Title: Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16AGP11 review: Latest AMD Ryzen AI 7 refresh lags behind Intel
Post by: Redaktion on March 27, 2026, 20:36:47
The Yoga 7 2-in-1 16 is back for 2026 with the exact same external design as the original 2023 model. Instead, new CPU and display options help to distinguish this latest model from earlier configurations — sometimes for the worst.

can u test Steel Nomad, it's the official successor to Time Spy

this particular iGPU is too slow, needs to be at least twice as fast to consider this

this is a RDNA3.5 iGPU and RDNA3.5 does not support DLSS-like hardware ML quality upscaling and still no official FSR4 INT8 support from AMD despite it being better than what is officially supported:
youtube.com/watch?v=VPMOjdvmHMk "FSR4 on RDNA3 on Windows!!! How To Guide and Side by Sides Tested on RX 7800 XT"
youtube.com/watch?v=yB0qmTCzrmI "AMD Tried To Hide This From You - FSR 4 INT8 on RDNA 3 & 2 Tested"
youtube.com/watch?v=v70p700D94U And here Owen shows that even AMD's /r/radeon hardcore crowd is starting to get pissed off on AMD (and righteously so, of course).

also, for a 16 inch yoga usage device, and without a dedicated GPU, 3.97 pounds is kinda heavy

below 300 nits glossy OLED? u joking (300 nits glossy OLED = 250 matte IPS)

u don't think this is true? well, the chassis is from 2023 (if not older) and this is how it's in 2026: notebookcheck.net/Less-than-1-2-kg-LG-releases-lightweight-new-16-inch-laptop-with-120-Hz-OLED-display.1260808.0.html

Nobody's stopping you. Pricing aren't even that bad for apple compared to everyone else.

For the rest of us, macOS will forever remain a major no due to not running the apps we need and even when they do, major compatibility and performance issues.
