Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo Yoga 7 16IRL8 (82YN002NFR)
Open 360° to convert into a Tablet, this 2-in-1 laptop has an elegant and discreet look while being original with its thin dark silver Storm Gray design, relatively light and robust due to its compliance with the MIL military resistance standard -STD-810H.
Multi-touch technology equips the screen: by simply placing at least one finger on it, by pressure/gestures, it is possible to interact with the system and the software.
As it is tactile, the screen is glossy which gives punch to the colors but implies sensitivity to reflections in a bright environment (eg outside).
The screen also stands out with its 16/10th format displaying more information in height than the classic 16/9th. Its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, are important thanks to its IPS technology, however not high-end since the colorimetry here is classic. The screen is also suitable for High Definition content such as videos because of its Full HD definition.
Those who wish to authenticate themselves biometrically using Windows Hello technology will be delighted to find a 2-factor solution integrated here.
It consists of a fingerprint reader and an infrared webcam allowing facial recognition.
The chiclet keyboard is adorned with a practical backlighting solution for the keys in order to better discern them in the event of limited ambient light.
This versatile hybrid Ultrabook incorporates good connectivity including no less than 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, HDMI video output useful for easily connecting it to a TV or a monitor for example, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB peripherals 3.0 are plugged into it.
Performances, autonomie du Lenovo Yoga 7 16IRL8 (82YN002NFR)
The Lenovo Yoga 7 16IRL8 (82YN002NFR) is a stylish, tablet-convertible comfort-size laptop designed for everyday general-purpose use.
It will be of particular interest to some looking for a student laptop because it can last about 10 hours on battery power in light use. Due to its 16-inch format, it is very comfortable to use but not the most easily transportable there is, even if its contained weight and its finesse clearly represent assets in this area.
Built around 16 GB of RAM and a low-power Raptor Lake hybrid Core i5-1335U processor, this 2-in-1 Ultrabook delivers good performance in everyday use and modest gaming.
The hybrid Core i5-1335U, which deploys its full potential under software using multicore, houses within it the Iris Xe graphics solution thanks to which you can watch photos and videos but also play. It is associated with 8 GB of standard RAM which cannot however be increased since the RAM is welded here and no slot is free.
In terms of storage, Lenovo opts for an SSD that rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being quiet, less energy-consuming, more robust and much faster.
In practice, the SSD thus guarantees much better fluidity and responsiveness in use than a simple hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, the starts/stops, processing and launching of software are therefore carried out more quickly, for example, and you can get to the cards of online games more quickly.
In the event that 512 GB would be too tight, you can nevertheless use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C / Thunderbolt device then represents an interesting option for obtaining fast transfers.
Finally, on the autonomy side while waiting for more complete tests, expect around 9 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile hybrid 2-in-1 Ultrabook convertible into an easy-to-carry tablet thanks to its lightness, compactness and finesse.
