The Slim 7i offers a 14-inch OLED touchscreen display with a WUXGA resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It also features a good port spec and a battery life of around eight hours. Despite its strengths, the laptop's below-average CPU performance is a significant drawback. The reviewer concludes that the Slim 7i is not worth the $1000 price unless it is significantly reduced, making it a suitable option for basic everyday tasks.
Key takeaways:
- The Lenovo Slim 7i offers a durable build, a slim profile, a good display, and a surprisingly good GPU performance. However, it falls short in terms of CPU performance and its trackpad feels flimsy.
- The laptop is not exactly lightweight, weighing 3.06 lbs, and its keyboard has hard, tight keys that may take some time to get used to.
- Despite the Core Ultra 7 processor being touted as a competitive chip, the laptop's CPU performance is underwhelming, especially considering its $1000 price tag.
- The laptop's battery life is average, lasting around eight hours on a full charge, but it recharges quickly, going from dead to 33% charged in just 20 minutes.
