Top 5 reasons to BUY or NOT to buy the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (13″)

Lenovo is such a big company nowadays that they have the ability to offer most of their laptops in both AMD and Intel variants. Today we have the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (13″), which has the Tiger Lake U-series chips, which are also part of the Evo platform.

Lenovo wants you to know that specifically, as it advertises that the device is co-engineered with Intel. The Evo platform promises increased stability and responsiveness, which spoiler alert, works surprisingly well in every single device that we have tested with it.

Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (13″).

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (13″): Full Specs / In-depth Review


4 reasons to BUY the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (13″)

1. Design and build quality

The laptop is built like a tank, or in this case, more like a stealth jet. YOu get a very aerodynamic body that is made of aluminum alloy. The laptop is very lightweight, with a weight and height of only 1.21 kg and 14.9 mm. There is also a carbon fiber lid and a magnesium/aluminum allow base option, which makes the laptop even lighter, weighing only 966 grams. We had the all-aluminum device, so we will share our opinion about it only. The body was extremely sturdy, with hardly any flexing to be seen. It also feels really thin, due to the profile on the edges getting narrow and narrower.

The lid opens easily with a single hand, revealing a glossy screen, with super-thin bezels. The top one has a notch, which houses the Webcam and the IR face-recognition sensor.


2. Display quality

The laptop comes with a single display option: a 13.3-inch QHD+ IPS display with comfortable viewing angles, a maximum brightness of 340 nits in the middle of the screen, 325 nits as an average for the entire display area, and a maximum deviation of 7%. Furthermore, we calculated a contrast ratio of 1800:1 and a 96% sRGB color coverage.

The laptop provided great color accuracy, once we applied our Design and Gaming profile, which brought down the dE value to 1.0, which is a standard-matching value. Here are the results of our color accuracy test with both the factory settings (left) and with our Design and Gaming profile applied (right)

Kontorsarbete

Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.

Design och spel

Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.

3. Battery life

The laptop comes with a 50Wh battery, which lasted for 12 hours and 43 minutes of Web browsing, and 8 hours and 56 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with 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.

4. Input devices

Since the laptop is very thin, its keyboard has to comply and make some sacrifices when it comes to the key travel. Expectedly, the keys have a very short key travel, while still offering clicky and quiet feedback, with a tactile feel. The touchpad is also no slouch, as the unit has a glass cover, along with a smooth gliding and accurate tracking experience. While it lacks dedicated buttons, the mechanism that is inside the pad itself has is very clicky, but also has short travel.
