  how does the new 12th gen i5-1245U compare with i7-1165g7?

  The 12th gen i5 apparently have 10 cores?

    12th gen comes with performance and efficiency cores.

        2x performance cores, 15% better than 11th gen cores - however there is only 2, vs 4 cores on the 1165g7.

        8 low power cores, each with 60% performance of a performance core.

        Overall, 2 performance cores isn't enough when performance is needed. Multicore benchmarks that use all 12 threads are irrelevant, that isn't a realistic workload on a laptop.

        All the 12th gen U series have only 2 performance cores. Wait for a deal on a 12th gen H series, even the cheapest i5 1250H has 4 performance cores and 4 low power cores, and will be better than an i7 11th gen.

          @greatlamp: Thanks for the run down.

          But it doesn't sound too promising, going from 4 cores to 2 cores and then adding 8 "efficient" cores and calling it 10 cores sounds like marketing ploy

  If the memory and storage upgradability isn't a priority, the Yoga 7 Gen 7 is a better buy.

  $1558 with the 6600U + OLED
  $1725 with the 6800U + OLED

  Comparing the specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 6600U/6800U vs i7-1165G7
  • RAM: 16GB DDR5-6400 (Soldered) vs 16GB DDR4-? (Upgradable)
  • Display: 2880x1800, 90Hz, Touch vs 1920x1080, 60Hz, Touch
  • Storage: 512GB PCIe Gen 4 vs 512GB PCIe Gen 3
  • Networking: WiFi 6E, BT 5.2 vs WiFi 6, BT 5.0
  • Biometrics: Windows Hello + Fingerprint vs Fingerprint
  • Speakers: Up-firing vs Down-firing
  • Webcam: 1080p vs 720p
  • Connectivity: 1 xUSB 4, 1 x USB-3.2 Gen 2, 1 xUSB 3.2 Gen 1 vs 2 x Thunderbolt 4, 1 x USB-3.2 Gen 2
  • Warranty: 1 Year Depot vs 3 Year Onsite

  Both can fold and come with active styluses. Opting for the 3 Year Premium Care Warranty brings the Lenovo with the 6800U up to about the price of the Asus.

    You're an asset to the community! That's a decent side by side comparison, thank you.

    I can't seem to see the version you mentioned at the link to the Yoga. Also getting windows professional costs $114 more and it's windows 11.

    Speccing up to the 6800U model and to include the win11pro brought the cost to $2,070.14, or I just don't know what I'm doing.

    No option for 3 year warranty either. Just the one option of 1 year…

    Never mind me, this post explains it. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/711525

    Pro Windows still adds $114, but no option for 3yr warranty. New total is $1,800.81 which is still very decent!

      No worries!

      Sorry I should've explained the process. I'll explain it for anyone else who may be interested.
      Select the $1429 option. Adding the 6800U and the OLED brings it to $1725. Under 'Services', under Premium Care Onsite Support the option 'Three Years +$198' is there which brings it up to $1923 but as you said, that's with Windows 11 Home. Don't forget to check Cashrewards/Shopback for offers.
