The new Yoga 7i 16 2-in-1 just dipped to an affordable $769 ahead of Black Friday

I love a good 2-in-1 laptop, particularly Lenovo's Yoga 2-in-1 series. In fact, my daily driver laptop for years has been the Yoga 9i OLED 2-in-1, and I absolutely love it.

Today's deal isn't for my daily laptop configuration (though you can pick up a Yoga 9i OLED 2-in-1 for just $1,299 right now) but for an even more affordable configuration from Lenovo's Yoga 7i series.

It's true, you can pick up a 16-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 through Lenovo for only $769.

When you read these specs, you'll be even more amazed at how low Lenovo has priced this laptop for Black Friday.

It's equipped with Intel's Core Ultra 5 125U processor, which performed well during tests in our 16-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 review. Although its 9,415 Geekbench 6.1 score fell a bit short of the premium laptop average, the laptop "kept up well and never felt sluggish," even with 10+ browser tabs open, Laptop Mag reported then.

This Lenovo Yoga 7i config also features 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a 16-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS touchscreen display with 300 nits max brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate. These components worked together to help the laptop last 11 hours and 24 minutes in our battery test, well beyond the premium laptop average of 10 hours and 7 minutes.

The smaller 14-inch Yoga 7i 2-in-1 we reviewed had a similarly impressive battery life, lasting 12 hours and 57 minutes. In this review, we also positively noted the laptop's "minimalist aesthetic that never fails to please," silky trackpad, and "clicky, satisfying, and well-sized" keyboard. You'll find all of those same features on the larger 16-inch model.

All in all, the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is an excellent pick if you're stuck between getting a laptop and a tablet. It performs well, lasts quite a while on a single charge, and its keyboard offers a rewarding typing experience.
