I'm really impressed with your efforts to make dedicated videos for each sub topic covered in great detail, I enjoyed your review, and really appreciate it.
Thank you very much, really appreciate it! It's topics that I'm very interested in myself and do anyways, so thought it would be good to share them as well :)
Thanks for doing this - does look promising! Hoping mine will arrive by end of August, fingers crossed... I'm not usually one to buy a new product as soon as it's released, hoping this works out OK. Haven't heard of any quality or reliability issues so far (unlike, say, Dell XPS)
Ah yeah I had a Dell XPS15 ways back which scarred me (6 onsite visits and 2 replacements). Cant speak to the quality now however and would hope its better. :)
exactly what I was waiting for, and exactly the results I was hoping for. a 70watt hour battery with the latest AMD chip is quite an amazing combo. I can't wait for mine to arrive now. I'm not sure why Lenovo has a 9 series when the 7 line seems to get the right combination of features. Maybe they're designed by different teams and are allowed to go head to head against each other? 120hz, 3050, 6000 AMD, under 1.3KG and high definition screen (but not 4K so as to save a tiny bit of battery) and a 14.5'' screen instead of the standard 14''. Brilliant.
Glad to hear it! Yes the combination is great and was also very glad to see the runtimes as it creates some slack of likely guaranteeing +7hrs of mixed productive work combined with very low standby discharge (will test this as well). As for 9-series vs 7-series, I believe its the standard approach of offering that little bit of extra performance for that much more money, as some will always pay significantly more for a few single digits of performance gain Please check out my shorts video regarding the weight: czcams.com/users/shorts24hE6-Yjakk?feature=share

Looks really promising! I got mine last week but had to return it because the glossy display that I opted for was a bit too glossy for my taste. Have reordered it with matte option now. You have the matte one right? How do you experience the fonts, are they smudged or crisp?
Ah interesting and thanks for that information! I do love the all encompassing glass screen and would have wanted that instead of the plastic frames, but hearing from several sources and using the laptop as various places I'm very glad I opted for the non-reflective screen. The fonts feel very crisp to me and I really love the screen.
I got the matte and was a bit worried at first but can report it looks good! The matt surface is pretty smooth compared to what I've seen on older laptops and contrast looks good. Hearing that the glossy probably isn't using good anti reflective glass (which is expensive, granted) I'd recommend the matte. If you can manage the light behind you though I'm sure both are nice :)
Great video, just got mine. Just a question - does your battery estimate on Vantage or through Windows give a really low estimate? I’m in battery saver on both and I haven’t seen it estimate more than 5 hours max.
@@fyriss_ hey, I think as you use it, it learns more about your usage and predicts a longer time, but in general Vantage is mostly inaccurate imo. Still, I’ve been pretty happy with the battery life for the laptop’s size and performance, and switching to battery saver and 60hz in a pinch can really increase the time running. So I think after some time you’ll have a better feel for your specific usage 👍
@@toni.k Yea, I figured out I have used extreme performance mode by mistake on my laptop so it haven't last very long. I switched to battery saving and now I can do at least 9 hours of usage
Hello, I am a private user, so this is from my own personal perspective and experience! I just received my Yoga slim 7 pro x (ryzen7 + with rtx3050) and I am somewhat negatively surprised by the poor battery performance of my device, I can literally watch the battery persentage running down point by point. When I buy a 3k screen, with 120hz refresh rate and 400nits brightness I dont want to scale down to FHD resolution, 60hz and 200nits brightness. Right now I am doing absolutely light work, checking Emils or watching CZcams Videos. My screen is on 3k, with 120hz and ca. 75% brightness. The windows battery mode is on balanced, the lenovo vantage mode is on intelligent cooling and I am barely getting more then 4!!! hours out of my device. The rtx is also not running! Right now I am just really disappointed, how can this be? Why putting together such a devive if you cannot use its full potential? What am I supposed to do with 4h battery, I feel like 10years ago where I couldn´t leave the house without charger! SInce I started writing this comment my battery went down from 93% to 89% its ridiculous.
Responded to your other comment. Reducing the desktop resolution down from 3K to FHD is not something that I advice, apart from the streaming resolution for CZcams.
@@WattPerformance On 200nits the screen is so dark I cannot work with it. As I said, why buying a 120hz screen if its tears down the battery and I have to reduce to 60hz. I am just about to sent back the notebook. Who wants to run its brand new notebook on battery saver mode only to achieve the promised 10hrs+ battery life?
@@renebayer9548 "Why putting together such a device if you cannot use its full potential?" Well, because you can. Contrary to popular belief, most people do run their laptops in not-so-few cases while plugged in. Why put together a device that has to be so handicapped and only run at battery-friendly performance levels ? Thing is, 10 years ago you didn't have any problem running the laptop in 1366x768 or 1920x1080p resolution. With probably worse color accuracy. Probably less brightness too. And you had to wait 10 seconds for a google sheets page to load. Nowadays you have much more than that. You really can dial down the settings and not miss much.
I think there's no long life battery laptops under Windows stil. So if you want to work whole Day on battery you should buy a macbook m1 (and you're still not be able to run heavy tasks) or somehow enable maximum energy saving. Sad but True. I don't know when AMD or Intel wil be able to achieve m1 results. :(
@@aleksandr4409 some people have problem from handicapping thier Windows Laptop and trying to compare it with M1. However, they might aren't released that M1 will tone down the performance automatically in regard with the application. It is quite smart, considering you don't need full performance for office and browsing.
Thanks for the video! I'm hesitating between the amd and the intel one. The intel one have an hdmi port which i'd like to have whereas amd one has an usb A instead, also with intel i'll have thunderbolt4. But i'm scared about battery life on the intel one, hard to find review ^^. My current laptop with ryzen 7 4800u perform really well about battery ^^.
Very odd. not sure how you're getting 7w discharge rates whilst actually doing things. I just got mine and I'm seeing 9.5w whilst completely idle. CPU below 1% running at 2GHz, 60fps screen, 3050 not being used (but not deactivated through bios). I will try that now as well.
I find this Laptop really appealing. How much fan noise do I have to expect? During light tasks (web browsing, video stream, E-Mail) are its fans silent?
With intelligent cool (which is the base mode you should use) they are silent or nearly inaudible during light tasks. Nothing that bothers me and if you are sensitive you can always use battery saver which still provides enough juice to the CPU (15W) to be efficient whilst being even more silent. With fan offs during video stream for example the fans are off, when browsing intensively the fans can start and go up to ~39db (measuring 1.5dm above the keyboard) after they then ramp down again. Would have preferred customizable fan curves to set the levels myself, but Im not bothered by the fans unless you are gaming or editing video
@@WattPerformance Why? Why then buy a notebook with a 120hz screen? Your results will be completely different when running with 120hz! I only get about 4h to 5h battery life with screen on 120hz and 50% to 70% brightness! Your tests are somewhat redundant and missleading this way!

They are OK. I had no issues watching videos or listening to music. But I don't think it compares to the newest M1 macbook. So maybe take your ideal speakers (realistically), and you're getting 80% of your expectations. BTW I own this laptop.
@@oatmealr You have the AMD or Intel version? Seems like I'm only able to "easily" get my hands on the Intel version and wonder how the battery life is... I know the tendency is for the intel machines to be less power efficient...
From my experience with my other laptops (Dell Inspiron, HP Aero, Lenovo Legion) and a Samsung 34” VA-screen, this is by far my favorite in terms of color vibrance and overall general feel. With that said, I am not skilled in this area so unable to make comments to this. Please keep in mind it’s the matte screen. Would suggest checking out the other reviews (albeit sponsored) or waiting for a full screen review 👍
Do you notice the difference of 14.5 inch compared to a standard 14 inch laptop? If you have a 14 incher available I would be really interested in a side-by-side comparison of screen sizes.
Check out 1:16 in to the video where I enter the BIOS to change to UMA Graphics (Unified Memory Architecture which means it is using the shared system memory to only use the integrated graphics). To enter the BIOS, start/restart the computer and continously press F2 and it will open up. Make the change and then press F10 to save and exit
So the BIOS is the easiest way to toggle the 3050 off/on? I was hoping for an option that doesn't require a restart. But it's doable. I just mine with the 6900H, 32gb ram, and the same screen. So far loving the form factor, feel, and size. Thanks for all your videos!
@@roberto6661 Nice I'm glad to hear it! BIOS is the only way to 100% turn it off, however as I said in the video and the benchmark comparison where I left it on auto in one instance and disabled it in BIOS in one, the automatic switching feature does do a good job at limit the RTX3050 to conserve power when its set to battery saver. You can also actively force some apps to always use the integrated graphics (for instance office, browsing and other applications you will use on the go where you dont need the dgpu)
Sounds very bad. Do you have AMD 6000-series? The pro X is slightly different than the ordinary pro. So try the settings I have in the test as that might help you regardless of CPU and laptop make.
@@WattPerformance I do have the 6000 series. I just now recharged my laptop and I implemented the settings you suggested. I'll let you know if it helps.
@@EUROPAMusicOfficialChannel Did you managed to make it work somehow? I just got mine and battery seems terrible even when using the lowest battery mode...

Do you notice the difference of 14.5 inch compared to a standard 14 inch laptop? If you have a 14 incher available I would be really interested in a side-by-side comparison of screen sizes.
Yes there is a difference and I appreciate the extra 0.5”. I’ve made such a comparison in my first unboxing video at the end :)
How do you disable the 3050? I wasn’t able to find the option to do it in Lenovo vantage
Check out 1:16 in to the video where I enter the BIOS to change to UMA Graphics (Unified Memory Architecture which means it is using the shared system memory to only use the integrated graphics).
To enter the BIOS, start/restart the computer and continously press F2 and it will open up. Make the change and then press F10 to save and exit
So the BIOS is the easiest way to toggle the 3050 off/on? I was hoping for an option that doesn't require a restart. But it's doable.
I just mine with the 6900H, 32gb ram, and the same screen. So far loving the form factor, feel, and size. Thanks for all your videos!
@@roberto6661 Nice I'm glad to hear it! BIOS is the only way to 100% turn it off, however as I said in the video and the benchmark comparison where I left it on auto in one instance and disabled it in BIOS in one, the automatic switching feature does do a good job at limit the RTX3050 to conserve power when its set to battery saver. You can also actively force some apps to always use the integrated graphics (for instance office, browsing and other applications you will use on the go where you dont need the dgpu)
Bizarre! My battery on my Slim 7 Pro lasts 2hr 28min. I have to take the cord everywhere I go. False advertising.
Sounds very bad. Do you have AMD 6000-series? The pro X is slightly different than the ordinary pro. So try the settings I have in the test as that might help you regardless of CPU and laptop make.
@@WattPerformance I do have the 6000 series. I just now recharged my laptop and I implemented the settings you suggested. I'll let you know if it helps.
@@EUROPAMusicOfficialChannel Did you managed to make it work somehow? I just got mine and battery seems terrible even when using the lowest battery mode...
Great video, just got mine. Just a question - does your battery estimate on Vantage or through Windows give a really low estimate? I’m in battery saver on both and I haven’t seen it estimate more than 5 hours max.
