The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is a lightweight business laptop with a 14-inch OLED display, weighing 2.8 pounds. It is powered by a Snapdragon X2 Elite processor and Qualcomm's Adreno GPU, with configurations up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, priced around $1,000.
Display and Performance
The model tested features a 2.8K OLED display at 120Hz refresh and 1,100 nits peak brightness. The display is crisp but glossy, and its brightness can take a toll on the battery. The laptop is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite chip with 18 cores at 4.7GHz max frequency, delivering up to 45 TOPS for faster on-device AI applications.
Battery Life and Charging
The laptop has a 70Wh battery, and its performance is virtually indistinguishable whether it's plugged in or not. It also features fast charging, with Lenovo's 'Rapid Charge Express' giving three hours of runtime after a 15-minute charge. The laptop can charge from 2% to 45% in under 30 minutes.
Compatibility and Gaming
Most apps now run natively on ARM, except for niche apps, proprietary software, older device drivers, games, and some audio-related apps. The laptop can run games like 'Elden Ring' and 'Cyberpunk 2077', although with some settings adjustments. Older games like 'Eve Online' are more playable and enjoyable on the bright OLED display.
Design and Features
The Yoga Slim 7x has a premium build, with a lightweight aluminum chassis and very little flex. The 9MP webcam is very good, comparable to what a Mac user would be used to. The keyboard is also very good, with Lenovo's signature design and tactile key travel. The laptop has three USB-C 4.0 ports, all with power delivery, 40Gbps transfer speed, and DisplayPort 1.4.
