MagyarLenovo Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 in Review: Compact Powerhouse with Good Battery Life
Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 is a good-looking compact 14-inch notebook. Aside from its internal hardware it is identical to the Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 (Ryzen 7 4800U) and Yoga Slim 7 14IIL05 (Core i7-1065G7, GeForce MX350). Its competitors are devices such as the Asus Zenbook 14 UX425EA or Acer Swift 3 SF314-42.
We are not going to cover case, connectivity, input devices, speakers, and display as part of this review. If you want to find out more about these aspects, you will find detailed information in our Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 (Ryzen 7 4800U) review.

Display – IPS Included
Both contrast ratio (2067:1) and overall brightness (365.6 nits) of the reflective 14-inch FHD IPS display with great viewing angles are decent. We were also unable to detect any signs of PWM flickering, which is even more good news.
The panel is identical to its sibling’s. Nevertheless, our test results differ slightly. This difference is to be expected given that two even seemingly identical panels will never be truly identical.

Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 31 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 16 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 15 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 79 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (23.4 ms). | ||

| The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.692 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 96 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (37 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 21941 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance – Ryzen APU able to Perform Freely
Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 is a 14-inch notebook with more than enough performance for office and internet applications. Our particular review unit started at around 950 Euros. Other SKUs are available as well.
Test Conditions
Lenovo’s preloaded Vantage software allows users to pick between one of three available performance modes: Intelligent Cooling, High Performance, or Battery Saver. For the purpose of our benchmarks, we chose for the “Intelligent Cooling” mode given this is what is enabled by default. In addition, we ran a few benchmarks in the other two modes as well. You will find those results in the tables below.
Processor
The Yoga Slim is powered by a Ryzen 7 4700U (Renoir) APU by AMD. Its CPU consists of eight cores running at a base clock speed of 2 GHz with a turbo boost speed of up to 4.2 GHz. Simultaneous Multithreading (two threads per core) is not supported.
The CPU ran at up to 4-4.1 GHz for a short period of time while performing our CineBench multi-thread test. Afterwards, it dropped to 3.7-3.8 GHz. On battery, the device starts out at 1.3-2.5 GHz and slowly speeds up to 3-3.7 GHz. Single-thread tests were completed with clock frequencies fluctuating between 1.4 and 4.2 GHz.
We run the CineBench R15 multi-thread test for at least 30 minutes in a loop in order to determine whether or not a processor is capable of utilizing high turbo-boost clock speeds under sustained load. The scores dropped slightly between the first and fifth run and settled at a relatively consistent level afterwards. Turbo boost is applied, but only for a short time at high speeds. This changes when enabling the “High Performance” mode, which resulted in consistently higher clock speeds throughout the entire test.

Gaming Performance
The Yoga Slim 7’s built-in APU is capable of running many games smoothly. Most games will run smoothly in HD resolution (1280 x 720) with medium to sometimes even high details. Games with more moderate requirements will allow for even higher settings. Many current games are playable as well, albeit those will require lower settings in order to run adequately smooth.

We run Witcher 3 for 60 minutes in FHD with maximum details in order to determine whether or not a device is capable of maintaining high frame rates over long periods of time. The avatar remains stationary throughout the entire test. In this case, we found no drop in frame rates, and the GPU ran at full speed throughout the entire test.
