Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this computer I researched for months and the screen size 15.3 is perfect I originally wanted the 16-in but I don't really notice the difference in almost like the size of the screen the displays magnificent beautiful it's super bright and the keyboard is laid out where the numbers are big you could see the symbols and I like the feel of the keyboard. It's fast and runs very cool and quiet. I went from an AMD processor that got hot to a I7 Intel processor which is very fast. I love that it's got 32 gigs of RAM which is more than plenty and is perfect because I have so many tabs open when I'm on a browser. The look of it is like a light gray and it's so pretty and it's very compact! It's very thin and very lightweight which again is hard to find. I would definitely buy it and highly recommend it.

Really happy with this laptop so far. It’s fast, lightweight, and runs super smooth even when I have multiple business programs, tabs, and design software open at once. The screen quality is beautiful and the touchscreen is a nice bonus too. I mainly use it for my business, designing, multitasking, and content creation, and it handles everything really well without slowing down. The 32GB RAM and 1TB storage definitely make a difference. I also love how sleek and professional it looks. It feels high-end without being bulky or heavy. The keyboard is comfortable, battery life has been solid for workdays, and overall it just feels reliable. Definitely recommend if you need a powerful laptop for business, creative work, and multitasking.

Good: -Battery life (Almost never had it die on me, when not charging you should switch the mode from performance to battery saving) -Display is smooth, maybe a little too glossy but very clean -Performance is good, when working with unity and OpenGL it was able to run it somewhat smoothly, pretty slow on the start up of projects but it’s good for a laptop -Gaming is great, I played Metro Exodus, Deadlock, & R6S and stay in the range of 70+ (with the right tuning of graphic settings of course, you usually want to play on low. Also tune with Intel’s Graphic Software to create profile settings for specific games) -Copilot is pretty nice, especially since it comes with a membership so you don’t have to worry about tokens, still prefer Claude though -Size is pretty small, lightweight, and slim as the name suggests, can fit in a kids backpack Criticism: -32 GBs is just enough to last me a single semester until I have to wipe things from files, unity was a pain in the butt when the projects can reach almost 1GB -Drivers, Constant driver updates from intel, and they are meant to improve performance but they can sometimes take away fps. Overall, a good laptop for its price range, it plays both sides of productivity and recreational use good but not great. Definitely recommend for college students.

This is a wonderful laptop. In fact, I like it so much I bought two! These have amazing sound, built-in AI assistant, and screen size/keyboard just right. The graphics are great, battery life above average and this laptop doesn't get hot like so many others. Lenovo is built to last, and it's my go-to brand.

This laptop represents a great value in todays PC market where the AI boom has created elevated prices for computer components namely RAM. This laptop feels solid and appears to be well made. Backlit keyboard feels firm and responsive. The size, for my needs, is in the sweet spot being 15.3". I have found that 14" and lower laptops do not provide enough screen real-estate and start having issues with heat dissipation and shortened battery life. This laptop features decent integrated graphics, more than sufficient for non gaming related tasks, but be warned that if your aim is to game this will not be a good match for your needs. The screen is very nice being OLED 3k @ 120 hz. However, the one flaw with this laptop and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the screen is very glossy. As such it can be hard to see the screen in very bright (eg outdoor) environments.

This laptop has exceeded my expectations. I picked up the 32GB model when it was on sale after doing several hours of research and have had it for a couple weeks so far. I was deciding between this and the 32GB Yoga 9i Aura w/ 14" 2.8K OLED + 258V CPU but couldn't justify the additional $400 for what was being offered in the Yoga 9i. ABOUT MY USAGE: I needed a laptop because I had a 2022 Lenovo Slim 9i (14" 4K OLED, 32GB RAM, Intel i7-1280P), that was stolen and my 8-year old backup laptop was nearly unusable for my needs. I am a software engineer and I usually run several instances of IntelliJ/VSCode at the same time with multiple Chrome browsers, so my RAM usage is high, and CPU usage can vary, but more on the power-user side of things. I do not particularly need a powerful GPU unless I decide to do some gaming in Windows, but I use Immersed VR for a virtual workspace with a Meta Quest 3, and that can be harder on the graphics. Similarly, I installed a dual-boot of Ubuntu (24.04 LTS at first, now 25.04) + Windows 11. This laptop has been a perfect replacement for my Slim 9i which was a very perfomant and well-built laptop. I also use an M1 Max MacBook Pro 16" (32GB RAM) for software development at my job, and it has always been a reliable, powerful, and efficient device, so that and the Slim 9i are my baselines for this review. REVIEW: 1. Size: The screen size was actually HUGE plus for me. The 14" screen on my Slim 9i felt small at times when trying to multi-task with side-by-side windows, as it was hard to fit enough on the screen. Conversely, the 16" MBP feels too large at times to travel with, but that's mostly because the weight of the MBP is 50% more than this Slim 7i and it's extremely thick!! The 15.3" screen falls perfectly in between those and the balance of screen size + weight + thickness on this device makes it my favorite laptop I have owned so far for portability. 2. Keyboard: Keyboard is perfect! Always have been a big fan of Lenovo keyboards, and this one is better than my Slim 9i, because they had made the keys shallow that year, so they didn't feel as good. I like the keyboard on this slightly more than the MBP, but might be a personal preference (love having the delete key for typing too). They do leak some light when the backlight is on, but not a big deal. 3. Trackpad: Feels good for a mechanical one. Large area, and quieter than my Slim 9i which is nice, but also not as great as the MBP haptic one. 4. Design: HUGE deal breaker for me was Thunderbolt/USB-C charging ports on both sides on the computer, so I am not limited when travelling. It was harder than I thought it would be to find a perfect laptop that had that, like the Yoga Pro 9i has both USB-C on one side, along with the charging port. I don't have much of a need for the HDMI/USB-A, but they're nice to have I also like that there is no numpad (similar to both my other laptops) since I never use it and it turns me off from most larger windows laptops because it just takes up space that I would never use and often results in a sacrifice of speakers/laptop dimensions. Aesthetic is OK, nothing too special, but I do like overall color, shape, and appearance of the laptop when using it, and the subtle YOGA branding, but the Lenovo logo on the back is meh. Build quality feels nice/sturdy with the metal. I like how stiff the hinge is, makes the laptop feel extremely durable. My Slim 9i had a very loose hinge which I did not like. The 3.2lb weight feels very light for the size, and I love it for travel, especially compared to the slightly larger MBP being 4.8lb (way too thick)! Speakers are loud, they seem good enough for watching videos and playing some music, but I'm not an audiophile. Webcam is BAD, but that's clearly something that was sacrificed to keep this at a good price point, so I'm ok with that. 5. Screen: This was one of my concerns when buying, because I loved the 4K OLED screen on my Slim 9i and the screen on this is does not seem on par of with that in terms of the contrast/color, but I didn't expect it to be since this is on a more value-driven product line. Same comparison with the miniLED on the MBP because of the deep blacks that it can get. But, this still uses a very nice display, and colors appear to be as accurate as the MBP and the brightness was a big benefit on this, since the 500 nits peak brightness helps A LOT when working in bright environments, allowing me to work on-the-go very conveniently. There were a lot of people complaining about the screen gloss, and I will say, it is pretty glossy, and in a dark room with the keyboard backlight, you see the reflection. But this was an easy fix after installing a Matte Screen Protector on Amazon for <$15 (https://amzn.to/3SFNjem). The touchscreen is always a nice-to-have IMO and I like that it's included where my MBP does not have one. All in all, a great screen for the price point, but would love to have an OLED in the future 6. CPU: Seems to be very power efficient. The fans never seem to be running loudly and I would compare it to my MBP in terms of quietness, which is impressive. I will say, I don't think that the peak performance matches either of my other computers, which is somewhat disappointing since this is 3+ years newer. To be honest, that's okay since it is comparable to what I'm upgrading from. It can get somewhat hot, but haven't experienced anything insanely hot so far, and I think the heat dissipation benefits from the larger body than the 14" alternative would've had. 7. GPU: I haven't really tried to game on this at all, since I have mostly been using Ubuntu Linux to code, but I have used Immersed VR a couple times. The Immersed app on Ubuntu seems to be a lot smoother on this than my Slim 9i, but it's not as good as my MBP which is seamless. I think the performance is limited more by the Ubuntu OS support than anything though, as it works smoothly with Windows. 8. RAM: I need 32GB, so I cannot speak on the 16GB model, but if you are a heavy user, or might be in the future, I think the 32GB will be more future-proof, if you can afford it. 9. Battery: This is a big deal as well, and my review is going to be based on Ubuntu battery life, but I'm seeing 5-7 hours when using several software IDEs and 10+ chrome browsers/tabs at any given movement. Definitely seems to benefit from the new Intel Chips that are using way less wattage (almost half of my Slim 9i's). I would consider this good for the usage, and I think it compares to my MBP. I will say, I'm disappointed there is only a 70Wh battery, since my 14" Slim 9i was able to fit a 75Wh battery in a smaller body. They could probably fit a 75-80Wh battery and made this a near-perfect laptop. Linux (Ubuntu): This was a major deal breaker for me as well, since I need Linux for software development. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS initially and the speakers did not work at all, but I can manage without that). I ended up upgrading to the latest 25.04 which fixed that though. There is another weird issue that still exist which is annoying but also manageable: When the laptop goes into suspend/sleep and wakes, some things stop working: a. The keyboard shortcuts for brightness adjustment don't work (no feedback on brightness), but adjusting in the settings does still work b. They keyboard shortcuts for keyboard backlight do show that they are working, but they don't do anything Overall this laptop is fantastic and really excels in every area that matters to me and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially as a developer as a MBP alternative, or potentially for a student. The value you get out of this laptop is hard to beat (especially when on sale) and will probably be all the laptop you need.

Good laptop, until the screen stopped working. 63 days into the purchase. Do not recommend. I'm heavy lenovo user. This is the first lenovo laptop I do not recommend. I will update you on how support responds to this.

Spectacular laptop, perfect screen size, light weight, comfortable keyboard and large size smooth touchpad. Just needed to use a light theme with a dark mouse pointer switching back to windows from mac after 10+ years of mac usage. Get the higher end 32gb RAM version and you will be set for the next 10 years.

I have to start by stating I did get a DOA unit - no power no lights. Best Buy is good about getting a replacement so fairly painless. At least I didn't go through setup to have it break after! Second unit has been exceptional. Screen is high quality, keyboard feels nice, and it has plenty of power for it's function. The Arc 140V can even do some light gaming if that is your thing. Battery life appears to be great. It stays nice and cool under regular use. It's thin and light. and the 15.3" screen is a nice tweener for someone who wants bigger than 14 but (likely) lighter and more mobile than 16. My biggest complaint is it comes with Home and not Pro. This was a purchase for a family member; I would get it again, they seem very happy. I'll know more over time.

The display for this laptop is incredible! This laptop is incredibly light, and it does not overheat at all, even on long use. It is the perfect weight for carrying around in my backpack, which was originally one of my concerns. The battery life is great and lasts all day, which is perfect for long school days.

I am impressed by this laptop. It is fast and doesn't really get hot. The sound quality is speaker is pretty good and the volume can be turned quite loud as well!

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura has been a great daily driver for me. It’s thin, light, and feels premium, with a bright 120 Hz display that makes everything look smooth. Performance has been more than enough for my everyday work, and the battery easily lasts through a full day. The keyboard is excellent, though I wish the trackpad felt a bit more precise

Fast, thin, lightweight, nice screen resolution. Should have more USB ports.

I’ve been using the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (15.3”, Intel Core Ultra 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. This laptop nails the balance between sleek design, strong performance, and long battery life. Design & Display: It’s thin, light, and feels premium with its sturdy aluminum build. The 3K 120Hz touchscreen is bright, colorful, and super smooth — perfect for both work and Netflix. Performance: With Intel's new Ultra 7 chip and 32GB of RAM, everything runs fast and smooth. Great for multitasking, light content creation, and everyday productivity. Not made for gaming or heavy editing, but handles most tasks with ease. Battery: Battery life is outstanding . I’ve easily gotten 12+ hours on a single charge with mixed use, which is a huge plus. Keyboard & Audio: Typing feels great, and the speakers are surprisingly loud and clear. You’ll enjoy Zoom calls and media without needing external audio. Some minor downsides: - Not a 2-in-1, despite being called “Yoga” - Touchpad is fine, but not best in class - Reflective screen in bright environments Bottom line: This is a fantastic premium Windows laptop for students, professionals, or anyone who wants power without sacrificing portability or battery life. Rating: 9/10

This laptop was the easiest to set up and start working on that I have ever had. It takes literally zero "techie" knowledge to operate, looks great, has a really nice balance feel, and because it handles bluetooth accessories, such as mice and keyboards, the fact that it may have less USB cnnections didn't matter. The computer also practically set itself up with my fifteen year old Canon printer. Lastly, I want to recognize all of the folks at Best Buy who were very patient with my 70-year-old style of buying, which included asking a ton of questions, most of which I probably not need to ask if I was a 15-year old, and going through several models of laptops (over two seperate visits) before deciding on purchasing this one. Bottom line: I got a computer that had everything I need for my work and home projects, confident that I won't need to replace it two or three years from now.

My son just purchased the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition Copilot+ PC, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience and the product itself. The seller went above and beyond—providing detailed explanations, helpful comparisons, and thorough research to make sure we understood all our options. They even helped us find the best warranty, which gave us peace of mind. Since bringing it home, my son has been using it every day for his schoolwork, and it’s been extremely helpful for his studies. The laptop has excellent build quality, a bright screen, long battery life, and is very portable—perfect for a college student. I highly recommend this computer and the amazing service we received from the seller.

I bought this laptop for school. I have been using it for a few months now and it does not disappoint. Overall use is excellent, it is very light, the charge holds for sometime and it does charg fast. The only issue I saw is that sometimes the screen looks a bit blurry when it refreshes but for a few seconds and it doesn't bother me. Perhaps it has to do with the graphics. I do love it though, it is perfect for what I need it.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is a mixed bad of a computer. It is very pleasant to use, with a (very) bright, color accurate LCD panel, a firm chassis with great build quality, a delightful keyboard, a nice mechanical trackpad, and very good battery life. It runs cool and quiet even under load, and is very well suited for office tasks. It has plenty of ports and is easy to fit into a bag. Downsides include a tendency to go to sleep and refuse to wake, LCD screen still isn't as nice to look at as OLED, its speakers have way more bass than they do vocal support, an inability to open one-handed (even though this isn't a 2-in-1) and touch screen but no pen support. The webcam privacy shutter is electronic (which isn't as reliablle as physical) and a power button on the side which is easy to accidentally press.

Laptop works great! Its screen is high definition and allows for everything to be seen clearly. The laptop is lightweight and fast. The processor is powerful enough to run CAD programs and do schoolwork.

Like the great display even though LCD as opposed to the better contrast OLEDs on other laptops. This LCD is crisp and does not have the screen door effect like most OLEDs have so it's a big deal. On most OLEDs, text looks fuzzy and not crisp, really terrible. This laptop ran pretty snappy and had 8 to 9 hours of battery life for my use. The negatives are that there is no fingerprint reader which is important when face recognition does not work reliably and that the laptop is very slippery to hold and will certainly fall from your clutches one day. The under side with the large grille for air flow is flimsy while holding the laptop. The webcam is also not great. Lenovo wants you to spend 2k before they will give you all of this which is being greedy. I returned it for these reasons and also because thr IR camera for face recognition was faulty and couldn't get Lenovo support to fix.
