When I was looking up pricing for this laptop it actually turns out it is “temporally unavailable” on the Lenovo website. I am not sure if this is due to a chip shortage or what, but the last available price I was able to find for this specific unit was $949, which I feel is a great price! If AMD is going to continue to offer affordable and competitive mobile CPU solutions we are going to see some really great laptops in the future. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon a 9 out of 10 score.

We've stated that Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Dell's XPS 13 OLED are the two best laptops in the world. Its subpar keyboard keeps the IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon from joining them, but it's not far behind—getting a slightly larger OLED screen and a handy dongle with HDMI and USB-A ports for $300 less than a comparably equipped Dell is surely tempting. In short, the Carbon cross-breeding (and cross-branding) experiment, from ThinkPad over to IdeaPad, looks like a success out of the gate. The Slim 7 Carbon deserves a spot near the top of the short lists of shoppers hunting for a hot-value ultraportable.

Our review of the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon shows that Lenovo has an ace up its sleeve in offering a lightweight-yet-powerful ultrabook in the Philippines. The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is reasonably priced especially if you factor in its premium build and 90hz QHD+ OLED display. Save for the lack of Thunderbolt ports, the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is a great ultrabook to consider if you are looking for something that balances both being lightweight and powerful enough for most tasks.

Last year’s Yoga Slim 7i Carbon won our Tech Awards because of its unassailable blend of performance, portability, and price. And this year’s model is equally good because it has these same qualities. Performance has been improved but at no cost to portability, and it even gets an excellent OLED display. Perhaps the most incredible thing of all is that it is priced so competitively. For many readers, I think this can be their perfect notebook. But before you rush to click on the buy button, there’s at least one thing to consider. The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon’s biggest downfall is arguably its lack of Thunderbolt support. Granted, not everyone uses Thunderbolt accessories but it’s nice to have because it opens up a world of possibilities such as crazy-fast external storage, external graphics docks, and feature-packed docks. Less glaring shortcomings include the lack of a 1TB storage option, a dismal webcam, and a somewhat fussy trackpad. Even with its flaws, this is a very complete and solid notebook. There's no doubt that it will be amongst the forerunners in next year’s Best Ultraportable Notebook category.

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.

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.
87.5%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
