Not long ago, we gave detailed comments to the [Savior] game notebook family (see "Challenger of ROG and Alienware! Learn about 8 new Saveor 2022 game notebooks in one article!"), and under Lenovo , there are [Xiaoxin] and [YOGA] series thin and light notebooks (including some all-around notebooks/design notebooks). Although they are not as powerful as Savior, they are better in terms of portability and battery life.
Among them, the Xiaoxin family is positioned as the mainstream market and is famous for its cost-effectiveness. The YOGA family focuses on more refined workmanship and a more outstanding sense of quality. The 2022 YOGA family supports touch and adopts a more personalized orb design language. Some products are also equipped with Lenovo smart engine (implemented through sensors), which can sense people to walk with people, and easily achieve one-step login, automatic screen lighting and automatic screen locking, which is also officially called [Enjoy yourself experience]. The popularity of
touch screen in the YOGA 2022 family is worthy of praise. You should know that Lenovo also has a very useful multi-screen collaboration software (Lenovo One), which can project the screen onto the laptop screen and then operate it with your fingers to experience it similar to a tablet. For some users engaged in creativity and design work, touch screens can also significantly improve efficiency.
Unfortunately, in order to achieve a thinner design, the entire YOGA 2022 series uses onboard memory, with only one hard disk bit built in, and the expansion capability is relatively weak. I hope that YOGA in 2023 can learn from the Acer Extraordinary Legend series next door, find a way to stuff the second hard disk while pursuing thin and thin designs to solve the storage anxiety of some users.
The price of this product is taken from the Lenovo official website price in mid-to-late October 2022. The price of the laptop fluctuates greatly. It may drop significantly when catching up with JD flash sale or Pinduoduo 10 billion subsidy activities. Everyone should refer to the latest price at that time when purchasing! !
Lenovo YOGA Air 13s 2022 Carbon
In the Lenovo YOGA 2022 family, Air 13s Carbon is the most recognizable. It has a light body as light as 984g, so it is also named [Light Bill] by the official website.
Lenovo YOGA Air13s 2022 Carbon adopts the new "jewelry" design language, the rounded corners say goodbye to the cutting feel, and the weight is only 984g, which is extremely light in products of the same size. The top cover is woven from white carbon fiber , and the body is made of magnesium aluminum alloy . The combination of the two creates a tough and lightweight effect. In addition, there is a newly designed Edge-to-Edge keyboard, which has a larger contact area and a smart keyboard backlight that can automatically light up when the environment becomes dark.
This product is equipped with Lenovo smart engine, which can sense people to walk with people, and easily achieve one-step login, automatic screen lighting and automatic screen locking. In addition, the product also supports two-way AI voice noise reduction, and the built-in dual Harman Katon speakers also support Dolby Atmos sound effects. The 720P high-definition camera and infrared camera at the top of the screen support AI beauty and face recognition functions. The side of the body is equipped with an electronically controlled anti-peep switch to maximize user privacy.
Lenovo YOGA Air 13s 2022 Carbon focuses on Puresight super-sensing screen with 2.5K resolution, adopts a 16:10 gold display ratio, with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 91.62%, has 100% sRGB high color gamut, 400 nits brightness and 90Hz refresh rate, and the average △E color difference is less than 1, meeting the needs of professional photography and design work for color accuracy, and also supports DC dimming and hardware low blue light. Supports 10-point touch function and can be accurately controlled without an external mouse.
Lenovo YOGA Air 13s 2022 Carbon currently only offers i5-1240P processor version, priced at 7499 yuan. This processor uses 4 large, 8 small, 12 cores and 16 threads, and integrates Iris Xe 80 core graphics. Its CPU performance is similar to that of Ryzen 7 6800U. The GPU performance is similar to that of the early GeForce MX330 independent graphics, and it does not have much pressure for daily office and entertainment.
Overall, Lenovo YOGA Air 13s 2022 Carbon is a lightweight notebook that is very suitable for girls. The round and fashionable appearance design and weight of less than 1kg can be easily stuffed into a carry-on bag to reduce the burden on the shoulders. The 2.5K resolution Puresight super touch screen also adds a lot of points to it. The 12th-generation Core i5-1240P processor provides enough performance. The price of 7,499 yuan is not too outrageous. The only flaw is that the type and number of interfaces are too small. The biggest competitor of this product should be the Lingyao X13 from Asus . The latter uses a 13.3-inch 2.8K OLED screen, equipped with a Ryzen 7 6800U processor, weighs 1kg, and is priced at the promotion of only 5,999 yuan, focusing on better core graphics, NumberPad trackpad and more interfaces.
Lenovo YOGA Air 14s 2022
Lenovo YOGA Air 14s should be one of the most unique thin and light notebooks this year. Its appearance design is largely referenced to mobile phone tablets. Although it is very expensive, it is extremely attractive to many working women or high-end female users.
YOGA Air 14s introduced a 3D curved glass top cover in the notebook field for the first time. The frame of the C-side is no longer a traditional wedge-shaped shape and sharp edges and corner design, but becomes extremely round like the middle frame of many mobile phones, and a high-bright polishing process is also added to the sides. In official terms, the round and soft appearance gives YOGA a layer of user-centered humanistic care, and it is also more in line with the light and light characteristics of the YOGA Air series. Bowers & Wilkins high and bass crossover four-speaker system is also added on both sides of the keyboard, supporting Dolby Atmos.
Lenovo YOGA Air 14s' special thin and round body also brings one disadvantage, that is, it cannot add an interface with a particularly large hole, so only 3 USB Type-Ch and headphone jacks are installed on both sides of the body. Fortunately, these 3 C ports are all Thunderbolt 4, and you can connect almost all the interfaces you know through expansion dock , including external graphics cards. The screen of
Lenovo YOGA Air 14s is also very outstanding. It uses an OLED panel with a 16:10 gold display ratio, with a left and right bezels of only 2.3mm, and a screen-to-body ratio of up to 93%. It has 2.K resolution , 90Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and 400nits brightness. It supports hardware color calibration and various eye protection certifications, and also supports 10-point touch operation.
also has a 1080P full HD camera and infrared camera on the top of the screen. It can achieve face recognition, automatic lock screen for people walking, and other pleasant experiences, combining intelligent perception, casual interaction, clear communication, and worry-free and worry-free four surprise experiences.
Lenovo YOGA Air 14s is equipped with the 12th generation Core i7-1280P processor (also passed EVO certification). Compared with the familiar i7-1260P, the i7-1280P uses 6 large, 8 small, 14 cores and 20 threads. We can regard it as a low-power version of i7-12700H, and the CPU computing performance is very strong. In addition, this processor also integrates Iris Xe 96 core graphics, combined with dual-channel 16GB LPDDR5-5600 memory, which can release 3D performance with full blood.
It is worth mentioning that the Lenovo YOGA Air 14s also has a built-in Lenovo LA2 intelligent controller, which can intelligently optimize the fan speed and power consumption of the entire machine according to the current operating status, so that the 75Wh battery can be used for the best use.
In general, Lenovo YOGA Air 14s is not a machine prepared for ordinary consumers, especially male users, but a fashionable technology trendy object specially customized for women's aesthetics. The A-side 3D glass and round body curves make it look and feel more touching.In terms of configuration, the YOGA Air 14s is equipped with the top processor in the 12th generation Core P series. As long as the power consumption is sufficient, the performance is not inferior to the i7-12700H, its only regret is that it is priced at up to 12,999 yuan but still comes with 16GB of memory. Doesn’t female users need to deal with super-complex productivity application environments?
Lenovo Yoga Air 14c 2022
We can regard Lenovo Yoga Air 14c 2022 as the sister model of YOGA Air 14s. They all focus on high-value, integrating fashion elements such as the arc body and narrow frames designed by the orb. The whole machine adopts the exquisite carving process of CNC integrated molding, aviation-grade aluminum, and the weight of 1.4kg is relatively light. The biggest difference between
Yoga Air 14c 2022 and Air 14s is that the former adopts a 360° flip body design, which can convert roles between notebook mode, tent mode, tablet mode and standing mode at any time, thereby adapting to more usage environments. This product also designs the power button in the side frame and adds a fingerprint recognition module in the lower right corner of the keyboard (the Air 14s does not have this fingerprint module).
Lenovo Yoga Air 14c 2022 is also equipped with a PureSight super-sensory OLED screen with a 14-inch 16:10 gold display ratio, which supports the experience of pleasure. It also comes with a standard "E-color stylus" where you can use the notebook as a painting board after flipping the screen. With the E-color stylus, you can directly take colors from the screen or the real object. It is undoubtedly a creative tool that can significantly improve efficiency for designers.
The processor of this product is also the 12th generation Core i7-1280P, with relatively rich interfaces, providing USB-A 3.2 Gen2, full-featured USB3.2 Gen2, 2 Thunderbolt 4 and audio interfaces.
In general, Lenovo Yoga Air 14c 2022 is a high-end two-in-one flip book. The 14-core and 20-thread i7-1280P processor has laid a strong foundation for productivity. The combination of PureSight super-sensing OLED touch screen and E-color colorful stylus is full of creative possibilities. Unfortunately, the Yoga Air 14c 2022 also has a price of 12,999 yuan, which is insulated from most ordinary users and is only suitable for creators who have a good budget and focus on lightweight and portable. If you have a limited budget, you can pay attention to YOGA 14c 2022, which is relatively low in position.
Lenovo YOGA 14c 2022
Lenovo YOGA 14c also continues the orb design style of the 2022 YOGA family, with rounded corners and no cutting hands. The body of the CNC integrated molding process is sturdy and upscale, but the thickness of 17.3mm and the weight of 1.5kg are not as portable as YOGA Air 14c 2022.
This product focuses on a 360-degree flipped screen, which can convert roles between notebook mode, tent mode, tablet mode and stand mode at any time, so as to adapt to more usage environments. The standard 4096-level pressure-sensitive stylus pen is equipped with a standard and supports the screen-off note function. For designers and creators, the tablet mode + stylus pen can bring higher productivity and create creativity at will.
Lenovo YOGA 14c comes with a 1080P full HD camera standard, supports AI intelligent beauty, two-way AI voice noise reduction, video background blurring and physical anti-peeping, which can bring a safer and clear video conferencing or video chat experience. In addition, this product also supports facial recognition and open cover and open power, making the security more guaranteed.
Due to the relatively low positioning, the screen quality of YOGA 14c 2022 is not as good as other members of the family: 14-inch 16:10 gold display ratio, resolution 2240×1400 pixels, 100% sRGB wide color gamut, supports DC dimming, Dolby Vision, hardware-level low blue light and color temperature adjustment. Of course, this display quality is actually above the mainstream level among products of the same size.
Lenovo YOGA 14c 2022 is available in Core version and Ryzen version, respectively equipped with i5-1240P or Ryzen 7 6800U processors. The CPU performance of the two are similar, but the Radeon 680M core graphics integrated with Ryzen 7 6800U can instantly defeat the i5-1240P integrated Iris Xe 96. If you have occasional gaming needs, it is obviously the Ryzen version that can provide higher and more stable frames.
In general, Lenovo YOGA 14c 2022 is a mainstream flip book. It can realize 4 usage modes on the basis of being compact and portable. The ten-point touch screen is paired with a 4096-level pressure-sensitive stylus, which is full of productivity. This product can choose from two major platforms: , Core and Ryzen. The lowest price of Ryzen version is 6,699 yuan when it comes to the promotion, while the Core version is only 6,499 yuan. I personally recommend the Ryzen version with integrated Radeon 680M core graphics, which is equivalent to a free GeForce MX550-level independent graphics card, so don’t be idle.
Lenovo YOGA Pro 14s 2022
As the performance flagship in the YOGA 2022 family, the YOGA Pro 14s can be selected as a combination of the 12th generation Core or Ryzen 6000H standard pressure processor and RTX 3050 independent display, which can be called a powerful "little cannon".
YOGA Pro 14s adopts the high-end manufacturing process of 6-series aviation aluminum and CNC Unibody, and introduces the jewelry design language. The edges are arc-surface transitions and are round and do not cut.
Lenovo YOGA Pro 14s Core version uses a customized 14.5-inch screen, so the body is slightly wider than the traditional 14-inch thin and light notebook. Speaker openings are installed on the left and right sides of the keyboard. Harman certified speakers are superimposed with Dolby Atmos sound effects, and making sounds to users can bring a better sound experience. The product also uses a 6.2-inch large-area trackpad and is equipped with a four-speed smart keyboard backlight.
The screen quality of this product is also very excellent. It has a resolution of 3072×1920 pixels, and the 16:10 display ratio can also display one more line of content than 16:9. The surface is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass, supports touch operation, and has an AF anti-fingerprint coating on the surface. It also has a brightness of 400nits, an adaptive refresh rate of 30Hz~120Hz, and can display 1.07 billion colors, 100% sRGB high color gamut, chip-level color calibration, Dolby Vision certification, etc. It also supports DC dimming, automatic brightness adjustment, intelligent color temperature control, Rhine low blue light and eye protection certification.
Lenovo YOGA Pro 14s Core version can be selected from i5-12500H, i7-12700H or i9-12900H processors (priced 6799 yuan to 8799 yuan). CPU single baking can be stable at power consumption of about 55W. The standard LPDDR5-6000MHz ( Intel platform only supports up to 5200MHz by default) memory can 120% of the performance of integrated Iris Xe core graphics. The Ryzen version of
YOGA Pro 14s is equipped with the Ryzen 7 6800HS processor (core graphics version 6899 yuan/discrete graphics version 7799 yuan), and the continuous power consumption can be released up to 54W. With the support of 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 high-frequency memory, the integrated Radeon 680M core graphics performance is comparable to that of GeForce MX570. The biggest feature of this product is the option of NVIDIA RTX3050 Laptop independent graphics (supports direct connection of independent graphics) and provides an graphics card overclocking function module in Lenovo Smart Engine (Computer Manager), which can increase the core frequency of the graphics card up to 200MHz and the memory frequency of 500MHz. However, the cooling module of YOGA Pro 14s only supports up to 70W (CPU+GPU) performance release of the entire machine, while the RTX 3050 full-blood version requires 95W power consumption, so don't expect YOGA Pro 14s to release performance comparable to gaming laptops. The significance of the existence of independent display is mainly video encoding and codec acceleration, and occasional gaming experience.
It is worth mentioning that Lenovo YOGA Pro 14s is pre-installed with a powerful performance enhancement engine - X Power. On the one hand, it enables hardware performance to be efficiently released through hardware overclocking, smart links, etc., and at the same time, it uses software tuning to improve efficiency and reduce power consumption. For example, the engine can intelligently switch between independent display direct connection, core display direct connection and hybrid mode according to the current scenario. We can understand it as an OS Turbo technology similar to the new Honor notebook, and it has a lot of functions.
In general, Lenovo YOGA Pro 14s can be regarded as a benchmark among small cannons. Although the CNC fine carving process has led to an increase in weight, it has a sense of quality and the rounded corners do not have the hidden worries of cutting hands. The 3K 120Hz extremely narrow bezel full-screen display effect is outstanding, and the addition of touch functions can facilitate us to give us a guide.The 12th generation Core H45 or Ryzen 7 6800H+RTX 3050 independent graphics, the power consumption release of 70W can provide a good productivity environment, and the addition of the X Power performance enhancement engine also makes it smarter and easier to use. Apart from the slightly higher price, there are no extra hard disk spaces.
Lenovo YOGA 16s 2022
Lenovo YOGA 16s 2022 model was actually launched as early as the end of 2021, but the processor equipped at that time was Ryzen 7 5800H. The new YOGA 16s 2022 that just launched has been upgraded to the Ryzen 6000 platform. It is estimated that Lenovo is embarrassed to give it the suffix of 2023 in advance.
New YOGA 16s 2022 uses the previous generation mold, the deep space gray CNC metal refined body, which creates a skin-like texture on the metal material, which makes the touch less cold and brings more silky. The overall workmanship is more refined than the new Xiaoxin Pro 16 2022, but the weight exceeds the 2kg mark, and the protective glass cover of the touch screen behind it "provides a lot". The biggest highlight of this product is that it is equipped with a 16-inch screen with a 16:10 gold display ratio, with 2.5K high resolution, 10-bit color depth, HDR400 certification, 500 nit high brightness design without fear of high-intensity light source, and can maintain delicate colors on the picture both indoor and outdoor. In addition, the high refresh rate of 165Hz can greatly improve the clarity of dynamic pictures, making the screen visual feel more smooth.
Lenovo YOGA 16s 2022 currently only provides AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor (7199 yuan), standard with 16GB LPDDR5 6400MHz memory, 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, a model with integrated Radeon 680M core graphics, the processor's continuous power consumption can release up to 54W, and the CPU performance is similar to the 12th generation Core i5-12500H with the same power consumption, and the actual gaming performance of the GPU is at the level of GeForce MX550.
Lenovo YOGA 16s 2022's interface includes a card reader, 2× USB-A 3.2 Gen1, full-featured USB-C, USB-C (supports charging), HDMI2.0, and headphone jack. The interface layout is the same as that of the Shinshi Pro 16 Ryzen version, except that the charging hole on the square port is replaced with USB-C.
In general, Lenovo YOGA 16s is an optimized and enhanced version of Xiaoxin Pro 16. It has better technology and better quality. The 165Hz refresh rate and 500nits brightness touch screen is its biggest killer weapon, and it has a better experience in some professional design software and multi-screen collaborative use scenarios. However, the starting price of YOGA 16s 2022 is relatively high. You can buy the top-end version of Xiaoxin Pro 16 for 7,199 yuan (Ryzen 7+RTX 3050 Ti). Who has the higher priority to purchase a higher quality touch screen and stronger 3D performance? It depends on your actual needs.
