Our Verdict

Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021)

Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (2023)

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 (2021) and the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (2023) are both productivity-focused 2-in-1 convertibles. The Dell is better overall; it has a sturdier build, a larger and brighter display, a larger touchpad, a better webcam, and a wider port selection. It also performs better, as it's available with newer, faster AMD Ryzen 7030 series CPUs. The Lenovo has longer battery life, though both laptops can comfortably last through a typical workday of light use.
