Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (14″, 2023) review – takes on the 14-inch MacBook Pro
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.
Average core frequency (base frequency + X); CPU temp.
| AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (45W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (14″, 2023) | 3.79 GHz @ 73°C @ 52W | 3.75 GHz @ 81°C @ 52W | 3.74 GHz @ 89°C @ 52W |
We are pretty happy with the clock speeds of this laptop’s CPU. It tends to run a little warm towards the end of this test, but it is expected, considering the “Extreme Performance” preset we selected through the Vantage app.

This ever-so-weird iteration of the RTX 3050 works pretty fine. Although it sits 5W lower than its TGP limit of 63W, there is more headroom for overclocking – yes the Vantage app offers an OC function of both the core and the memory.
Comfort during combined load
In order to give you the best performance possible, the two fans are spinning really fast. This produces a good amount of noise during extreme workloads or gaming. In addition, the maximum temperature on the keyboard is not too high.
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. This device’s 73Wh battery pack lasts for 11 hours and 58 minutes of Web browsing, or 9 hours and 10 minutes of video playback.
Brightness: 180 nits; Display Mode: SDR
Time to Full Discharge: Higher is Better
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.

Yoga brand outside of the US can either be clamshell or convertible. Currently, to distinguish between the two, the Pro (or Slim Pro) moniker applies to the clamshell version like this one, Yoga Pro 7. In the US it’s just Yoga for convertible and Slim for clamshell period – no need for the confusion like elsewhere.
The US is not the centre of the world. If it’s only like that in the US, then too bad for you, but the rest of us have to deal with how it’s being named so these reviews using the global naming schemes is fundamentally correct.
Soldered ram, so what? Almost every laptop out there has soldered rams these days. 16GB is still more than enough. I never use more than 7GB with heavy work. And who needs an SD card reader these days?
You never talked about upgrade options in the upgrade options section! How large of an m.2 disk will it take?
