Is the Yoga 7 good for drawing and note-taking?

Yes. The 360-degree hinge folds flat into tablet mode and the touchscreen responds to pen input, which suits sketching and handwritten notes. A 15.6-inch screen is large to hold, so it works better on a desk than in your lap.

Can it handle gaming?

Only lightly. The Core i7-1165G7 uses integrated Iris Xe graphics, so esports titles and older games run at low settings, but demanding modern games will not.

Does it have Thunderbolt?

Yes. It includes Thunderbolt 4 ports, which carry data, video and power, so you can connect a dock, external monitors or fast storage.

How does it compare with a 14-inch Yoga?

The 15.6-inch model gives you a bigger screen and keyboard, but it is heavier and less comfortable as a tablet. The 14-inch versions are easier to carry and usually last longer on a charge.

Is 12GB of RAM enough?

For browsing, office work, streaming and light photo editing, yes. It is more than the 8GB common on rivals, though heavy video editing or many open virtual machines will want more.

The laptop and its power adapter. A stylus is not included, so buy one separately if you plan to draw or take handwritten notes.

Our take on the Lenovo Yoga 7 15.6" FHD 2-in-1 Touchscreen laptop

The Lenovo Yoga 7 is a 15.6-inch convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge, so it flips between laptop, stand, tent and tablet modes. This configuration pairs an Intel Core i7-1165G7 with 12GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD, and adds Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen suits drawing, note-taking and streaming, but a 15-inch convertible is heavy to hold as a tablet. Against smaller 13- and 14-inch convertibles it gives more screen and a bigger keyboard, while rivals with newer 12th- or 13th-gen chips and OLED panels run faster and look sharper.
