[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hardware is a 9/10, but Win11 with this display is awkward. Upgraded to this from a 2017 MSI 'gaming' laptop that started to have battery swelling issues. Ended up custom configuring this to the i7/32gb/1tb and whatever the top display option was. This thing is slick. I initially thought the option to fold it back was a gimmick, but I actually find it quite useful if I am just sitting on the couch. The device feels like quality and the display is GREAT! Win11 seems to not like some of the display size/resolution configurations but it's a minor nitpick. The keyboard is nice, wish the arrow keys were full instead of compact but overall, 8/10 on keys. Trackpad is premium, smooth, and has the satisfying clicks when depressed. This is a business workhorse and works very well with two external 32" monitors passed through a lightning dock for a full desktop triple screen experience. I don't plan to play games on it, and it wasn't the intended purchase decision but soft games or anything streamed shouldn't be an issue. This is clearly aimed at work-from-home, or office-to-home workers that need a quality less corporate-mass-produced machine that can accomplish any task thrown out it from a business standpoint/use case. Would I edit movies or music on? No, probably not. Could it? Yes. Ideal use cases are people in clerical, accounting, law, customer-centric, data input, data driven fields. If you need a commuter, this device is it. If you need to run business specific apps, this is your machine. Want to turn work off and have a great streaming device, this is it. I would be willing to develop software on this too, but under the guise that most of the code I develop would probably be cloud native and deployed to Azure - not run locally. I think large scale development might be a bit much, but the capabilities are there if you need them.
I think this is the perfect work-school-home device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a user of yoga 7i -14" and I was waiting for this particular device types that combine the best of both worlds, a 2 in 1 with great performance and a dedicated graphic card. It's been 2 weeks since I received the product and using it extensively for all my course works and engineering tools, Apart from being bulky enough (I know what I was getting into) and a fingerprint magnet, the device is stunning to use and met my expectations in almost everything. The screen could have been even better to make the perfect score(would be great to see an OLED variant).
I hope the device doesn't disappoint with me in the near future and I'll update the review if anything changes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is, by far, my favorite laptop I ever had. Can not beat the practical design and of course the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well-built system and a pretty useful resolution for the screen size, and plenty bright. Ubuntu installs fairly easily, though X11 currently functions better than Wayland with regard to tablet mode. Sound requires some help to not sound tinny, but then sounds better than I'm used to. Camera works just fine, no problems.
The port selection is really good, though the USB-C charging port seems oddly placed close to the middle of the left side. Battery life is much better than I'm used to. The trackpad size is good, but it is really too far to the left of center.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Lenovo Yoga and I am extremely pleased with all aspects of this computer. I use up to three screens at one time and the larger screen is just what I needed. It was simple to transfer my files from the first Yoga to my new one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop that is easy to use. Awesome video/audio quality for those still doing telework. Feels durable yet isn’t too heavy or inflexible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop has is a great performer for non-gaming applications. The battery life is surprisingly good for a laptop with a 16" screen and an intel processor. The only gripe that I have is with the keyboard. Since it has the ten key it shifts the keyboard to the left and makes it easy to hit the NumLock and 4 key on the num pad.
