Lenovo Yoga 7i (15”) (2020) — the bigger battery canvas, the heavier hinge
The Yoga 7i 15" at $566 is a 2020 convertible with a Core i5 1135G7 and 16 GB of RAM. Battery capacity is the flagged strength at 71 Wh (+31.5% over the class median), with weight at 1.9 kg (+31% above the class median of 1.45) as the counter-flag. Memory is the flagged weakness at 16 GB, half the class norm.
Where it holds up
The 71 Wh battery anchors the endurance case and photo design reads 37 (mid) with value 56.5 (mid) — the same value flag as the 14-inch twin. The 15-inch canvas is the working dividend: documents and media get the room the 14-inch body rations. For a stay-mostly-home convertible at cleared prices, the axes hold.
Where it falls short
Weight at 1.9 kg drives portability down to 43 (mid) — the honest cost of the bigger body, a band and a half under the 14-inch twin's 70.4 — and the 16 GB ceiling is the flagged memory limit. Overall performance reads 33.66 (low) with gaming 23, modeling 19 and CAD 22 at the integrated floor. No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); the 2020 cohort rate is 10.38% per year.
Price and depreciation
No curve or projection applies without an anchor; the 10.38% class rate is near-flat. At $566 the ask matches the 14-inch twin exactly — the purchase decision is the canvas-versus-carry trade.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga 7i 14 at the same $566 in this list is the lighter twin with portability 70.4 high; the Yoga 9i Gen 6 at the same money is the premium line; and the Surface Book 3 15 at the same price is the detachable reading with an 82 Wh battery.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The canvas-first twin: 71 Wh and a 15-inch display against 1.9 kg, portability 43 mid and a 16 GB ceiling. Same value flag as the 14-inch; the hinge stays home more often.
