The Yoga Slim 7x has a few different OLED touch displays with either a 1920x1200 (FHD+) or a 2880x1800 (2.8K) resolution. Aside from pixel count, the biggest differences involve brightness and refresh rate. The FHD+ model I have in the review unit tops out at 400 nits (SDR) or 600 nits (HDR); what's advertised is accurate based on my testing with a colorimeter. Unfortunately, the FHD+ version is capped at a 60Hz refresh rate, and there's a fair amount of glare if you're working in a bright space. The 2.8K display hits 120Hz, making it much easier on the eyes, and it also gets significantly bri

The Yoga Slim 7x (Gen 11) makes its debut at $1,099.99 at Lenovo's website. In this model, you get a Snapdragon X2 Plus (X2P-42) chip, 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and a 14-inch OLED touch display with FHD+ resolution.

As usual at Lenovo, you can configure your own model with a mix of hardware as required. Here's a look at th

Lenovo's Yoga Slim 7x (Gen 11) has the best battery life of any laptop I've personally tested. The battery has a decent 70Wh capacity, and the lower-res FHD+ display at 60Hz no doubt helps push efficiency; nevertheless, it's a laptop that I use all day off the charger. The longest the PC has been active without plugging in is around 24 hours. Now, that wasn't full-time use to be sure. A more accurate reading of active battery life using Windows Performance mode comes out to about 14 hours from a charge. This is all based on the Windows Battery Report tool that delivers a history of charges and

The new Surface Laptop 8 for Business is probably not the mainstream PC update you're hoping for. It's a specialized PC designed specifically for enterprise environments, with features and a price tag to match. What I will say is that the new Surface Laptop 8 for Business privacy screen option will likely be the main attraction for anyone who was on the fence anyway. It's an invaluable tool if you often work on the road. For everyone else, I recommend waiting for the consumer Snapdragon X2 models expected in the next couple of months.
