Lenovo Yoga 7i (14″, 2023) review – capable and stable convertible


Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life

Max CPU load

In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

The Yoga 7i (14″, 2023) performs better than the Yoga 9 in short loads, but the tables turn when we reach medium and long loads. The temperature profile is very similar, but the Yoga 7i runs at a 6W lower power limit at the end of the test.

Comfort during full load

On the bright side, the laptop remains pretty quiet during the entire test. Plus, its keyboard doesn’t get too hot either.

Battery

Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.
