Hey,

I'm looking to take advantage the current eofy sales on the lenovo website plus the current cash rewards deal.

I've found the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i with a 32gb ram and 1tb ssd for $1677 plus 15% cashback (https://imgur.com/a/gbpxC5R) and while it seems like a great deal and relatively "future-proof" I wonder if there something more appropriate and cheaper, and whether I really need the 32gb. The base model comes with 16 but it's soldered, and I worry that soon won't be enough to run easily.

At the moment I don't do much with a laptop but basic home use, but I do need a new one. I want one that will last me a good number of years (5+), will be reasonably fast, and will work decently if I start using it for wfh. It also needs to be on the lighter side as I will like travel with it.

A lot of tech stuff is well above my head, so I don't think I need anything too flash, but I'll gladly take suggestions for other models. I would prefer Lenovo, but Asus would also be welcome. My upper budget is 1500 but I would ideally like around 1200

  I would say absolutely yes to the 32gb of RAM, regardless the model you go for and specially if it's soldered.
  I like Lenovo ThinkPad and Yoga laptops, they're very good quality 👍

  I just bought a 2023 yoga 7 (not pro) and it's great. Mines a 2-in-1 and its not so light. I use a ThinkPad X1 carbon for work and it's a feather by comparison - so maybe look around try some out in store to be sure?

  One of my family has been using a yoga laptop since 2016 and its now getting a little slow. So I think you're getting the longevity you're after with the one you're getting.

  32gb RAM is overkill for general home use right now. I think 16gb will be fine for at least 5 years.
