Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro X (14″, 2022) review – compact and surprisingly powerful

Design and construction

With its fully aluminum build and design with round edges for the lid and the base, the laptop looks and feels premium.

The dimensions are good – the profile is 15.9mm and the notebook weighs 1.45 kg. Keep in mind that there is some great hardware under the bonnet as well so we’re impressed how compact the laptop is considering its power.

You can open the lid with a single hand and the display isn’t bouncing like a “salt shaker” when you’re opening it. This is possible due to the well-tuned hinges – they are smooth and not too stiff.

The lid also can be opened up to 180° and we like the thin bezels around the display. There is some kind of magic here – the top bezel is still thin no matter the fact that it houses a 1080p Web camera and an IR sensor. The dedicated privacy shutter has been sacrificed in exchange for a more modern look but don’t worry, the function is still available. There is an e-shutter that can be turned on or off via a toggle switch placed on the right side of the laptop.

Let’s have a look at the base – there, you can spot two front-firing speakers placed on both sides of the backlit keyboard. The latter is a great unit for typing because of the decent travel and the clicky feedback. The “Up” and “Down” Arrow keys aren’t big but that’s something normal for this kind of form factor. The flex around the keyboard area is almost non-existent even when you type fast and harshly.

The touchpad is big enough for comfortable work and it’s smooth and precise thanks to its glass surface.

The bottom panel is business as usual – three rubber feet and a ventilation grill. The hot air has been exhausted through two vents positioned on the back of the base.

Ports

The port selection is definitely up to date. On the left, you will find a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port and two 10Gbps USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) ports with DisplayPort 1.4a and power delivery capabilities. On the right are placed the power button, a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, an audio jack, and the e-shutter switch for the Web camera.
