Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9 14IAP7 (82T0001MFR)

With its thin and light oatmeal aluminum design sports a sleek and understated appearance.

This versatile multimedia Ultrabook is equipped with good connectivity with its 3 USB 4 Type-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), its Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more efficient than Wi-Fi ax) or its audio port.
No classic USB port, however, nor HDMI video output, but you can always use an adapter USB-C to USB Where USB-C to HDMI if needed.

As an infrared webcam is integrated, you can authenticate yourself biometrically by facial recognition using Windows Hello technology.

The chiclet keyboard can of course be backlit, which is practical for better discerning its keys in the dark.

Those who wish to obtain the most faithful colors possible with large vertical and horizontal viewing angles and very deep blacks will be delighted that the screen adopts OLED and DCI-P3 specifications. As a bonus with the low latency provided by OLED and its 90Hz frequency higher than the 60Hz standard, the screen improves fluidity compared to a conventional panel.

Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9 14IAP7 (82T0001MFR)

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9 14IAP7 (82T0001MFR) is for those looking for a thin and light high-definition compact laptop PC that performs in versatile and multimedia-oriented use.

It delivers good general performance capable of satisfying many users because it is built around 16 GB of RAM and a Core i7-1280P Intel Alder Lake-P processor with 14 hybrid cores. The latter is a low-power model with a TDP of 28W against 15W usually allowing more power but in return less autonomy with a similar configuration.

Creatives will be delighted to be able to perform modest multimedia processing using RAM and multicore (and therefore the 14 cores of the Alder Lake-P), for example in photo editing or video encoding, thanks to this core.

On the other hand, to often carry out work requiring processor and / or graphics resources, it is better to turn to a PC based on a non-low power processor and / or an appropriate dedicated graphics card.

No dedicated graphics card on board here indeed. All the graphics are managed by the Iris Xe, a module integrated directly into the Core i7-1280P thanks to which you can watch photos and videos. Playing is also possible, including at modest titles, subject to concessions such as a reduction in the definition of the screen. Because 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

In any case, SSD storage will delight a maximum of users since it offers a large capacity of 1 TB, rivaling hard drives in this area.
As a bonus compared to the latter, an SSD offers several advantages: greater resistance to shocks, lower energy consumption, silent operation or even greater speed.

In practice, the SSD guarantees much better responsiveness and fluidity in use than a simple hard disk, which in particular implies much faster processing, as well as start-ups/stops and application launches, or even a faster arrival on online game cards.

Finally, expect this multimedia versatile Ultrabook to heat up and be heard moderately when pushed hard (eg: treatments). On the autonomy side, expect about 7 hours of battery operation in light use.
