Review of Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i - Light Laptop for Creator Content
Lenovo 7i duet yoga made by Lenovo for creator content that requires a portable laptop. The first author reviewed a laptop like this which was not specifically for gaming.
Even though it's not special gaming, but this laptop is still suitable for gamers. We can see today many gamers also penetrate creator content. And it can be a device that this creator content uses when playing games with video editing, for example, it's different.
This Lenovo Yoga Duiet 7i laptop can be one of the answers to such needs.
ExGamesPlay gets the opportunity to review while trying Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i. Check out the following Lenovo yoga duet 7i review.
Portable, thin, and solid
Because it was created for creator content but also prioritized devices that were easily moved, Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i only weighted 1.19kg if with the keyboard.
Design, this laptop is minimalist with a gray that seems small but premium because of the top-class building.
The specifications of the author received namely: Intel Core i7-10510U (1.8 GHz, up to 4.9 GHz), Intel UHD Graphics, 16GB DDR4-2666MHz, and 512GB SSD NVMe for storage.
Clear screen
The Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i screen has been touchscreen measuring 13" that has a thin bezel. The panel itself has been carrying a 2K IPS in the Color Pallete 100% SRGB. His brightness is at 300 nits.
Besides being touchscreen, we can rotate up to 360 degrees that make it very possible.
Lenovo provides a pencil for the touchscreen named E-Color Pen that has a shape like a pencil. It's just that the highly regretted the author is e-Color Pen can't be placed to the side of the laptop screen. As a result, we have to carry the pencils separately.
Color Pen has 3 buttons whose button function can adjust the needs of each user. The settings button can you change through the Lenovo Pen Settings software on the laptop.
When the author tries to draw a mountain scene in elementary school children through this laptop feels like he is drawing on real paper. It is thanks to the e-color pen that has a solid and not thin alias fat so make the writer feel like holding a real pencil.
From here, to make content to watch movies, the laptop screen is assisted by e-Color Pen very supportive to do both of these activities.
The author has tried himself to watch high-dative videos through a laptop and indeed the screen can produce color well.
At the top of the screen, there is a front camera. According to the author, the interests such as online meetings can be fulfilled due to video capture/image of a fairly natural camera.
The Bluetooth keyboard that can be removed
Then the Lenovo Yoga duet 7i keyboard as a whole has a solid quality building that has brought Bluetooth 5.0. Different from the upper part of the surface of aluminum, the keyboard base of the labeled fabric is gray-filled denim fabric.
The keyboard button is a total of 80 buttons. Feel the typing button is similar to the Lenovo Legion 7i / Slim 7i series before.
Snappy Input Can the author feel when typing even, unfortunately, the arrow button up and down on this keyboard is cut off. But the button has a surface that feels premium and smooth.
The white backlit keyboard only has 2 levels by pressing the FN + Spacebar button. Useful enough to type when a dark day.
The laptop touchpad is right below the rather large size space button.
Then with Bluetooth technology, the keyboard can remove easily and put back quickly because the connecting magnet is strong. But unfortunately, the keyboard hinges are also made of cloth so they can't stand upright.
The solution to stand upright is on the stand that we can open on the back of the screen. We can tilt the stand up to 135 degrees which the stand hinges are quite heavy when the author moves. The size of this stand also occupies 40% of the size of the back of the screen.
The back of the screen is a yoga logo on the top left and the rear camera is located right in the middle.
Port laptop
The laptop port is on 2 parts, the right and left screen.
On the right, there is a port for USB 3.2 Type-C. Besides the port, the button for power and volume is found in this section.
Continue to the left. Port 2x USB 3.2 Type-C Thunderbolt, SD Card Reader, and Audio Jack are in this section. The port for power itself is located at the bottom. Seeing the SD card reader did prove that this laptop was made specifically for creator content.
Besides the port, audio speakers powered by Dolby Audio are on the side of the top screen. The results of the voice that this laptop speaker produced indeed the minimum bass but still bright. His voice was clear to listen to music or watch movies.
Battery
Because before it was mentioned about the port for the power, let's discuss the laptop battery.
The laptop battery uses 4cell 42Wh which holds up to 10 hours more or less when entering Battery Safer mode.
Question charger, this laptop charger adapter is as small as laptops using USB type-c.
Make content through a thin laptop
With the previous specifications, the author mentioned, then the author tried this laptop to benchmarking and making 3D content.
Results for Cinebench R20:
- 1004 (multi-core)
- 375 (Single Core)
And for Cinebench R15:
- 441 (Multi-Core)
- 147 (Single Core)
Next for the BMW scene rendering with a 3D blender getting 15 minutes and 39 seconds.
From these results, this laptop is qualified to carry out activities or work creation of your content. The temperature when testing is also stable in the range of 55 degrees Celsius based on Hwmonitor data. But when the author touches the screen, almost completely hot unless there is a warm feeling at the top of the screen.
