The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is a well-made laptop with decent performance and good battery life that's attractive on sale. The display is a disappointment.
Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 MSRP $650.00 Score Details “Minus a dull screen, the Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is an absolute steal.” Pros Cons Table of Contents As we await the latest wave of new laptops from CES 2025, I’ve been taking a look at some lower-priced budget laptops. Lenovo ’s IdeaPad Flex 5i was a 14-inch 2-in-1 that came in at around $550, but sometimes you want a larger machine that doesn’t break the bank.
List prices range from $805 to $890, which is a lot less attractive. However, at the sale prices, the Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is great. You’ll struggle to find another large laptop that’s as good at these prices, but the display is one thing that might stop you from pulling the trigger. Aesthetically, it’s minimalist but attractive, with a dark gray colorway unbroken by chrome or other adornment. I have no complaints there, and really, it’s necessary to point out at this point because outside of gaming laptops, very few are ostentatiously designed. Minimalism is pretty much the game today. But, importantly, you won’t look at the machine and see “budget.”
Connectivity and webcam Connectivity is fine, with a number of ports that will support the needs of most people. The biggest limitation is that there are no fast ports such as Thunderbolt 4 or USB4. But most people will likely find connectivity sufficient. Wireless connectivity is fast enough. The Ryzen 7 is faster and more competitive with the Qualcomm chipsets and AMD’s own Ryzen AI 9 offerings, while the Ryzen 5 in the Yoga 7 is closer to the Intel chipset. What that means in practice is that while the Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is fast enough for most productivity uses, it’s not the fastest laptop by a considerable margin.
Display Although it’s been less common over the last few years, there’s one corner that’s often cut to hit budget prices: the display. On paper, that’s exactly what you see here. The Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 has a large, 16-inch display that’s too low-resolution at FHD+ . If you like sharp displays, you’ll immediately dislike this one. It doesn’t help that the IPS technology doesn’t produce dynamic colors or deep blacks — something I’ve grown used to in reviewing so many laptops with OLED displays.
