How is it deceptive? Is the product description on Lenovo's site claiming it a Zen 4 device? If you're trying to buy this or any other device, it's up to you to do the research into what you're buying...

Is it really hard for them to have this laptop's name consistent with the rest of the lineup (i.e. naming it Yoga 3 instead of awkwardly "higher" 13w)?

It is going to be sold as 'the latest 7000 series' rather than zen 3 or zen 4.
It's even worse than how they used to say 'with i7' rather than specifying the code, because 7000 series has different architectures in it.
How many people do you expect to know enough to try research this considering that most laymen are limited to i7 > i5 'knowledge' with i9 being 'too much for me'?
