The Yoga Slim 7x has a few different OLED touch displays with either a 1920x1200 (FHD+) or a 2880x1800 (2.8K) resolution. Aside from pixel count, the biggest differences involve brightness and refresh rate. The FHD+ model I have in the review unit tops out at 400 nits (SDR) or 600 nits (HDR); what's advertised is accurate based on my testing with a colorimeter. Unfortunately, the FHD+ version is capped at a 60Hz refresh rate, and there's a fair amount of glare if you're working in a bright space. The 2.8K display hits 120Hz, making it much easier on the eyes, and it also gets significantly bri

The Yoga Slim 7x (Gen 11) makes its debut at $1,099.99 at Lenovo's website. In this model, you get a Snapdragon X2 Plus (X2P-42) chip, 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and a 14-inch OLED touch display with FHD+ resolution. Lenovo also offers a Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E-80) config with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and a non-touch FHD+ touch display for $1,699.99. For $1,899.99, you can max everything out with the X2 Elite (X2E-88) chip, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 2.8K OLED touchscreen. As usual at Lenovo, you can configure your own model with a mix of hardware as required. Here's a look at th

From a design standpoint, the Yoga Slim 7x (Gen 11) is rock-solid. Its aluminum chassis is rigid, it doesn't creak when twisted, and everything lines up perfectly. MIL-STD-810H certification proves its durability. It's extremely thin, made to look more so with its wedged shape. The rounded edges hardly have enough space for a USB-C port, and at its thickest point, it measures just 0.55 inches (with the lid included). Weighing 2.73 pounds, it's easy to carry all day.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E-88) System-on-Chip (SoC) is a marvel. With 18 cores, a turbo boost clock up to 4.7GHz, and 53MB of available cache, it has crushed everything I've thrown its way over the weeks. It comes in just behind the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-94) chip that we tested in the awesome ASUS Zenbook A16, but believe me, just because it's a lesser SKU doesn't mean it's not for you. The X2 Elite (X2E-88) in the Slim 7x (Gen 11) trounces the Apple M5 chip in the MacBook Air in Geekbench, and it also destroys the Intel Core Ultra 7 355 chip that's available in the sibli
