Practical Experience
The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 arrived for review at the worst possible time, just before the renovation of my apartment, including electrical, heating, and water systems. This made testing this portable device complicated but not impossible. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for construction work, despite its MIL-STD-810H durability certification. The cooling system must have really been put to the test in this case. What pleasantly surprised me was the battery life. The renovation took almost a month (it was supposed to last only a week, according to the workers), and I sometimes accessed the Yoga only after three or four days, sometimes just for an hour, simply putting it to sleep by closing the lid. Despite this, the battery indicator still showed 65% capacity. Very impressive, in my opinion.
In terms of performance, I would place this new device in the mid-range – it’s more than sufficient for browsing the internet, filling out spreadsheets in LibreOffice, or writing this review. You can also play games, but keep in mind that the GPU is integrated and doesn’t have its own VRAM, which means you should focus on less graphically demanding games. For example, I enjoyed playing “Surviving Mars” and “Homeworld 2 Remastered.”
The review unit came with a mouse and a stylus. I have no complaints about either – both peripherals worked flawlessly.
