Lenovo 14" IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro

It comes in at a weight of 3.04 lb / 1.38 kg, and total dimensions of 12.3 x 8.7 x 0.7" / 312.4 x 221.4 x 16.9 mm.

It contains a 3.3 to 4.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7-11370H (11th Gen) processor with 12 MB of L3 Cache.

With an 11th gen Intel CPU you can be assured that the laptop has a recent CPU. Whilst not the latest, due to the release of the Intel 12 Series CPUs, it is still recent. However, with the release of the 12th gen you may wish to choose that instead to ensure the longevity of your new laptop.

There's a Integrated graphics card which is a Intel Iris Xe.

An integrated card tends to not offer as much graphics processing power as a dedicated video card.

The glossy screen that is offered may not suit everyone, particularly people working more in cafes or outside. You may notice glare or reflections more often than with non-glossy laptops.

The screen has a refresh rate of 90 Hz.

It's offered in a Glossy finish.

A brightness of 400 cd/m2, or nits, is available in the screen.

It comes with 512 GB of hard drive storage installed, via 1 x 512 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD harddrive.

The Lenovo 14" IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro has an estimated battery life of 20.6 Hours.

The battery life is achieved via a Non-Removable: 61 Wh capacity battery.

There's an option of using the Type-C USB ports, with 2 x Thunderbolt 4 (Supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery) ports being offered too, allowing both the use of almost any current peripheral, but also adaptors & dongles allowing use of additional ports for the laptop.

With a backlit keyboard, you'll clearly see your keys and ensure minimal mistakes when you're typing what you need to type.

Don't fret about your wired headphones though, the 3.5mm headphone jack will let you plug right in.

You'll find Wifi 6 inside the laptop, which is the current generation. This gives you a small step up in terms of future-proofing your tech, yet may not give you much of an advantage over wifi 5 unless your router and the rest of your setup is up to scratch.

With the latest standard of Bluetooth included, Bluetooth 5, you'll be set for a few more years of ensuring any new peripheral purchased is fully compatible.

The power supply for the Lenovo 14" IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a 65 W with USB Type-C so if you're concerned about power usage, make sure this fits within your requirements.
