Lenovo’s new Slim series notebooks have high-res displays, compact bodies and the latest Intel or AMD chips

Lenovo has unveiled a whole bunch of new thin and light laptops set to launch this summer, including the 2.14 pound Lenovo Slim 7i Carbon with a 13.3 inch display and 28-watt Intel Alder Lake-P processor, the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X and Slim 7i Pro X notebooks with 14.5 inch, 3072 x 1920 pixel 120 Hz displays and a choice of Intel or AMD processor options, and the new Lenovo Slim 9i, which is an Intel-powered 14 inch notebook with up to a 4K OLED display.

The first of these new notebooks should begin shipping later this month, but most will hit the streets in June, 2022.

Lenovo’s Slim 9i laptop has the highest starting price, at $1799. But it’s got premium specs and design to go along with that premium price point. Among other things, this model has an aluminum alloy body, quad speakers, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, and support for up to an Intel Core i7-1280P processor. But it’s probably the OLED display that does the most to drive up the price.

The Slim 7 Pro X and Slim 7i Pro X laptops are intriguing for their unusual display size and resolution. The Intel model starts at $1699 and supports up to a Core i7-12700H processor with optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, while the AMD version starts at $1499 and supports up to a Ryzen 9 6900HS processor with Radeon integrated graphics.

Lenovo’s ultralight Slim 7i Carbon has a 13.3 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel 90 Hz display, support for up to a Core i7-1260P processor, and Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. It has a carbon-reinforced magnesium alloy chassis to keep the weight down, but it also has the smallest battery of Lenovo’s new Slim series laptops, at just 50 Wh. Price will start at $1299 when this model goes on sale in June.

The Lenovo Slim 7i 14″ laptop is a 2.9 pound notebook coming in May for $1199 and up, with an aluminum body, Intel Alder Lake P and Alder Lake H processor options, and optional support for one of NVIDIA’s entry-level mobile graphics solutions. This is the only laptop of the bunch that even comes with the option of a 60 Hz display, but it’s available with up to a 120 Hz IPS LCD display or a 90 Hz OLED screen.

Lenovo will also offer an AMD version of the Slim 7i in some markets, where it will be sold as the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro. And there are also a few new 16 inch models coming to the Lenovo Slim family this summer.

Here’s a run-down of key specs for Lenovo’s new Slim laptops with 14.5 inch or smaller displays.

If you’re looking for something a bit bigger, the upcoming Lenovo Slim 7i and Lenovo Slim 7 are both available with 16 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel touchscreen displays featuring high refresh rates. The Slim 7 supports up to an AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics, while the Intel-powered Slim 7i supports up to a Core i7-12700H processor and Intel Arc A370M graphics.

Prices start at $1499 for the AMD model and $1599 for Intel versions, and both should be available starting in June, 2022.
