Lenovo has announced a massive update in its Yoga series with 11th-generation Intel Tiger Lake and AMD Ryzen 4000 series processors. The Lenovo Yoga 7i arrives as a replacement for the Yoga C740 will come in both 14 and 15.6-inch variants that sport bezels 20% smaller than their predecessor. AMD Ryzen 4000 series processors will be available on the Yoga 6, while Intel’s incoming 11th-generation Tiger Lake processors will power Lenovo’s new Yoga 7i series. Point to be noted that both models will offer Tiger Lake CPU options with Thunderbolt 4 and Intel’s much-hyped integrated XE graphics. The Yoga 7i boasts Lenovo’s long-standing flexible 2-in-1 design. The model has up to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB built-in storage, and a larger 70Whr battery.
Lenovo has confirmed that you will get 13 hours of battery life on the larger 15.6-inch model, and 16-hours of battery life on the 14-inch variant. Both 14-inch and 15.6-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i models will ship in November 2020 with starting prices of $849 and $799, respectively. The laptop will be available in Slate Grey or Dark Moss color options. It is important that the Lenovo Yoga 6 will replace the current Yoga C640 with its AMD Ryzen 7 4700U CPU and built-in Radeon graphics. The Yoga 6 is Lenovo’s first convertible to feature a fabric soft-touch exterior similar to Microsoft’s Surface Laptop lineup. The laptop packs a 13.3-inch full HD touchscreen, front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, up to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and 18-hours of battery life.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 will be available from October starting at $699.99 with an optional digital pen. Lenovo also announced a bunch of Yoga Slim laptops, although it doesn’t look like these will be coming to the US. Point to be noted that the 13-inch Yoga Slim 7i and 14-inch Yoga Slim 7i Pro both pack 11th-generation Intel processors, complete with integrated XE graphics. The 14-inch model also has the option to add a GeForce MX GPU, but Lenovo hasn’t yet confirmed which models are supported. The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro is another 14-inch laptop and it will launch in Europe at $1,000/£720. The model comes with an eight-core AMD Ryzen 9 4900H processor.
