Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x - The Best One So Far?

Review of the Lenovo Slim 7x Snapdragon X Elite laptop. It's one of the best ones yet. Hopefully this helps you decide!

I actually like the side power button. I prefer to use my laptop docked a lot and not having to open it to reach the power button is awesome

After seeing the Microsoft webcam; I cannot unsee that glory.

Been waiting for this review in particular!

I have this laptop. It is amazing in person. It looks great, feels great, has an incredible OLED display, good speakers, great battery life + standby time, and it is eminently portable. The ports don't bother me because I am forward-looking anyway. I just bought a USB-C thumb drive, and I'm good to go. I'm only waiting for Linux support before I am truly happy with it.

Isn't it misleading to put non-x360 laptop in the Yoga lineup? Many people would be looking to buy it thinking that it is convertible laptop.

recall and good stuff in the same sentence made me chuckle.

so now you can finally review the Surface Laptop 7 too :) would be great to see how a base model performs with the X Plus SOC.

Thanks for letting us know about the compatibility issues because NO ONE said anything about that and I bought one. Taking this thing back asap 😂.

The biggest issue with ARM based windows laptops is the lack of optimization for ARM. In that aspect you are better off going for an Apple laptop. Since you won't be gaming much (if at all) on these CPU's anyways then you really don't need the other Windows things either (I guess).

I think tolerance for incompatibility depends on the nature of the "hiccups, " If things just run more slowly for now until the next update, I think that's acceptable. But if we have a printer or external keyboard or monitor or speakers that doesn't work, and timing for a fix is completely unknown, that's a lot harder to accept.

"Now this has 90hz refresh rate". Thats where the review ended for me as a potential buyer but I sat around because I respect Mathew.

Don't care about best looking, we wanna hear how it performs

[EverydayTechSJB]

This is the laptop I was planning on buying, so far looks outstanding

[PalchikVykin]

Really wish manufacturers would move away from 16Gb and move towards at the very least 32Gb being the minimum with 64-96 options

Have you reviewed the Surface Laptop 7? I ended up going that way instead of with this one but am curious on the comparison, but I only see the surface pro oled in the numbers.

I don't know what apps other people are using that they say the Snapdragon SOCs are no good or only for low power, etc. I'm currently using mine for software development (Visual Studio & VS Code) and it's great. A real powerhouse. I'm not sure what you might want to do (other than video editing) that would want more power, tbh.

The power button placement on the side is a deal breaker. You'll end up turning on the laptop accidentally when it's in your bag.

I was told by lenovo tech support that indeed this laptop can support an egpu because its got usd c with the same output as thunderbolt 4

Love how these look, but I went with the Samsung (16") for the screen. Super happy with it so far

Beautiful machine! Hopefully they make a variant WITHOUT Windows or permit us to replace Windows with Linux-on-ARM.
