Lenovo’s Yoga Pro โ7iโ Gen 10: Intel Edition Prioritizes Display & Features
Lenovo’s โ”Aura โEdition” laptops representโ a close partnership with Intel, a โขtrendโ exemplified by the recently reviewed 14-inch Yoga Pro 7i Gen 10. This model, equipped with an Intel Core Ultraโข 9 285Hโ processor,โ delivers solid CPU and integrated GPU performance. However, testing reveals no notable performance advantage over โคthe AMD-powered version of the same laptop.
The Intel variantโค features โขa 3K resolution OLED touchscreen with a 120Hzโฃ refresh โrate. Image quality โฃis excellent, exceeding the 2.8K panel found in the AMD model in โterms of refreshโค rate,โ brightness, and PWM flicker. This enhanced โdisplay, combined with โฃthe Intelโค processor, does impactโ battery life,โ with the AMD versionโ demonstrating superior endurance, โคparticularly at โขhigher โฃbrightness settings.
Notably,โฃ Lenovo includes an SD card reader only inโค the intel-based Yoga pro โข7iโฃ Gen 10 configurations. This appears to beโ a deliberate design choice, self-reliant of the CPU selection.
Considering these factors,andโค factoring in โขprice,the AMD-equipped Yoga Pro 7i Gen 10 โคpresents a more compelling overallโฃ value. A detailed review of the โฃIntel-basedโ Yoga pro 7i G10 Aura โEdition is available at http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Yoga-Pro-7i-Gen-10-Aura-Edition-review-Multimedia-laptop-with-a-great-OLED-touchscreen.1158702.0.html. The Intel model’s 115-Watt short-term power limit also โpresents aโค challenge for sustainedโฃ performance in the compactโข laptop formโค factor,โ leading to โfan activation under heavy load in the Performance energy profile.
