Lenovo Yoga AIO i Aura Edition Review: Fast Intel Arc Performance, but a Dim OLED

What PCMag tested​

The review describes a 31.5-inch, 3840 by 2160 OLED panel driven by Intel's "Panther Lake" platform. The system ships with Windows 11 Home, 32GB of LPDDR5X-9600 memory and Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics. PCMag's tested unit has a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD that the review says is rated at up to 7.8GBps.

A processor-name wrinkle​

The review text contains an inconsistency. Its body names the chip "Core Ultra X7 385H", but its own spec table lists the Core Ultra X7 358H. Other outlets agree with the table. Windows Central's review of the same machine lists an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H paired with 32GB RAM and 1TB m.2 SSD storage. How-To Geek also lists the Core Ultra X7 358H. The "385H" in the prose therefore looks like a typo. If you're comparing listings, 358H is the model name to look for.

The core layout is 16 cores: four performance, eight efficiency and four low-power efficiency cores. The Arc B390 has 12 Xe cores.

Design and ports​

PCMag says the Yoga AIO i is easily mistaken for a fancy monitor. Its clear base is lit by ARGB lighting. By default, AI controls that lighting. It shifts colour with what you're doing, glows on notifications, and reacts to music, games and other media.

An adjustable A-frame leg holds the system upright and sets the display angle. Most ports sit on the stand:

• Two 10Gbps USB Type-A ports
• One 10Gbps USB Type-C port
• HDMI 2.1
• Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1
• The power connection

The right edge of the display adds another USB-C port, a 3.5mm combo jack, the power button and a camera-off switch.

Lenovo bundles a wireless keyboard (SK8866) and mouse (SM8866). The reviewer likes both. The keyboard has an aluminium top plate and near-silent chiclet keys, and the mouse is similarly quiet. The four-speaker system uses two 3-watt tweeters and two 5-watt woofers. The reviewer says it's loud enough to fill a small room, so a soundbar isn't needed for casual listening.

Performance: strong multicore, integrated graphics that punch up​

PCMag compared the Yoga with Apple's 2024 iMac, two Dell 24 All-in-One models (2025 and 2026) and Lenovo's outgoing Yoga AIO 32i. The review gives these results in charts, not in its text:

• Multicore work: the Yoga was significantly faster than the other AIOs in tasks such as video encoding and streaming, and in photo editing.
• Single-core and Photoshop: the iMac's M4 chip was ahead in both single-core tests and Adobe Photoshop.
• Storage: PCMark 10's storage test showed no SSD significantly outperforming the others.
• Graphics: the Yoga beat the Dell AIOs in all 3DMark tests. It also beat the older 32i's dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 mobile GPU in all but one test. The iMac couldn't run those tests.

The reviewer credits the Arc B390 and the fast memory for the graphics showing. PCMag says Lenovo doesn't position the machine as a gaming system.

PCMag's text gives no numeric scores for these tests. The comparison is qualitative, so you can't calculate margins from it. Other reviewers have published numbers. Windows Central, as relayed in a WindowsForum news post, recorded a Geekbench single-core score of 2,851 and multicore score of 16,964. Different outlets use different benchmark versions, so don't mix their scores.

The display caveat​

The OLED panel's colour coverage is above average, matching the older model and close to the iMac. The reviewer says it's more than sufficient for entry-level content creation. Brightness is the problem. In a moderately lit office with a large, tree-shaded window, the reviewer found the screen comfortable "but just barely". The reviewer wanted to turn the brightness up many times. The advice is to look at other AIOs if your room gets a lot of sun.

PCMag's pros and cons also say the system fan pipes up a little under heavy load.

Price and availability​

PCMag's snapshot, dated to its October 4, 2026 publication, says Lenovo prices the system at $2,869. It says the only retailer the reviewer found was B&H Photo. B&H listed a $3,395.84 configuration with two 1TB SSDs, which PCMag takes to mean storage is expandable. That differs from the reviewed single-drive unit. Prices elsewhere vary:

• A WindowsForum news post, citing MakeUseOf, says Lenovo lists the Yoga AIO 32IPH11 (Aura Edition) at $2,869.99 with two NVMe drives.
• Windows Central earlier reported $3,097.99 directly on Lenovo's website.
• A UK reseller listing shows £2,958.25.

I haven't verified current stock or pricing myself, so check the exact SKU before you buy.

Things to know before buying​

• Soldered RAM and CPU: How-To Geek reports you can't upgrade either of those components (just the M.2 2280 SSDs). Pick your memory carefully, because 32GB is what you get.
• PCIe 4.0 storage: PCMag would prefer PCIe 5.0 at this price. It says PCIe 4.0 drives still won't feel slow in Windows.
• Bright rooms: the dimness caveat above is the biggest practical risk.
• No discrete GPU option: Windows Central notes there are no configurations with a dedicated GPU from NVIDIA or AMD.

Bottom line​

This is a design-led, Copilot+ class Windows AIO. The reviewer's results put its multicore and integrated-graphics performance well ahead of the other AIOs tested. It's best suited to a home office or college setup with controlled lighting. If your desk sits by a sunny window, or you need upgradeable RAM, the review's own caveats point elsewhere.
