16GB RAM for windows in 2026 is a crime!

This is a good laptop, but I highly recommend the intel version with the i7 256V over this one for the same price at best buy. This CPU series is widely praised for performance, efficiency, and battery life.

It has a 16" inch display and 300 nits (probably the biggest downside compared to this Ryzen model), IPS touch screen, but you're looking at steam deck level of gaming and near mac book level of efficiency and battery life.

I purchased the Ryzen version yesterday and have been experiencing extremely poor network performance. After extensive troubleshooting and reviewing forum discussions, the only way I was able to achieve a somewhat reliable and acceptable connection was to disable WiFi 7 and WiFi 6, then force the adapter to prefer 5 GHz. The laptop is using a Realtek WiFi card.

Do you agree that the Intel version likely comes with a better quality WiFi card and may provide a more reliable connection?

I'd rather get the AMD. Still handily bests Intel in my experience, especially the igpu.

If that is your only issue and everything else about your system is satisfactory, you can simply purchase a new Wi-Fi card and install it yourself. One of the most popular models is Intel AX210 and approximate price of $25

Historically AMD did and are still doing so with their high end 8060s/8050s iGPUs.

But Intel has nearly caught up with most of AMD's iGPUs. Just search up intel 140v iGPU vs 780m/880m for comparisons, you'll find that they are basically neck and neck, even with the potential downsides of Intel's lack of gaming drivers.

I'm really hoping AMD can cook something up to better compete.

As the other commentator said, you can replace the Wifi card with the intel card. Usually Intel laptops come with Intel wifi cards, but this is more true for high end Intel laptops or upper mid range laptops. There is a good chance that the Intel version of the Lenovo Yoga 7i has it since it could be considered to be a upper mid range laptop.

In general Realtek Wifi cards suck, but if you have done the steps to make the connection more stable (disable power-saving features that cause the card to drop out and reduce Roaming Aggressiveness) and you are currently satisfied with the connection and speed, then you might not even need to get the intel wifi card.

If the conenction remains stable on the Realtek wifi card, then I would only consider swithcing to an Intel card if your use case requires higher speeds and you have a router that supports Wifi 6e and Wifi 7 along with Internet plan of higher than 1 Gbps.
