Performance scores
Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 8 (14″ AMD, 2023) — the value sleeper of the Ryzen convertible line
The Yoga 7 Gen 8 at $921 pairs an AMD Ryzen 5 7535U with 32 GB of RAM. Graphics post 32.85 — 8.6 times the convertible-class median of 3.84, light band, top quartile — overall performance reads 54.44 (46% above class) and reliability 66 (35% above class). No weakness is flagged: the sheet holds mid or better everywhere that matters.
Where it holds up
Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with photo design at 81 (high) and portability at 68.6 (high) stacked right behind — a three-pillar card. 3D modeling reads 48 (mid) and engineering CAD 47 (mid). The measured fits are broad for the money: Overwatch clears its recommended bar, GTA V its minimum, Far Cry 5 its minimum at 30 fps, and Photoshop its minimum.
Where it falls short
Gaming at 34 (low) is the honest floor — the one low-band axis on the card, consistent with a minimum-clearance GTA V rather than comfort. Value at 54.1 (mid) is the only other soft note, and it is soft only by gaming standards.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 12.87% per year — a modern slope still in its steep half.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga 7 Gen 9 (14″ AMD) at $1,084 steps up to the 8640HS with engineering CAD at 64 and no low-band axis anywhere. The Yoga Slim 7 14″ (AMD) at the same $921 offers the top-band 88.26 office reading. The Yoga Slim 6i Gen 8 at $921 is the Intel counter-offer with office at 88.21.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The three-pillar sleeper: office 84.85, photo 81 and portability 68.6 with an 8.6×-median graphics score — gaming 34 the single low-band floor on an otherwise clean card.
