I don't own the Hi8 Pro, but i have the Hi10 Pro for about 2 days. So far I like the tablet. Runs smooth and had no issues. battery life is about 3-4 hours (depending on workload). The keyboard dock is also quite nice. The only downside is that is is Windows only (no Android or dual-boot version). Also, it is more expensive than what Hi8 Pro will cost.
Chuwi Hi10 Pro Pros (over Hi8 Pro):
1 USB-3 Port and 1 USB-2 Port (vs only one USB-C port)
64GB internal storage expandable via microSD Card or external HDD (vs 32GB for Hi8 Pro)
4GB RAM (vs 2GB for Hi8 Pro)
10.1" screen (vs 8" inscreen)
Bigger battery (however, screen is bigger so it should last the same)
64-bit Windows 10 (Home edition)
Optional keyboard dock with trackpad (that ads another USB port as well)

For personally, I really like the Chuwi Hi8 Pro ...

Battery 4000 mAh will be the weak spot. Looking forward to your review!

Do you think it would be possible to install Android x86 on this tablet to get dual boot functionality?

Google's android 5.0 OS can be adapted with x86 architecture, the compatibility are gvery good. And it also can support ART mode ...

Do you have a custom rom for Hi8?
I mean for example RemixOS, MIUI with multi-language.

I perfer its new product, Chuwi hi12 . The screen size is large enough for me using.
Most important, i am interested in its pressure sensitive stylus and magnet C docking.

I saw the Voyo a1 mini being listed for such a low price, i just HAD to look up a review and found yours. What an amazing tablet this is!
Great review btw, you covered up pretty much everything where i was interested in and just bought one yesterday on Banggood for $164,49.
There are some 5% discount coupons if you google, and that will make it cost just $156 which is really really cheap imo
Imo 8" tablets are too small for windows...
The only complain about this tablet is the autonomy, only six hours of moderate work. I discover that it recharge, slowly, also from the microusb port. It's a little great machine IMHO. I don't regret my old netbook Aspire One, this Voyo is fastest, better screen, more practical and stable.

Chuwi HI10 Unboxing, Hands on, Performance, CPU, Camera, Battery Review

Today i would like to share the review about Chuwi HI10 with you. This is the high-end tablet PC with RAM 4GB ROM 64GB. Right now the RAM 4GB tablet pc is very rare among Chinese tablet pcs, most users are attracted by this nice and wonderful tablet pc with high performance. I am glad to share with you the review.

Check the main features of Chuwi HI10:
Operating system: Windows10 OS
Display:10 Inch 1920*1200 Capacitive touch screen
CPU:14nm Intel ATOM x5 Cherry-Trail Z8300 64 bit Quad Core 1.84GHz
Storage:4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, support T-FLASH 128GB max
Dual cameras:Front 2.0MP+ Rear 2.0MP
Functions:Support Bluetooth/OTG/WiFi/HDMI functions
Design and Build
When i got the Chuwi Hi10 tablet pc on my hands, it is really different from Chuwi VI8 plus, due to the larger than Chuwi Vi8 Plus. What’s more, the dimension of Chuwi HI10 has the length 257.5mm, the length 170.8mm and the height 9.9mm, the total weight is 553g, therefore, it still shows very light for most tablet pcs. It comes with 10 Inch 1920*1200 Capacitive touch screen, some users like the smaller size like 8inch, 9inch, but i am into the larger size like Chuwi HI10 with 10inch. Because I can use it to watch TV, movies, and play games more clearly and conveniently. I don’t know if you have the same feeling as me. If i utilize little tablet pc to watch TV or play games, i feel very uneasy, which has restricted me to know more from the TV Plays.
Second, Chuwi HI10 also have a original keyboard to let this tablet pc become a PC, namely, a 2 in 1 ultimate tablet pc of the year. I can use this tablet pc to do office work freely with the keyboard.
And the 10inch tablet pc has up to 224PPI sharpness, the screen shows more vivid and bright, which let me feel very satisfied.
CPU and Performance
Chuwi HI10 is powered by the latest Intel ATOM X5 Cherry Trail Z8300 64bit Quad Core 1.84GHz processor, which improves the overall performance better, Intel 14nm craft raises 50% performance than 22nm craft. As you know, Intel chip save more power, more power consumption, and higher efficiency. Chuwi HI10’s hardware has shown the perfect speed to play.
Moreover, it has HD graphics Gen 8 CPU, 12 Core EU units, multiple performance, and it has RAM 4GB ROM 64GB internal storage, doubled the traditional tablet PC in view of the game testing. I have tried the games like <<League of legends>>, << Cross fire>>, <<Warcraft>>, it shows very vivid and real, i am stunned by this nice tablet pc. RAM 4GB behaves very fast speed.
Dual Camera
Chuwi HI10 this time also uses dual camera with 2.0mp back and front camera like Chuwi VI8 Plus, camera has become more important tool for us to take nice pictures in our life. Front 2.0mp camera is good enough to take pictures or take selfies, but the back 2.0mp camera to some degree is not perfect for me to take the photos about my life. If the main camera improves the pixels, i guess i will use this tablet pc to shoot video or pictures for my life and work. But it’s okay for me to take it as the best partner of playing games, watching tvs. I have my nice smartphone to take the clear pictures. So this kind of element will not affect my love for this tablet pc, Chuwi Hi10.
Useful features
It support bluetooth, OTG, HDMI functions, which will let me use it easier, Chuwi HI10 support USB 3.0 speed, and HDMI port, and online blanking U shield, and mobile hard disk, docking port Gen 3, i can get the fourth port when connecting the keyboard, so the overall speed is quite outstanding. HDMI port is very useful to connect with my tv to enjoy more high quality movies and tv plays.
Battery
Chuwi HI10 has 8,000mAh battery, which is more powerful than Chuwi VI8 plus with 4000mAh battery. When i play the games for 5 hours, there are still much power left. I can normally use for a whole day without charging the tablet pc. In general, i use it to watch TVs. If you don’t believe, you can have a try.
Windows 10 OS
Most users want to update its tablet PC to Windows 10 OS, but i am glad to tell you that Chuwi HI10 doesn’t have to update, because it has been installed Windows 10 OS. When i use the windows 10 OS, i feel faster speed and better operation to compare with Windows 8 OS. But i need time to adapt to the new OS, after all , I just use Windows 8 before.
Final Thought
Chuwi HI10 Tablet PC can be the flagship 2in1 tablet PC of this year in view of the performance, the design and the selling price. RAM 4GB, HDMI Port, 8,000mAh battery, Windows 10 OS, Intel ATOM x5 Cherry-Trail Z8300 64 bit Quad Core 1.84GHz CPU, and the price below $200. These nice features make me enjoy this tablet pc more and more. By the way, if you want change it into a PC, you can buy an extra original keyboard for it. Then you can totally hold 2in1 PC now with spending less. What’s idea about it?
4 gb of ram
that's very nice for a windows 10 tablet, it will need 4gb of ram to run smoothly, and the quad-core inter processor looks like it can handle most things you throw at it. and the battery is very nice aswell. wonder if it can get any games to work. i have seen that the keyboard changes the interface from tablet mode to laptop. i like it when you have the tablet's own unique keyboard and not some random one. looks nice for a sub 200$ tablet

Hello and thanks for sharing it with us! Somewhere I read that it's battery has 6,500mAh instead of 8,000. Is it true?

Oh, right. That makes sense
Do anybody know where I can find the best price for it, for shipping to europe?
I just bought this one. Looking for a way to upgrade the SSD because the builtin one is only 64GB. Does it use M2? I also need to install Windows 10 Pro instea of home coz I need Microsoft Remote Desktop so i guess this would take much space..

Ok I just read that the type of SSD is EMMC which is not removeable.. Sad. But that's ok I can use memory card 128GB.

LCD IGZO Sharp confirmed for Apollo Lite:
http://www.vernee.cc/apollo-lite-will-have-sharps-igzo-screen/
Available in pre sale
Mod edit by @Darth : Sales site link removed. Not welcome on XDA.
Till now all I see from this company is pre-sale marketing. Has anyone (real customers I mean) actually "experienced" their first model?
How is the software optimization (for a "new and ambitious brand" it should be 101% optimized) on that one?
Will they offer OTA updates?
Did they even start to ship out the thor?.... To many question marks and pre-sale after pre-sale. No real life experience.
Bottom line:
Would I take a ~200$ chance on this nice spec but completely unknown Veenee Apollo Lite? The answer is Yes!
Would I keep 200$ locked for months in a unknown release date pre-sale? Don't think so.
They seem to be pre financing from pre sales... Just an opinion.
PS. Vernee changed the official page design " Due to the copyright problem..." No phones have reached customers and they already have copyright problems?! (http://bbs.vernee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4&fromguid=hot&extra=&mobile=2).

It's a real shame that the TF card has to share a socket with one of the SIM cards. I would be ordering one if this were not the case.

It will be for sure a 2in1 slot. In this last months, many brands using this tray 2in1, so cheap and no trouble to who have 1 sim and 1 sd card.. With 32gb internal memory and OTG, you can also use 2 sims, but your internal SD must be used externally with adapter and OTG cable when needed [emoji20] [emoji6]

A deal-breaker for me though
Vernee announce the new colour" Space Grey" for Apollo Lite:
details on Offical Blog:
Helio X20 10-core Vernee Apollo lite Grey Version released with the most decent design and craft! | vernee
Anyone understands GearBest's Pre-Sale deal on this one?
You have to place a deposit of 29,99$ until June 13th and on the 25th you will know whether you'll get an extra 30 bucks cash back or not.
What happens to the 29,99$ if you don't win the cash back deal and how much will you in the end pay for the phone? 230$? 260$?
Thanks!

This is not a development post.
It should be in Q&A.
Also why would anyone actually want to replace a perfectly good Android OS with a clunky Windows OS?
Just buy a Windows device in the first place.

it's massively different ? Cpu is intel ? Screen size is 10.6inch ? Unless I’m missing something? Witch windows tab did you compare yours with?
If you want windows 10 tablet buy the galaxy book 12. Same resolution, I5 with 128gb 4gb ram, amoled and s-pen. I have one, it's a nice windows tablet and I can dual boot android. Only killer is battery life. Winds sucks battery.

windows 10 too boring for tablet. Battery drain so fast, low perfomance, see youtube 2k lag frame rate and very hot. I had tab pro s12" and sold it. happy when use tab s4, fast and smooth, many app support for tablet android.
I actually have a wi sows tablet and hardly ever use it.
I have 5 android tablets and much prefer the simplicity.

Just install Android X86, I've installed on this and many other windows devices. Again keep in mind that while the I5 is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than even the tab s4 at most activities, is better at multitasking, has a fantastic keyboard and touchpad cove, and this is not a heavy tablet, the battery life is HORRIBLE even in android. The i5 just sucks up too much juice.
I prefer Android OS.
There is an application which supposedly is able to replace android OS with any windows version. You may check the following link and try it

When it comes to 2-in-1 convertibles, the Surface Pro lineup simply had no competition. Even the 2021 iPad Pro, with its incredible Apple M1 processor and an official keyboard, still doesn’t offer the same level of productivity as its Microsoft counterpart does. Many other big brands, including Samsung, Dell, and ASUS, have also released many hybrid models over the years, yet none of them really generated enough momentum to overtake Surface Pro’s Crowne. But that may change soon, as Lenovo just released the new YOGA Duet 7 (2021), which comes with a newer Tiger Lake CPU, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and some of the greatest features ever found on a detachable hybrid. It is bound to be a strong contender in the race.

Retail Package
The YOGA Duet 7 comes with very attractive packaging, the sand grey background color and accented letters give the retail box a premium look.
The YOGA Duet tablet and detachable keyboad cover are both nicely protected.
Inside the box we have also found a digital pen (even the AAA battery is included), a 65W power adapter, and some booklets.
Design and build
The YOGA Duet 7 has a magnesium alloy body that feels incredibly sturdy and high-quality in the hands. The slate grey finish of my unit is not only easy on the eyes, but it also has a lingering charm. I have never appreciated the look of a gadget for so long
We can see lots of cooling vents on the top side for hot air expulsion. The machine is actively cooled, and we can feel air wafting from the vents when it's under heavy workloads.
The front is dominated by a 13-inch IPS multi-touch display. The bezels are pretty thin all around, but the top and bottom are a little thicker than the left and right sides. That makes it possible to hold the Duet 7 as a tablet with minimal effort, without obscuring much of the screen.
The front-facing IR webcam also has a 5MP sensor that supports Windows Hello facial recognition and captures video at [email protected] That's a considerable upgrade from most consumer notebooks that get saddled with 720p sensors, and the difference was apparent in online video calls.
The left edge of the tablet sports a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, a Micro SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a multi-function USB-C port. Both of these USB-C ports support Power Delivery 3.0 and Video output, the Thunderbolt port even has DisplayPort 1.4 built in, thus is able to output [email protected] videos.
The right edge plays host to two physical keys: a power key and a volume rocker. There’s another USB-C port for data transfer and Always-On power output.
The YOGA Duet 7 includes a kickstand, which allows you to position its screen at nearly any angle from 0° to 160°. The hinge looks sophisticated and extremely durable, and is able to take a huge amount of pressure, you don’t have to worry about wearing it out in normal everyday use.
The device is also about as portable as you can get, the tablet weighs only 799 grams, while the ultra-thin keyboard, which also serves as a screen cover when closed, weighs only 380g– you’ll be able to throw the YOGA Duet 7 into your bag without worrying. The tablet has accompanied for more than a month now. I took it to the office and back every day, and even brought it with on a business trip for a week. It has survived a variety of interesting encounters. The most concerning was an accidental drop to the ground from a coffee table, which the machine survived unscathed.
I understand that Lenovo has designed the YOGA Duet 7 to be as travel-friendly as possible, but with prolonged use the device’s lack of a USB-A port becomes a serious issue. On too many occasions I found myself wanting – but unable – to carry out basic tasks such as connecting the Duet 7 to a mouse without Bluetooth, or pulling files from a USB stick. A hub would work just fine, but you just need to always remember carrying it with you.
There’s also no fingerprint reader on board. Windows Hello works fine, but I personally would still prefer using a fingerprint as it gives me a higher sense of security than the 2D face unlock does.
Keyboard and pen
The best news is that both the pen and the magnetic keyboard cover are already included in the retail package, you don’t need to pay extra for them. The keyboard cover here magnetically connects to the tablet and protects the screen when not in use. It won’t tilt up to a more comfortable typing angle like the Surface Type Cover does, but it has a built-in battery, and is able to serve as a Bluetooth keyboard even when detached.
The fabric on the back of the keyboard cover feels very nice in hand, and is more resistant to dust and color changing than the Alcantara fabric used for the Surface Type Cover. It looks better, as well.
The keys are not only physical, well-spaced and full-sized, but are also quiet and have decent travel. They are almost as tactile as how I would like them to be. In terms of its satisfying typing experience and high-quality haptic feel, the YOGA Duet 7’s keyboard is still inferior to a ThinkPad keyboard, which is, in my humble opinion, the industry best.
The touchpad has a decent size and a good feel to each click and accurately registered my input as I navigated the desktop, it is also quick to recognize two-finger and three-finger gestures.
The included pen, which supports 4096 levels of pressure, would be ideal for digital artwork. I am not blessed with the talent of painting, but I do take handwritten notes occasionally. The YOGA Duet’s pen is responsive enough for writing, although it can feel a little slippery at times. There’s a slight amount of latency, which is not really a big issue for average consumers like myself. But if you are a digital artist who have already gotten used to the Apple Pencil and Galaxy S-pen level of instantaneousness, you might find the pen here a little unsatisfying.
The two buttons on the pen are quite tactile and responsive, and there’s also a protruding part at one end to prevent the pen from rolling off the table. But unfortunately, there isn’t a dedicated place on the tablet or the keyboard to put the pen like there is on the Surface Pro 7.
Display and sound
One of the major differences between the YOGA Duet 7 and the Surface Pro has to be the 16:10 aspect ratio of its 13-inch, 2160*1350 IPS display. This display shows smaller black bars playing videos when compared to Surface Pro’s 3:2 screen, but shows more vertical real estate than similar 16:9 displays, which equates to more of a web page or more lines of code in a text editor.
The YOGA Duet 7’s display looks clear even from extreme side angles. At 196 PPI, the screen may not be the sharpest, yet it’s still difficult to pick out single pixels. Colors look vibrant and true to life, thanks to its 100% sRGB color gamut. The display can also emit up to 450 nits, which beats the Surface Pro 7 (395 nits) and the category average (386 nits), The Dell XPS 2-in-1 7390 has an even brighter display at 600 nits.
The stereo speakers (2*1W) are tuned by Dolby Audio out of the box. The EQ curve does its best, but the speakers are generally subpar, and won’t match Lenovo’s very own Tab P11 Pro, which comes with quad 1.5W JBL speakers. There’s enough volume for online chatting and occasional YouTube videos, but music, games and movies won't sound too good. Thankfully, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the side.
Performance
The YOGA Duet 7 is powered by the latest Intel Core i5-1135G7 Tiger Lake CPU, coupled with 16GB Memory and 512GB NVMe SSD. Without a dedicated graphics card, the YOGA Duet is definitely not a powerhouse, but it should still offer more than enough oomph for normal everyday computing tasks such as office workloads, web surfing and high-res video playback.
As much as I dislike benchmarks, they are the easiest ways to measure the horsepower of a PC. To help you better understand the results, I’ve also listed the scores of some other 2-in-1s here for comparison.
First, we ran Maxon's latest CPU-crunching Cinebench R23 test, which is fully threaded to make use of all available processor cores and threads. Cinebench stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image. The result is a proprietary score indicating a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. The YOGA Duet scored 1331 in single-core, and 4423 in multi-core. Although these scores wouldn’t match what the Apple M1 powered Macbook Air had achieved in the same test, but they did handily beat the numbers the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 had got.
In the cross-platform Geekbench 5.4.1 CPU test, the YOGA Duet’s 1411 CPU single-core score and 4742 multi-core score still lagged far behind the snatches of the new Apple Macbook Air, but they did beat the Dell XPS 2-in-1 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 7.
PCMark simulates different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows. We use it to assess overall system performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and video conferencing. 4262 is the number the Duet 7 notched in the standard PCMark 10 test.
This machine is equipped with a fast 512GB PCle NVMe SSD, readings in the CrystalDiskMark tells the story. The storage is also expandable with a MicroSD card of up to 1TB, if you are not too concerned with the read and write speeds the TF card could bring.
One of the biggest complaints about of the YOGA Duet 7’s configurations is its 16GB single-channel memory. Don’t get me wrong, 16GB is quite plentiful for any 2-in-1. The real problem is that the 16GB memory offered here is a single stick, instead of two 8GB memory sticks. This results in lower overall bandwidth and throughput speed. 3D games such as Assassins’ Creed and Fallout 4 may suffer immensely in smoothness when running on a single-channel memory. But in other games and applications, the performance difference between single-channel and dual-channel RAM may vary from subtle to unnoticeable. In the AIDA64 cache & memory benchmark, the read, write and copy speeds of the 16GB memory are not impressive, but still solid. The 85.2ns latency isn’t too bad, either.
The integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphis may not rival dedicated graphics found in gaming laptops and mainstream PCs, but it is still a huge step up from UHD 6XX GPUs. In the 3DMark Sky Diver, Fire Strike and Time Spy tests, the Duet's graphics scores are 9129, 2515 and 875 respectively.
In the real world use, the Duet 7 provides ample oomph for normal everyday computing, light media editing, and even some 3D gaming. The system didn’t slow down when I was opening a dozen webpages in Chrome at the same time, and never really left me waiting for it to process a task or command.
Editing videos in Power Director is generally smooth, filters and animations don’t take long to get applied to all layers of clips. However, I did spend 30% more time converting a 4K video on the Duet 7 than on the Xiaoxin 15 (ideapd S), which is powered by the same processor, but has dual-channel memory and a dedicated MX450 GPU.
As for multimedia entertainment, the YOGA Duet has no problem streaming 4K YouTube videos in Microsoft Edge, or decoding different formats of 4K local video clips.
The Intel Iris Xe Graphics is definitely not designed for intense 3D gaming, but it is capable of running most AAA titles in moderate settings. Fortnite was generally smooth under 720P and low visual effects, with average frame rates well above 45 FPS. League of Legends was smooth both in 720P (60 FPS) and 1080P (40-50 FPS), with visual effects set at low to medium.
Conqueror’s Blade was a different story, though. Even at 720P and low settings, frame skips could happen in intense fighting scenes. Game PP reported an average frame rates of only 23 FPS, which means that the title is playable on the Duet 7, but not all that enjoyable.
These were all the games I played on the Duet 7.
There’s an active cooling system in Duet 7’s slim body, and it is audible when the computer is under heavy workloads. Fortunately, the noise won’t be a constant distraction from what you are working on as it never gets too loud for comfort.
Battery Life
There’s a 42Whr battery under the shell, which gives the tablet 5-6 hours of screen time in mixed use. Lenovo advertised 13 hours of video playback for this machine, but that number was probably achieved with some extreme settings.
In my very own test, I set the screen brightness to 40%, which is generally ideal for indoor use, and played a 1080P video on loop for 9 hours, the YOGA Duet was left with only 2% of battery, so I believe it would be really difficult to squeeze more than 10 hours of screen time out of the machine.
The included 65W charger fills up the battery rather quickly. A full charge takes only around 2 hours, and you are able to get a healthy amount of refill during a short lunch break.
Connectivity
The Duet 7 comes with the latest WiFi6 for fast internet access, and Bluetooth 5.0 for connecting with wireless input devices, headphones and speakers.
With 3 USB-C ports on board, you are able to hook the YOGA Duet up to quite a number of external drives. The two Type-C ports on the left both support video output, which means you are able to distribute your computing tasks to two external monitors at the same time.
Verdict
While the YOGA Duet 7 (2021) may be considered to be a Surface Pro 7 alternative, there are many things that it actually does better than its pricier Microsoft counterpart: 1) The new 11th-gen Tiger Lake CPU is a lot faster. Even with the much-criticized single-channel memory, the YOGA Duet still beats the Surface Pro 7 (i5-1035G4) in almost every benchmark. 2) With a rechargeable battery inside, the magnetic keyboard cover also serves as a Bluetooth keyboard when detached. This means the Duet 7 will fit into more computing scenarios than other convertibles. 3) There is a Thunderbolt 4 port on the Duet 7 for high-speed data transfer (up to 40GB per second), [email protected] video output and fast charging. 4) The Duet 7 looks more stylish, although that may come down to personal preference.
However, there are also quite a few things that the Surface Pro 7 could do, but the YOGA Duet 7 falls short: 1) The keyboard cover won’t tilt up for a more comfortable typing angle. 2) There’s no dedicated place on the tablet or the keyboard for carrying the pen.
Still, for anyone looking for a travel-friendly 2-in-1 laptop, the YOGA Duet is the closest offering to a Surface Pro 7, and arguably one of the best choices out there.
Thanks for the very detailed review. This is a very interesting device. Can you confirm if this device has a TPM chip and eligible for windows 11 upgrade. I’m planning to pick one up soon but I read somewhere that it does not have the TPM chip.

unfortunately, the sad news it's does not have TPM, this new model no. is 13ITL6 which is not come with TPM and the wired thing the the previous model (named 13ML05) comes with TPM and for some reason lenovo decided to remove it in the new model !! now we should wait for Lenovo to bring it back to this model so we can put it as real alternative to Microsoft devices.

Just got this laptop couple of days ago. There is TPM 2.0 in this model and I'm already running Windows 11 Beta .
That's very strange. I got this day before yesterday. It's the same model - 13ITL6 with the exact same processor and ram (i5/8gb) and mine doesn't have TPM support. Can you please share your bios firmware and model number details? Mine is 82MA001VIN

That's the funny part. My BIOS does not have the option for Intel PTT. I have the same firmware GPCN19WW. This is ridiculous on part of Lenovo. Possibly they have used different motherboards for the two. Could you check your make? Details of mine are attached in the pic.
I am not sure if this will work to invoke the PTT but you can try to set the password for BIOS ...

This is really jarring. I wonder what's the reason for this? I hope it's firmware related and not an uninformed hardware revision that Lenovo undertook. Thanks for all your efforts!
It looks like windows 11 is coming to this model. check the below link.

I guess PTT will be enabled by bios update from Lenovo later

I also have the same model and don't have TPM Chipset. Also the spec sheet says the same

And good news is we are getting windows 11 for this model. check the link below. Yoga duet 7i(13, 06) has been listed under ideapad.

I spoke to another user from Sweden who has the same issue and says that Lenovo CC there suggested they'd be releasing a firmware update once final release of W11 is near. What's strange is that they turned off firmware PTT in some markets and left it on for others. The LTE variant has it mentioned although its spec by spec similar barring the addition of an lte modem. Its really strange. They crippled an otherwise amazing machine through useless software restrictions.

Very true.. Even I was wondering why would lenovo turn off the PTT.. i was searching for answers everywhere and after seeing official lenovo list for w11 upgrade I stopped searching. It's literally waste of time. Even Indian lenovo cc said this machine is eligible for w11. So let's wait for it.. Did u try registering in insider program?

Yes. I did. It says that the system doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11. The new health checker shows TPM 2.0 is missing. Btw, check your DM. Have sent you a message.

Lenovo has a new bios update GPCN20WW. Download it manually, install and in bios - press f9 to load defaults. You'll get PTT. Just got it on mine.

Yeah ..I manually did it.. looks like lot of options opened up now in bios. Interestingly windows 11 insider program isn't appearing for me. How about you?
Hey all, I just got the yoga duet 7i 1135g7 8 Gb and quite rapidly I noticed that it would hang or freeze briefly at random times.
I did a quick cinebench while checking temps cpu clock and temp and noticed that my device is very quickly thermal throttling with clock speed going to 1.9 Ghz (lowest noticed during the run was 1.6 Ghz) and my score was only of around 3350, anyone else having a similar experience?
I have the feeling I suffer from a bad paste application
