Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 boasts a sleek design, but falls short in refinement, with sharp edges that detract from its otherwise attractive appearance. The laptop's convertible nature and extensive I/O options are notable highlights. However, the presence of a traditional trackpoint (nipple) may be seen as outdated, given the superior performance of modern touchpads. This review aims to provide an in-depth assessment of this business-focused device, considering both its strengths and weaknesses.
