Early Black Friday Deal on the Lenovo Yoga 7i Ultra-Portable Laptop
The Yoga 7i is a 16" laptop that weighs in at a mere 3.9 pounds and measures only 0.67" thin. It boasts premium materials, such as a mostly aluminum chassis (the keyboard deck is plastic) and a versatile 16" 1920x1200 IPS display wtih touchscreen capability and a swivel hinge that allows it to be used as a tablet. This particular configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2 CPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X-8533MHz memory, and a 512GB SSD. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and two Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports.
The Intel Ultra 5 Series 2 CPU features Intel Arc graphics
The Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2 226V processor was released in 2024. This is an 4.5GHz (max turbo frequency) 8-core CPU designed to run Windows 11 with Copilot+. It's a capable processor for your every day productivity and multimedia tasks. The processor is also equipped with Intel Arc onboard graphics, which does a serviceable job of playing entry level games but certainly not at the same level as a discrete graphics card TL;DR don't get this laptop for enthusiast gaming needs.
The laptop is a steal at this price
For such a lightweight laptop built with premium materials, a touchscreen convertible display, capable hardware, and current generation connectivity (Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4), all in an ultra-light 4 pound platform, the asking price of $650 is a steal. Let's also not forget just how expensive DDR5 memory is nowadays, and you get a respectable 16GB worth.
