Our Verdict

Framework Laptop 13 (2021)

Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021)

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021) and the Framework Laptop 13 (2021) are both ultraportable Windows laptops with Intel 11th Gen CPUs. However, the Yoga 7i is also a 2-in-1 convertible with a 360-degree hinge, meaning you can also use it as a tablet or in tent mode for presentations or media consumption. On the other hand, the Framework Laptop has a slightly smaller display, but it's sharper and brighter, and its 3:2 aspect ratio gives you more vertical space so that you don't have to scroll as much when reading documents. The Framework laptop has a unique design that makes it easier to upgrade the components, and its modular I/O system lets you swap out the ports on the fly for whatever you need. The Yoga 7i throttles more than the Framework, but its battery lasts much longer.
