“I've read online the 13 gen i7 "Raptor Lake" processors suffering from voltage overload causing permanent damage to the processor. This is mostly on the desktop units, but it is unclear if the laptop units are affected. What is the warranty on this issue?”

The “Raptor Lake voltage damage” reports and any Intel warranty extensions have been aimed at certain desktop 13th and 14th gen processors, not at laptop U-series chips like the i7-1355U in this Yoga 7i. So there is no special, separate “Intel voltage issue warranty” you can claim for this laptop model. For this laptop, coverage is simply: Lenovo’s standard manufacturer warranty for the laptop (typically 1 year parts and labor, unless your specific unit was sold with a longer term or you purchased an extension). If you added it, Best Buy Geek Squad Protection is separate coverage through Best Buy. If you’re worried about CPU damage or instability, the correct path is to file a Lenovo warranty claim (or Geek Squad if you bought that plan), describe symptoms, and let them diagnose and repair or replace under the laptop’s warranty terms.
