There are several iconic designs in the PC space that have attracted many competing clones, and Lenovo is the proud parent of one such design in Lenovo Yoga. The support of 360 ° hinges and mounting proved to be one of the most useful convertible designs, with an uncompromising laptop feel, but added the versatility of tent, tablet and stand modes. Today, Lenovo announces an upgrade of its consumer range of convertible laptops for Yoga, featuring not only new internal but also a new naming scheme.
Lenovo has not yet released a full list of specifications for all models, but both Intel and AMD models will be available. The AMD models will be based on the 4000 series Renoir platform, and since Intel has not formally announced its formal Tiger Lake chips, the Intel models will only be referred to as “next-generation” Intel Core, but with Xe Graphics and Thunderbolt 4 support, there is little doubt that these will be based on Tiger Lake.
Lenovo Yoga 7i
The Lenovo Yoga 7i will be available in both 14 and 15-inch models with a 1920×1080 display featuring Dolby Vision, with the larger 15-inch model also offering VESA DisplayHDR 400. Lenovo has also managed to shrink the edges by 20% compared to the outgoing Yoga C740, and there will be two color choices this year, with the traditional Slate Gray as a Dark Moss finish. Both units offer a color-matched keyboard with backlight, with the larger 15-inch version also printing a number pad.
The 7i has Intel processing, with up to 16 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 1 TB SSD storage. There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports as well for high speed expansion. Despite the shrinking shrinkage, Lenovo has managed to increase the battery capacity to 71 Wh, giving an estimated battery life of 13 hours on the 15.6-inch model, and 16 hours on the 14-inch laptop. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 disconnect.
For sign-up, Lenovo offers a fingerprint reader, and to get to the sign-up faster, there is now a direct boot when the laptop cover is opened. For those who need a stylus, Lenovo also supports an active pen.
Despite all the tech, the new Yoga 7i starts at just $ 849.99, with the larger model starting at $ 799. Availability is expected in November.
Lenovo Yoga 6
Lenovo’s most anticipated AMD-powered yoga is the Yoga 6, which can be equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4700U processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and up to 1TB of SSD storage and Wi-Fi 6. The 13.3-inch laptop weighs in at just 2.9 lbs and offers a 300-nit 1920×1080 display. Featuring the included 60-Wh battery, Lenovo rated the Yoga 6 on a very impressive 18-hour battery life.
However, the design of the Yoga 6 is very interesting, with an ‘Abyss Blue’ color and a very sharp dust cover. It’s a great looking notebook that easily shines out of the crowd.
Lenovo also includes a fingerprint reader, webcam shutter, and the Yoga 6 can also be used with a digital pen.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 will be available starting in October, starting at $ 699.99.
