Look into some of the optimizations made to windows by the tiny11 project and implement what you can. Windows 11 loves to sit at around 4gb ram usage but they were able to trim it down to below 2gb.

Soldered RAM is unfortunate, but would be tolerable if there was a 2nd RAM slot available. The yoga 7 does not have a 2nd slot, so there is zero upgrade path.
For a little but more $ I would recommend something like the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 gen 5 or gen 6. The base models come with 8gb RAM soldered but there is a 2nd RAM slot and crucial or amazon sells the 16gb RAM for less then $35. It's easy to self install and for the extra $35 you have total of 24gb ram.
Direct from Lenovo there are frequent sales and promo codes and the last two ThinkPad e14 I bought recently were both under $550, after customizing to add touchscreen, the higher end webcamera, larger battery, and backlit keyboard.

Being in the market for my kid's school laptops all summer the sudden push for Chromebook Plus devices to run AI (Gemini) to not stay in the shadow of the Microsoft Copilot+ PCs. (all crap if you ask me)....
