associative Yoga 7 14AHP9 LaptopFeaturing an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS APU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, it’s currently on sale for $300 or $599.99 at Best Buy. This is its lowest price ever, but it has sold for that price several times over the past year.
The price point alone may be enough to attract fans of Lenovo’s convertible Yoga form factor, which allows the device to be used as a touchscreen tablet, a standard laptop, or even a standalone tablet/screen for pure viewing purposes. However, the Ryzen 7 8840HS is not a weak APU and can prove to be a capable entry-level gaming performer if you’re willing to make the right compromises on its hardware.
Most of the specific models of Lenovo Yoga 7 14AHP9 on sale are fully equipped. 16GB DDR5-6400 RAM, 1TB NVMe Gen 4 hard drive and integrated Ryzen 7 8840HS APU Radeon The 780M iGPUs all point to the higher end of the available configurations. Unfortunately, the model on sale doesn’t have a 500-nit OLED, instead, this discount model comes with a 400-nit IPS panel. That still looks pretty good, but existing reviews suggest the OLED model will at least be Looks much better. However, that one is more expensive, and (at the time of writing) significantly more expensive Finding actual listings is more complicated.
Regardless, the overall computing experience on offer here should be pretty good. The Lenovo Yoga convertible’s proven form factor makes it an ideal choice for those who want to maximize their laptop’s portability. Ryzen 7 8840HS has 8 Zen 4 CPU cores and 16 threads, running at a maximum frequency of 5.1 GHz. Add in the powerful Radeon 780M iGPU (which was also featured in previous-generation high-end gaming handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme Edition), and you’ve got a workhorse capable of handling most productivity applications.
If you plan on gaming on this device, I recommend using resolution scaling, or FSR, whenever possible when playing modern 3D games. The iGPU is better suited for 720p/800p native rendering rather than this laptop’s full 1920×1200 resolution. Smart resolution scaling and reduced graphics settings should also make it a perfectly adequate gaming laptop, as long as you prioritize playability over pretty graphics.
