Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7-14ARE05, Ryzen 7 4800U

76% Lenovo Ideapad Slim 7 (Yoga Slim 7) Review – Portable Ryzen Powerhouse
Source: Tech Quila English
Lenovo's Ideapad (Yoga) Slim 7 is a good Windows laptop, and it gets more things right than it doesn't. It packs a powerful, almost desktop-class processor, and a decent build quality and a less-than-stellar display. More than anything, it's proof that going forward, we might see laptops without any compromises in the power department to go against budget PCs.

100% Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 review: An absolute corker at this price
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Lenovo once again gives us a masterclass on how to make a world-class laptop for under a grand. There's very little reason to spend any more unless you need an ultra-high-resolution screen.

85% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 review: A showcase for what AMD Ryzen 4000 can do

This is an awesome laptop. Aside from the excellent Ryzen performance, it also has lovely Dolby Atmos speakers, and more importantly, an excellent keyboard that adds to the pleasure of using the IdeaPad Slim 7. If you want to check it out on Lenovo.com, you can find it here.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 (AMD Ryzen 7) review
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
Lenovo and AMD, where do you get off making a laptop this awesome and not making it available everywhere? Are my fellow U.S. laptop lovers and I going to really have to import this from Europe? I’m jealous! For $1,197, I could get a fairly lightweight, thin powerhouse that puts the competition to shame with its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and GPU. Also, I could move from room to room of my house without worrying about charging thanks to a whopping 17 hours and 21 minutes of battery life. Or at least I could if this laptop was available in the U.S. Why do you folks hate joy?

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 14" Review (AMD Ryzen)
Source: Mobile Tech Review English Archive.org version
Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7, a 14” Ultrabook with a premium design and a relatively nice price of $899. In some countries, it’s is called the Yoga Slim 7. We look at the AMD Ryzen 7 model with 8 cores and phenomenal performance for 14.9mm Ultrabook. Lenovo currently lists the laptop with the Ryzen 7 4700U, Radeon graphics, 8GB DDR4 4266MHz RAM and a 512GB SSD on their site, but we have a slightly higher end version with the Ryzen 7 4800U and 16GB RAM. The laptop has a pleasing full HD display, aluminum casing, Windows Hello IR camera with presence detection, a white backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 6 and a 720p webcam. Lenovo also offers an Intel version that starts at $1,050.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 performance preview: The high-end Ryzen laptop we've been waiting for
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
When Intel unwraps its 11th-gen “Tiger Lake” CPUs next week, we’ll witness an epic battle for the soul of thin and light laptops unlike any we have ever seen before. Our earlier prediction that Tiger Lake will lose against Ryzen 4000 in multi-threaded tasks stays the same. Well, kind of. After seeing the Ryzen 7 4800U’s results, we actually think it’ll be a total blowout in multi-threaded performance now. Graphics, however, might just be closer than we expected. And one area Tiger Lake is likely to win big is single-threaded performance, which is actually probably more important for most of what it is done in a small laptop.

AMD Vega 8: Integrated graphics card of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 8 CUs (= 512 shaders) and a clock of up to 2.100 MHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


R7 4800U: Mobile Octa-Core APU using Zen 2 cores clocked at 1.8 to 4.2 GHz and a Vega graphics card with 8 CUs clocked at up to 1750 MHz. Compared to the faster 4800H, the 4800U has a lower TDP and base clock, but the graphics card is faster.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


88%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
