It's hard to believe this laptop even exists. Ryzen 7840S, OLED, 32gb ram, 1tb nvme, linux, good keyboard, good trackpad, thin, light, looks awesome, for the equivalent of 1k USD as a student in europe. You can overinsure that bish with additional 3 year premium warranty + accidental damage coverage and still only be at 1.2k USD. Lenovo has actually done the impossible.
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.
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 ;-)
@@MosheKiesberg I have ordered the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, so hence my question. I hope your laptop involved a manufacturing error, because I would be extremely annoyed if I too have this hard fan noise. On forums I hardly encounter the problem with the fan noise.
@@Joker-iq6zd Good luck! If you receive the laptop, maybe you could write here if you also have my problem, if not, I might give this one another chance.
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
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?
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)
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.
@@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.

@@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 :)
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

I've bought Lenovo Slim 7 recently (2022 model with AMD 6800U, and 2.8k OLED display).. it's been excellent except for the screen. There's a fine array of white dots on the screen which is too distracting and making things look fuzzy even on 2.8k display. I read that it's because of digitizer used for touch screen. Does this have a same issue?

Thx for the video. The lack of an HDMI port makes me lean towards the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Gen 8, with 32GB RAM, Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon 680M iGPU and a 90Hz 2.5K IPS display. It has plenty of power and memory, around 10 hrs of battery life, and at ~990 UK pounds I think the price is really good.
@@Jimster481What about battery life ? Don't have a Yoga with 7840u yet in India but HP has just announced one with OLED (upto 120 Hz variable rate) in their Pavillion Plus lineup - do you think Ryzen 7 7840u with a 68W battery will last 8-9 hours on OLED compared to say IPS LCD panel ?
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.
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.

Would be really cool to see this compared to similary priced macbook.
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.
What is upgradibility of Ram
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.
No one's commented on that but the webcam footage on the balcony is freaking amazing! Both video and audio. How did Lenovo pull this off?
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 like your bag, mind sharing it?
Do you see Lenovo offering a Slim 7 Pro (AMD) with some Nvidia GPU in near future?
How does this compare to a macbook air in terms of battery life and cpu performance?
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
Thanks ❤❤
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
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.
@@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.
If there was a 15.6" version I'd be all over it. 14.5" is slightly too small.
there's a 16" version
@@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.
Does it support external gpu?
where does sound come from?
why are they sponsoring when they dont release it in your region
Because his audience hits their target market?
@@phizaal I assumed the majority of their audience is from NA. maybe I'm wrong
@@WoleGqu more than likely! But I guess enough EU viewership to push for the video. But all speculation as you know as much as me
So when is that Throttle House collab? 👀
The details you've shared here are truly astonishing. You're always a source of inspiration for my videos
everything is good except for the size and the lack of USB ports.
this vs the slim 9i pro?
it's a shame you didn't take the back off the laptop , to see how easy, or how hard it is to upgrade the memory, or more importantly the laptop mother board battery, many manufacturers make accsesability as hard has hell, to change the board battery, or work on the upgrade off the component's, with out having to send your laptop to a pc repair shop,

so how do i get one
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

Think I am gonna get this one for my wifey - 7840S/32GB/1TB version, as an upgrade to 3 year older Intel model.
Thermals?
Nice Throttle House in the background
Shoutout to Thomas and James
I've bought Lenovo Slim 7 recently (2022 model with AMD 6800U, and 2.8k OLED display).. it's been excellent except for the screen. There's a fine array of white dots on the screen which is too distracting and making things look fuzzy even on 2.8k display.
I read that it's because of digitizer used for touch screen. Does this have a same issue?

@@LionStricker the exact model shown in this video is a great laptop. It's an all-round beast. If you don't find this, Asus ZenBook 14X is equally impressive.
@@LionStrickerAssuming you haven’t already got one, maybe have a look at the new Slim 7i. Excellent chip, pretty good screen and currently on sale for under 1000$.
isnn't the battery capacity is 99wh?
That AC noice though
Let's trade. It's the middle of August here in Texas and we still have 100+ temps. Lol
4:32 if that pen starts leaking inside that, its game over!
Does it have a touchscreen?
You can buy it with touchscreen or without it.
I only wish it was touchscreen... Not even convertible or pen sensitive... Just touchscreen would be enough...
Lenovo, please bring this to North America!
I love this computer, I use it for EVERYTHING, from 1440p video editing to documents to gaming. This machine truly is quite the performer.
How is the battery life with web/office/video calls?
@@firstspar haha lol, that is one of the only things I don't use this machine for as, when I do need to do them, I'm usually at home. Sorry mate.
@@voiddoctori have heard from a reviewer that the display and sound is not good
Whats your experience with this?
@@ShubhamYadav-et2rz All tiny laptops with a lot of power have the fan running all the time... usually it's not too fast, though.
About this one I hear many people complain about only 3-4 hours on battery with moderate usage. Otoh all reviewers say 10 hours...
Why the hell would they not sell it in NA
Bummer...can't get them in Australia either.
Thx for the video. The lack of an HDMI port makes me lean towards the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Gen 8, with 32GB RAM, Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon 680M iGPU and a 90Hz 2.5K IPS display. It has plenty of power and memory, around 10 hrs of battery life, and at ~990 UK pounds I think the price is really good.
OLED just kills the game though. I have the 5800U version with a 90Hz OLED 2.8K panel and it really beats everything else.
@@Jimster481As long as you don't mind PWM, that is.
@@areluc I haven't had any issues.
@@Jimster481What about battery life ?
Don't have a Yoga with 7840u yet in India but HP has just announced one with OLED (upto 120 Hz variable rate) in their Pavillion Plus lineup - do you think Ryzen 7 7840u with a 68W battery will last 8-9 hours on OLED compared to say IPS LCD panel ?
@@ni007ck4 if you use dark backgrounds and low peak brightness.
It's only 90Hz display : (
Nice looking machine, I hope they sell it in Denmark and to a decent price.
10.700 på lenovos hjemmeside. Fri fragt 😉
Too bad in my country Lenovo only offering 16gb ram variant
This is some quality content
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.
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.
It is actually. In this case AMD reduce the package size versus the other laptop CPUs in this class.
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
whats up eber!
If it's not coming to North America than why bother with this paid review? The UK is a very small market.
Europe: *exists*
It is. I have last year's model, so it will. Just wait.
@@GeorgeFarren Not in much of a profit-motivated way
@@bearzilla2462it’s a new product and he’s being paid to make it? That’s the reason mate. It doesn’t need to be available for NA. The reason for it not being available in NA is another discussion 😋
Me scrolling through to find why you put an asterisk:
👀
I'd literally buy it right now but I'm in the states D:
