Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro 14ACH5, R7 5800H
Source: Ultrabook Review
Archive.org versionThe performance in sustained loads, paired with some very well-balanced power profiles, thermals, and noise levels are the primary selling point of this series over other compact notebooks with similar capabilities. Alongside, this Yoga Slim 7 Pro 14-incher is also built very well, offers a big battery and several good 16:10 screen options. On the other hand, the limited IO, the finicky inputs, and the lacking audio might steer you away, but for the most part, I expect this Yoga Slim 7 Pro to be a solid buy in its class, as long as available in your region.

Comment
Model:
The latest to join the Lenovo family is none other than the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro 14 2.8K. In terms of its design, this model is a bit narrower and taller than the 2020 Slim 7, but both are about the same weight at roughly 1.4 kilos, and overall the design lines are similar between the two. The significant change between the two is mostly because this Slim 7 Pro series gets a taller 16:10 display and needed the extra space inside for a more complex thermal design. As far as its design is concerned, the aesthetics are standard for a recent Yoga/IdeaPad laptop, with clean pieces of metal and fairly minimal Lenovo/Yoga branding. In addition, it is definitely worth mentioning that the build quality is quite spectacular, with one of the sturdiest keyboard-decks in the segment and almost no flex in the lid either. This is mostly due to the fact that thick pieces of aluminium are used for the entire construction, with this sort of grainier rougher finishing that offers excellent grip and should resist scratches well. Apart from that, Lenovo has implemented a sturdy hinge as well, the kind that keeps the screen in place as set-up and also allows one-handed adjustments, plus the ability to push back the display flat to 180 degrees.
As for the display, this device has been incorporated with a 16:10 panel with averagely sized bezels all around and a layer of protective glass. In addition, there is also an HD camera at the top, without IR. It is worth mentioning that this Slim 7 Pro gets pretty much the same keyboard seen on the Slim 7 and recent IdeaPad 5 models, but an updated larger clickpad. As for its keyboard, the layout is standard for this sort of portable Lenovo laptop, with full-sized and spaced keycaps. Overall, the keycaps are plastic, slightly rounded at the bottom, and not as soft to the touch as on the upper-class Lenovo models. In terms of its screen, it has to be one of the major selling points of this Yopa Slim 7 Pro series, as it’s a 16:10 format with high-res IPS or OLED panels. The device comes in with 2.8K 2800 x 1800 px resolution, 90Hz refresh, 400-nits of brightness, excellent blacks and contrast, and 100% sRGB color coverage. As far as its performance is concerned, this model has been equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, 1 TB of fast SSD storage, and Radeon Vega 8 graphics embedded into the AMD APU. In terms of its battery, there is a 61 Wh battery inside this Yoga Slim 7 Pro series. Overall, it is a great device to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.

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.
