The model is one of the first 16-inch convertibles to include discrete Intel Arc graphics whereas the Dell Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 ships with the GeForce MX550 instead.

Hi, I can't agree with this part, sorry :


" which makes it one of the heaviest and biggest convertibles you can buy. In fact, its 2 kg weight is almost twice as heavy as some 15-inch laptops like the LG Gram 15. "


Actually it's the other way around : the LG Gram are pretty much the only exception, since they are the lightest convertibles one can buy (BTW yes, I said "convertibles" and not "laptops" like you: we can't compare convertibles to laptops, convertibles are always heavier).


In fact all other 16" convertibles weight at least 1.9 kg, which puts this Lenovo Yoga at pretty much the same weight than its competitors, leaving aside the Gram. So no, it's not "one of the heaviest", or else they (all 16" convertibles besides the Gram) are ALL "one of the heaviest". To me the weight of this Yoga is just perfectly normal for its size. It's the Gram 16T90 that's unbelievably light, not the other way around.


Also, please don't forget that the Gram 16T90P just isn't sold in France. Not at all. It's impossible to get one. We can get one from the UK or from Germany, but then they'll have QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboards instead of the french AZERTY ones. Bottom line : not everyone can buy a Gram convertible right now, sadly.
