It has been two years and counting since the pandemic started and even if no one knows for sure how long this pandemic will last, one thing is certain, we can surely handle a lot more of the uncertainty than we think we can.
Without doubt, with or without the pandemic, the future is digital and technology is and will still be our lifeline. Hence, we need to be constantly ready for whatever life and technology brings. If only life comes with a manual or roadmap. Still, resilient as we have always been, we still need to be (physically, mentally, emotionally and digitally) ready to be capable of adapting and overcoming whatever life throws at us. Which leads us to the question, what does it take to be “future ready”? A lot!
Apart from the basic architecture needed for technology to work like software, Wi-Fi, internet speed, IoT, appropriate devices are also vital in order to stay resilient to the unpredictable future. One such device worthy of the digital future is the Lenovo Yoga 7i Pro.
Consider these features and know why the Lenovo Yoga 7i Pro is a notable asset for the future:
If you want a laptop ready for the long haul, then the Lenovo Yoga 7i Pro would be perfect. It comes in a sturdy, solid aluminum chassis and weighs at about 1.3kg. – light enough to be transported anywhere just to get your work (or school) done. Because of its aluminum body, its overall build is sturdy. I didn’t feel any flex on one-hand pick up as well as when opening or closing the device. It seemed tough enough to have resisted minor stains and bumps when I brought it with me when I travelled during the holy week.
The Yoga 7i Pro is easy to open. It has a distinct recessed notch (more on this later) that allows you to easily flip open the device. And with its smooth, non-resistive hinges, the laptop can gracefully stretch open up to 180 degrees just like a ballerina.
Once open, you’ll surely marvel on the vibrant and radiant 2.8k vividly clear 14-inch 90 Hz display. It features a 16:10 screen ratio that is quite unique as most of its contemporaries do come only in 16:9 ratio. Hence, the screen is taller. Quite obvious too are its thin bezels that are truly beneficial as it becomes more spacious and uncrowded, convenient when writing or going through documents.
Remember the recessed notch that I mentioned earlier? Well, that recess houses the camera appearing non-obtrusive and again saving that precious screen real estate. One would easily notice too, a bigger and wider glass touchpad that is buttery smooth to glide your finger on.
Ideally, a laptop that can take the demands of future use should have at least 8GB of RAM. Random Access Memory (RAM) temporarily stores information that your laptop is currently running so it can be accessed right away. It directly ties in with your laptop’s speed and performance. So if you are a multitasker who is used to running numerous processes, retrieving or accessing different files all at the same time, then you would need a higher RAM so that you can run them without lag or delay. The Yoga 7i Pro is installed with 16GB of RAM – a great amount of RAM that only high-end laptops have. With 16GB RAM, you won’t experience slowing down or crashing even if you are running multiple programs and apps simultaneously.
To keep up with today’s fast-paced lifestyle, we would all need speed; and for your device to be ready for the future it is just wise to invest with the latest generation of processors. Yoga 7i Pro comes with Intel EVO platform integrating the powerful performance of 11th Generation Intel Core processor and Intel Iris X Graphics giving you an extremely responsive and intuitive performance only a premium laptop can deliver.
In conjunction with Intel Iris X Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce Mx 450, the Yoga 7i Pro can keep up with the latest games and programs. It can carry out high resolution videos and images, do faster photo and video editing and gaming – truly ideal for work and play.
I love its “flip to boot” feature where the laptop automatically powers up when you flip it open. A hands-free facial recognition log-in gives a sweet touch and with attention sensors always on the lookout, the laptop wakes up from its sleep or standby mode without pressing any key. It can actually sense your presence once you approach the device. In addition, attention sensors also act as added security by alerting the user when it senses someone hovering or spying while in use. It also automatically logs out once the user leaves. Another smart feature users will appreciate is the Smart Sensor Keyboard where the backlighting automatically adjusts depending on the environment.
In addition to the above-mentioned features, the Lenovo Yoga 7i Pro is equipped with intelligent cooling features, lightning fast Gigabit speeds of Intel WiFi 6, a Thunderbolt 4 port and, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers. It is preloaded with Lenovo Vantage, Microsoft Office 2019, McAfee LiveSafe and Dolby Vision.
