The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, crowned the king of Windows laptops in Stiftung Warentest's May 2025 tests, costing you a cool 2400 euros off the rack but currently offered for a steal at 1240 euros[2]. This bad boy scored major points for its excellent screen and battery performance[2][4].
While it lags slightly behind Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, among the current Windows laptops, the Yoga Slim 7 shines like a beacon[3]. Stiftung Warentest deems it "good" (grade: 1.7), a testament to its superior screen and battery (both grade: 1.3)[4]. Its performance across all categories—functions, handling, and versatility—is impressive too, scoring 2.0, 2.3, and 2.0 respectively[4].
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7's pricetag might seem steep at 1239 euros, but it's equipped with some top-tier accoutrements: a 15.3-inch IPS display, an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB RAM, a terabyte SSD, Intel Arc Graphics, a 120Hz refresh rate, four speakers, a 2MP webcam with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and integrated camera slider, a Lithium-polymer battery promising up to 22 hours of battery life, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and 3.5mm jack connections, Windows 11 Home as the operating system, an aluminum body, measurements of 1.39 x 34.38 x 23.54 cm, and a weight of 1.53 kg[2].
So, is the offer on the Yoga Slim 7 worth it? Well, a peek at its price history reveals that cheaper deals have surfaced.
