$800 to $1,500 – the mainstream picks

The two Yoga 7i listings share the same processor, memory and storage. The difference is the screen – 14-inch OLED or 16-inch IPS. Pick on how you will use it. OLED is the better choice for video. The 16-inch panel is the better choice if you work with spreadsheets side by side.

Laptop and desktop graphics cards that share a name are not the same chip. A laptop RTX 5060 runs at lower power than a desktop RTX 5060, so a desktop’s frame rates should not be assumed equal to the Legion’s. Our gaming PC comparison guide walks through the checks that matter – power supply, cooling, and what is actually in the box.

How to read these discounts

Lenovo’s comparison figure is its own “Estimated Value,” and Dell’s is a figure Dell describes as an estimate from third-party retailer prices. Neither is a price the seller previously charged, so a 40% discount against an Estimated Value overstates what you save against the usual selling price. The honest check is to search the exact model number elsewhere. Several Lenovo and Dell configurations are only sold direct, in which case the Estimated Value is the only comparison and the rating and specs matter more than the percent.

Ratings in the table come from the seller’s own product page and are not independent. A 4.3 from 175 reviews on a gaming laptop tells you less than the specs listed in the row, so use the specs for the decision and the rating to rule out a problem model.
