Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (14″, 2022) – Top 5 Pros and Cons

Lenovo offers so many notebook brands, each with its separate iterations and sub-brands. Today we have the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro. Despite carrying the Yoga name, it’s a standard clamshell device, oriented towards professionals and creators. Even the Ryzen 6000H-series CPUs that it carries is called “Creator edition”.

It’s not a very affordable product, however, with the lack of discrete graphics, it’s still less expensive than models with one, while still packing a decent amount of GPU power, thanks to the RDNA 2 integrated graphics, which offer native ray tracing and a good increase in GPU performance when compared to the previous Vega units.

Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (14″, 2022).

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (14″, 2022): Full Specs / In-depth Review


4 reasons to BUY the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (14″, 2022)

1. Design and build quality

The laptop has a fully aluminum chassis, which has incredible durability. The lid opens easily with one hand while remaining rigid and flex-free. The base is quite tough as well, considering the thin profile. Speaking of thickness, the laptop stays true to its Slim name, measuring just 14.9 mm, while weighing only 1.39 kg. The design is minimalist, with sharp edges and rounded corners. Branding is kept on the low as well, with only a small Lenovo logo on the bottom corner.


2. Battery life

With a 61Wh battery pack, the laptop offers 18 hours of Web browsing, or 12 hours and 35 minutes of video playback. This is with the 45W H-series processors, which is amazing evidence of AMD’s efficiency.  Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.


3. Display quality

The Pro part of the notebook includes a fantastic 2.2K IPS panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It reaches 328 nits of brightness and has a pretty high contrast ratio of 1570:1. It covers 96% of the sRGB gamut while offering fantastic accuracy when our Design and Gaming profile is applied.

Here are the test results with the stock settings (left) and with our profiled applied (right). With a dE value of 1.3, you’d be able to handle professional color work with no problem.

4. Cooling

The cooling setup inside uses two long heat pipes and two fans. All in all, it looks like a mini gaming laptop’s cooling, and it clearly shows what it’s capable of in the stress tests.

1 reason NOT to buy the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (14″, 2022)

1. Upgradeability

While the laptop is fantastic, it suffers from poor upgradeability, but you should get used to that with smaller devices. You can get up to 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, but we want to see more, so it’s up to Lenovo to figure it out and offer higher memory configurations. In terms of storage, there’s one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for Gen 4 drives.
