comes off easily.
Warranty
Lenovo offers a three-year on-site warranty for the 15.6-inch laptop. A warranty extension to four years costs about 50 Euros (~$59).
Input Devices - The Lenovo laptop offers a keyboard illumination
Keyboard
The flat, smooth keys of the illuminated chiclet keyboard offer a short stroke and clear pressure point. We like the key resistance, and the keyboard does not have any give while typing. The two-step illumination is controlled by a function key. The keyboard left a good overall impression and clearly proved that it is suitable for everyday typing tasks.
Touchpad
A multi-touch capable ClickPad (ca. 10.5 x 7 cm; ~4.1 x 2.8 in) serves as mouse replacement. The smooth surface makes it easy to slide the fingers, and the pad also responds to inputs in the corners. It offers a short stroke and clear pressure point.
Display - IPS is onboard
The matte 15.6-inch display has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The brightness (320.3 cd/m²) and contrast (2000:1) turn out good, and are accompanied by excellent response times. Another positive point of the display is the lack of any PWM flickering. The screen supports Dolby Vision, which is an HDR variant.

* ... smaller is better
In the state of delivery, the color reproduction of the display is not convincing, and with a color deviation of almost 7, the target (Delta E < 3) is missed. The screen does not suffer from a blue tint. A calibration brings some improvements, causing the color deviation to drop to 2.54 and a more balanced reproduction of the Grayscale. The display is unable to fully cover the AdobeRGB (63%) and sRGB (97%) color spaces.

Performance - Sufficient for all application areas
With the Yoga Creator 7 15IMH05, Lenovo offers a 15.6-inch allrounder that brings sufficient computing performance for office tasks, Internet, video and image processing, and gaming.
Test Conditions
The laptop offers three power profiles: "Intelligent Cooling," "Highest Performance," and "Battery Saver" mode. You can switch between the profiles by using the "Fn" + "Q" key combination or the preinstalled Lenovo Vantage software. We ran our test with the "Intelligent Cooling" mode activated and additionally ran some benchmarks with the "Highest Performance" and "Battery Saver" modes activated. You can find the results in the comparison charts.
Processor
The Core i7-10750H hexacore processor (Comet Lake) runs at a basic clock speed of 2.6 GHz. Via Turbo, this can be increased up to 4.3 GHz (six cores) or 5 GHz (single core). Hyperthreading (two Threads per core) is supported.
For a short time period, the processor runs through the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark at 3.7 to 4.2 GHz, before the clock speed drops to between 3.6 and 3.8 GHz. It runs through the single-thread test at 4.2 to 4.8 GHz. In battery operation, the clock speeds range between 3.3 and 3.6 GHz (multi-thread) and 3.5 to 4.2 GHz (single thread).
We evaluate whether the CPU Turbo is used constantly in mains operation by running the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark for at least 30 minutes in a constant loop. The Turbo usage is at a medium level. Slightly higher working speeds are achieved when the "Highest Performance" mode is active.

Graphics Card
Lenovo has equipped the Yoga Creator 7 with a version of the GeForce GTX-1650 graphics core, whose performance has been reduced. Instead of the TGP of 50 watts specified by Nvidia, the model used here runs at a TGP of 40 watts. This places the GPU barely above the Max-Q version of the GTX 1650 GPU (TGP: 35 watts). The results in the 3DMark benchmarks turn out accordingly. The power profiles of the laptop have no influence on the graphics performance.
The GTX 1650 GPU (Turing) is a midrange model. It is accompanied by fast GDDR6 graphics storage (4096 MB). The UHD Graphics 630 GPU, which is integrated into the CPU, is active and the laptop uses Nvidia's Optimus graphics switching solution. The GTX 1650 can be deactivated in the BIOS.

Gaming Performance
The built-in hardware is able to bring all the games in our database smoothly to the screen. Generally, Full-HD resolution and medium quality settings can be used, and in some cases, more is possible. CPU-heavy games benefit from the Highest Performance power profile. A performance-hungry game such as "Cyberpunk 2077" requires lowering the resolution and/or quality settings.

In order to evaluate whether the frame rates remain largely constant over a longer time period, we run the game "The Witcher 3" for about 60 minutes in Full-HD resolution and at maximum quality settings, without moving the gaming character. We do not notice any drop in the frame rates.
