Lenovo has today renewed its catalog of Yoga family laptops, and among the various models there is one that is especially striking: it is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X with Intel processors, and that also has a variant with AMD processors, the Slim 7 Pro X.
These laptops feature a 14.5-inch display with remarkable resolution and the NVIDIA Studio validation which is intended especially for digital content creation environments.

A design in which the webcam has its own “inverted notch”
The design of these Slim 7i Pro X and Slim 7 Pro stands out for some screen frames in which we find a curious detail: the webcam looks for its site with a kind of notch or inverted notch which means that precisely in that central part the upper frame is somewhat wider.
Thanks to this, Lenovo can seamlessly integrate both the Full HD webcam and an IR sensor that will support the handshake authentication facial via Windows Hello.
The rest of the design is conservative and elegant, making use of 6000 series aluminum and the Comfort Edge Design design language that rounds the edges of the equipment.
On the sides we find various ports, but there is a noteworthy note: a privacy switch that allows you to disable the webcam in a much more forceful way.
There is a curious difference between the Intel model and the AMD: the latter does not have an HDMI portand includes an additional USB-A port instead.
A bet oriented to creators
Those responsible for Lenovo offer in these teams some features that are well thought out for content creators. The first thing that stands out is its 14.5-inch “3K” screenwhich can be found in a gloss or matte finish and which also has a touch variant.
We also have the latest processors from Intel (12th generation) and AMD (Ryzen 6000), accompanied by up to 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM at high speed (6400 MHz in the case of the modules of the AMD model, somewhat less -6000 Mhz- for the Intel) and up to 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD.
These processors can be combined with up to an NVIDIA RTX 3050and the NVIDIA Studio validation makes us have that guarantee of being able to take advantage of these options and even enjoy very decent gaming sessions in which we will also have the support of NVIDIA G-SYNC technology.
The battery is another of the notable sections: those 70 Whr will allow it to offer good autonomy (up to 12.5 hours of video playback according to the manufacturer in the Intel variant, 15.5 hours in the AMD model). Fast charging also allows recharge 50% of the battery in just 30 minutes.
