Hello Blender Community,
I’m considering upgrading my current setup to the Lenovo Yoga 7 2 in 1 laptop and would appreciate your insights on its performance with Blender. The model I’m eyeing features a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and integrated Intel Arc Graphics.
My typical workflow includes modeling, texturing, and rendering, primarily for still images and short animations. I occasionally work with high-poly models and complex scenes. Given the integrated graphics, I’m curious about its handling of GPU-intensive tasks within Blender.
Additionally, the 2-in-1 design and touchscreen capabilities are appealing for sculpting and texture painting. Has anyone utilized the Yoga 7 16 Inch 2 in 1 Laptop touch features with Blender? Does the stylus input offer a smooth experience comparable to traditional graphics tablets?
Battery life is another consideration, as I often work on the go. Reviews suggest it offers substantial usage time, with reports of up to 9 hours during continuous multitasking.
However, I’m interested in real-world experiences, especially during intensive Blender sessions.
Lastly, any insights on thermal performance during prolonged rendering tasks would be valuable. Does the laptop maintain performance without significant throttling or overheating?
I look forward to hearing about your experiences or any recommendations you might have for a laptop suitable for Blender within a similar price range.
Best regards,
Alina
