I test and review the keyboard of the latest ultrabook by Lenovo - the Yoga Pro 7
I have the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i for almost two weeks now and it is time to share some first-hand consumer feedback about its different components. In today's review I will be talking about the features and performance of the keyboard of my Yoga Pro 7.
Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 - general info
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 is a relatively new model line from their laptop department, targeting content creators who want a portable and yet powerful ultrabook on the go. My laptop is equipped with the mighty Intel Core Ultra 125H processor with 7-core integrated Arc iGPU, 32B of DDR5 memory and 1TB for storage. This configuration is quite adequate for most of my daily tasks and also for some content creation - already tested it with Premiere Pro and it did just fine editing long Full HD videos and short 4k clips with ease.
Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 - the keyboard
The Yoga Pro 7 is a 14.5-inch laptop but the smaller formfactor does not affect the keyboard significantly. Of course in this size we wouldn't expect to see a numeric keypad, something that is reserved for the bigger model - the Yoga Pro 9.
1.5 mm travel dash keyboard - that is the feature that Lenovo promotes on a sticker directly under the keyboard itself. And yes, the key travel is pretty good for an ultrabook and many of the direct competitors have shorter travel like 1.2 mm or so.
Generally speaking this keyboard is quite comfortable to type on. It is relatively silent, except for the spacebar which is quite loud and clicky and so is the touchpad, which is pretty big and responsive but I would highly appreciate it if it was a bit softer to the click.
Copilot key - the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 has the new Copilot shortcut key included in the keyboard. This is a brand new feature, introduced for Windows 11 machines. Copilot should be a shortcut to new Windows AI integrated features which to be honest I am still not familiar with - if you are, please drop me a line in the comments below.

Backlit keys - Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 has a backlit keyboard and the light is also configurable, you can dim it up and down to your preference.
Verdict
To rate a keyboard, to say how good or bad it is I think one should use it at least for a year. And for durability ratings even more. On first hand the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 comes with a very usable and most of the time quite comfortable keyboard. It has long key travel, it is backlit and would suit most consumers.
