Lenovo's Yoga 7 14 Convertible is not only much cheaper than the Yoga 9, but also better in some respects
We recently tested the two Lenovo convertibles Yoga 7 14 as well as Yoga 9 14, which are very similar products. Both use an aluminum chassis, a modern Intel Lunar Lake processor as well as high-resolution OLED screens. Our high-end review unit of the Yoga 9 was equipped with the 4K OLED and 60 Hz, while the Yoga 7 used the new 2.8K OLED with 120 Hz and higher brightness levels (especially in HDR mode with more than 1,000 nits), but with a slight grid effect. Both models share the same issue that the color deviations are a bit too high and that Lenovo does not include accurate color profile for P3 or the sRGB color spaces.
Looking at the chassis itself, the Yoga 9 is a bit more compact and wants to appear more premium with its polished side surfaces, but the quality of the Yoga 7 is not worse. At the same time, the Yoga 7 offers more ports with an additional HDMI output as well as microSD-card reader. The performance is very similar on both units since the Core Ultra 7 258V with 32 GB RAM can consume up to 37 Watts. At sustained workloads, the Yoga 9 has the slight edge with 30 vs. 25 Watts on the Yoga 7, but the impact is small in practice. Both devices are very quiet everyday scenarios and the fan noise is comparable overall.
The Yoga 7 is slightly better in terms of battery runtimes, but falls short when it comes to the speakers as well as the keyboard, where the Yoga 9 has small advantages. This brings us to the price, and the difference between our two similarly equipped review units is 700 Euros, which is pretty hard to justify.
