Our Verdict
Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 (2024)
Apple MacBook Air 15 (M3, 2024)
The Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 (2024) and the Apple MacBook Air 15 (M3, 2024) are very different laptops despite targeting general productivity users. The Lenovo is a 14-inch mid-range Windows convertible laptop, whereas the Apple is a 15-inch traditional clamshell laptop. The Lenovo is arguably more versatile, as its form factor allows you to use the device as a tablet and includes a stylus. However, for anyone seeking a premium user experience, the Apple is the clear winner, as it offers a brighter display, better touchpad, vastly superior speakers, a lighter and sleeker design, and with no fans, it remains quiet while under load.
