Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14 G9 review - Multimedia laptop with Snapdragon X Elite and great 3K OLED display
Lenovo currently offers two laptops with the new Qualcomm ARM processors. In addition to the ThinkPad T14s G6 for business customers, the manufacturer also offers the Yoga Slim 7x 14 G9 for private customers. This is a multimedia laptop with a 14.5-inch 3K OLED touchscreen and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The only processor available is the slowest Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100) without dual-core Turbo.
The basic model with 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB SSD costs 1,399 Euros (~$1,533), and our test unit with 32 GB of RAM and a 1-TB SSD comes with a suggested retail price of 1,599 Euros (~$1,752). This version (incl. Windows 11 Home) is also available in Lenovo's Campus program for 1,399 Euros (~$1,533).

Case - Aluminum in Cosmic Blue
The Yoga Slim 7x follows the current designs of the Lenovo laptops including the camera bulge that doesn't look particularly attractive. The laptop is exclusively available in the color Cosmic Blue, which either looks very dark (almost black) or vibrant blue, depending on the angle of the light. The color reminds us of the Midnight color versions of the current MacBook Air models, including their being susceptible to showing fingerprints.
The case is made of aluminum and both the stability and workmanship turn out very good. The base unit is very stable and there are no creaking noises here. But the same isn't the case for the hinges, since opening the display lid always produces some slight creaking noises - at least in our test unit. The hinges themselves are adjusted well and only allow for some slight wobbling. The maximum opening angle is 165 degrees. Although the display lid is thin, it is still very stable.
Lenovo specifies a thickness of 12.9 mm (~0.5 in), but this is only true for the front of the base unit. It is 15 mm (~0.6 in) in the back, which Lenovo should also specify. This places the Slim 7x in the middle of the field of comparison devices, even though with its 14.5-inch display it is also one of the widest. The weight is almost 1.3 kg (~2.9 lb), with the compact 65-Watt charger adding another 324 grams (~11.4 oz).
Equipment - Slim 7x exclusively with USB-C
Lenovo has equipped the Slim 7x exclusively with USB-C ports (USB 4.0), even forgoing a 3.5-mm audio port. But at least you can charge the laptop on either side.
Communication
Like all the current Snapdragon devices, the Yoga Slim 7x is also equipped with the FastConnect 7800 module, which already supports Wi-Fi 7. In combination with our reference router from Asus, the transfer rates are very good overall, and we didn't run into any problems at all with the signal quality during our testing period.

Webcam
The top edge of the display lid houses a 1080p webcam that creates recordings of average quality. The studio effects from Windows are of course also supported. In addition, there is also an electronic shutter and an IR module for face recognition via Windows Hello.
Accessories
The box includes a 4-in-1 docking station that offers a regular USB-A port, an HDMI port, a VGA port, and a 3.5-mm audio port. While this can really make sense during stationary operation, having the corresponding connections on the laptop directly would of course be more practical on the road.
Maintenance
The bottom case cover is fastened with only four Torx screws and can be removed easily. Inside, you get access to the screwed-in battery, the two fans, and the M.2-2242 SSD. The WLAN module also appears to be replaceable, but it is covered by a cooling unit that would have to be removed first. The working memory is soldered and cannot be replaced or expanded.
Sustainability
Lenovo advertises a CO2 offset of 0.5 tons, and the laptop is also EPEAT Gold certified. On the other hand, at 1.3 watts the standby consumption is too high and should still be improved via update. The packaging mainly consists of recyclable nature-based materials, and the manufacturer also says that the packaging is kept as compact as possible.
Input Devices - Comfortable Yoga keyboard
There are no surprises with the keyboard, and Lenovo uses the same keyboard we already know from other Yoga models. Thanks to a sufficiently long and precise stroke, the typing experience is very comfortable. Only the larger keys tend to produce some slight clattering. While the small arrow keys are less than optimal, otherwise there are no problems with the layout. There is a two-step white keyboard illumination that can also be activated automatically via the brightness sensor.
With a footprint of 13.5 x 8 cm (~5.3 x 3.14 in), the ClickPad offers sufficient space for cursor movements, and the sliding characteristics are very good. The pad can be clicked in the bottom half, but the clicking noise is very loud. The capacitive touchscreen is also available for inputs.
Display - 3K OLED with 90 Hz
The highly reflective OLED touchscreen impresses with a high resolution of 2944x1840 pixels and a subjectively great image quality. In contrast to many other OLED touchscreens, there is no grid effect in bright areas here. The colors look extremely vibrant, black is saturated, movements look very smooth thanks to the 90 Hz refresh rate, and the response times are very fast. Both the brightness and the color temperature can be adjusted automatically to the surrounding light conditions.
Lenovo specifies a brightness of 500 cd/m² in SDR operation, but our test unit barely misses this with 475 cd/m² on average. Thanks to the low black value, the maximum contrast is extremely high, as is typical for OLED displays. We determine a maximum HDR brightness of 986 cd/m² in a small image area and 824 cd/m² with an almost completely white image. With this, the Yoga reaches significantly higher brightness values than the current OLED panels from Samsung, with only the OLED panel of MateBook X Pro (120 Hz) being even brighter.

* ... smaller is better
The X-Rite Color Assistant, which offers various color profiles, is preinstalled on the Yoga Slim 7x. The P3 profile is already very well calibrated, with all the color deviations below the important target value of 3. Only the grayscale deviation at full brightness is a slight outlier, although there is no color tint and the color temperature is also suitable. Additionally, an accurate sRGB profile is also available. The AdobeRGB profile shows slightly higher deviations, and the AdobeRGB color space is only covered to almost 91%.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 360 Hz Amplitude: 30 % | ≤ 90 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 360 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 360 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The OLED panel produces PWM flickering at a frequency of 360 Hz when the brightness is reduced to 90% or lower.
Outdoors, you always have to struggle with reflections, particularly on bright days. Besides a slight blue tint from steep viewing angles, which is typical for OLED panels, the viewing angles give no reason for complaint.
Performance - Snapdragon X Elite and 32 GB RAM
The Yoga Slim 7x is delivered exclusively with the basic Snapdragon X-Elite (X1E-78-100) that doesn't offer a dual-core Turbo. Depending on the model, there are either 16 or 32 GB of RAM (LPDDR5x-8448) that cannot be expanded.
Test Conditions
Lenovo doesn't offer its own power profiles. We ran the benchmarks and measurements below in the Best Performance Windows mode.
Processor - X1E-78-100
The X1E-78-100 is the smallest Snapdragon X-Elite processor. It doesn't offer dual-core Turbo. The maximum clock speed of the 12 cores is 3.4 GHz, and the processor in the Slim 7x is able to maintain this for about one minute. It is not possible to read the TDP with the Snapdragon chips, but considering the power consumption it should be about 50-55 watts at 3.4 GHz. After one minute, the clock speed begins to vary between 2.7 and 3.0 GHz, which corresponds to about 35-45 watts. In the native benchmarks, the performance is therefore very good. In battery operation, the multi-core performance drops by about 10%.

In contrast, the situation changes in the emulated benchmarks, where the test unit keeps behaving strangely, which also becomes very clear in our Cinebench R15 loop. In the first few minutes, the clock speed varies considerably, before it stabilizes only later at a high level. This is very unusual, and we have not seen it in any of our Snapdragon test units before. The performance in the emulated benchmarks is therefore relatively weak overall.

System Performance
The Yoga Slim 7x is a very responsive companion in everyday operation, and we also didn't run into any problems with the system stability. However, as in all the Snapdragon laptops, not all the apps would run. If you don't only use the usual current everyday apps in the newest version (such as Office, the browser, video streaming, etc.), you should do some research in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises. Peripheral devices that need their own drivers can also run into some compatibility problems.

DPC Latencies
We are unable to perform our standardized latency test, since the LatencyMon application does not run on the ARM system. But at least there are no problems with dropped frames when playing a 4K YouTube video.
Storage Solution
Lenovo has equipped the Slim 7x with a compact M.2-2242 SSD, which is connected via PCIe 4.0. Our test unit uses the 1-TB version of the Samsung PM9C1a, with 898 GB of this still available to the user after the first startup. The transfer rates of the SSD are very good, and the performance remains completely stable even after longer loads. You can find additional SSD benchmarks here.
