Finding a reliable sub $1K laptop has become somewhat of a challenge. The RAM crsis continues to push laptop prices higher, but fortunately there are some moments of relief.

For example, right now you can get the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 for just $849 at Lenovo. That's $500 off and one of the best discounts I've seen for this 2-in-1. For more deals and expert recommendations, check out our best laptop deals guide and the Tom's Guide Savings Squad hub.

The Yoga 7i has a lot going for it. It packs a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS screen, Intel Core Ultra 5-226V CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. That's more than enough horsepower for streaming HD video, browsing the web, and day to day tasks. Plus, we also like that you can use it as a laptop or in tablet mode. Its 360-degree design makes it flexible and easy to use in any mode.

You can also rest assured that the Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is battle-tested and ultra-portable. It's just 0.69 inches thin while weighing 3.9 lbs. Plus, with 21 MIL-STD-810H durability tests passed, it's as tough as it is light.

We've reviewed older versions of the c and generally found the line to be a solid 16-inch Windows laptop that's priced to move. If you want an everyday, mainstream machine that can do it all — this Yoga 7i should be high on your list.
