Slim, sleek and streamlined. No. We’re not referring to your physique after months of downward dogs and sun salutations – but rather the silhouette of the new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. Here are all the reasons that the new laptop by the world’s first foldable PC manufacturer will leave you feeling zen.

A design to swoon over

At just 12.9 mm thin, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is practically a featherweight in the world of laptops. Its Cosmic Blue finish looks fabulous. But, lest you think this laptop is all about aesthetics, rest assured it is equally well designed for interaction. The generously sized keyboard keys provide a comfortable 1.5 mm of key travel, reminiscent of Lenovo’s top-tier commercial keyboards. With a 135mm trackpad that offers ample space for effortless scrolling and gestures, the Yoga Slim 7x ensures that every interaction is smooth and intuitive.

In addition, the Comfort Edge design, with its rounded edges, makes the Yoga Slim 7x not only easy to carry but also pleasing to hold. It’s like Lenovo took all the best aspects of comfort and compactness and rolled them into one stunning package.

Tough yet chic

Don’t let its sleek exterior fool you. The Yoga Slim 7x is built to withstand more than just the rigours of daily life. Tested against MIL-STD 810H military-grade standards, this laptop is rugged enough to handle the occasional bump and jostle. It’s not just about the looks; this device is as tough as it is stylish.

Equally impressive is the Yoga Slim 7x’s 14.5” 3K OLED touch display. With a resolution of 2944 x 1840 and a 16:10 aspect ratio, you get an expansive view that’s perfect for both productivity and less-purpose-drive pas-times. The 90Hz refresh rate ensures that scrolling and navigation are buttery smooth. Dolby Vision takes the viewing experience to another level, delivering vibrant colours and stunning clarity that make everything from movies to spreadsheets look incredible. Plus, with TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, your eyes will stay relaxed even during marathon viewing sessions.

Power meets precision

Under the hood, the Yoga Slim 7x is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. This is a powerhouse capable of handling demanding tasks like video editing and data analysis with ease. The custom Qualcomm Oryon CPU and its 12 performance cores, coupled with the AI-Accelerated Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, deliver impressive power efficiency and performance. With a capability of 45 TOPS (trillions of operations per second), this laptop is ready to tackle any challenge you throw its way.

Sound and sight for sore eyes

Serious about sound quality? The Yoga Slim 7x is equipped with four 2W speakers that, along with Dolby Atmos, deliver a dynamic audio experience. Whether you’re on a video call or enjoying your favourite tunes, the clear audio and immersive soundstage will elevate your experience. And let’s not forget the quad microphones with smart noise cancelling – say goodbye to background chatter and hello to crystal-clear calls.

Quick power and seamless security

The Yoga Slim 7x’s 70Wh battery is a marathoner’s dream. Thanks to Rapid Charge Express technology, a quick 15-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of runtime. Perfect for those on the go! And with features like an FHD camera with IR and a privacy shutter, you can enjoy both convenience and security. The IR sensor enables Zero Touch features, including effortless logins and battery-saving functions when you step away. Need privacy? Just flip the physical switch on the side for instant peace of mind.

AI at your fingertips

Finally, the Yoga Slim 7x introduces the new Microsoft Copilot+ key, a gateway to a world of AI possibilities. This key brings together the GPU, CPU, NPU, and cloud to streamline your AI experience. From recalling daily activities with Recall to creating art with Cocreator, the Copilot+ key opens up a realm of new capabilities that will enhance your productivity and creativity.

Retail prices for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x start at $2,499. It is available from Lenovo’s website and major Australian retailers like JB HiFi and Officeworks.
