Deal | Lenovo laptop with 24 GB RAM and AMD Ryzen APU scores $550 discount

Courtesy of an ongoing sale on Best Buy, the well-equipped Lenovo Yoga 7a 2-in-1 laptop with a 14-inch OLED touchscreen is now available with a sizable $550 discount on the platform.

This brings its price down to just under $1,000, which, according to price trackers, happens to be its lowest ever on Best Buy. This specific variant comes equipped with a powerful Ryzen AI 7 processor paired with 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of storage.

According to our detailed review of a slightly lower-spec variant of the Lenovo Yoga 7a, the laptop performs admirably in most benchmarks with decent sustained performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 APU found in the listed unit features a 6-core setup, which puts it roughly in the same league as the Core Ultra 5 125H and an Apple M3 in multi-threaded synthetic benchmarks.

In simpler terms, the majority of moderately intensive multi-threaded workloads should be absolutely doable on the system. The impressive 24 GB of RAM on offer should also help with multitasking and folks who tend to keep a lot of browser tabs open and have memory-intensive workloads in general.

Our review unit was equipped with the same display as the one on sale. We found that the 1200p OLED panel covers almost the entire DCI-P3 color gamut, and boasts all the hallmark benefits of OLED panels, such as pixel-level dimming for infinite contrast and fast response times.

The display peaks at around 370 nits of brightness, which is perfectly fine indoors. In brighter environments, however, visibility might be a challenge. The 60 Hz refresh rate might also be disappointing for those used to high-refresh-rate panels, but is definitely serviceable for productivity.

However, the Radeon 840M iGPU is far from class-leading and is only adequate for lightweight graphical workloads and low-end casual gaming at very humble visual settings. The I/O is quite good and has been detailed below:

• Dual USB 3.2 Type-C
• Single USB 3.2 Type-A
• HDMI 2.1
• MicroSD slot
• 3.5 mm audio jack

As stated earlier, the laptop features LPDDR5X memory, which is simply not upgradable. The storage, thankfully, is upgradable courtesy of its M.2 2242 (1 TB Transcend MTE410S currently $290 on Amazon) slot. However, as we noted in our review, the laptop is quite difficult to get into.

At its current price on Best Buy, the Lenovo Yoga 7a 2-in-1 laptop offers a commendable package. This is especially true for folks with a requirement for a ton of RAM, which, as we all know, is quite a precious commodity in 2026. 

Interested folks are definitely advised to check out our extensive review of the Ryzen 5-equipped variant of the laptop before pulling the trigger.
