A powerful and compact laptop
This laptop is fabulous, and is all around a very powerful laptop. I got this laptop for college and it has been great. First the ryzen 8000 derided processor with the 780m igpu and npu has been great. The processor is great at handling any tasks I through at it. The 780m igpu is great and runs some of my older games great, like bioshock, at its native 1920x1200 resolution and at 60 fps. And the npu is great for doing any ai task. The 16 gb of ram is also great and enough and fast so I’m able to load into applications fast while also having multiple tabs running all at once. The include 1 terabyte of storage is lightning fast is great for storing all my files and games on it. The battery life is great and I usually see myself getting around 7-8 hours on one charge. It also charges fast on the included usb c charger. The only gripe I have about it is the 1920x1200 ips display it’s good but not great and it being 2024 this laptop should come standard with at least a 2k 120hz screen. But Lenovo does offer an oled model, which looks better but it is a little more expensive. The port selection is nice and has 2 usbc ports, a hdmi port, usb port, a headphone Jack, and a micro sd slot as well. I like that this laptop has support for windows hello and has a fingerprint scanner as well. The laptop is nice and light and never gets loud at all and the fans barely spin while browsing and do not get to load while playing games. Also for being an all metal design it never gets unbearably hot and barely gets warm to the touch under a heavy load. The 2in1 feature is great and makes watching movies and taking notes a breeze. The touchscreen is responsive and has no problems at all. Finally the speakers are amazing they get nice and loud and the audio is always clear. Overall this laptop is a great bang for buck at this price and with amazing build quality and performance this laptop is great at balancing everyday task and a little bit of light gaming. This laptop is great for a person looking for a new laptop or laptop for school.

Great! But...
This laptop is good... for the most part Speed Absolutely wonderful. This thing has done everything I've wanted and needed it to do, and then some. The 16gb of ram has allows for h multiple programs, apps, and windows open at a time, and the 1 tb ssd is more than enough storage for the typical user. The processor is no joke either. Everything from 3d modeling, gaming, light browsing/work, video editing, etc works pretty smoothly. Of course what im doing in these categories is middle ground to less intense, a computer with a dedicated gpu will always do better. Though for what you're working with, it's quite exceptional. Build Another wonderful quality of this laptop. Lenovo's yoga series is known for their great laptop build quality, and this one is no different. The shiny, metal body paired with the logo on a reflective material, provides an Amazing feel, look, and strength. Display Unfortunately this is where the praise ends. The display of this thing is not color accurate at all. Images and other media may appear dull and gray on the screen. It also doesn't get very bright, sitting at about a maximum brightness of 400 nits. This doesn't effect me too much since I'm usually working from an external display, but the issues remain. NOT the end of the world, but certainly less than ideal Battery Another lacking point. This laptops battery really bad. Playing games at high settings or any other intense task, you'll be looking at about 2 hours of battery life. Even simple web browsing will land you with just above 5 hours. Not very good. Overall, the laptop is decent. The battery really holds it back from being a great buy. If you can afford to spend even $100 or $200 to get a better computer, absolutely do so. Otherwise, I'd advise to wait for a sale because this device at full price just isn't worth the downsides.

Better than a MacBook
I've used MacBook laptops exclusively for my entire life and I've realized that having a MacBook can be such a headache, especially since, after a period of time, they slow down due to the high amounts of read and writes on the SSD caused by memory swap technologies. This Lenovo laptop, unfortunately, does have soldered memory, but 16GB is far more than enough. On top of that, the SSD is not soldered, meaning that after a period of time, instead of getting a new laptop because of decreased OS speeds, you can just pop in a new SSD for less than $100. The screen on this laptop is amazing. It says it's 2K, but it's actually more like in between 1080p and 1440p. That doesn't matter because it is an OLED display, which means insanely accurate images and colors. The CPU could be comparable to the likes of the Intel i5 13th gen, but this version of the Ryzen 7 gen 8 is a lower wattage, which means that it isn't the strongest. Still, the CPU is more than capable of handling almost any task. I got it on sale for $649, and I believe it is a fantastic price for a reliable laptop. It's much better than any MacBook or other Windows-based laptop for its price.

All around Champion
This is a great all, around laptop. It has better than ok marks across the board. It's very well built seems extra solid. The sound is amazing and with this model with the Ryzen 7 you get great performance with great battery life to match. It can even do some light gaming. If you are thinking about buying this, do it. I would totally recommend this for school or work but it's still a fun machine to use as well. This might be the best laptop you can get at best buy in terms of price to performance ratio.

Best Bang for Your Buck
Was researching for hours a 14” 2-in-1 laptop in the $700 price range and am beyond exuberant that I found this one. Was able to pick up from my local Best Buy with the current $200 off which had me paying way less than going to Lenovo directly or running the risk of buying from a 3rd party seller. Comes with maxed out specs like the latest Ryzen 7, 16gb DDR5 dual channel ram, and 1TB of m.2 ssd. Great laptop with one factor I’ve heard being the IPS panel which looks stunning to me. The other option is an OLED display which although is nicer will run you several hundred more which takes away the point of the discount. Best bang for your buck in terms of 2 in 1 laptops and also comes in a 16” version for the same price in case you prefer a number pad or a bigger screen. If you want to look into any more specifications about the laptops, including what comes with the Ryzen 5 downgraded versions of each, look at Lenovo’s PSREF for Yoga 7 14AHP9 for 14” and Yoga 7 16AHP9 for 16”. God Bless ♰
