About this deal

Worth mentioning that this also gets dim on the lowest brightness settings, something to consider if you use your laptop at night, in the dark. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro is available in stores at the time of this post, but the availability and configurations vary greatly between the different regions.

Only the Slim 7 Pro and its own RTX 3050 could better these results, thanks to its larger chassis with more cooling capability than the Pro X. For moderate graphics-reliant work and gaming at low-to-medium settings, the Pro X is the easy winner among these 14-inch-and-under laptops. Battery and Display Tests Finally, Lenovo also offers a non-glare variant of the 2.8K IPS panel in the select configurations of this Slim 7 Pro built on the Ryzen HS hardware platform. Those are not available everywhere. Hardware and performanceIf you’re after improved GPU performance in this chassis, you should look into that Ryzen HS + MX450 configuration, if available and fairly priced in your region. The keycaps are plastic, slightly rounded a the bottom, and not as soft to the touch as on the upper-class Lenovo models, but still OK. The screen is one of the major selling points of this Yopa Slim 7 Pro series, as it’s a 16:10 format with high-res IPS or OLED panels. All of these are glossy on most Slim 7 Pro variants, but without touch. However, there are also some Yoga Slim 7 Pro variants built on the more efficient Ryzen HS hardware platform with LPDDR4x memory (also up to 16 GB) and optional Nvidia MX450 graphics. Alongside, Lenovo also offers the Yoga Slim 7i Pro models built on Intel Tiger Lake H35 hardware with LPDDR4x memory and Iris Xe graphics. Holly molly! Lenovo went with an advanced thermal module here, the most complex we’ve seen so far on this kind of portable laptop. They use two fans and two heatpipes, which is not uncommon, but the particularity is the fact that both heatpipes cover both the CPU and GPU, which is excellent for the 45W combined output of this implementation.

The next part of this article goes over this laptop’s performance in demanding loads, benchmarks, and games. The Pro part in the same does not mean the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro is more powerful than the standard Yoga Slim 7. It means the screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio rather than the 16:9 style you’ll see in lots of other mid-range Lenovo laptops.

Finally, I should mention there’s an HD camera placed at the top of the screen, OK for occasional calls, but washed out and not much in terms of quality either. Battery life The performance in sustained loads, paired with some very well balanced power profiles, thermals, and noise levels are the primary selling point of this series over other compact notebooks with similar capabilities, and that’s mostly because of the beefy thermal module inside this design, which allows higher sustained power settings, lower temperatures, and quieter fans than on competing products. There’s also a specific variant of this laptop built on Ryzen HS hardware with LPPDR4x memory and Nvidia MX450 graphics.

That AMD Ryzen HS + MX450 confirmation with the matte screen seems to be available in certain parts of Asia for now, but not over here. Finally, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a sibling of the Slim 7 Pro X, but notably larger with a 16-inch screen. It will highlight just how capable the Pro X is for its size, as will the fact that most of these systems are more expensive than Pro X. The Slim 7 Pro is also the only other laptop with a dedicated GPU, another reason it’s included—this highlights how uncommon a true GPU like the RTX 3050 is at this size. These competitors, and many other 13- and 14-inch systems I could’ve chosen from as comparisons, use integrated graphics. Productivity Tests The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro’s performance offers nothing new, but its comfortably speedy enough to pace through productivity tasks with ease. According to our benchmark tests, it’s not quite as fast as the Dell XPS 13, despite sharing the same chip, but the performance difference should be negligibleAvailability: Offers, prices, specifications and availability may change without notice.

We also noticed very little light bleeding around the edges.

Because life happens

Also, this unit ended up less efficient than other Ryzen models tested recently. Switching over the screen to 60 Hz (Fn+R) should help squeeze a little longer runtimes with streaming and light loads. As a result, the components end up running at good temperatures at max load. Sure, the fans are a little choked out, and lifting up the laptop or placing it on a cooling pad has a big impact on those internal temperatures, but you can also run demanding loads with the laptop sitting on the desk here. Actual battery life may vary depending on application usage, settings, features or tasks selected, network configuration, operating temperature and many other factors. We also ran a couple of DX11, DX12, and Vulkan titles on the Extreme Performance profile of this Ryzen 7 + Vega 8 configuration, at the screen’s native FHD+ resolution and at FHD 1080p, with Low/Lowest graphics settings. We tested at FHD – 1080p as well so we can compare these results with other similar platforms tested in the past. Here’s what we got: Ryzen 7 5800H + Vega
