During immediately’s Lenovo Tech World 2021 occasion, the OEM has introduced a number of merchandise, together with two AMD-powered skinny & mild laptops: the IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro and IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon. From what I can inform, Lenovo is the primary PC OEM to launch Windows 11 laptops, however in fact, the entire trade will do it.

We obtained our fingers on the IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon ($1,289.99+, above photograph), and we just like the design so much. It is an ultralight (2.42 Lbs) pc that’s solely 14.9mm thick. There’s sufficient room for just a few USB-C ports, and as traditional, the sound system is powered by Dolby.

Inside, the CPU choices go “up to” the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, which options an built-in AMD Radeon graphics processor. A greater choice is the discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU for individuals who can afford it. And regardless of the light-weight, the battery capability is reasonably giant, at 61 Wh.

With as much as 16GB of RAM and a most SSD storage capability of 1TB, this laptop computer is highly effective sufficient to comfortably cater to the use circumstances of the overwhelming majority of shoppers.

Finally, the 90Hz QHD+ (2880×1800) OLED contact show has fascinating specs, with a 100% DCI-P3 coloration protection, 400 NITs of brightness, and Dolby Vision HDR assist. We’ve reviewed a number of OLED laptops prior to now, and the shows by no means didn’t impress.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro

The IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro ($1,449+) is constructed for Creative customers due to its 16-inch IPS LCD show and the NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics processor. If it is advisable to run on a contemporary NVIDIA GPU, you need an RTX chip.

Handling it, it feels very very like a 17-inch laptop computer, together with the 4.6 Lbs weight and 14.9mm thickness. Within that chassis, customers get a hefty 75 Wh battery that helps speedy charging.

The show won’t be as fancy because the Slim 7 Carbon’s, however it’s ideally fitted to Creative work with 100% sRGB coloration protection, 500 NITs of brightness, and an non-obligatory 120 Hz refresh fee if you need one thing ultra-smooth.

The quickest CPU choice for this one is the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H which will be paired with 16GB of RAM (I’d have most popular 32GB) and 1TB of SSD storage. There’s one USB-A and two USB-C ports along with the full-size HDMI and SD Card ports.

Overall, these new IdeaPad Slim 7 laptops provide an thrilling choice for customers who need excessive multi-threading capabilities and glorious show choices. The lack of Thunderbolt 4 (TB4) connectivity is the one factor lacking since TB4 is an Intel know-how, however most individuals don’t arrange a TB4 dock, so it’s most likely okay.
