Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro combines AMD Ryzen 9 4900H with 14 inch 16:10 screen

Lenovo's Yoga brand has been shifted from being used only for convertible laptops to Lenovo's general premium laptop consumer brand, similar to how Dell uses the XPS brand for their high-end consumer laptops.

It is probably no coincidence that Dell shifted the XPS line to 16:10 screens and that Lenovo is now doing the same with the Yoga line. Case in point: The new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro.

Unlike older Yoga machines, this Lenovo laptop has a 14 inch screen in the 16:10 aspect ratio. The taller aspect ratio results in smaller screen bezels below and above the display. There are going to be two screen options: A 300 cd/m² panel with a resolution of 2,240 x 1,400 (which Lenovo calls 2.2k) and a 400 cd/m² panel with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 (2.8k). 

This is not the only interesting aspect about the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro: It is powered by AMD Ryzen processors. To be more specific: The more powerful H class (45 W), with the AMD Ryzen 9 4900H as the fastest available choice. The processor is backed up by up to 16 GB LPDDR4X memory and a 61 Wh battery.

These components are in a 1.45 kg heavy aluminum chassis, which is available in silver or grey and with a glass-cover in front of the screen or without. It features a reverse notch above the screen, 2 W stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos as well as two USB C 3.2 Gen 2 and a single USB A port.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro will be available in the EMEA region in August of 2020, for a starting price of €799. This may not be true for all countries however, as the German press release says that it will not be available until 2021.
