Lenovo X1 Yoga | Intel i7 (8th Gen) | 16GB + 512GB | 14" Touch UHD

The Lenovo X1 Yoga (14") is a premium 2-in-1 that combines a svelte metal chassis, enterprise-grade security and a vivid 14" touchscreen for professionals who need a convertible without compromise. This configuration — Intel Core i7 (8th Gen or equivalent), 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD — is tuned for serious multitasking, creative collaboration and all-day productivity whether you’re in a Nairobi boardroom or working remotely across the Kenyan coast.

Overview — who this is for

If you travel frequently, give presentations, or need a single device that doubles as a laptop and a tablet, the X1 Yoga delivers. You get a 360° hinge for tent and tablet modes, a Dolby Atmos speaker system for clear conference calls, and multiple security layers (fingerprint, IR camera and ThinkShield options) to keep client data safe. The lightweight build (around 1.36 kg) makes it comfortable to carry between offices and campuses, while the 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM provide the headroom required for large spreadsheets, photo edits and virtual meetings.

Detailed product description & benefits

Performance is centred on a high-efficiency Intel Core i7 (8th Gen in this SKU family), delivering strong single- and multi-threaded performance for productivity apps. The 16GB RAM (LPDDR where specified) helps maintain dozens of browser tabs, virtual machines or complex Excel files without stutter. Storage is a fast 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD that shortens boot times and reduces app load delays — an important advantage when you need to present quickly in client meetings across Nairobi or Kisumu.

The 14" UHD (or high-res WQHD/UHD, depending on the variant) touchscreen provides wide colour coverage and high brightness (400 nits on higher-end panels), making it excellent for content review and creative work. Integrated Intel graphics are power-efficient and handle FHD video playback and typical creative apps comfortably. Collaboration features — four far-field microphones, a crisp HD IR webcam and Dolby Atmos audio — improve remote meeting quality, and options for WWAN keep you connected when Wi-Fi is spotty.
