Lenovo Yoga 6 Gen8 review: Convertible with new Ryzen 7-7730U and fabric cover – NotebookCheck.net Reviews

Smooth and elegant. Visually, Lenovo’s Yoga 6 definitely stands out due to its colour-accentuated, fabric-covered display lid. The mobile Ryzen 7 also earns some plus points, not only offering high performance, but also fitting almost perfectly into the elegant convertible thanks to other features.

The Lenovo Yoga 6, now in its 8th generation, has a lot to offer. The combination of tablet and notebook is aimed at creative minds who not only want to tackle graphic tasks with ambition, but also want slightly upmarket equipment for the home. The good, though by no means outstanding 16:10 display, the practical Lenovo digitizer pen (unfortunately not included) and convincing system performance fit this bill.

In addition to the variant we reviewed with its AMD Ryzen 7 7730U and 16 GB of RAM, a smaller model with an AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is also available. With this, 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM can be selected. Experience has shown that 16 GB is advisable, despite the overly high surcharge. Otherwise, you can only configure the software, accessories and the material of the display lid.

With the relatively new and, above all, fast processor from AMD, the Yoga 6 is definitely able to compete with a Dell Inspiron 14 7420, if not surpass it. At the same time, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7 with the same Intel Core i7-1255U is an interesting alternative, although it is no longer on par with AMD’s mobility-tuned Ryzen CPU.

Note: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or memory sticks with similar specifications.

The chassis (metallic blue in our test unit) is sufficiently stable in its build. It only shows a slight bend when held at one corner. Here, the absence of an aluminum keyboard frame is noticeable, which would have made the whole thing even stronger. On the other hand, the display seems a good deal more solid.

The lid of this model is wrapped in fabric, the texture of which is reminiscent of tweed. Visually, this is definitely a highlight that makes you enthusiastic at first. However, fine dirt particles, crumbs and the like quickly catch and can sometimes only be removed with difficulty. One can thus plausibly assume that the edges and corners may be worn out in a year or two. Anyone who often stows the convertible in bags or backpacks and travels a lot with would be much better off with the aluminum lid.

Otherwise, the good workmanship and the tight hinges, which can only be adjusted using both hands, and the rounded edges for easy handling make for a good first impression. On the outside, the Yoga 6 clearly sets itself apart from the grey-silver colored competition.

With a screen diagonal of 13.3 inches, the convertible is roughly oriented to the DIN A4 format. This size ensures that it fits well in small backpacks or shoulder bags. A thickness of around 18 mm is not the best value, but for a model with a foldable touchscreen and high computing power, the Yoga 6 falls within the normal range.

This also applies to the weight: together with the power supply unit, it weighs less than 2 kg. Not extraordinarily light, but light enough for portable use, especially since it becomes clear later on in the review that the power adapter does not necessarily have to be taken along.

The range and number of ports are perfectly adequate for private use. A total of three video outputs – one via HDMI, two via USB-C – will only be used in the rarest of cases. On the negative side, all USB ports are only capable of 5 Gbit/s, which is on the level of USB 3.0. Nevertheless, this should be sufficient for transferring larger amounts of data, and video signals in 4K can still be forwarded.

HDMI and the headset connection are the usual extras, while the card slot has been omitted in many of the competitors.

What is lacking, especially in tablet mode, is a volume rocker, which is standard on tablets. Adjusting the volume while streaming a video turns out to be very tedious without a dedicated switch.

Using our AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 reference card, we measured a slightly above-average value for the transfer speed of the microSD card slot. Whether this is the same model as in the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7i is not certain, but cannot be ruled out.

Around 80 MB/s means that, in the best case scenario, a 32 GB microSD card would be copied in 7 min. The Dell Inspiron 14 7420, for example, would take half an hour for this.

The WLAN module is neither particularly fast nor too slow. The average values we determined for the same MediaTek plug-in card are even a few percentage points below our measurements.

So the Yoga 6 does not offer outstanding speeds, but it has more than enough power for all network and internet tasks. Bluetooth 5.2 is also integrated.

The Full HD webcam of the Yoga 6 comes with all the important extras. In addition to the mechanical cover, an infrared camera is also installed. Image quality is satisfactory and color deviations are noticeable, but by no means particularly noticeable.

Even in minimal room light, the image remains decently illuminated, but displays clearly noticeable image noise. Once a dim or weak light is turned on, the video image quality gives no cause for complaint.

With the dual-array microphone, voice recordings are solid with a reasonably consistent volume, even from different directions. However, a tinny undertone is minimally audible and the sound quality drops significantly at a distance of more than 2 m.

Access to the interior of the Lenovo convertible is sealed. This is fine, since in most cases it will remain sealed until the end of the Yoga 6’s life. However, the seal could have been more discreet than a red sticker that is almost a quarter of the length of the entire device.

Those wanting to get inside will not be hindered otherwise. Six torx screws have to be loosened. Then, as is often the case, the base can be prised open without much effort, starting from the hinges.

Apart from the RAM, which is unfortunately permanently soldered, the M.2 SSD, WLAN module and battery can be easily replaced. The fan is also very accessible and easy to clean.

The RAM cover has been removed. Thanks to placeholders, the short 2242 SSD can be replaced with the standard 2280 format.

When typing, you immediately notice that the small convertible has a standard-sized keyboard, so it is well suited for frequent and fast typists. At most, the arrow keys with their double assignments, which are pushed tightly into the corner, require a little practice. The key drop of just under 1 mm is quite typical for a flat notebook keyboard. However, key feedback could be a little firmer and more precise.

The touchpad is pleasantly large: it measures almost 12 x 8 cm. Control is very precise. The hidden buttons also react quickly and are neither too firm nor too easy to press.

Then there is the touchscreen, of course, which makes handling excellent, not only in tablet mode. Because the hinges are firm enough, you can type on the display with the screen set up in the classic position. Since Windows has a wide range of useful gesture controls, the operating system can be operated efficiently without a keyboard and mouse.

Screen bleeding is only slightly noticeable at the bottom right.

The combination of a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution slightly above Full HD makes working and surfing very comfortable. The display offers plenty of space and images are crisp.

Thanks to a very good black value, the contrast value is decent. Moreover, the illumination is even. Thus, on the desk and indoors generally, it is not at all noticeable that the maximum brightness is low at 280 cd/m². While this remains constant in battery mode, this doesn’t help much in the presence of light. In combination with the reflective surface of the touchscreen, a sunlit room or wall is enough to reduce legibility.

No flickering was detected at low brightness levels.

The color spaces reproduced are suitable for a display that allows for intensive image editing, at least for hobby photographers. sRGB is almost completely covered and ensures strong and vivid colors. As expected, the panel is unable to handle Display-P3 and AdobeRGB, which are required for professional media editing, but it doesn’t have to either. After all, numerous system or SLR cameras take pictures with the sRGB color space by default.

Uncalibrated, a deviation is particularly noticeable in the grayscale, which is definitely within the visible range. Color representation is at a good level.

After calibration, CalMAN shows almost perfect values. The DeltaE value for colour deviation is 0.62, far below the limit of what can be perceived, which is usually 3. Our profile can be downloaded above.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
8 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2 ms rise
8 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 6 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1 ms rise
14 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 13 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession – a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19321 (minimum: 5 – maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Reflections are almost unavoidable outdoors.

With a glossy surface and low brightness, using the Lenovo Yoga 6 outdoors isn’t much fun. If you can somehow manage to position your body directly in front of the display, the content remains legible. In most cases, however, this is not possible.

Images, videos and even text are very difficult to see.

We have no complaints about the viewing angle stability. Regardless of the angle of the convertible, screen content remains legible and shows neither color changes nor significant changes in brightness. This is to be expected of an IPS panel.

With the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U and 16 GB RAM, Lenovo’s convertible can be expected to deliver high performance. The Zen3 architecture is still used here, so that the RAM is DDR4, but this does not entail any notable disadvantages. Without a separate graphics chip, high frame rates cannot be expected in games.

Nevertheless, some AAA titles in particular will be playable at lower graphics settings. Complex tasks that primarily require the CPU can be processed very quickly and even in parallel. With a few exceptions, this also applies to the optionally available AMD Ryzen 5 7530U, which has the same amount of L3 cache and an identical maximum clock rate with two fewer cores.

Experience has shown that the model with only 8 GB of RAM will have problems with multitasking and intensive browser use. Since the memory is not expandable, the 16 GB model is always advisable.

Lenovo offers three performance profiles for the Yoga 6. “High Performance” provides the processor with 30 W for a short time and 25 W for half a minute. These values drop to 25 or 22 W under “Smart Cooling”. In “Battery Saving” mode, the consumption is limited to 10 W.

All performance tests and benchmarks were carried out under “High Performance”. For comparison, we repeated some measurements in “Battery Saving” mode.

The performance profiles in Lenovo Vantage are somewhat hidden under “Power”. “Fn” + “q” is the shortcut.

With eight cores, 16 threads, an L3 cache of 16 MB and a maximum clock speed of 4.5 GHz, the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U offers impressive key data. Basically, it’s a slimmer AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. But instead of a TDP of 25 W, this model requires significantly lower cooling power of 15 W, so that the CPU can be installed in a slim and mostly quiet convertible like the Yoga 6.

For comparison, we included the AMD R7-5825U in the Cinebech R15 loop chart below. This clearly sets itself apart, but requires considerably more power to do so.

The Intel Core i7-1255U, which is designed for comparable applications like the slim Ryzen 7, always lags behind. Its previous generation, represented by an Intel Core i7-1165G7, falls further behind and only achieves 60% of the values provided by the Yoga 6.

That the performance drops after a while is to be expected for a convertible whose cooling is limited by the folding, but even then it remains clearly ahead of a Dell Inspiron 14 7420.

Remarkable at this point is that the performance of the Yoga 6 is almost level with the i7-1255U in “Battery Saving” mode, while the power consumption is limited to 10 W and the cooling is hardly busy.

More benchmarks and comparison values can be found in our CPU benchmark list.

Cooler and quieter in Battery Saving mode, but not much slower through the Cinebench loop. (red - max. power, green - Battery Saving mode) — Cooler and quieter in Battery Saving mode, but not much slower through the Cinebench loop. (red – max. power, green – Battery Saving mode)

In the field of competitors, the Yoga 6 is not completely convincing in terms of system performance. Only in the PCMark10 “Productivity” score does it come out at the very top because of the strong processor performance. For all other values, however, the iGPU, the RAM and the SSD also play a role. All components are on a good level, but are by no means outstanding.

This is enough to keep up with most business notebooks. In PCMark 10 in particular, the Yoga 6 is clearly above the average for convertibles. This level of performance is clearly felt during use: programs start immediately and waiting times are very short. This also applies to the simultaneous running of several applications.

No abnormalities were detected with LatencyMon during surfing, streaming and the short-term loading of the CPU. The maximum measured delay of a process is almost 1.5 ms. All in all, dropouts in real-time audio processing may occur, but this is unlikely.

The playback of a 4K video was not quite perfect. Only three skipped frames is still a respectable result. Both can be improved with an adjustment of the drivers used.

The small M.2 SSD in 2242 format performs very well. It almost reaches the maximum values of PCIe 3 for sequential reading and writing. The Zen3 architecture does not yet support PCIe 4. However, many competitors use comparable memory, even if more is theoretically possible. The high write performance would hardly be useful in a convertible.

The transfer rates of the SSD are sufficient in any case, especially since it delivers completely stable values without additional cooling. This is quite a different story on the IdeaPad Flex 7, for example, as our diagram with the measured values shows.

The compact SSD from Western Digital is also equipped with a placeholder. A later exchange for a model in standard size 2280 is thus possible, even if the seal on the bottom has to be broken.

The iGPU of the AMD Ryzen processor is not intended for maximum performance, but rather for the fundamentals. The AMD Radeon Graphics is able to utilize up to a maximum of 2 GB RAM as video memory and clocks up to 2,000 MHz.

With a separately installed graphics chip, the iGPU cannot keep up with the CPU without exclusive video memory and shared cooling. Nevertheless, our benchmarks are on a good level and in some cases significantly above other similar competitors.

Performance is limited in complex 3D applications, especially games. On the other hand, the Yoga 6 handles image and video editing for private purposes quite well. This also applies in “Battery Mode” when the CPU only receives a maximum of 10 W.

For an iGPU, the frame rates we measured are quite respectable. Similarly strong convertibles from the competition are often lag behind the Yoga 6. However, complex games remain out of reach as soon as the graphics settings are raised above the minimum.

Light games are of course no challenge. And the graphics performance is also acceptable in older games. However, this only applies at reduced resolution and limited details. The lack of VRAM is noticeable here.

The fan behavior is inconspicuous and therefore very user-friendly. For the most part, it oscillates between complete standstill and a background hiss. Only in extreme situations, which do not occur during media consumption, surfing and office applications, does the fan become audible.

No coil whine or spontaneous speed changes were observed during testing.

The quieter the cooling is, the more perceptible CPU activity under the keyboard becomes. Even in the absence of significant CPU loads, a slight increase in temperature can be felt. The Yoga 6 does not get uncomfortably hot, but the absolute peak value of 50 °C on the case is considerable.

This changes when using “Battery Saving” mode, which usually switches on when the power adapter is disconnected. Then the temperature during both simple tasks and maximum load drop significantly. We measured just under 5 °C less than at maximum performance. The convertible can therefore be used safely on the lap or on a soft surface such as a sofa, especially in tablet mode.

(±) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 32.4 °C / 90 F, compared to the average of 30.2 °C / 86 F for the devices in the class Convertible.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 43.8 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 35.2 °C / 95 F, ranging from 19.6 to 55.7 °C for the class Convertible.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 48.2 °C / 119 F, compared to the average of 36.6 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 26.8 °C / 80 F, compared to the device average of 30.2 °C / 86 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 24.2 °C / 75.6 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.2 °C / 82.8 F (+4 °C / 7.2 F).

For almost 4 min, the Yoga 6 is able to extract its full power and supply the processor and the integrated graphics unit with the preset 25 W. Once the allowable peak temperature is reached, the clock speed and power supply drop to keep the system running.

The comparison of the behavior in “Battery Saving” mode is interesting: the temperature curve remains far from a critical value. At the same time, the system is eventually down-regulated to almost the same clock rate at maximum performance, so that the respective processing performance values come close, at least in the long run.

Here the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U shows that it can operate extremely efficiently. If the highest processing power is not needed, you benefit from the low emissions of the convertible from Lenovo in “Battery Saving” mode without significantly losing work speed.

Surprisingly deep bass (for a notebook), precise highs and an overall balanced sound are befitting of a convertible that can be used for media playback as well as demanding tasks. Movies, videos and other content sound good.

Unfortunately, the lower mids are lacking. These are barely perceptible, which is likely to impact the playback of music in a number of respects, since guitars, among other instruments, play in this frequency range.

The power consumption seems a little high, even if the CPU is not maximally stressed. At a minimum of 9 W, the Yoga 6 is clearly ahead of the competition. The maximum power consumption of 47 W, on the other hand, is modest, which is to be expected considering the CPU’s power consumption of only 30 W. A Dell Inspiron 7420 2-in-1, on the other hand, consumes well over 60 W, but only supplies the CPU with a maximum of 39 W.

The 45 watt power adapter is therefore appropriately sized. No drops in battery capacity were observed during stress testing.

A complete charge takes more than 2 hours.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 13 Gen8 performs really well in the battery test. Simulated continuous surfing through ever-changing websites at a screen brightness of 150 cd/m² ended after 12 hours. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7 with an identical battery, but an Intel Core i7-1255U, lasts 4.5 hours less. Even the average value of all other reviewed convertibles is 3 hours below the Yoga.

Only in the video test (a 1,080p movie in continuous loop) is the HP ProBook x360 435 within reach. Given the smaller battery, the power consumption should be comparable. This is due to the related iGPU with the same RDNA architecture, which also proves to be extremely efficient in other notebooks. Except that now the CPU works just as efficiently.

Lenovo Yoga 6 13 83B2001SGE, provided by Lenovo.

The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible – especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time.

In addition, there are the well-adjusted performance profiles. The Ryzen 7 reaches high speeds when it matters most without running extremely loud and hot. So working with it during the day poses no problems. In battery saving mode, on the other hand, computing power drops by a few percentage points, but comfort increases enormously. Whether as a tablet or in notebook mode – the Yoga 6 can be used for entertainment or simple gaming, and mostly without fan noise.

A quiet tablet and a strong notebook for everyday use: the Lenovo Yoga 6 can do both and looks remarkably good at the same time.

Then there is the visual aspect of the notebook, which clearly stands out from the competition with the chassis color and especially the fabric cover. The surface texture provides an unusual warmth to the touch, almost homely. Unfortunately, it repeatedly proved to be a dirt magnet in our tests.

While the poorly positioned ports hardly restrict everyday use, since the range and number are absolutely fine, the display proves to be a real weak point. Resolution, contrasts and color representation are line with the price and its intended purpose. The display brightness, on the other hand, is too weak. This severely limits usability outdoors and in sun-drenched rooms. A fate shared by many comparable models with reflective touchscreens.

Yet the convertible is predestined for mobile use with its enormously long battery life, allowing for several hours of media consumption after prolonged use on the go, even in the evening, without having to be recharged in between.

If the full performance of the R7-7730U is not required, as the Yoga 6 is intended to be used quietly and efficiently anyway, the variant with the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U would certainly be interesting. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7 or Flex 5 with their Intel Core processors are also cheaper, but correspondingly slower. The Dell XPS 13 9315 2-in-1, for example, has a much brighter display for outdoor use.

In the US, our reviewed configuration is priced at US$949.99 on Lenovo’s online shop. The smaller variant with an AMD Ryzen 5 7530U and 8 GB RAM costs US$749.99.

I’ve been using computers since 1989 and an Intel 8086. I also remember the Internet before college and university networks were supplanted by corporate and social media. The fascination for the technical leaps and social effects never let me go. In particular, I am most interested in the classic PC – and hardly less so in the laptop, in which the components have to come to terms with little space and power. So it seems only logical that I have been writing technical guides and product presentations since 2015. My physics studies provide the necessary basic knowledge and understanding of contexts.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
