[@edosilva4173]

By coincidence, I've had these two devices. I bought the Yoga 7i, I kept it for about one month, but it had a defect, and luckily I could get a refund and bought the HP Envy x360. The pen of my Yoga 7i didn't work properly, it was a problem on the screen. It was a great computer apart from that. The thing that bothered me the most was that the frame near the hinges is a bit loose, it bends a bit and makes a little cracking wiggling noise when pressed. Other things to consider: few ports, bigger and a bit heavier compared to the HP. So far, I have no regrets changing for the HP Envy - I love the design and how compact it is. I'm only afraid of the hinges, which have a bad reputation. A major problem: you can't easily turn on the device on tablet mode! I use it as a tablet a lot, and this was very frustrating! But problem solved, I made a video in my channel teaching how to turn it on and wake it up on tablet mode - it's a secret that few people know.

[@TechThatOut]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Would you or someone else here be able to tell how it compares to the 9i? Because if the differences are this small I don't think I would spend 500€ more .... :o

Mi mama me compro el 7i de este año y como toco enviarlo de un pais a otro pense que se habia golpeado lo digo por lo que dijiste: que en medio de las bisagras era un poco flojo y si se precionaba con algo de fuerza no era solido sin mencionar ese sonidito que se me preocupaba ahora veo que es algo de fabrica no solo del mio asi que estoy mas tranquilo

Great review, thanks so much! I actually bought the Envy x360 13 in Nov. 2020 (Ryzen 4500u, 16G RAM, 512G SSD) - a FANTASTIC value and I love it! A few things worth noting - while the Envy has a 16:9 aspect ratio (the Yoga is 16:10 I think), even though 16:10 is the 'trendy' option these days, the Envy is light (less than three pounds) and easier to travel with (important for me as I travel for business quite a lot). Regarding the size of the keyboard - yes, it is smaller than the Yoga keyboard, no doubt about that.....................however, it's ALSO a better fit than the Yoga for those who have smaller hands - something to keep in mind for prospective buyers. I also agree with you about the unusual placement of the fingerprint scanner, it WAS kind of weird at first - but after about a week of use you get used to it and it becomes a non-issue after that. Ultimately, both machines are quite capable - IMO the Envy is just a better value for the price. Thanks again for the great review!

[@priyankadeb189]

hey jon, how well can your envy run video editing software like filmora X?

This video is very helpful, however I still need help. I love HP and I think it has more accessible service center here in the Philippines than Lenovo. I am planning to buy a laptop and these two are my options, may I ask if which is better for me to use for photoediting, illustrator, and a little bit of video editing. I am a multimedia student. Hope you reply, thank you very much!

[@TechThatOut]

Both these laptops should do the job. HP's Ryzen chip is powerful for processing and getting tasks done with less battery consumption. The Intel chip has better GPU performance. So anything that needs hardware acceleration like rendering would be better on the Lenovo. But your basic work on the timeline will be faster on the HP but export times will be lesser on the Lenovo

[@MrMuBot]

Good stuff!

Thanks for the great review was helpful, one question if it's possible, I need a good laptop for architecture and graphic design that can do the job well, photoshop and adobe programs with a food screen colors. Which one of these are better in your opinion?

[@TechThatOut]

If your use case and applications require more graphics power, Intel is your way to go. If it is primarily or mostly CPU intensive, ryzen is better.

[@drax432]

Super great comparison video! Love it. But there is one thing not mentioned that could be a deal breaker for some user: Lenovo RAM is soldered, hence not upgradable. For me, i am more concerned if soldered RAM failed, whether if lenovo will be able to replace the soldered RAM or expect me to buy a new laptop.

[@TechThatOut]

Both laptops have soldered Ram. Most ultrabooks have the same. But I understand I will mention from next time. As far as I'm aware, Ram failure would be under warranty as it's a part from Lenovo them selves and is a part of the motherboard. I have never seen a Ram failure in a device apart from 8 year old DDR3 physical stick.

[@sripriyasrinivasan3796]

Hi, just a follow up question about the GPU of the Ryzen, you said Intel is comparatively better. So if I want to run ML models, probably a little intensive which processor would you suggest?

[@sripriyasrinivasan3796]

Also could you do a comparison on the HP Envy x360 and the HP Pavilion x360 i5 11th gen model

[@TechThatOut]

Depends if your ML models use GPU uses primarily or not.

[@ainincinnamonrolls]

Thanks for the concise review! I'm looking for a new laptop between the two, since I'm an English major so storage should be big and I want to do some light gaming and editing which one would you recommend?

[@TechThatOut]

Gaming would be better in the Yoga. Whereas rest all is great on the Envy with a smaller and lighter form factor. So decide accordingly. Every laptop has storage options or you can upgrade the SSD yourself or in a shop to make it more economical.

[@ainincinnamonrolls]

@@TechThatOut does the Envy not game? Or does it lag and heat up?

[@TechThatOut]

Firstly that will depend on the game you play. I would just say that the Yoga is better in gaming due to the XE graphics as I mentioned in the video. Envy can game but definitely is not as good as the Yoga.

I can’t find anything either if I am able to upgrade the ram to 32 or 64gb ram size. I will be using for graphic designing, running business website/social media’s and maybe some gaming here and there winding down from life itself in my spare time haha

I'd personally go with Ryzen. Also RAM is not upgradable. It's all soldered on the board.

If you want to game the best experience will be on the Intel variants especially with XE graphics on the 11th Gen. Ryzen will give you better sustained performance with better battery life (if the size of battery is same)

If you want a smaller machine, HP Envy. It also has the best I/O with good battery life given the size. If you value a good keyboard & trackpad with the best integrated graphics, then Lenovo Yoga 7i. Also it has thunderbolt if you have use for it.

[@ammarmemon3129]

I am looking into this laptop and wanted your opinion on the screen being glossy. Is it usable outdoors or in a well lit room or next to a window where there is ample sunlight coming in? That is the only thing holding me back from going ahead with this. I know it goes upto 300 nits which is pretty bright but lots of reflections is something I am concerned about. Thank you.

[@TechThatOut]

These are not the brightest displays for sure. It's bright enough. But reflections will cause issues. It won't be a problem if you're typing documents on a white background. But for media with dark scenes will not be enjoyable at all

It is in some very specific scenarios which are CPU heavy. But heats up a lot and throttles when sustained performance is needed. But yes, the XE Graphics is way better than Radeon. So consider that as well and need for thunderbolt. Only then go with Intel

Hello which one is better for me. My work is content writing, studying, browsing and I'm also planning to learn logo designing. Please let me know :)

Logo designing may become graphics intensive. In that case the Lenovo 7i would be better as it has a better integrated GPU.

[@syedirtiza115]

@@TechThatOut And if I exclude logo designing from my tasks then which one is better?

[@TechThatOut]

I prefer Ryzen based chips as they are more efficient. So they give similar battery life with smaller sized batteries. So that's why the Envy gives similar battery life with a smaller battery and hence is lighter as well. Also Ryzen chips throttle less or don't at all in a lot of laptops. So they are quieter, cooler as well
