Performance is strictly middle-of-the-road, and the Yoga Slim 7x turned in average scores among the five Copilot+ PCs I\u2019ve tested to date, on both general CPU-intensive applications and graphics-heavy tests, though I did achieve an oddly outlying high score on the Cinebench 2024 image-rendering benchmark I couldn\u2019t readily explain. A curious result, but I won\u2019t shrug at unexpectedly great performance, however fleeting it is.<\/p>\n

At the risk of repeating myself yet again, remember that Snapdragon-based computers still have compatibility issues<\/a> and won\u2019t run every app; if you need the basics\u2014web browser, Microsoft Office, Minesweeper<\/em>\u2014this won\u2019t be a big deal, but power users are already running into roadblocks with some of their most essential pieces of software.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The laptop\u2019s battery life, in keeping with other Copilot+ PC units, is exemplary. Its score of 15 hours and 36 minutes on a full-screen YouTube test was second only to the Surface Pro\u2019s 17 hours and 20 minutes<\/a>, and just ahead of the 15 hours I achieved on the HP EliteBook Ultra G1q<\/a>. Audio quality is fine but short of stellar; in a larger room, it won\u2019t be sufficient for movie night.<\/p>\n

The hands-on experience with the laptop is solid. The 14.5-inch screen is an oddball size, but it gives the laptop a bit more roominess without feeling overly large. The keyboard has that classic Lenovo snap, with well-spaced keys and a light powder coating on the keycaps that gives them a pleasant feel on the fingertips. The touchpad is spacious without being garishly large, and I rarely hit it with a palm while typing.<\/p>\n
