Can anyone please explain what the actual differences are between these 2 if I configure them without a GPU? Here’s what I found so far:

Ideapad pro 5

Can be configured with a 7640HS. Has slightly larger battery and more battery life according to spec sheet (22 vs 19 video playback). Has a higher resolution screen with 120Hz and adaptive refresh rate. Has an extra USB type A. Has an SD card reader.

Yoga pro 7

Has slightly larger screen but with lower resolution and only at 90Hz. Can be configured with a 3050 or 4050 dgpu but I don’t need one. Has 4 speakers instead of 2. Has better color options.

The price difference is quite big, for a 7840HS, no windows and 16Gb of ram, the Ideapad is 729 with 1tb ssd and the Yoga is 859 with 512gb ssd.

What makes the yoga so much more expensive, considering the worse display and the fact that I don’t want a GPU?
