Our Verdict
Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021)
Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 (2023)
The Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 (2023) is better than the Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021) for most uses. While the newer 16-inch model isn't as portable, it does have a larger and sharper display for multitasking. The screen also gets brighter to combat glare, and its factory calibration is significantly better, making it suitable for color work like photo editing. The 16-inch model has a wider port selection, as it includes an additional USB-A port, an HDMI, and a MicroSD card reader. Performance-wise, the 16-inch model is available with newer and faster Intel 13th Gen CPUs, but it throttles more under load. Battery life is much better on the 14-inch model, lasting almost three hours longer.
