About this deal

Continuously using the keyboard seems to affect the battery life here, which impacted our Text Editing scenario. In multi-core tests, the CPU ends up at 80-90% of the maximum performance this chip is capable of in a full-size unlimited chassis, while in single-core tests it matches the results of any other 5800H laptop. Specs-wise, this generation of the Yoga Slim 7 Pro is based on the full-power 2021 AMD Ryzen 5000 H45 hardware platform, with options starting with the 6C/12T Ryzen 5 5600H processor, continuing with the 8C/16T Ryzen 7 5800H – on this unit, and going up to the 8C/16T Ryzen 7 5900HX. The system allows these to run at between 12.5 to 45 W of sustained power, between the different profiles. All in all, I still expect the Yoga Slim 7 Pro to be a solid buy in its class for those of your looking for a competent daily driver with the ability to occasionally run demanding loads. Don’t get this for gaming or any GPU loads, though, the Vega graphics isn’t much by today’s standards. You could perhaps consider the Intel variants for that, but you’re sacrificing on multi-core CPU performance there, and if you’re looking to edit photos or videos on your laptop, you should also consider the OLED variant with the wide-gamut panel over the IPS tested here.

Intel Iris Xe Graphics capability requires system to be configured with dual-channel memory. On the system with single-channel memory, Intel Iris Xe Graphics will function as Intel UHD Graphics. All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using the MobileMark 2018 battery life benchmark test. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use If 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. And just like the last Yoga 7 laptop I reviewed, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro has a glass touchpad. This is an important ‘win’ because what I consider to be some of the best alternatives, like the HP Envy 13, have plastic pads.Audio is handled by a set of stereo speakers that fire through grills on the underside. With the rounded shape of the D-Panel, the sound bounces off the table and the grills are not easily muffled when using the computer on the lap. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro’s fans only make light noise under pressure, with little of of the high-pitch sound that can be quite distracting. Battery life As far as the noise goes, the fans spin at 40-41 dB at head-level on the Extreme Performance and somewhere between 37-41 dB on Intelligent Cooling, based on load.

Over here in Europe, this Ryzen 7 + 16 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD + 2.8K IPS configuration goes for around 1200 EUR, which is competitive for what this is. Ryzen 5 configurations with the 2.2K display can be found for under 1000 EUR in many European countries, while the OLED variants are also available in some regions and selling for a roughly 100 EUR premium over the 2.8K IPS versions. 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. 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! Next, here are some benchmark results. We ran the entire suite of tests and benchmarks on the Extreme Performance profile on this Ryzen 7 5800H configuration, with the screen set on FHD resolution, for consistency with other laptops tested in the past. Here’s what we got.All battery life claims are approximate maximum and based on results using the MobileMark® 2014 and/or MobileMark 2018 battery-life benchmark tests. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use. The battery life is solid, even if it’s not spectacular and there are longer-lasting options. It will last you through most of the day, and you can make use of its portability by taking it on the go without worrying about finding the next outlet soon. As for the panel, the color coverage for the content-creator-minded Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces is a smidge underwhelming compared to the others, but sRGB is fine, and the brightness is right in line with the rest. The 11th Gen Intel Core chips seems to have been hanging around forever at this point, although new laptops with 12th generation chipsets are gradually starting to be rolled out.

The keyboard’s layout is standard for this sort of portable Lenovo laptop, with full-sized and spaced keycaps. The half-sized Up and Down keys need some time to get used to, but everything else is where it should be. There’s no extra column of function keys on the right side, as on other 14-inch designs, and that’s why Home/End/PgUp/PgDn are only available as secondaries bound to the arrows keys.
