Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition review: A capable ultralight laptop that's way too expensive
There's a lot to like about the Yoga Slim 7i, but the current price is a bit too steep.
Lenovo's latest offering, the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition, is an impressively lightweight laptop that boasts an impressive OLED display, a sleek design, and solid performance. Priced at over $2,000, the notebook's weight of 2.15 pounds and its Intel-powered Core Ultra 7 355 processor set it apart from competitors like the ASUS ZenBook A14.
The case feels sturdy and comfortable, and the keyboard delivers a pleasant typing experience. The screen is top-notch with 2.8K resolution and excellent color reproduction, while the touchpad is responsive and user-friendly. However, the absence of valuable ports, such as USB Type A and HDMI, and the lack of a headphone jack are notable downsides.
Despite this, the Yoga Slim 7i's battery life is impressive, lasting up to 17 hours and 30 minutes in test conditions. It is a strong contender in the ultra-portable laptop market, offering great value for those seeking a balance of portability, performance, and screen quality.
