The Yoga 7 2-in-1 16ILL10 may look like just a simple processor update over last year's Yoga 7 2-in-1 16IML9, but it actually carries several other changes that really improve the usability of the 16-inch convertible.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Yoga-7-2-in-1-16ILL10-review-Minor-updates-in-all-the-right-places.1010649.0.html
What is that small black M.2 card next to the CPU?
60 Hz is bad enough, but this? Shame on you LENOVO.

Also, no way in hell I would get 16 GB RAM anymore, I want to be able to host my own, decent, LLMs, like Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf (18.63GB - doesn't fit into RAM), Qwen3-32B-Q4_K_M.gguf (19.76GB - doesn't fit into RAM)..16GB RAM aren't going to be enough to even run Qwen3-14B-Q4_K_M.gguf (9 GB), since the OS uses a good chunk of the 16GB RAM already.
Thanks for the review but i have a few points:
1)The numbers of the maximum temps seem to be inconsistently reported: the pictures relative to the stress test's temp are different from the numbers of the max load temps in the temperatures table.
This is not the only review where i noticed this.
2) why not including also wifi test temperatures. I think it s very relevant for a user to know the temperatures during a typical usage
3) why not including pictures and description of the hinges at the screen level? Especially in case of convertibles this makes such a huge difference in terms of Durability. An old lenovo yoga 730 i fixed had them GLUED with an adhesive!!!!

Yeah, I came here to ask the same thing! What is that card on the third slot?

*Real-world battery life is typically 25-45% shorter than the tested runtimes when factoring-in full display brightness of 300-450 nits (60%+ shorter at 600 nits), operation on "balanced" power mode, and 10% battery degradation within a year as Notebookcheck conducts WLAN/WiFi benchmarks on each model at 150 nits with "activated power-saving measures" while "ultralight web browsing".
