Yoga Slim 7 Pro X 14 (R7-Windows 11 Home-32GB-1TB-RTX 3050-14.5" 3K (3072x1920) IPS 400nits Anti-glare) W/code

This is my personal feedback.

I bought the Yoga Slim 7 Pro X 14.5 together with the Teal Sleeve and the extended warranties (3 years) for both the machine and the battery with on site labour (no need to send the laptop). Total cost was around £942 with £48 tracked on TopCashback and Lenovo Rewards (still not showing but I believe they might show in about a month's time from the purchase date). Don't forget to join the Lenovo Rewards scheme before completing the purchase.

All images belongs to the Yoga apart from the vertical keyboard (a 4800u HP Envy x360 13.3) and one of the chargers (the big one) belongs to my Lenovo Legion (5800h 3070 RTX).

I can confirm the bottom display bezel is symmetrically wavey so it must be a feature/issue with this model but actually it does not bother me at all because it is symmetrical and my eyes are focused on the middle part of the screen, the rest of the screen or the keyboard. The available RAM for any apps is thus 28GB which is more than enough.

With my Internet connection at the installation time, the laptop recognized the extended warranties which brings the expiry date to 38 months (2 bonus months!).

One of the PROs of the Lenovo laptops is the battery conservation mode, which prevents the battery from fully charging when connected to the mains thus extended the battery life. All my other laptops are connected to the mains and this is one of the reasons why I chose Lenovo. Not sure if other brands offer this feature.

Strangely, the conservation mode was not available when I first installed Windows on the machine. Not sure if I had to update the Lenovo Vantage app, do a hardware scan (ACPI) or something else, but with some gimmick I got it working. See the pics.

I believe that every keyboard is different so, at first, I did not like this one because of the short travel distance and the big touchpad area. On the left side I had some misspells while adapting to the layout so I decided that the best thing to do was to use the keyboard! I am writing this review after using the laptop for about one hour and I got used to the keyboard so it is no longer an issue for me. The left hand wrist sits on the laptop while pressing the keys so it is more accurate. This is my personal feedback. I adapted more easily to the HP keyboard (in the photo). The keyboard is backlit (no RGB).

For those interested, the laptop is fast. I have installed a few apps (libreoffice, pycharm, paint.net, ....) without any problems at all, while doing something else, and the WIFI connection is also fast with no issues about the signal. I had just one app freezing at first (Roblox) but that was at the very beginning, no other issues and it could be app related. I do not do serious gaming for the lack of time but the CPU is fast. It handles Roblox games (which still benefit from a dedicated GPU) without any probs.

And (PRO) the laptop is quiet. The only noise I hear is my fingers typing on the keyboard. On my Lenovo Legion, from time to time, even if I'm not doing anything, the fan starts spinning and the noise is a bit annoying.

The feature I really like is the portability of the whole system! If that is a must for you, I would suggest this laptop without any doubt. The pic showing the two chargers is there for this purpose. My Lenovo Legion charger is 4 times the size of this one and it weighs a lot. Plus the Lenovo Legion is about 1kg (around 2 lbs) heavier than this one. I am comfortably sitting in my bed while having the YOGA on my legs, on top of its box as hard surface to dissipate any heat).

The charger is 100w and very small for such a laptop. I have not tried charging the laptop with a USB C hub which usually deliver 85w (I haven't got one yet) or with my small 65w GAN charger because the provided charger is small enough to bring it everywhere with me. The charger has a USB C connector.

For users who want a better GPU, I believe the charger will be much bigger thus you'll be sacrificing the portability as better GPUs need more Watts. The charger is light and even smaller than my HP charger.

I am comfortable with the display. I believe it is a matte display and any reflection is not bothering me. The font setting is 200%. If used at 100%, the characters are very very small. The resolution is 3072 x 1920.

PROs: speed, memory, dedicated GPU, backlit keyboard, good ports choice and camera shutter for privacy. The price of the laptop (£799 on Black Friday) was great. 1TB storage and 3 months XBOX game pass.

I really got used to the keyboard so it is no longer an issue.

A separate mention is about the box the YOGA came in. It is nice looking and small so I am keeping it for safely storing the laptop if I will ever leave it at home or as a laptop stand when using it far from a desk.

CONs:
Honestly, I cannot find one at the moment. I have been using the laptop for about 2 hours, apart from the installation time, and everything seems to be working as expected. Fingers crossed there won't be any HW issue but, if any, the warranty should really help.

Separately, I really do not like the sleeve. I bought it because I loved the teal colour, it was the cheapest option and readily available for delivery but it looks like fabric covering some hard paperboard. There is a waste of space at every side and, imho, limited protection. Quite sure that I'll replace it with a proper small laptop bag in the future. I can't fit the charger into it, just some memory sticks and paper sheets. The sleeve is a a bit rigid.

All feedback is personal and if you have any questions, please ask.

1. 32GB is a lot of RAM, plenty to run multiple programs.
2. Almost 4k monitor, 100% srgb so shows colours very well. Very good quality screen laptop for a IPS panel.
3. RTX 3050 is great if u don't plan to do hardcore gaming. Games like league of legends, fortnite, Valorant should run fine. But games like cod its a no. Because of the near 4k quality, 120hz and rtx 3050 combo. Plus laptop looks thin, doesn't appear to have good cooling for gaming.

So if u plan to use for work purposes, video watching, video editing this laptop specs seems perfect.

But yeah it's definitely a good deal, the specs u get for price is quite a steal. (edited)

waiting for the experts on this before i buy but it has everything i want. graphics card, high resolution screed, above 300 nits, 32 gb ram under 800.

finger on trigger!

This is not the laptop in the picture.

Found the battery length, after using "Compare";
Battery
Up to 15 hours

How many years warranty support to go for?

average 3.7 rating out of 17 reviews. i would be caution for this one as it's too cheap for this kind of spec and lifepsan prob won't last long.

actually saw a review suggesting this 3050 card is not great for Solidworks

seems like I need a 3060 spec'd laptop so appreciate any recommendations!

It seems the deal has increased to £1,099.99 now. Good thing I got it for £750. I will test it and see how it goes. I can always return it within the 14-day policy. There's another hot deal similar to this one: hotukdeals.com/dea…331 A lot better CPU and graphics card for an extra £200, but without the additional 16GB of RAM and 500GB drive. Again, not a big deal if you have cloud storage or don't plan to multitask heavily or using as a secondary pc.

Would you be able to get cashback using TCB?

Anyone know battery life on these?

Come on Lenovo, where's the batter life figure and weight? Surely with a laptop that is one of the first things you look at (particularly with one with as high spec as this and a 'real'(ish) GPU)? Not voting cold (as I think it should be hot), but still.....

I would like some advice on this too, as someone whose main purpose would be to have many tabs running on excel, word etc and using it for YouTube content creation is this a good laptop/anything it lacks?

Appreciate any guidance.

Is this touch screen?

Looks a great deal. Just a heads up - it says ships in 3-4 weeks. Should therefore arrived in time for Christmas but just wanted to highlight that.

Any idea if it's possible to pay this one in free interest installments? My credit card is already close to the limit as Xmas is approaching...

For anyone that wants this but don't need the gpu performance you can get a refurbished Intel model £250 cheaper here laptopoutlet.co.uk/len…tml

Less ram and storage but enough for most users. I've just ordered the AMD model

I've listed as it's own deal here hotukdeals.com/dea…d=7

As a reminder, considering that the deal is still available, I used topcashback and join Lenovo rewards. I bought the teal sleeve and the extended warranty for 3 years including the battery one. On topcashback it tracked as £48... Fingers crossed 🤞

is there a way to replace the rtx 3050 with 3060 or 4060 version or is it not upgradable - i plan to do this if the performance isn't good.

Hi... all this looks like a great deal - thinking of getting this for my son at uni. He needs something to run SolidWorks 3D design software and this looks like it fits the bill with 32gb and a dedicated gfx card.

The only thing I'm unsure of is AMD vs Intel and whether that would be a reason to consider an alternative ... appreciate any thoughts!

Just received my laptop today if anybody has questions...
