Performance scores
Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i 14″ (Gen 9, 2024) — the convertible that quietly out-gpus the gaming set
The Yoga Pro 7i Gen 9 at $1,084 pairs an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with a GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile (6 GB) and 32 GB of RAM. The graphics score lands at 75.91 — 19.8 times the convertible-class median of 3.84, high band, the strongest graphics figure of any convertible in this batch — overall performance reads 76.95 (106% above class) and reliability 86 (top quartile). No weakness is flagged.
Where it holds up
3D modeling and engineering CAD both top the sheet at 94 — top band — with photo design at 92 (top) and office at 88.99 (top) behind; gaming reads 72 (high). The measured fits clear recommended bars across Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege, with Premiere and Photoshop minimums passing. There is no low-band axis anywhere on the sheet — the rare profile with no measured weakness at all — and value at 71.45 (high) certifies it.
Where it falls short
With no low band and no flag, the critique narrows to price shape: value 71.45 is high but not the 80-plus the $922 Legion set posts, and portability at 64.5 (mid) records the cost of carrying a 4050 in a 14-inch frame.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2024 cohort rate is 13.87% per year — a still-steep modern-premium slope.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga Pro 7 14″ AMD (Gen 9) at the same $1,084 trades the card for the 89.98 CPU and a coverage-limited graphics column. The Yoga Pro 7 14″ (Gen 10) at $1,275 is the newer-platform route with office at 87.4. The Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 14 at $922 is the gaming-badge route to a similar card with mobility 61.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The convertible GPU champion: modeling 94, CAD 94, photo 92 and a 19.8×-median graphics score with no low-band axis anywhere — value 71.45 the certification of the formula.
