Update | Lenovo outs Yoga Pro 16 laptop with beefier RTX 5070 GPU and 64 GB RAM at much higher price

This article originally contained several inaccuracies, like stating the laptop has two M.2 2280 SSD slots, which it does not. Those have now been clarified or fixed as appropriate.

Edited article continues as follows:

Lenovo has maxed out its venerable Yoga Pro line of premium laptops with a new variant that boasts a more powerful Nvidia RTX 5070 graphics subsystem, 64 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage. We reviewed the RTX 5060 SKU mere days ago.

As can be expected in this day and age when AI computing infrastructure gobbles up all the world's chip supply at an increasing pace, the newest Yoga Pro version that just got released in China is not cheap. (We reviewed the 9i 16 G10, too, for the record.)

Lenovo Yoga Pro 16 specs and price

The beefier 16-inch Yoga Pro laptop trim, combining a 12 GB RTX 5070 laptop GPU with 64 GB RAM and a 2 TB SSD, can be bought directly from Lenovo at a $4,865 equivalent (32,999 yuan). Lenovo seems to have chosen this moment to release such a pricey variant because it can still capitalize on the local government's "digital device" national subsidy campaign that brings down the price to $4,350 (24,999 yuan).

Still, Lenovo obviously thinks that there is a market for those creatives who need to squeeze more graphics power out of their Yoga Pro. Heretofore, both the RTX 5060 and 5070 laptop GPUs were available with 8 GB of video RAM, so the actual performance difference in benchmarks would barely hit 20%, but the 12 GB RTX 5070 is a different ballgame for those who need it.

Other than the graphics power upgrade, the new Yoga Pro 16 comes with the same great specs that the US-available trims offer, namely a Core Ultra 9 386H processor, LPDDR5X memory, and a PCIe 4.0 SSD (two drives are supported but one of them has to be of the shorter 22 by 42 kind).

Lenovo, however, claims to have treated this one as a gaming laptop when it comes to cooling with more openings and an increase of the effective dissipation area of heat pipes. The display is the same 16-inch tandem OLED touchscreen with top-shelf characteristics such as a 1,600 nits HDR peak brightness, wide color gamut coverage, a 120 Hz dynamic refresh rate, and ten-point touch sensitivity.

The aluminum chassis weighs a little over four pounds (1.9 kg), and the Yoga with its 12 GB RTX 5070 GPU measures just 0.68 inches (17.3 mm) thin despite also housing a large 92.5 Wh battery promising up to 18.5 hours of endurance and a smorgasbord of ports and slots: 2x Thunderbolt 4, 2x USB-A, an HDMI 2.1, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader.

Since the Yoga Pro Aura edition laptops are billed for creatives, Lenovo paid attention to the multimedia chops of the new RTX 5070 edition by providing a rich sound subsystem with Dolby Atmos branding and six speakers in a dual tweeter and four woofer crossover design as well as four surround-sound mics. Last but not least, the Wacom-powered touchpad can be used as a 7-inch writing tablet, complete with 4,096 levels of pen pressure sensitivity and linear motor feedback to simulate realistic writing or drawing strokes.

This makes the new Yoga Pro SKU with a 12 GB 5070 GPU a well-rounded and futureproof machine for creatives, but it remains to be seen if Lenovo will release it globally at some point, as its price seems poised to top four grand if and when it lands in the US.

The 2025 Yoga Pro 9i 16 G10 sports an older Intel chip but is otherwise still a lovely machine worth considering. Video review:
