I'd like to see for affordable thin and lights with 32GB ram and 2TB ssds, but manufacturers only seem to offer these with massively overpriced CPUs and GPUs. (I think the sweet spot for laptop GPUs are 4050s and 4060s, but again they don't have quite enough vram)

@@lj-qh5kp Ram is soldered these days. The manufacturing cost difference between 16 and 32GB is like $10, but in a soldiered laptop to the end consumer, it's more like $200... if you can get it (they'd rather just sell you a new laptop in 3 years.) And Apple solders in their SSDs.
Hey Eber, I would like to know if there's any chance that you would review the basic Yoga 7 as well, it seem to be one of the best value higher end laptop per spec, plus they've done a lot of thing right. Same OLED option, very slim and light, offer TWO FULL SIZE USB ports, plus even SD card slot (I think.) I also think it's available in North America. There's criminally few review contents on this laptop which is a shame because it sound like it could be a no brainer to most people (especially the AMD variant, there's people who covered the Intel one but I think AMD is simply a requirement for this thin and light form factor)
The AMD variant is not available in the US. Last years's model is extensively reviewed on notebookcheck. The years is modest retouch,nothing changed basically.

If you don’t care about the fold around display. The Slim 7 Pro (AMD) has a similar processor, an rtx 3050, and a 2.5k lcd. It’s a very similar product with upgraded specs I’d recommend it. Also has usb a and hdmi
I sent this back, the fan noise is very high-pitched and never stops, even under the lightest load. Everything else was great (if you don't need USB-A). Now going with the Thinkpad P Range (P16s with the 7840U and 4k OLED). As soon as a P1 with Ryzen comes out, I might upgrade again.
@@Joker-iq6zd No extra GPU, just the 7840S, 32GB Ram, 1GB Harddrive and the Oled display in this weird 3k resolution. Everything is really great, the laptop feels much more expensive than the ~1300€ I paid, the screen is gorgeous (albeit not matte, like the P16s OLED), the keyboard is very good and battery life is great. The touchpad is very good, but its clicking noise feels and sounds cheap, as so often with less than business class laptops... Now I am paying 300€ more and get - a slower CPU with a much lower TDP - A classic Thinkpad look, which I like a lot - a bigger screen with 4k resolution - hopefully a very silent low workload environment - maybe even a better battery life (I specced the big battery) - same weight - slightly bigger footprint - much better service conditions, as I am now a "pro" costumer ;-)

@@LionStricker Hello! hmm...I would recommend looking at Lenovo's LOQ laptop series. They hover a bit above and below your budget depending on the configuration. They come in 15" and 16" variations. They are intended for gaming and are pretty powerful for the price point. The designs are pretty minimalistic albeit a bit chunky. I would recommend watching Jarrod'sTech's review on the LOQ series if you have the time. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with spec requirements for programming, though I assume they would be somewhere in line with video editing? If so, I would also recommend looking at the rest of Lenovo's Yoga and Slim series, as the ones near your budget have a bit less power than the LOQ laptops but are better with features such as screens and build quality, if you value that. I hope this was helpful! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions :)
Have been using it, stay under 85 at full load while gaming. The big + is ngl it draws a consistent 40W and boosts to 50w/60w spl/fpl occasionally if you use a 100w pd charger
@@videoonfireI'm also looking at this laptop, planning to play some Minecraft and edit videos. Is the fan noise actually that bad? I’ve heard some people not liking it

Some also complain about very short battery life even with basic usage, and flickering screen? Including in this very forum if you read enough comments! But all reviewers say 10 hours, and excellent screen, so...
I remember the good ol days where AMD offered APUs with dedicated GPUs, so you could literally run Crossfire on a laptop which uses both iGPU + dGPU. AMD needs to come back into the game
@@keithvlogs1 Wrong, that's Nvidia GPU. I'm talking about AMD APU iGPU + Radeon dGPU linking together so your system reads that you're running dual GPUs.
An APU is just a processing unit with an integrated GPU, you didn't need to oversell it by saying it was made specifically for this laptop (2:39).Furthermore, I wished if there was a comparison with AMD's last gen APUs specifically in the graphical performance since this is the 2nd iteration of RDNA2 iGPUs. Pretty lacklustre review IMO.
if it's not coming to North America, shouldn't that be the first thing you mention? I had to sit through a few minutes of pretty useless intro.. then watch the full video because the laptop itself is interesting.. only to find out right at the very end it is not coming to North America.. this channel probably has half the people watching it from North America, you could have saved people a lot of time by mentioning this important fact at the start.
Wait a minute; you did a review of the yoga slim 7 from Lenovo, and Lenovo is the sponsor of this video? So this is just paid advertising!🤔The first and last video I watch from Hardware Canucks.
Wondering if this model with a 65wh battery and Intel Core ultra 7 155h would be a great choice. I am almost there choosing this. anyone with suggestions?
That’s the new generation. The one shown in the video (Gen 8) is so great in my opinion, I was expecting Lenovo to improve it even more this year but the opposite happened. Lower resolution screen with only 60hz, thicker chassis, worse speakers... other than that, still a great laptop! Maybe take a look at the Yoga Pro 7/Pro 7i. Pro 7 with AMD unfortunately only comes with 16gb of RAM. Pro 7i comes with 32 but isn’t available in many countries
@@PlatinAviation I made the purchase, the latest gen Lenovo Yoga slim 7 and I love the laptop already since it's offering a great battery life but the only problem is the inconsistent GPU and it's drivers. its very much understandable since it's a first gen product. the display resolution and the refresh rate is a negative but i can say it was value for money considering the price i bought it for. definitely a good choice but not for those who aim to play games
I recently used a Macbook Air M2 for a job and it made me fall in love with thin and light laptops. Would you say that this is the best Windows thin and light laptop or would that go to the Zenbook S 13 OLED or something else?
@@keithvlogs1 Nah, the 16" model is basically a refresh of last years model with the XX35-processors and it only comes in grey. I mean with 7840HS/U/S and Teal color.
Glad I skipped to the end first. I would have been pissed if I wasted ten minutes only to find out you can't buy it in the U.S. Maybe open with that next time instead of putting it at the end to try to pad your watch time.
If only it were like $150-$250 cheaper though. Because I have to remove whatever backdoors Lenovo has so generously embedded for us... These new Ryzen APUs are dirt cheap & they're really gouging the shit out of us.
I have this laptop. Everything is great except for the screen. It has colour bleed around edges of text due to the subpixel arrangement. Also it is flickering. Maybe because of low pwm frequency.
I received my Yoga Slim 7 a few days ago and have sent it back. The performance is really excellent, the laptop looks great and the screen, audio and keyboard are really fantastic. But the fans run all the time and have no clear pattern. They often start up even when the laptop is doing nothing. Since I need the laptop mainly for office work, I don't need the enormous power, but a laptop that doesn't bother me even in a quiet office. So I now bought a Thinkbook 13x Gen 4, which is much quieter and covers all my needs. What a shame, because the price of the Slim 7 is really unbeatable.
everything my ass... the build quality only looks good. after half a year my display frame startet to crack and came right off because the glue lost it. After that the mouse button started to crack because of the same reason. Had to send it in 3 times and now everything is getting back but now im stuck out of warranty. never again lenovo
Need a new laptop and been debating between a gaming one or one with integrated graphics. A few of the Lenovo Legion 5's are really tempting. This one looks almost perfect.... so its really disappointing its not for the NA market.
There's a Yoga 7 Pro version which is still "slim and light" Yet has Dedicated GPU the 2022 model has the decent 4gb 3050. and 6800HS. Its good balance
@@keithvlogs1 took a look. Solid option. Lenovo Canada site has it for $1570 ($2100 normally). I keep getting my head turned by things like a deal for a Legion 5 (16" screen / AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX / RTX 4070 / 16GB / 1TB) that's on for $1800 right now. Its overkill and a smaller one makes a lot of sense... and yet...
@@Bigpapa42 ahaha thats pricisely an overkill... and bulky There also legion *slim* But to be honesti dont think theres anything the slim pro can handle. Its not a gaming beast. But productivity wise and size to power ratio is quite nice
Depending on size desire and budget, Framework offers a 16" with a large slot that runs along the rear of the chassis that you can choose to fill with a GPU if you want. You can order just the laptop, then slot in the GPU later. Easy to remove for a replacement or other purposes later

6:07 Sry, but that is not a downside for my use cases! I prefer more USB-C Ports than having a useless card reader dangling around for no reason taking up space for more ports. Allows me to configure my laptop more the way i want than needing to rely on what the vendor thinks i would use and in the long run would make the device pretty useless if you want to use it for other purposes. 9:52 the price is even not that bad, i was expecting something weird like 2k or something like that but that is a good price point. But even as a non-American I don’t get why they don’t bring it to North America.
Tell you what, Yoga has no Win10 drivers at all, W11 only on this one. Tried deploying a build on it at work, nothing. Just loaded Win11, updated and joined to domain, usually use MDT for deployment, no WinPE drivers for this one.
I'm trying to understand the reason behind reviewing a laptop that is not available in North America for (mainly) North American audience. I'm in Canada, what value does this bring to me?
where can i order this laptop with the 32gb ram, intel i7, rtx-4050 configuration and the color? I can't seem to find "trial teal" color version anywhere.
Could you compare it to lenovo ideapad 5 pro 2023 (7840hs model) would like to buy latprop for my sister(Started study for interier design) is it have enought power?
Do they have Slim 7 without the Yoga inscribed at the back of the screen as is it in this one you reviewed? I think i have seen one also Slim 7 without the Yoga written on.
Glad you are reviewing this laptop! I bought it several weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. Coming from an XPS 15 it was really surprising at the quality of it. Beautiful screen!! Only thing I don't like it accidentally turning off the laptop when I'm holding it in my hand.
@@areluc it’s not a thinkpad keyboard but it’s not far off either. I prefer this keyboard to the XPS 15. It’s nice, tactile, and has decent key travel and of course has the rounded keys. Good keyboard overall.
Yeah the power button location is really dumb. It can shutdown the laptop if you put it in your bag with the button facing down. Wish they just put it above the keyboard like most laptops

@@LionStricker I'd suggest the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 (14” AMD). It has a nearly identical design and specs to the laptop featured in this video. The main differences being that it doesn't fold in half, has a GeForce 3050 Mobile GPU, and a wider variety of ports. At the moment, it's discounted in the US at 1000 euros. If you're interested in other options, you should also check out the ASUS Vivobook S15 Oled, Acer swift x, Dell XPS 13, and the HP Envy laptops which are all decent options for your price point. Hopefully, they're all available in Europe so let me know if there are issues there.

Eber, I see you shoot a lot of cars, would love to see content on that!
Love the cinematography in this one, black bars just help it, looks really good!
Can't believe all this is shot on the EOS R
uuugghhhhhhhhhhhh i love my laptop but this is so much better... why lenovo whyyyy
I have this laptop. Everything is great except for the screen. It has colour bleed around edges of text due to the subpixel arrangement. Also it is flickering. Maybe because of low pwm frequency.
How is the heat management? are the fans loud all the time? a powerful processor in such a thin chassis 🤔
@@TheHermit72 The fan noise is low but somewhat high pitched, but if you put it into low power mode the fan will not turn on with normal use.
I Don't Support Dictatorships if I can help it, Do YOU? 🤨
now this laptop mostly does not exist. The link in your description goes to exact SAME laptop but with a AMD Ryzen 5 7640S
Yeah, unfortunately Lenovo isn’t offering it anymore
5:50 WTF they even give you the dongle but dont have USB-Typ A ... LMAO
Exactly!!!! Sponsored by Lenovo! He is Biased, this is a very biased review!!!!
Did you for real talked about a laptop that sponsered the video???? Jesus Christ
Lenovo sometimes has pretty aggressive cooling. Is it also the case that fans turn on from 36° Celsius ?
yes, 33 too !!!!
LENOVO is trying to copy APPLE computers the MacBooks😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♀️
I received my Yoga Slim 7 a few days ago and have sent it back. The performance is really excellent, the laptop looks great and the screen, audio and keyboard are really fantastic. But the fans run all the time and have no clear pattern. They often start up even when the laptop is doing nothing. Since I need the laptop mainly for office work, I don't need the enormous power, but a laptop that doesn't bother me even in a quiet office. So I now bought a Thinkbook 13x Gen 4, which is much quieter and covers all my needs. What a shame, because the price of the Slim 7 is really unbeatable.
wow Lenovo has really doing this year.
I like your bag, mind sharing it?
everything my ass... the build quality only looks good. after half a year my display frame startet to crack and came right off because the glue lost it. After that the mouse button started to crack because of the same reason. Had to send it in 3 times and now everything is getting back but now im stuck out of warranty. never again lenovo
Need a new laptop and been debating between a gaming one or one with integrated graphics. A few of the Lenovo Legion 5's are really tempting. This one looks almost perfect.... so its really disappointing its not for the NA market.
There's a Yoga 7 Pro version which is still "slim and light" Yet has Dedicated GPU the 2022 model has the decent 4gb 3050. and 6800HS.
Its good balance
@@keithvlogs1 took a look. Solid option. Lenovo Canada site has it for $1570 ($2100 normally). I keep getting my head turned by things like a deal for a Legion 5 (16" screen / AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX / RTX 4070 / 16GB / 1TB) that's on for $1800 right now. Its overkill and a smaller one makes a lot of sense... and yet...
@@Bigpapa42 ahaha thats pricisely an overkill... and bulky
There also legion *slim*
But to be honesti dont think theres anything the slim pro can handle. Its not a gaming beast. But productivity wise and size to power ratio is quite nice
Depending on size desire and budget, Framework offers a 16" with a large slot that runs along the rear of the chassis that you can choose to fill with a GPU if you want. You can order just the laptop, then slot in the GPU later. Easy to remove for a replacement or other purposes later
Hello, I am looking for a laptop with a similar design as the one in the video. I will use it for programming in college. My budget is around €1000. Can you recommend something because I see you know a lot about laptops.
Design is not the top priority but price/performance.
6:07 Sry, but that is not a downside for my use cases! I prefer more USB-C Ports than having a useless card reader dangling around for no reason taking up space for more ports. Allows me to configure my laptop more the way i want than needing to rely on what the vendor thinks i would use and in the long run would make the device pretty useless if you want to use it for other purposes.
9:52 the price is even not that bad, i was expecting something weird like 2k or something like that but that is a good price point. But even as a non-American I don’t get why they don’t bring it to North America.
when Lenovo offers a 16" model for this one with two M.2 SSD slots (or else support for 2TB SSD's), I'm totally sold!
Tell you what, Yoga has no Win10 drivers at all, W11 only on this one. Tried deploying a build on it at work, nothing. Just loaded Win11, updated and joined to domain, usually use MDT for deployment, no WinPE drivers for this one.
I'm trying to understand the reason behind reviewing a laptop that is not available in North America for (mainly) North American audience. I'm in Canada, what value does this bring to me?
where can i order this laptop with the 32gb ram, intel i7, rtx-4050 configuration and the color? I can't seem to find "trial teal" color version anywhere.
Please show less of you and more of the product. Thanks.
Why did we have to watch you cook breakfast? Was it filmed with the laptop? Just padding the run time for more money?
Think I am gonna get this one for my wifey - 7840S/32GB/1TB version, as an upgrade to 3 year older Intel model.
Could you compare it to lenovo ideapad 5 pro 2023 (7840hs model) would like to buy latprop for my sister(Started study for interier design) is it have enought power?
in portugal they offer in the store a none oled version with i7 iris xe and only 16 gb ram an costs arounf 1500 euros today
I could not find this laptop in Lenovo Canada website. if I click on the link in your video it takes me to Lenovo UK website.
Nice looking machine, I hope they sell it in Denmark and to a decent price.
10.700 på lenovos hjemmeside. Fri fragt 😉
I wouldn't buy it, but I don't understand why any laptop company that big region locks like this?
I think lenovo has mental problems with all this lenovo yoga pro slim and differences between regions...
Let's trade. It's the middle of August here in Texas and we still have 100+ temps. Lol
dude are u making a review of a laptop or a u being a insta 304 ☕ in this video? 🤦🏻♂️
Me scrolling through to find why you put an asterisk:
👀
Link to the backpack? 👀
I only wish it was touchscreen... Not even convertible or pen sensitive... Just touchscreen would be enough...
i used to have so much problems with lenovo, after all this years, i just can't trust them
FUJIFILM REPRESENT!!!
How tf you put the best feature (aka the display) at the end of the video….shame
Yoo performance is so incomplete. Why not try games to compare with other laptops?
Lol APU and no gaming benchmarks? Hiding the crappy performance perhaps?
Too bad in my country Lenovo only offering 16gb ram variant
OLED is only color accurate until it starts burning in. Then it is very inaccurate.
Can u link your workstation form the video where you put your slim 7 in?
Do they have Slim 7 without the Yoga inscribed at the back of the screen as is it in this one you reviewed? I think i have seen one also Slim 7 without the Yoga written on.
isnn't the battery capacity is 99wh?
Loving my Slim Pro 9i
8 hours of RUclips playback is kinda weak imo
You're trying to make an APU seem impressive when it's literally just AMDs marketing speak for integrated GPUs
So it isn't impressive?
You should see what intel iris xe offers
Would be really cool to see this compared to similary priced macbook.
I can’t turn it on
got the 7slim pro with an 5800h
with a 2tb ssd upgrade its a productivity machine
Is there a thin and light out there similar to this without the glossy touchscreen?
How can people buy 14-inch laptops? No laptop should be released with such a poor screen size.
Many people consider it a perfect sweet spot but thanks for sharing your pearl of wisdom anyway
@@areluc Sweet Spot for Eye Strain and Poor Vision
@@mahalordx Right... so to follow your logic billions of people are getting eye strain and poor vision from using their smartphones?
@@areluc Check the Statistics
Where can I buy this laptop? I can't find anywhere.
i was just googling this model this morning.. thanks for the review
Glad you are reviewing this laptop! I bought it several weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. Coming from an XPS 15 it was really surprising at the quality of it. Beautiful screen!! Only thing I don't like it accidentally turning off the laptop when I'm holding it in my hand.
How's the keyboard? Is it close to the ThinkPad standard?
@@areluc it’s not a thinkpad keyboard but it’s not far off either. I prefer this keyboard to the XPS 15. It’s nice, tactile, and has decent key travel and of course has the rounded keys. Good keyboard overall.
Yeah the power button location is really dumb. It can shutdown the laptop if you put it in your bag with the button facing down. Wish they just put it above the keyboard like most laptops

Design is not the top priority but price/performance.
@@LionStricker I'd suggest the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 (14” AMD). It has a nearly identical design and specs to the laptop featured in this video. The main differences being that it doesn't fold in half, has a GeForce 3050 Mobile GPU, and a wider variety of ports. At the moment, it's discounted in the US at 1000 euros. If you're interested in other options, you should also check out the ASUS Vivobook S15 Oled, Acer swift x, Dell XPS 13, and the HP Envy laptops which are all decent options for your price point. Hopefully, they're all available in Europe so let me know if there are issues there.
where does sound come from?
Anyone know where to get the desktop wallpaper from the thumbnail?
I am so confused with Lenovo's naming their models...
Do you see Lenovo offering a Slim 7 Pro (AMD) with some Nvidia GPU in near future?
4:32 if that pen starts leaking inside that, its game over!
The exact laptop I'm looking for, and it's not coming to North America. Perfect.
