The other day while I was scrolling through Lenovo Community, the doorbell rang. When I opened the door there stood a UPS delivery person. He handed me a Lenovo box and said, \u201cI have a surprise for you.\u201d He certainly did.\u00a0 The first thing that came into my mind was to say, \u201cThat was quick!\u201d He looked puzzled, but it was as if a Yoga jumped off the website and into the hands of the UPS driver standing in front of me. Obviously, I was not expecting it; however I am always excited to review products that are sent to Lenovo Insiders and Lenovo Advocates. \u00a0This device was sent as part of the Lenovo Insiders program and did not provide additional compensation. All opinions are my own.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trying to be neat in opening a box that makes us feel like a kid on Christmas Morning is always a challenge.\u00a0 Fortunately, I managed to open and unpack this one pretty well so that I could get a photo of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My first impression was that this unit, introduced by Lenovo in October 2021, was designed for ease of mobility and with style in mind. Its Slate Gray metal case is light, sleek, and comfortable to handle.\u00a0 Considering that it is a Yoga it features a 360-degree hinge allowing laptop\/tent\/tablet modes.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in ordering a Yoga 7i, depending on how you \u201cbuild\u201d your model. Your specs may be different from this review unit. These specs are what I found on the unit that I received:<\/p>\n

* Processor<\/strong> 11th Generation Intel\u00ae Core™ i7-1165G7 Processor (2.80 GHz, up to 4.70 GHz with Turbo \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Boost, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 12 MB Cache)<\/p>\n

* Operating System\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0Windows 11 Home 64<\/p>\n

* \u00a0Camera<\/strong> 720p HD<\/p>\n

Usage Impressions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that I have installed my favorite everyday apps, I can say that this is a very comfortable device to use. However, I prefer to have at least one USB port on the left where I can use a hub if needed, because occasionally I use an external mouse along with thumb drives for graphics work. On a Yoga, I miss the ThinkPad Trackpoint that I am used to but I try to be flexible for testing purposes. Having the number keypad on the right is a different Yoga experience for me as well. One thing that I really enjoy as an artist is the glossy display and vibrant colors.\u00a0 Whenever I receive a new computer, one of the first things I do as an administrator is to configure a few settings using Group Policy.\u00a0 The Home version of Windows 11 does not offer that.\u00a0 For that reason, at some point I will be upgrading to Windows Pro for extra security and flexibility, but for now the Windows 11 Home version can suffice.<\/p>\n

In conclusion I feel that the Yoga 7i is a good machine for anyone on the go. The audio is clear which is evidence of good speakers and the display\u2019s colors are outstanding. I love the glossy screen with its thin bezel. The color, size, and thinness produce a feel of premium quality. The Yoga 7i has run all my applications flawlessly. \u00a0From my experience with this unit, I feel that anyone who purchases the 7i will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n
