Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 laptop discount, Digi Mart USA News: An ongoing offer on Best Buy has cut the price of the 16-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 laptop by $350, bringing it down to around $650, according to a Notebookcheck report.
The configuration in the deal is powered by the Core Ultra 5 226V Lunar Lake CPU paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Notebookcheck says that in synthetic multi-threaded benchmarks, this previous-generation chip should keep up with the newer Intel Core 7 350, and it estimates the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 found in many entry-level laptops to be roughly 8% slower.
The report says most casual day-to-day workloads should run easily on the laptop. Users with heavier CPU-intensive tasks may want to spend more on a newer Panther Lake-equipped system, such as the IdeaPad Slim 3i, which was listed at $989.99 on Lenovo at the time of the report.
The 16-inch display has a 1920 x 1200 resolution, touch input and 300 nits of peak brightness, with a 60 Hz refresh rate. Lenovo claims 45% coverage of the NTSC color gamut.
Notebookcheck describes the panel as not especially pixel-dense and not worth highlighting, though usable.
There is no discrete GPU. The integrated Intel Arc 130V graphics can, according to the report, match an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile found in older laptops, making light gaming and casual photo and video editing possible.
Other listed features include a 70 Wh battery, a 512 GB M.2 SSD, a 1080p IR camera, quad 2 W speakers with Dolby Atmos certification, a quad microphone array and a 180-degree hinge for 2-in-1 use.
Notebookcheck notes that retailers may change prices and that the deal may be subject to time restrictions or limited availability. The price was reported as available at the time of writing.
