Lenovo’s 13″ Yoga 6 2-in-1 laptop has been updated for 2022 with Ryzen 5000 series processors and a 16:10 1920×1200 display. They’ve packed a lot of value into this one. See my full review here.
They checked all of the boxes here: decent casual gaming performance, that nice 16:10 display, a 1080p web cam, backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader along with face recognition, relatively quiet fan noise, a thin design that weighs just under 3 pounds and excellent battery life. It also has a carpeted display lid if you’re looking for something a little different from an aesthetic standpoint.
Lenovo loaned me the entry level version for this review that is currently on sale for $599 (affiliate link). Its Ryzen 5500U is fine for most tasks and light gaming, although the 5700U option with 16GB of RAM will provide better performance for games and video editing.
Just note that the better performing Ryzen 6000 series chips are now making their way out to laptops like this one. I have no doubt it a year’s time (or less) we’ll see better performing units at around the same price point as this one. But if you’re need an affordable all-rounder right now, this is definitely one worth looking at.
