The author now chooses a laptop computer, one is that it has strong specifications, and the other is that it is light and portable. Therefore, a highly mobile laptop is the best solution for me.and Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon Can it meet the author’s request? Then look at the next test.
Pure white body with minimalist design
Honestly speaking, many laptops nowadays show people with a “stable” design style, that is, they use dark colors as the main color of the fuselage.Yoga Slim 7 Carbon There are two body colors – “Storm Grey” and “Haoyue White” to choose from. Yoga Slim 7 Carbon All are available in the Lenovo online store. The color of “Haoyue White” that the author tried out this time is quite rare with its pure white shape and simple body. The cover of Yoga Slim 7 Carbon also has a slightly different texture from that of ordinary laptops. I believe some people may worry that it is easy to stain and get fingerprints, but it is actually easy to clean and will not leave fingerprints when holding the body. So don’t worry regarding becoming a “dirty cat” in a short period of time.
▲The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is lightweight and slim, with a 13.3-inch screen and a narrow bezel design.
▲The pure white and minimalist body is quite rare, and the face cover has a slightly different texture from that of ordinary laptops, but it is actually easy to clean and will not leave fingerprints when holding the body.
▲The keyboard keys with backlight have a good typing feel and moderate resilience, but due to the size of the keyboard, the up and down direction keys are relatively thin, and it is easy to press wrongly.
▲The size of the touchpad is also moderate.
Aviation-grade carbon fiber shell is durable enough
The pure white shape of the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon actually contains quite strong elements. The reason is that the outer shell is made of aviation-grade carbon fiber material, and the palm rest and lower cover are made of magnesium alloy, and structural bars are used to enhance stability. As we all know, the carbon fiber material is hard and strong, and it is quite light. Therefore, the manufacturer said that the body weight has been reduced by as much as 40%, but the rigidity has been increased by 25%. The weight of the whole machine is only 973g, which is extremely light. It doesn’t feel heavy in the bag. The body of the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon has passed nine tough military-grade durability tests, so you don’t have to worry regarding the durability of your laptop, you can use it anytime.

▲The fuselage is quite thin, with a thickness of only 14.8mm.
Two USB-C The interface can still meet the needs
The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is light and thin, so I don’t expect too many interfaces. Indeed, the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon body is only equipped with two USB-C interfaces, one of which is USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and the other is Thunderbolt 4, so users can rely on Thunderbolt 4 to obtain a maximum transmission speed of 40Gbps, when using at home It can also be used with Thunderbolt 4 Dock for interface expansion. However, if you want to use more interfaces when you use it outside, you need to purchase an all-in-one USB-C Hub to carry it with you to enhance expandability.
▲The left side of the fuselage is the Thunderbolt 4 interface.
▲ There is a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 on the right, the video camera switch and the power button. It is worth mentioning that the interfaces on both sides support the charging function.
with Intel 12Generation Core i7-1260P processor
Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is powered by Intel’s 12th generation Intel Core i7-1260P processor with Alder Lake architecture, with 8 Efficient-cores and 4 Performance-cores. The Intel EVO standard allows the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon to wake up from sleep in a very fast time, high-speed transmission specifications and high battery life. In terms of performance, with the Intel Core i7-1260P processor, the PCMark score of 4880 is a good result. The only thing is that the body only has built-in Intel Iris Xe image processing, so don’t expect this machine to be able to handle high-demand image editing and general photo editing. Or simple high-definition movie clips are not a problem.

13.3 2.5K screen Resolution supports Dolby Vision
Although the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon has a thin body and uses a 13.3-inch screen (optional touch screen), this screen has a 16:10 ratio, a resolution of 2.5K, and a 90Hz Adaptive update rate (press Fn+R to adjust the screen refresh rate), the TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certified device effectively reduces eye fatigue and stress. Both the resolution and the Anti-Glare function are very suitable for users to carry out various work purposes and efficiency, and it is also competent to watch videos in spare time.
▲The 13.3-inch “PureSight” screen has the Anti-Glare function and Delta E<1 color accuracy. It will be more comfortable for the eyes when used for writing or image processing for a long time, and it can also meet the needs of normal use for viewing films.
▲The word Dolby Vision Atoms is printed on the body, which means that the screen supports Dolby Vision specifications and Dolby Atoms sound effects. With speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, it will bring a good sound and picture experience.
▲ The 13.3-inch “PureSight” screen has a good color performance when playing videos of Dolby Vision specifications.
▲The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon has a built-in Lenovo Vantage function, in which My Security can check whether the computer has sufficient security.
Lenovo Premium Care Services take care of user needs
Although the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon is made of aviation-grade carbon fiber material, it has a high degree of durability, but as the saying goes, “unforeseen circumstances”, there is always a chance that the computer will have problems. At this time, the Lenovo Premium Care service that comes with the purchase of the machine can play a role. The service provides professional all-weather technical support, can answer various software or hardware problems of users, and also provides annual computer inspections to prevent problems.

Summarize:
The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon meets the author’s requirements. The weight of 973g has high portability. Although it is extremely lightweight, it uses a high-strength carbon fiber material shell, which has quite good durability. It can be said to strike a balance between lightness and sturdiness. . The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon also has good performance with Intel’s 12th generation Intel Core i7-1260P processor.
