Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura undercuts Dell XPS 14 by over $300 and with twice the RAM

The Dell XPS 14 and Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition are now both widely available with similar Panther Lake CPU and display options to choose from. The two models compete directly with one another which makes this price comparison of particular interest.
When configuring the models as closely to one another as possible, the Lenovo model comes out to be more affordable with the same CPU, same display, same SSD capacity, and even twice the RAM as shown by the table below.
| Specification | Dell XPS 14 | Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Core Ultra 7 355 | Core Ultra 7 355 |
| Touchscreen | 2880 x 1800, OLED, 400 nits, 20 - 120 Hz | 2880 x 1800, OLED, 500 nits, 30 - 120 Hz |
| Storage | 1 TB | 1 TB |
| RAM | 16 GB LPDDR5x-7467 | 32 GB LPDDR5x-7467 |
| OS | Windows 11 Pro | Windows 11 Pro |
| Price | $1960 | $1630 |
Though Dell offers 32 GB of RAM as well, the option is tied to the higher-end Core Ultra X7 CPU instead. In other words, the Lenovo offers similar performance levels and a similar viewing experience in a design that's over 500 grams lighter all while saving over $300 in the process. The differences are difficult to ignore considering that the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura is one of Lenovo's best 14-inch clamshell in years.
Of course, prices can and will likely fluctuate in the weeks ahead due to the unprecedented level of uncertainty surrounding certain aspects of the supply chain. But for now, at least, the Lenovo system holds some eye-catching advantages over the Dell that shoppers will want to be aware of.
The XPS 14 still has a few notable advantages over the Lenovo, however. We recommend checking out our review on the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura to learn more about their similarities and differences.
