Title: Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14 review - The almost perfect ultrabook with AMD Zen 3+
Post by: Redaktion on April 21, 2023, 20:20:36
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 14 is a brand-new ultrabook available with either AMD or Intel CPUs and can even be configured with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 40 Series GPU. This, in conjunction with the fantastic keyboard and great IPS display, makes it one of the best compact laptops money can buy right now.

Beautiful work from Lenovo for this masterpiece. And nice review from you guys. Was a pleasant read :)
Is the touchpad made of glass or mylar or plastic.

Looks really interesting. Unfortunately a soldered 16GB RAM is a deal breaker for me :(

Great review! I am definitely putting this one at the very top of my shortlist. Hope I can spare some money to upgrade to it. 32GB of ram would be perfect, tho.

Asus VivoBook S 14 is a very similar laptop with an expandable RAM slot.

I am so disappointed in this laptop. The promise of superior screen quality just isn't true as you can see the pixels (even with my poor eyesight) on the screen and I wanted the very best to be able to edit high-quality photos.

The battery time is also not correct. At best when browsing the internet I get about 2.5 hours.

I also find it to be slow and clunky switching between programs and the cursor regularly locks up and I have to shut the computer down and start up again to rectify the issue.

So unfortunately a big thumbs down from me, I wish I had purchased another Asus :(

Thanks

That's certainly an issue with your device, most probably in the windows installation. Your claim would be understandable if you clean installed Windows 11 and then test the battery life. At minimum this device lasts 4-5 hours with dedicated RTX 3050 graphics while browsing web. Without DGPU, it should easily last 6-7 hours.

Hi do you buy this laptop?
What is the longest battery life you can achieve?
Thankyou
