Hi. Would you please make a full 10 minute review of the Lenovo 7i 16 inch with i7 12700H Processor and Arc Graphics with benchmarks? I'm especially worried about overheating. There's no full review for the 12700H model anywhere although it's being sold for a while. To give some ideas as to who uses this laptop is teachers. You're focusing on students a lot but forgetting about teachers who have very similar needs to those of students to take or produce notes. Thanks.

[@TheBeautyofMath]

I am not sure who is the target audience either for the Yoga 7i 16 inch, but I know I am part of it. I teach math classes online but from my own house, so I am not worried about portability at all, and the bigger screen gives me more space with which to solve problems on my screen, as I feel for complicated questions I sometimes am running out of screen real estate with my current Dell XPS 15 2-in-1. I really like the Dell XPS, but it is no longer available in anything larger than 14 inch, so I have been doing research, and this video has helped me to decide on the Yoga 7i rather than the 9i, I really appreciate you making this. Thank you.

[@johnrogers1249]

This is literally me right now! Deciding to go with the 16" because I teach math and need more space. You don't find the 16" too big? I'll be commuting with it daily.

[@Jon-pw2ik]

Well than why go for 16 when you could go for..... 17

[@TheBeautyofMath]

@@Jon-pw2ik Because they don't make a Yoga 9i 2-in-1 laptop in that size. I need a 2-in-1 to fold it in half to be tablet mode, but also to unfold and use as laptop.

[@TheBeautyofMath]

@@johnrogers1249 I actually haven't even had a chance to test it. When I bought this one it was on sale for Christmas or Black Friday or something for like $700 off. I needed a backup just in case my Dell has issues which it has occasionally beyond it overheating. Unfortunately Lenovo was all out of their stylus pen and could not get me a pen until end of January. So I had the computer for 2 months and unable to use it for it's intended purpose. Since I got the pen, I have just been too busy to set it up, as I film for my channel also, and then have a lot of client consultations and general life responsibilities. But I think I will try and set it up this weekend, make sure it works, and that the stylus pen works well. My personal opinion though. I had a 40 pound backpack I walked a quarter mile to the bus stop with as a kid. I feel like as an adult...I could probably use the added exercise of carrying whatever additional weight it represents. Every calorie burned and bit of strength maintained is a valuable outcome in my opinion. So it wouldn't bother me even if it felt heavy at first. I'd see it as a blessing and work to become stronger so that it didn't feel heavy. *shrugs* did you get one? Do you feel it was bothersome commuting with it?

[@ganeshb6018]

Can you compare it to Samsung galaxy 360 pro 2

[@6Ligma]

Lenovo yoga 7i 16 inch, has two versions: one with 12700h and another with 1260p. I was eyeing the one with 12700h and arc gpu, but I've heard there are tremendous amount of driver issues and bugs in the arc graphics. It's a shame that Lenovo didn't release this with AMD soc, like 6800u. One question : was the note taking experience satisfactory? I see a slight delay when you put the pen on screen and when the line appears. Wasn't it off-putting?

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Note taking experience on these laptops doesn't match Ipad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. But the slight delay isn't really an issue. More important factors are palm rejection and pressure sensitivity, which work really well on these laptops.

[@6Ligma]

@@RealTechnoPanda Thank you. One last question, do you know another 2-in-1 which has a numpad?(other than yoga 7i 16")

Just confirming the 16 inch version doesn't come with a stylus. Our Arc version has been stable for us, but definitely hoping new drivers draw out more performance in the future. We don't do any graphic design stuff. Haven't tried editing on that machine yet. Mostly bought it for wife as a semi desktop. We got a great deal on an open box when these were on sale for $400 off.
