Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1: What Real Users Say on Reddit

Got this for $499 two weeks ago, uninstalled all the embedded AI stuff and now it runs for 12+ hours easily. Can't beat it for this price, beautiful screen, decent keyboard and 70wh battery, also extremely quiet

I've tried some esports titles gaming — it gets about 150-200fps on Valorant 1440p Low and 130-170 on Rocket League 1440p low with 2gb of dedicated memory for the iGPU. I haven't really tested anything more demanding so take that as you will.

As the resident Lenovo reviewer on YouTube, and Lenovo shill in real life — I can give this a thumbs up. Yoga typically have best in class keyboard, very nice chassis design, good screens, and good speakers. They also come equipped with easy performance profiles you can flip with a button combo.

Stronger than the Ryzen Z1, a little weaker than the Z1 Extreme. A bit stronger than the Steam Deck (same CUs cache, and TDP, but newer architecture and 2x the clock speed). Whatever the Steam Deck can handle, I'd guess this can handle at least as much.

They even sell one with 8gb soldered ram. I don't even know what these laptop manufacturers are thinking when choosing ram for such beefy cpus.

I just bought the one with the Ryzen 5 AI 340, tried a few games. Could start risk of rain 2 with 80FPS on stage 1 (before shit hits the fan of course) and borderlands 2 I was getting about 45-50 FPS at low/med settings 1080p if that helps at all. Integrated graphics aren't quite there yet but for stardew, yeah I dont even have to check that it will run it.

I have this model, I love the screen, it's good looking and it sips power. The sound is surprisingly good. The camera is nice, the keyboard lights up and is well functioning. I don't use the track pad, I use a Microsoft surface and the touch screen. I think I paid $50 more back in April, I would buy it again for sure for my needs. You can fold it back like a tablet if you want to. I have played Football Manager 26 and it runs surprisingly well.

I seriously cannot find a downside to this thing so far. Maybe the track pad isn't as smooth as it should be? Metal chassis is sturdy, backlight is bright, screen is bright and vibrant, speakers are nice and loud, enough ports to get by. So far it performs fantastically.

Got this laptop for my mom over Christmas and it serves her really well. It's going to last a long time for light to medium users who take care of their things.

For heavy tasks like gaming about 2.5-3 hrs. For light tasks just browsers and word processing — about 10-12 hrs. I have one.

Dude tell me about it, I have 2 144Hz monitors on my main PC, I didn't want to settle for lower refresh rates but the battery life is too good to pass up on for me. Plus it's more tolerable if you aren't using it for gaming which I don't really intend to.

60hz is the catch. Hard to go back once you've been using a high refresh rate monitor, phone, etc. I bought a different 60hz OLED a few months back and gave up trying to get used to it after a week. Just felt so sluggish with how often I was using other higher refresh rate displays.

I got this for my father in law during the holidays and it's a really nice machine. Very impressed with it.

It's about as good as a 1050 MAX Q from 2018. Which is still pretty impressive that a relatively cheap laptop has that good of an iGPU. It was an ok entry level DGPU back then.

This seems really great for a windows touchscreen laptop. Touchscreens went way out of style for a few years there but they are awesome for a lot of tasks. This is very tempting if you don't want to commit to apple ecosystem yet.

Just purchased this! Super excited to use it for my college work. I have a desktop with a 4080S and 7950x3d for gaming and college work at home so I wasn't too worried about the integrated gpu being subpar. I decided that this is probably a good enough laptop for watching Netflix and doing my online college work away from home.

Crashed after 8 days. Online tech support could not repair. Returned it for full refund.

I recently compared all the options at Best Buy, and the Lenovo's were the clear winner. Best keyboard, lightest weight / thinnest, feel solidly built, and with impressive battery life with these new ultra efficient processors.

Just got this the other day after a week of looking around. No complaints other than the screen is pretty glossy and reflective when there's a lot of other light around.

I use it heavily for school and absolutely love it. It also handles light gaming just fine — I frequently play Noita and No Man's Sky on it. No Man's Sky gets about 30-40 FPS on "Standard" graphics settings. You'll have no problems with Minecraft and Stardew Valley.

For anyone still considering this, please know that I and many others, even among the reviews Lenovo has published, have at the least received machines that have been extremely glitchy right out of the box. I'm returning mine. Within an hour out of the box, this thing was needing to be restarted every hour or so due to the new and fascinating ways it decided to malfunction.

I've been very happy with it — good screen, excellent performance without getting unpleasantly hot like the one I had and battery lasts easily 2-3x longer. I went back and used the old model the other week and was shocked by the difference in heat.

My experience with yoga 7 2-in-1 is rather pleasant.

Photoshop has been a breeze on this machine despite only having integrated graphics (RDNA 2 ftw!) so Illustrator would surely also run well. Plus, the OLED panel definitely will help any creative work demanding color accuracy, though I primarily take advantage of this for watching movies.

The few things I've seen about it make it look like a good laptop but the RAM... what is that? We have 2024, why do they still not offer 32GB ram on so many laptops, especially high end ones. And the 1200p 60hz display also deters me... A 1600p 120hz would be nice.

I noticed the same thing on my yoga 7 2 in 1. If I'm gaming I use it in tent mode with a second keyboard and a mouse, so the hot air can go up without any obstacle. Otherwise, I'm in eco mode. Another irritating design is the emplacement of the speakers. When you put the 2 in 1 in tent mode or tablet mode, the speakers are directed in the opposite direction. What's the use of the Dolby Atmos surround technology if only my hands or my lap can enjoy it.

Other than my concern about hinge issues from previous models and the exhaust vent faulty design, everything else is great! That's why I'm giving it a chance instead of immediately returning it and sticking with the ThinkPad.

Had this before myself, while the screen is nice I couldn't get past the color or size. Way too small and didn't come in black or grey from that listing. If that doesn't bother you it's a steal imo.

Similar experience, here nothing but trouble — needed to send back multiple times and constant issues. Complete waste of money as I just needed something for school work but wanted some extra specs for fun.

I've got the gen 9 with ryzen 7 8840hs. Overall I love it, but I also suspect I'm going to need a warranty replacement. Have had no luck getting an eGPU working over USB4 and my windows install recently got corrupted. Apart from the above, I've loved it for a mid to high end machine. Keyboard feels good, I get probably 7-8 hours of battery life with zero effort taken to make it last.

I got one for my daughter 7 months ago. She likes it, especially drawing and playing games. It blue screened once and recovered after futzing with it a bit but a few weeks ago it did it again and couldn't 'fix itself'. I had to call customer support then make a usb key to reinstall everything. That process wasn't without trouble in itself but eventually after several hours I got the key, reinstalled everything and the laptop seems ok now. But who knows if it's going to keep doing it.

I picked up this system 3 days ago for $649 from Best Buy and have been setting it up. So far, I can tell the battery seems to last a good amount, and this is the first time I'm using a laptop that is smaller than 15.6". I did notice that the fans spin up and make a strange whirring noise on and off, which almost feels like the fan blades are rubbing against something. Aside from that, I have no complaints so far. It does what I need it to do, and I'm loving the OLED screen.

I like mine, I've had it for over a month, I got the version with the Ryzen ai 7 350 though. I picked mine up open box at best buy for $550, 16 gigs of ram and 1tb ssd, the radeon 860m packs a decent punch for gaming, runs everything I throw at it, newer games you'll have to settle for low 1080p / sub 1080p though, older games run like a champ. It's impressive for how light and thin it is, basically ultra thin with the power of a gtx 1650 mobile.

I bought this and noticed this design flaw: The exhaust vent is positioned almost directly in front of the bottom bezel, which makes the hot air trapped between the bezel and the top rear. Thus the top rear heats up significantly after some time of use. I believe this will gradually degrade the bezel and hinge mechanism.

My hinge broke in first 2 months of owning 7i Gen 8. The battery barely lasted 2 hours. I don't recommend it, you can literally buy a HP Omnibook X for around the same price and it's literally 10x better.

The 7 2 in 1 is certainly impressive. Hope I have better luck than the other poster, but so far it's great.

I tried 3 of these and was really impressed....except the touch pad was not compatible with my fingers. Skipped, jumped, stuck, etc. After trying 3 different devices, I just gave up.

It was $800 CAD on Lenovo.ca a couple months ago. I returned mine. Seemed like just a rebadged ideapad with the OLED screen.

I'm currently using the Yoga 7 with the ryzen ai 7 350 and in my opinion it's pretty good so far.

Mine just died out of the blue, 5 months I've had it. I'm in Brazil and bought it in the US so I'm scrambling. I have to have my laptop working. I don't understand this. It was fine and then I plugged it in and it went black. Tried different chargers, different outlets, confirmed the power cords worked by charging my phone, nothing will even turn on the battery charge light.

Using it for 2 months as my (basically only) way to take notes on uni, so far it's great. As overall work/study laptop it's also fine but sometimes I feel like it is slower than it should be (maybe very power limited?). For gaming, if 30fps is enough for you, it will be manageable, otherwise big no.

My mom has a 12+ year old laptop that's barely working. I thought it was time for an upgrade and got her this one. I thought we could upgrade the RAM, but it looks soldered on. But since she's just browsing, playing flash games, word processing kind of stuff, I'm sure this is more than enough for her.

I use the Yoga Pro 7 gen 10 and I'm happy with it. I am not a gamer but for occasional photo editing it is good enough. The OLED display is gorgeous and bright enough even for outdoor use. The build quality is solid.

Screen and speakers are really nice tho.
