Deal | 2023 Lenovo Slim 7i with Core i5-1340p CPU, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD now enjoys massive 34% discount at Walmart

Last month we reported that the 2023 Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 8 laptop was going for US$1,060.99, a discount of US$119 on the retail price. The laptop is back on sale with an even bigger price cut in tow. You can now get the Lenovo Slim 7i from Walmart for only US$774.99 which is a considerable 34% less than the US$1,179.99 list price (via slickdeals).

According to Honey's price history tool, the Lenovo Slim 7i's US$774.99 price is the lowest the laptop has dropped in 120 days.

Moving on to the hardware specifications, the Gen 8 Lenovo Slim 7i on offer is rocking a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-1340p, 16 GB of LPDDR5-5200 memory, 1 TB of PCIe storage, and a 14-inch 1800p IPS display that covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut. Furthermore, the panel boasts a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits of peak brightness, and a silky smooth 120 Hz refresh rate.

When it comes to performance, the 12-core Core i5-1340p is a very capable chip that matched the Core i7-1360p in the Cinbench R23 Multi-Core benchmark in our testing. Similarly, the processor’s single-core performance is also impressive, as it is practically identical to the Core i7-12850HX which has a base power limit of 55 W, double that of the Core i5-1340p.

So, if you need a small laptop with plenty of performance for less than US$800, the Lenovo Slim 7i for US$774.99 appears to be an excellent deal.

Moreover, if you want to save even more and don’t mind a refurbished unit, Best Buy has the last-gen Slim 7i with the Core i7-1260p, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage for US$607.99. The Core i7-1260p has the same single-core performance as the Core i5-1340p but it is 13% behind in multi-core workloads in the Cinebench R23 Single-Core and Multi-Core benchmarks respectively. So, you won’t be losing much performance if you decide to save some money and go with the last-gen Lenovo Slim 7i from Best Buy.
