日本Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″) – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Recent smaller laptops have been getting quite powerful, as even the 14-inch devices can pride themselves on discrete graphics, thanks to NVIDIA offering lower TGP versions of their most popular RTX 30-series lineup. This is how we end up with the thin & light Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″), which packs a 55W RTX 3050.
However, the CPU selection is a bit weird, as Intel has a fantastic family of 28W processors which have shown to be able to perform extremely well even in smaller devices. Instead, Lenovo went to the big leagues and picked up the Core i5-12500H and the Core i7-12700H.
Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″).
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″): Full Specs / In-depth Review
4 reasons to BUY the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″)
1. Design and build quality
The Yoga Slim 7i Pro X comes with a fully aluminum chassis. It comes in as a pretty strong challenger to any MacBook that Apple can offer, as the laptop brings amazing durability. Both the lid and the base are flex-free, while the laptop as a whole weighs only 1.45 kg and has a profile of 15.9 mm. In terms of the design, we see rounded edges and corners, which is definitely an interesting option.
2. Display quality
The display on the front is crazy good, sporting a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 3K resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It gets quite bright, reaching 415 nits, while the contrast ratio is high as well, at 1720:1. You will be able to do a lot of color work on it, including video editing, image editing, and graphic design, thanks to the 94% sRGB coverage and excellent color accuracy with our Design and Gaming profile.
Here are the test results with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right). As you can see, our profile lowers the dE value down to 0.8 which is more than acceptable for any type of professional work.

In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

3. Battery life

4. I/O
The laptop presents a quality port selection, with an HDMI 2.1 port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left, and a Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, an audio jack, and an E-shutter button on the right.
1 reason NOT to buy the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″)
1. Upgradeability
Nowadays, smaller laptops quickly opt into using soldered RAM, and this one is the same. You get up to 32GB of LPDDR5 memory that runs at 6000MHz. In terms of storage, we find a single M.2 slot for Gen 4 SSDs.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows exactly how to get access inside the Yoga Slim 7i Pro X.
