I know someone who owns a 7i, its apparently very good for light usage. By light usage I mean you basically cant drop it, you cant put strain on the hinges, you cant put it in a backpack with heavy items, and basically you have to baby it.
Do you mean yoga 7i or yoga slim 7i? Slim is the one that doesn't fold all the way back (maximum angle is 180 degrees) and still has a touchscreen but no stylus. Also how safe is it to sandwich the device between 2 soft-cover books?
Yoga 7i (non slim), and the answer would be no
The books alone can crush its chassis? Or the heavy things can break it from the sides?
Both, and they can cause damage to the screen
