Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Review: Premium but Overpriced

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition is an incredibly light 2.15-pound laptop with a gorgeous OLED display and excellent keyboard, earning an 8/10 rating. Despite its premium build quality and strong performance powered by Intel's Core Ultra 7 355 chip, the $2,000+ price tag makes it difficult to recommend. The magnesium alloy case feels premium and sturdy, while the 14-inch OLED screen delivers stunning 2.8K resolution with excellent color accuracy.

Performance is solid for productivity tasks, scoring 8,845 points in PCMark 10 benchmarks, though the integrated graphics are limited to basic gaming. Battery life is exceptional at 17.5 hours in tests. The laptop lacks essential ports including USB-A, HDMI, and even a headphone jack, prioritizing Apple-esque aesthetics over functionality.

While Lenovo has clearly improved its premium laptop game, the current pricing puts this capable ultralight out of reach for most buyers who need a fashionable, portable notebook.
