Are there any alternatives?

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is another 14-inch laptop in the same price range as the Yoga. Its display isn’t nearly as good, and its performance and battery life can’t keep up.

　　If you don’t need the flexibility of a 2-in-1, then the HP Pavilion Plus 14 is a solid alternative. You’ll get a laptop with similar performance, if not a little faster in some applications, along with a 90Hz OLED display that’s simply spectacular. Battery life isn’t even close, though.

　　Finally, I can’t help but mention the Apple MacBook Air M2. It’s a bit more expensive, but it provides even better build quality with superior performance and vastly better battery life.

　　

How long will it last?

The Yoga 7i Gen 7 is built like a tank and will last for years. Its components are up-to-date and will run Windows 11 for just as long. We always lament the industry-standard one-year warranty.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The Yoga 7i Gen 7 is one of the best 14-inch 2-in-1s you can buy. If you want the best possible display, hold out for the OLED version coming soon.
