Hi everyone, thanks for watching! If you are interested in purchasing this laptop you can find the product links in the video description alongside other helpful information.
I ended up buying this laptop with the I7 and 32 GB RAM. As a programmer and part time student, this does everything I need. Sound is definitely lacking, but I usually wear headphones and use an external DAC/AMP, so it's not a deal breaker for me.
Got the Yoga Slim 7 with the Ultra 7 155H, 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD config from an authorised vendor on sale today at $930 USD (converted pricing), was an absolute steal. Can't wait to use it!
Last year, this channel was responsible for nudging me into purchasing my first Lenovo laptop, and i haven't regretted it...yet 😉 The way you draw your smiley faces is always funny 😂
Hello there i hope you are good and doing well. I relied on your review on the lenovo 2 in 1 laptop and i bought it blind folded and honestly the laptop changed my life and thanks to you i had the best bargain the touch pad the tactility everything really. Thank you mate you're a ⭐
This is an Excellent Laptop! I got a brand-new Lenovo Laptop model exactly like this one., Super Premium quality and high core performance I7. Worth every penny invested for my next 7 years of usage. Thank you to a great friend of Mine- Daniel!
I have 2K and FHD laptops. At 14”, doesnt have much different. Laptop manufacturer often have batman traps, like 2k in 14”, rtx4050 with 2K 16”, soldered LPDDR, etc.
thanks for the video, just pulled the trigger on this one, very excited. as long as lenovo doesnt hit me again with that dreaded blue screen of death agian
I've been looking for a new laptop for over a week now, doing research everyday. I found a ton of different solid laptops, but they all had drawbacks that didn't really fit in with how I planned on using my new laptop. I found this laptop for sale today for $850, and after watching this review as well as a variety of reviews, I'm completely sold. The CPU (I'm getting the core ultra 7), the high RAM and storage, and INCREDIBLE build quality are all things I would not have expected from a laptop around the $800 price point! This is an amazing laptop for my use case, and this is an even more incredible review. Thank you so much for this, much appreciated!
Excellent review Shahpar! My son is headed to college later this year. I've been debating between the Lenovo Slim 7i and a Macbook Air. It would be great to see a little more in-depth info on the gaming performance. It's great to hear that battery life is 10 hours.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the feedback about the gaming portion, Ill see if we can do anything to make it a little more detailed. With that said while neither laptop is meant for gaming the Slim 7i being a windows PC will have far more compatibility with games. On the other hand the MBA will out perform in the battery life department by a long shot.
@@CeejayFilmsFanspinePictures its been awesome. If the display was 90hz then it would have been the perfect laptop. It's still nice though and having the lower display actually helps save the battery longer.
@@SoulOfTech I see. Damn I heard good things about the sound quality I hope it’s not too bad. I’ll let you know how I feel about them when I get the laptop.
I wonder If lenovo is using different speakers depending on configuration. Sound on mine which has the 155h and 32gb ram sound great. I do hear sound from the top grills but It may just be echoing from the bottom. I'm getting about 8hours battery on mine.
bought 1 at a sale. ultra 155h 32gb 1tb ssd. replace my 10 year old core i5 3570. i would skip the 16gb ram and go for more rams since igpu will need more
Thank you! It depends, I genuinely think think the Slim 7i is far more versatile machine however the MBA still comes on top in terms of battery and speaker quality.
Can someone explain what a microSD card reader would be used for these days? I would understand an SD card reader, if you're a photographer, but what devices use microSD cards that you would then be frequently connecting it to your computer? Are people taking the card out of their Android phones and plugging it in on a regular basis?
Want to purchase this but the power button though... I saw one repairguy post about how a lot of the problems with the yoga series is how the power button can get stuck and sometimes lodge some parts into the motherboard. Wonder if I should still get this
Thank you! They are not mine In full transparency and I should make a better effort to credit the site/users who host these wallpapers. With that said I usually just google "Abstract 4K wallpaper" and skimmer through until I find one that looks appealing for a thumbnail. Hope that helps a little!
Hows good intel arch iGpu compared to ordinary iris XE? Is it powerful enough to handle casual soccer games like pes/efootball/fifa? I dont play much games especially AAA games, only pes/fifa in some free time for refreshments, & im curious if it is powerfull enough to handle it in 1080p, bcs i consider to buy one for my self
I'm strongly considering this model for photo editing. Do you have any experience with this machine handling Lightroom classic and Photoshop? I am not a professional level photo editor and the 16 GB / 512 SSD should be fine but I can get the 32 GB / 1 TB SSD from Costco for $350 more. I can probably manage dumping images onto a portable hard drive now and then to save cost. I thought I saw on some older reviews that this was a two-in-1 tablet. Not a deal breaker but the thought of a 2-in-one with a stylus pen could be handy now and then. Do you have any thoughts about this machine handling photo editing without much issue and would it be better to spend the extra money for the 32 GB / 1 TB performance?
BIOS optimizations are not out of the questions provided there is an issue with hardware calibration. Though if the system is mostly tuned correctly already a BIOS update may not do much beyond additionally stability.
Sick of companies not putting any effort in to the speakers..WHY NOT?! 😠 so frustrating that they just totally neglect them. No mainstream laptop out there seems to want to compete with the sound that MacBook pro's put out, really annoying.
@@SoulOfTech also is this model the same as internationally called yoga 7 pro (2024)? I know in previous years in US they called it "slim pro" but this time I see no difference in chassis between your reviewed model (without a "pro") and what I see on-line branded as "yoga pro 7 2024". same chassis, keyboard, 4 speakers, etc. thanks for clarification.
You should check the 2023 model, yoga slim 7 14 gen8 with an Amd ryzen. Thats hundred times better than this i can't believe they downgraded so much man. Ok so the 2023 slim 7 had •much better display: 3k 90hz 14.5 inch with much thinner bezels •custom amd apu for the device with performance competing with HS ryzen series and and integrated gpu with performance equal to the new intel arc. Much better speakers: a 6speaker setup with two on the top amd two at the bottom with two on the sides giving amazing sounds as good ass an zephyrus g14 2024. Battery: with a 70whr battery and the 3k res it still delivered 10hrs of use in general productivity Weight and thinness: it was just 1.35kg being 0.5 inch bigger in screen and size. Was thinner too, compromised on the io by having 3 usb c and headphone jack but it was worth the thinness imo. I already mentioned that the bezels were thinner. Its simply the same model but previous gen with amd, their naming convention depends on country to country for example this same device you reviewed in the video is called yoga slim 7i in India. Where the name 'i' simply denotes intel variant of the laptop This is the biggest glow down in laptop history iv ever witnessed 😪 😂😢 They could have atleast given a wqxga(2.5k) res option to upgrade with 90hz and four speakers with the platonic show on top being actual 2 speakers the way the pro 7 has. It would still make some sense, but this is horse shit in the name of a premium laptop, this should have been the slim 6i ffs. czcams.com/video/HDXTbTs-LIw/video.html Check this review out by Matthew Moniz. You'll understand why I'm so pissed and im ranting so much. I just hope the next year's slim 7 is like this one in the video link.
Dude, you need to start using standard battery test like PC Mark 10. Also, no one care about video editing on laptops. The average person uses their phone and professionals use a desktop...
I own a Lenovo Slim 7, after 1 year the display bezel just cracks and I own the Arc version and is the worst. Many problems using Photoshop, I just can use old GPU drivers or blue screen comes. This is the worst equipment I ever use. Bye Lenovo and your client support also the worst.
Don't buy Legion Slim 7i. It supports only windows 11. Bl0S is very bad, lot of options are missing. Machine gives lot of heat. Touchpad Settings disappears. I bought one and regret for that. Please don't go for this.
Most people use 15.6-16 inch laptops why reviewing a 14 inch? If this is a powerful laptop, it is probably using by professionals who use it for work. waste of your time and resource.
Almost all modern mid and high range laptops are now exclusively being produced as 14” and 16” you can verify this by going to any big manufacturers website 😅 Only budget laptops use the 15” form factor now.
Ridiculous statement. Most students and road warriors prefer the portability, smaller footprint and lighter weight of the 14, not to mention the typically lower price. 15.6 is dead.
mine is about to get delivered this week, im concerned about the oled 1080p only screen though on a 14 inch size laptop. is it really that pixelated and unuseable sometimes? i also heard 1080p oled is more pixelated than 1080p lcd. would i regret it in future? i hope not though 🥲

Any idea about battery life compared to mac on dev stuff
@@विचित्रलड़का I can get about 7 hours of battery working with Anaconda/Pycharm and Visual Studio Code.
How is hinge and heating issue
@@hadeskerbecs250 The hinge feel sturdy but unobtrusive. It's one of the coolest laptops I've used. That probably due to the efficiency cores.
@@Simon-vo7gi thanks, still confused about IdeaPad pro 5, zenbook 14 and this, any suggestions?

How is it working for you so far? Have you used Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop?
How's the battery life
Last year, this channel was responsible for nudging me into purchasing my first Lenovo laptop, and i haven't regretted it...yet 😉
The way you draw your smiley faces is always funny 😂
Great to hear!
Haha yes my art is questionable haha
how long does it take to boot up a year later
Which laptop?
Here for the One-Piece episodes on new laptops. Take my like good sir!

Your a great tech youtuber don’t stop cause ypu did very well.
Thank you!
Great review, I've decided to get this laptop with the same specifications but without touch screen.. cheers
Good choice!

Just stumbled upon your account, crisp reviews! Subbed. :)
Glad to have you on board :)
Same!
As of Labor Day weekend 2024 this laptop is like $700 on B&H

Great review! I have the exact same configuration except mine is non touch and only 512gb. Its going to get delivered this week, I can't wait!!
Hope you enjoy it!
How has it been so far
@@CeejayFilmsFanspinePictures its been awesome. If the display was 90hz then it would have been the perfect laptop. It's still nice though and having the lower display actually helps save the battery longer.
Thank you for the review 😎😎
Any time!
B&H has the i7-1360P model with 16GB RAM/512GB SSD on sale for $699 (normally $1300). I bought two for live graphics/streaming.
that's the previous model
@@LukiNes69 I never said it was the newest model - I just said it's a model.
Interesting, I've heard multiple reviewers say those were actually speakers. On the Lenovo website it says quad speakers.
The laptop does sprout quad speakers, they they are not located beneath the grills.
@@SoulOfTech I see. Damn I heard good things about the sound quality I hope it’s not too bad. I’ll let you know how I feel about them when I get the laptop.
I wonder If lenovo is using different speakers depending on configuration. Sound on mine which has the 155h and 32gb ram sound great. I do hear sound from the top grills but It may just be echoing from the bottom. I'm getting about 8hours battery on mine.
What about battery life for full day web browsing and some 4k video editing.Does it last long in a single charge?
What's that wallpaper your using? Looks very nice!
bought 1 at a sale. ultra 155h 32gb 1tb ssd. replace my 10 year old core i5 3570. i would skip the 16gb ram and go for more rams since igpu will need more
I wish i could buy that one day
One day!
Is this laptop good for photo and video editing?
Great video! How do you think this stacks up against the MacBook airs?
Thank you! It depends, I genuinely think think the Slim 7i is far more versatile machine however the MBA still comes on top in terms of battery and speaker quality.

Is it better than the previous AMD version? Performance in light editing, battery...
Love the wallpaper! Where do you get your wallpapers from?
Thank you! They are not mine In full transparency and I should make a better effort to credit the site/users who host these wallpapers. With that said I usually just google "Abstract 4K wallpaper" and skimmer through until I find one that looks appealing for a thumbnail. Hope that helps a little!

lovely review, any chance for the Thinkpad series?
Thank you! Hopefully in the summer, spring is packed with the upcoming consumer class laptops
for such a slim laptop the 12 Hz refresh rate would drain the battery really quickly!!

does lenovo optimize BIOS well? Besides all mistakes of DELL they tend to do it correctly.
BIOS optimizations are not out of the questions provided there is an issue with hardware calibration. Though if the system is mostly tuned correctly already a BIOS update may not do much beyond additionally stability.
@@SoulOfTech sure but do you consider lenovo as good brand in this field? Or would recommend any other?
What’s the difference between this one and the 82SX0002US?
i have it. thats the 12th gen with old design. battery is very pathetic. get the Core ultra if you can
is the battery life of 10 hours your experience or Lenovo's claim? I think thats the only thing stopping me from buying this.
How ist the noise Level? Ty
Sick of companies not putting any effort in to the speakers..WHY NOT?! 😠 so frustrating that they just totally neglect them. No mainstream laptop out there seems to want to compete with the sound that MacBook pro's put out, really annoying.
Speaker was a let down for sure!
for audio speaker test, did you explicitly enable dolby atmos through the app and it still did not help?
Hi, yes Dolby atmos was enabled. The issue is with the quality of the hardware it self.
@@SoulOfTech also is this model the same as internationally called yoga 7 pro (2024)?

Check this review out by Matthew Moniz.
You'll understand why I'm so pissed and im ranting so much.
I just hope the next year's slim 7 is like this one in the video link.
calm down that model is certain region only and is 1400usd. So, yeah not even the same class.. I'm more pissed that I can't find that model anywhere!
Yea I agree... I’d get the Gen 8 tho I’ve read many reviews about very high fan noise so yeah
does this model has facial recognition sign in to windows?
Yes
2880x1800 resolution is the minimum nowerdays. 1920x1200 is dead on arrival.
If you use it normally you cant really tell the difference, 60hz is the problem
Will a 16’ look the same? Or more ports?
Its hard to say though it will likely run a little cooler
60Hz refresh rate is out of date in 2024
Dude, you need to start using standard battery test like PC Mark 10.
