Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14IMH9
With the Core Ultra processors, Intel would finally like to catch up to AMD when it comes to iGPU performance. We have reviewed the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14 to see whether they can manage that. Will Intel's comeback be a success?

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i (14″, Gen 9) is an almost perfect compact laptop for content creation or other color-sensitive work. The dual-fan cooling solution is doing its job well during heavy loads where the optional Intel Core Ultra 7 155H can sustain 2.80 GHz / 2.40 GHz P and E-core frequencies in longer stress. The GeForce RTX 4050 has zero problems maintaining a 60W TGP while it’s utilized for gaming or other graphics-heavy job. In this scenario, the noise is average and the keyboard doesn’t feel hot to the touch. Speaking of which, the board is comfortable for typing and the big touchpad is very smooth. The port selection is modern but it’s also a bit limited since you lose one of the Type-C ports when the charger is plugged in. If you need a dGPU, you’ll end up with a laptop with just one M.2 slot – the iGPU-only siblings got two of these.

Prices for the Lenovo Slim 7 starts at $899 with a few configuration options available. My review unit cost $1,116 sporting 32GB of memory and an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU. You can opt for the Ultra 5 if you like. Would I recommend this laptop? Not really. It's certainly a decent machine. Lenovo made this laptop travel-friendly: it's durable, has a long battery life, and is lightweight at around three pounds. However, these three features alone don't cut it for me. The device's hardware can't handle tough workloads like graphic design; there are other machines better suited for that type of work. And its nearly $1,000 price tag makes it a hard sell for me. There are other options out there that can do the same thing, if not better. One of those laptops is the 12th-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's a bit more expensive than the Slim 7, but it's worth the price. Another option would be the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, a lightweight and portable alternative.

The Slim 7i Gen 9 would have been a standout laptop a few years ago, offering class-leading performance and an OLED display at midrange and near-budget pricing. Today, it faces a lot more competition, and it’s held back by lesser battery life. Even so, there’s a lot to like. The keyboard and touchpad are very good, the chassis is solidly built, and it looks good. At its price of $1,050, it offers a great configuration. I can give it a recommendation, and if Lenovo pushes a configuration to around $800, it will rate even higher.

14.50":
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

79.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
