Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14" FHD Business Ultrabook

Watch out: multiple people including us have been having trouble with the screen, especially with connecting an external monitor. For at least three examples, see this link:

I'd read reviews before purchasing and understood what I was buying, but the 4500U CPU is even faster than I'd anticipated. The screen is rich and vibrant and has no obvious smearing at 60hz. Freesync is not available out of the box, but the hardware does support it. The keyboard is great to type on. I'm more used to Asus, HP and Apple laptops, but the keyboard here is one of the nicest laptop keyboards I've used. The overall build quality is very study, and it feels much stronger than similar lightweight laptops I've used. Lots of metal and very little flex. It feels slightly heavier than typical for it's size, but I actually prefer this...view more I'd read reviews before purchasing and understood what I was buying, but the 4500U CPU is even faster than I'd anticipated.

It's capable of some basic gaming, and the fans remain very quiet even after hours of use. I have not tried an external monitor.

With the bottom panel removed there are two NVME slots present, and to my surprise the default 512GB SSD supplied was installed in the smaller 2242 form factor slot leaving the larger 2280 form factor slot free for use. I installed a Crucial P1 1TB in that slot for easy upgrade to 1.5TB of high speed storage. Of course Lenovo may change this at any time so your mileage may vary.

A minor complaint is that the laptop is difficult to open with one hand, but given everything else it does right I'm happy to live with that. Very impressed on the whole.

Looking for a laptop that had enough power to use docked as a desktop, yet also have enough portability to use on the go is a big ask, but it's one that the Slim 7 with its efficient Ryzen 5 and incredible specs achieves like no other in its price range. (IMPORTANT NOTE: the one star reviewer addresses a very painful issue with USB C docking that I encountered, if you follow the instructions on the forum they linked you should be all good) Looking for a laptop that had enough power to use docked as a desktop, yet also have enough portability to use on the go is a big ask, but it's one that the Slim 7 with its efficient Ryzen 5 and incredible specs achieves like no other in its price range.

The laptop is fast and feels very sturdy. Can even play some light games with smooth framerate. 2 year warranty is an added bonus. The laptop is fast and feels very sturdy. Can even play some light games with smooth framerate. 2 year warranty is an added bonus.
