Intelligent Cooling – limits the CPU at 35W sustained, and ramps that fans to 37-41 dB at head-level in sustained loads; Compared to the 2020 Yoga Slim 7 built on the Ryzen 7 4800U platform, this ends up 10-20% faster in single and multi-core tests, with a greater difference in the longer duration tests that benefit from the higher sustained power of this model. 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. 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. 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.

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. The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet work, web browsing, and videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's boot drive.A lot of the Lenovo look rests on something quite simple: the shape of its keyboard keys. They have rounded bottoms, softening the appearance of the keyboard plate.

Communicate faster and with more accuracy and comfort on a precision-crafted keyboard with keys that offer faster, bouncier, and more responsive typing. You'll never feel cramped when typing on the generously sized keys and full-sized arrow keys. 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 Colour is solid without reaching into the wide gamut range of an ultra-high-end laptop. It covers 97.4% of sRGB, 79.1% of Adobe RGB and 82% of DCI P3. This is enough to make the display appear well-saturated, and if you want richer colour Lenovo is offering an OLED version of this laptop.

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 negligible 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
