Are there any alternatives?

The HP Spectre x360 13 is a strong alternative to the Yoga 7i despite the smaller display. It’s more striking in its appearance, it’s quite a bit smaller and lighter, and it has a much better keyboard. We’ll have to wait until we receive a Tiger Lake version, though, to see how it performs.

　　The Dell XPS 13 9310 is another strong competitor, again albeit with a smaller display — it’s a bit closer in size, though, given its 13.4-inch dimensions and 16:10 aspect ratio. The XPS 13 is just as well-built, has a much better display, and not surprisingly, will cost you more money.

　　

How long will it last?

The Lenovo Yoga 7i is as well-built as you’ll find in this price range, and it should last you for years of service. Its components are modern and should keep you up to date as well. Just remember to buy an extended warranty if the standard 1-year warranty doesn’t cut it.

　　

Should you buy it?

No. There are better options for the same or just a little more money.
