Visually, the chassis can be best described as the 16-inch version of the 14-inch Yoga 9 14IAP7. The design is distinguishable by its rounded edges for a convex appearance as opposed to the often flat edges on most other laptops. As a result, the entire unit feels especially smooth since the rounded edges and corners transition more seamlessly to the touch with the rest of the laptop.

As for rigidity, both the metal base and lid are firm with minimal creaking or twisting for solid impressions. However, applying pressure to the keyboard center would result in visibly more yielding than on the competing Dell Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 and so there is still some room for improvement.

The system is heavy even for a 16-inch form factor. The Acer Swift X SFX16, Huawei Mate Book D 16, or LG Gram 16, for example, are each several hundred grams lighter while offering the same 16-inch screen size. In Lenovo’s defense, the Yoga 7 16IAP7 is at least comparable to the Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 in both dimensions and weight.
