Hey sorry to be late to respond. I currently don't have my 7i anymore just from some changes that has happened in life. I do plan on grabbing me the new 9i 2022 model, but before I got rid of my previous one, the hinges were perfect. Feedback from others who I know have had. The product were still really good so Lenovo does pretty well with their hinges. It's been a long time since they've had any issues so in the long term view you should be really good.

Hi! I’m a middle school student that wants a laptop mainly for productivity and a bit of Roblox with my siblings here and there. I’m considering buying the Yoga 7i and use a stylus for it but it comes out kind of expensive. Do you think I should buy a Chromebook instead or are Chromebooks not worth it? Most of my work is Chrome based but the bezels on most Chromebooks aren’t ideal since I look to take notes on whatever laptop I get. I think I would really enjoy each machine but I would love your take on it. Thanks!

@EverydayTechSJB Жыл бұрын

Man for a middle school student you're Grammer and English is impressive, you're making me look bad😂 but regardless no, I won't say Chromebooks are not worth it, Play You're very good and very affordable and you can get some really good ones like the Lenovo duet 5 or the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, have great power. Great screens. Great battery and they should be able to play the Android version of Roblox, but I still think Windows is a bit more versatile and we'll have the more robust version of Roblox That's all going to depend on your budget though, or as the Chromebooks will definitely save you money and get you a great experience

I’m a student going into high school and I am looking for a computer that will last me all the way through high school being able to take it to school, work in classrooms with windows, and be able to take it home and play some games (realistically mostly minecraft) at home after (on battery power of course). I’m between this for $699 with 8GB of ram and an acer swift x for $880 with 16GB of ram. Which one would be a better buy? I’m just looking for a laptop with battery life to last the whole day, decent performance in games, last through high school, 13/14 inch, good ports, and durable/nice to the touch/sight.

So while I ultimately like the look and size of the yoga 7 14-in more I got to say currently there's a crazy promotion on the yoga. 6. With the Ryzen 7 16 gigs of RAM and half a terabyte of storage. So if you get it as soon as possible, you can save a lot of money and get insane performance. So I have to go with the yoga six with the rise of 7 at the moment as it's a better value currently. But it won't be that way for long

@@EverydayTechSJB TYSM for your reply! When I checked yesterday, the 7i was on sale for 749 and the 6 was on sale for 649, so they were close. But today it's changed to 949 and 599, respectively. I'm sure the 7i will go on sale again, but I ended up purchasing the 6!! The main thing I was concerned about was AMD chip. Several years ago Intel was universally favored but it seems that Ryzen has changed that. So far I love the 6! Doesn't feel as premium as my old 720/7i, but performance and price are great. Thank you SO much for your input, it helped a lot!
