Case, ports, screen of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14IRH8 (82Y7009GFR)
This versatile laptop is rugged and meets the American military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H. It looks original and elegant with its compact, thin and light blue Tidal Teal aluminum design.
This creative, gamer-oriented multimedia laptop PC has good connectivity, including 2 USB-C, including 1 USB 4 Thunderbolt, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E-AX wireless modules for communication and long-distance connection, as well as a convenient HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or even a USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible), which guarantees up to ten times faster transfers than USB 2.0 when a USB 3.0 device is connected to it.
Because the webcam uses infrared technology for facial recognition, you can use Windows Hello technology to authenticate yourself biometrically.
E-Shutter technology allows you to disable the webcam to maintain privacy.
A backlight solution equips the chiclet keyboard so that its keys are more visible in reduced ambient light.
A very clear advantage of this configuration: the screen stands out in several ways, starting with its IPS and DCI-P3 specifications, which include significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles as well as much fairer colorimetry than average.
In addition, the screen stands out for its 3K resolution, much higher than Full HD, ideal for high definition content, while its 16:10 format displays more information in height than the classic 16:9 format .
The screen is also equipped with a frequency of 120 Hz, which has the advantage of improving overall fluidity compared to the 60 Hz standard, while the anti-reflection treatment makes it more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors). a shiny panel.
Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14IRH8 (82Y7009GFR)
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14IRH8 (82Y7009GFR) might be of interest to those looking for a compact multimedia multi-purpose PC that offers good performance in terms of processor-focused creating and gaming.
Whether with the iris
The NVIDIA Optimus technology switches between the two automatically and in real time, largely favoring the Iris Xe despite its significantly lower performance as it promotes autonomy.
Autonomy is also an undeniable advantage of this configuration, since it lasts about 7 hours on battery power with light use, which may be of interest to some who want to acquire a student laptop. Especially since the lightness, compactness and finesse of this ultrabook make it easier to transport
The GeForce RTX 4050 is actually enabled by Optimus to handle graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically gaming.
Equipped with the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the GeForce RTX 4050 Raytracing is capable of running current games – subject to some concessions such as a reduction in screen resolution. Because 3K requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which means a lower number of frames per second.
The GeForce RTX 4050’s ray tracing also accelerates multimedia processing under software with GPU processing power, such as VSDC, Adobe Photoshop/Premiere or Sony Vegas.
Gamers and developers will therefore appreciate this blue aluminum ultrabook powered by a Core i7-13700H Intel Raptor Lake-H hybrid processor housing the Iris Xe. Paired with 16GB of RAM, the Core i7 delivers good overall performance that will satisfy demanding users.
This heart, which accompanies the GeForce RTX 4050 well in games, will delight creative people. Because it clearly provides much faster processing than a quad/hexa core and 8GB DDR4/5, with the difference being particularly noticeable in areas where CPU and RAM resources are required to take advantage of multicore, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.
The storage is obviously entrusted to an SSD, which is more resistant to shocks than a hard drive while being silent, more energy efficient and much faster.
Specifically, the SSD guarantees much better fluidity and responsiveness in everyday life than a hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, multimedia processing is much faster than with a hard drive, as is starting and starting/stopping games/software and we can access online playing cards faster, for example.
In addition, here we find a 1000 GB SSD that can store multiple games, software and files and will appeal to demanding users.
Finally, you can expect this versatile multimedia gaming laptop to heat up and make itself heard when it’s under heavy use (e.g. processing, gaming).
To limit temperatures, a ventilated support can be used if necessary (remember to check dimensions carefully!).
