Unboxing Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i with AI Engine+ Gen 9: Best thin and light laptop under Rs 1 lakh ?
Is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i the best thin and light laptop under Rs 1 lakh? Well, after spending more than a month with the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i, I am convinced that it fills a very important gap in the Indian laptop market. I say this because recently Intel unveiled its magnum opus, the Core Ultra series, and from what I know about the new chips, after testing them in two of the most popular laptops in the Indian market, it sports some really good changes. A dedicated AI chip, Low-powered Efficiency cores, improved battery life and Wi-Fi 7 support are just to name a few. These changes are so prominent that they make last year’s Intel 13th-generation chips look outdated in every major aspect.
However, getting your hands on the new Intel Core ultra series CPUs could potentially mean shelling out anywhere between Rs 1.3 to 1.6 lakh. Thankfully, Lenovo saw this and swooped in at the first opportunity with a laptop which I think is great in all but some aspects. This is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i review featuring the brand-new Intel Core 7 Ultra chip. Before we jump into the meat and potatoes, the laptop has a retail price of Rs 1.10 lakh, at the time of writing this article. However, you can bring the price down by Rs 9,000 to Rs 1.02 lakh by choosing Windows 11 Home as your OS instead of Windows 11 Pro.
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H featuring 16 cores and 22 threads and a boost clock speed of 4.8GHz
Graphics: Intel Arc graphics @2.25 GHz with Direct X 12.1 and HDMI 2.1 support
RAM: 32GB LPDDR5X RAM
Storage: 512 GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD
Display: 14-inch FHD+ OLED display
Battery: 54Wh
Weight: 1.3kg
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i has a full metal body and according to their website, the brand is using a 50% recycled aluminium bottom cover. The chassis feels strong with little to no flex and the entire surface is surprisingly fingerprint and smudge-free. I think the Luna Grey colours add to the fingerprint-resistant as well on top of giving the Yoga Slim 7i a very premium and minimalist look. At the bottom, the laptop has two speaker vents and one large circular vent for air dissipation which is further aided by four very prominent rubberised features. You will also find speaker vents on either side of the keyboard, which I firmly believe greatly enhances the media consumption capabilities of the laptop.
One of the main highlights of the laptop is its 14-inch WUXGA OLED display. Now, WUXGA is just a fancy way of saying that the laptop has a 16:10 aspect ratio display instead of the 16:9 standard. In simpler words, the laptop has more height, an extra 120 lines of vertical resolution to be exact. So the resulting resolution isn’t 1920 x 1080 but instead 1920 x 1200. Colloquially, people also refer to this as a 1200p display instead of a 1080p display.
In the Calman display test, the Yoga Slim 7i’s display showcased a peak resolution of 301 nits. However, the actual perceived brightness of the screen looks relatively high. Mainly because an OLED display has per-pixel lighting, better viewing angles and superior colour saturation and contrast.
During the display test, the screen’s sRGB and DCI-P3 colour space coverage came out to be 100% and 99%. Such a screen is great for general and professional usage. It offers all the possible colours while surfing the web or streaming a video and also while photo and video editing.
Like I said earlier in the review, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i fills a very important gap in India’s laptop market. It is relatively affordable than its much pricier competitor and the compromises it asks you to make are something most people can easily live with. The laptop is well-built and has a great keyboard, a decent display and great performance. The Yoga Slim 7i delivers more power and handles the thermal stress that comes with it even better. Needless to say, if you’re ready to spend Rs 1 lakh for a thin and light laptop, then the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i is probably your only (at least at the time of writing) and the best option in the Indian market.
