Colors were vivid, but blacks also lacked depth. To test out the Yoga 7i’s screen, I watched the trailer for season 2 of The Mandalorian in both normal and low light. The Lenovo Yoga 7i config we tested came with a 14.4 inch IPS touchscreen, though anecdotal testing left it feeling more like a cheaper LED display. Like many convertible 2-in-1s, the power button on the Yoga 7i is also on the laptop’s right side and activates with a single press, so you’ll want to be careful not to accidentally hit it during use. The laptop’s left side has just 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports and a single 3.5mm combination headphone/microphone jack, while the right side is home to a sole USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 port. We’d hope that this small touch of extra size would let Lenovo add more ports to the Yoga, but this laptop is also short on connections. The XPS 13 2-in-1 is 2.9 pounds, by comparison, while the Zenbook Flip S is 2.7 pounds and the Surface Laptop Go is just 2.5 pounds. The Yoga 7i is also heavier than rivals, coming in at 3.1 pounds.

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Go ultraportable is even smaller, at 11 x 8.1 x 0.6 inches. Given that Dell’s recent XPS 13 2-in-1 is only 11.7 x 8.2 x 0.6 inches and Asus Zenbook Flip S is just 12 x 8.3 x 0.6 inches, that makes this convertible potentially thicker than some other 2-in-1s. The review unit we tested was 12.6 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, though other configurations might differ in height, getting as tall as 0.7 inches. The Lenovo Logo is also on the Yoga’s inside, tastefully rounding out the bottom-right corner thanks to its metallic silver plating. In a nice touch, the keyboard matches the case’s color, though the screen’s bezels are surprisingly thick, measuring between a quarter of an inch to almost half of an inch depending on which side you’re looking at.
