日本Lenovo Yoga Slim 6i (14, Gen 8, 14IAP8) review – thin and light machine with Alder Lake P-series CPU options
The Lenovo Yoga devices are already popular. The manufacturer is offering many laptops in different price categories and in this article we’ll show you the not-so-expensive Lenovo Yoga Slim 6i (14″, Gen 8, 14IAP8). Ah, yes, the name of the series is long and strange but for a reason. This is an Intel-based machine that can be picked with Alder Lake P CPUs. Given the thin profile of the laptop it’ll be very interesting to see how to cooling will handle the 28W chip during our testing.
Keep in mind that there is another series with almost the same specs as the one here. It’s called Lenovo Yoga Slim 6i (14″, Gen 8, 14IRP8) and it comes with Raptor Lake P processors and with slightly faster memory. Apart from that, our device (with the 12th Gen CPUs options) has passed the MIL-STD-810H military test which means that the laptop should have a rigid chassis. The display is also important and you can choose between three variants – there is even an OLED 1200p model and the top dog is a 2.8K IPS panel.
At least for now, this little notebook seems like a powerful 14-incher with 12th Gen Intel processors and good display variants. Of course, the machine has more tricks up in its sleeve but we’ll talk about that in a minute. We are very curious to see what kind of performance this laptop can offer because the processor under the hood isn’t a slouch and the profile height here is on the low side. Alright, it’s time for some testing!

What’s in the box?
Inside the package, you’ll find the laptop itself, the mandatory paperwork, and a 65W USB-C adapter. We have the standard model, depending on your region, you can find the slim version of this adapter in the box.
Great review. There are not that many available for this particular laptop version. Thanks!
Can confirm gpu-z shows 96eu igpu on the 1240p model.
But 80 in Hwinfo, so prob just gpu-z bug.
Hi Lukas,
are you happy with the laptop? how are thermals, fans loudness, battery life? Do hinges feel stable?
Thanks in advance
