The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 Gen 10 isn't a perfect laptop, but neither is the premium Yoga 9i. But they're both built from the same common core, the essence of what a Yoga means. You can get a very similar experience for a more affordable price with the Yoga 7, and sometimes, that's all that matters.
The Yoga 7 isn't quite as sleek, but the display quality is fantastic, the sound system is superb, and the typing feel is as premium as you'd expect from a Lenovo laptop. And really, that's what matters to most users. You don't need the best laptop in the world to get your work done, but it helps when your daily device looks as good as this and feels good to touch.
About this review: Lenovo loaned us a Yoga 7 2-in-1 for review. The company did not have input in this article and did not see its contents before publishing.
Operating System Windows 11
CPU AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 or AMD Ryzen AI 7 350
Lenovo's Yoga 7 2-in-1 builds on last year's success, adding the latest AMD Ryzen AI processors and dropping the IPS option so you get OLED across the board. It's got everything I'd expect from a Lenovo, including a touchpad and keyboard suited to heavy use, and a stylish design that looks great and feels better.
Pros & Cons
- AMD Ryzen AI is powerful and light on the battery
- 2-in-1 design with a hinge that feels great
- Priced competitively
- Can take a while to charge
- Yoga Pen not always included in every configuration
- Slick coating on the keys
Pricing and availability of the Yoga 7 2-in-1
The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14" Gen 10 was announced at MWC in March 2025, with up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, and was available to buy shortly afterward. At the time, it had an expected MSRP of $900, but economic conditions have shifted that upward, so it's now $1000 to start with. The only configurations making their way to the U.S. come in Seashell, and have a 1920x1200 OLED panel with a respectable 400 peak nits of brightness and 60Hz refresh rate.
That's a shame because other regions get the signature Tidal Teal color and the option of a significantly brighter 2.8K, 120Hz OLED display or an IPS display that seems pretty lackluster from the specifications. Maybe those models will come over the Atlantic one day, but until then, the standard OLED display is very good, indeed.

Everything you'd expect from a Lenovo
The keyboard is pleasant to type on and it oozes charm
The slightly pealescent color on the U.S. version is called Seashell, and it's a nice change from the sea of gray and black midrange laptops. Seriously, there's no reason to jealously keep the colorful shells to the premium models, and the playful tones make it nice to look at from every angle. The edges are all rounded off, which helps when you want to hold it and take notes, and the hinge should be the benchmark for convertibles because so many other brands get it wrong.
The keyboard has a similar off-white coating, and is every bit as comfortable to type on as you'd expect from Lenovo, with one minor exception. The hard-wearing coating on the keys that's designed to make them more durable when in tablet or sketching mode is slightly slippery, making me typo more than I usually do. The touchpad is Mylar instead of glass, but it feels very similar and will probably be less likely to break if you drop it.

It rocks on video calls
Four noise-canceling mics, a banger webcam and great speakers
We use a ton of different webcams at XDA, and the best inbuilt ones tend to be on HP's premium ranges, and those from Lenovo. The 5MP IR webcam has got me through multiple business meetings, with the NPU keeping me in-frame with seamless background replacement and a decent job of my skin tones. Many other midrange webcams either look washed out or make me look redfaced, and I'm glad to report neither happened here.
And the audio system? Superb, with four speakers that are wonderfully tuned to not distort even at high volume, and the other people at the other end of calls had no issue hearing me with four microphones picking up my voice. You couldn't ask for a better setup in this market segment, and it's perfect for using voice notes or Copilot if you want to take advantage of the NPU for other tasks.

Seriously, every CPU in a laptop nowadays is a belter
Whenever dealing with a midrange device, it's important to temper expectations somewhat. At least, it would be in any other year, but this year, every CPU maker has knocked it out of the park on mobile, with powerful performance in every way. The Gen 10 Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 performance is up to almost anything you could throw at it, keeping up with Intel's Lunar Lake, Apple's M3, and everything else I've had my hands on lately.
Graphics programs might show weak spots depending on how far you try to push things, but that's to be expected. It's not a gaming powerhouse, as the integrated GPU isn't up to the task, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to knock out a few ARAMs or bash through some lighter gaming in your spare time.

There was one blip while benchmarking, and that was the laptop's thermal performance. It liked to boost to 95C and then throttle down somewhat to stay under that temperature, and the only time it didn't get hot was when I was sitting next to a blowing fan pushing the AC's airstream at the laptop.
The good news is that only the section above the keyboard got hot, with the keyboard and touchpad still cool to the touch. I'd like to see better thermal handling, but it's still usable at that point, and the high temperatures were only after extended benchmarks had been running.
Power without compromise
Midrange laptops often come with midrange battery life, where something has to go in order to get the performance numbers up. The OLED screen doesn't help either, as they do tend to draw a little more juice than IPS, but it's worth the tradeoff here. I still regularly got through my daily workload with plenty of spare, and i could probably eke out a second day if I turned wireless communications off.
Using the Procyon office battery life tests, it managed 10 hours and 58 minutes, constantly opening spreadsheets, presentations, and emails. Honestly, I can't work that fast for that long, and this battery will outpace your needs for general computing.

Nothing should come without OLED
This screen is sublime and FHD+ is fine, really
I've tested dozens of screens in the last year, and not many laptop panels that sit on my desk measure up quite like this one. It's gorgeous to look at from every angle, with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and whites and highlights that don't tend towards the warmer end of the spectrum. It hits the 2.2 gamma target out of the box, peaks at 411 nits in SDR, and has one of the better uniformity readings of the year, with some areas being bang-on, while the rest average at 1 deltaE.
This is a very watchable screen, whether in video conferences, catching up on Netflix, or browsing the web.
It covers 100% sRGB, 95% AdobeRGB, 100% P3, 93% NTSC, and that's before calibration brought those numbers up to 98% AdobeRGB and 96% NTSC. White point deviance was less than 0.5 deltaE, and 0.2 away from 50% gray. This is a very watchable screen, whether in video conferences, catching up on Netflix, or browsing the web. The only thing that annoys me is the 60Hz refresh rate, but that's a minor annoyance with how good the panel is overall.

Should you buy the Lenovo Yoga 7 (2025, 14-inch)?
You should buy the Lenovo Yoga 7 (2025, 14-inch) if:
- You want a capable and affordable laptop
- You like to sketch
- You want OLED
You should NOT buy the Lenovo Yoga 7 (2025, 14-inch) if:
- You prefer IPS displays
- You need USB4 or Thunderbolt for connectivity
- You need something more powerful
If you're buying a midrange laptop and like the promise of versatility from a convertible, this is the one to get. We also said last year's model was the best midranger, and it's made better by the OLED being the only available configuration in the U.S. Elsewhere, you should still skip the IPS panel (it's not good), but you could go for the 2.8K OLED if you want higher resolution and a faster refresh rate.
If you're buying a midrange laptop and like the promise of versatility from a convertible, this is the one to get.
Lenovo's pricing is constantly shifting, but as tested, you can get this laptop for under $930 directly from the manufacturer, an even better value than last year's model. How often can you say that the new thing is cheaper than the old one, especially during economic uncertainty? You'll want the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 variant; the 340 version has a weaker GPU and is overall slower, but they have the same typing feel and a touchpad that feels like it's glass (it's not) and nails the basics that anyone could ask from a midrange device.
