If you’re looking for an affordable and extremely versatile 2 in 1, which is powered by a capable and efficient Intel chip, has very good battery life, a big display, and plenty of ports, check out the Lenovo Yoga 7i 16”.
We’ll discuss the form factor, the available ports, biometric authentication and what I think about the two display options. We’ll then cover battery life, processing power with the various modes (balanced, efficiency and performance). And finally we’ll take a look at the different usage modes, the keyboard, camera and configuration options.

Thank you so much for this thorough review. I just purchased this model 14” from BB. This is the thing: I want to use the tablet feature by taking notes with a stylus pen. I have a dell monitor and docking station. Is there a way that I can display a lecture etc on the monitor while using a note taking app on tablet mode at the same time? Do I need to buy a pc? Should I buy the Lenovo mini docking station? I had the dell monitor (and laptop) for work purposes and don’t want to use my jobs laptop. No room on my work station for another monitor.

Also when you flip the laptop screen full 360, it completely covers the air intake vent of the cooling fan, resulting in choking the air supply and heating the laptop internals...

I got mine with 2.5k screen, a i7-1360P with 1TB SSD for $1,000 CAD (around $750 USD) and I am loving it! I am using it to take notes, work on Google Earth, QGIS, working on assignments and it has been a treat! It definitely does not last nearly as long as my previous base M1 13" MacBook Pro but it definitely can handle a full day of school work. The pen and keyboard are a lot better, overall it was an improvement and I am very happy I got a good deal purchasing it.

Lenovo's wave of mega silent firings in early 2023 were absolutely despicable. They laid off thousands of really great people after posting record profits and bragging about moving up the Forbes list each quarter in their "All Hands" NA org sales meetings to those people that moved the needle for them. They ruined thousands of people's lives who relocated and rented or purchased new homes just to join the US sales organization during the digital boom of the pandemic and increase in business for them, forcing them to lose their homes and become homeless. Their warranty process is atrocious and considered terrible by anyone who has had to deal with service claims on top of this.

After using something like this - a 2 in 1 that can take notes - would you recommend this for a student or a MacBook Air and iPad? I want to be able to hand write notes in ONe Note and you can’t do that with a MacBook.. you’d need a tablet..so that requires an ipad AND a MacBook if you want to go apple.. this device does it all. What do you think is better for students who wnat to type and take handwritten notes in a note taking app? Thanks.
