Lenovo has introduced a new laptop, and today we are going to test it. First, let’s check out the components inside the box. There is a separate section for charging, a power cable, and a 65-watt charger, which is very portable. The Type-C port also has a low accent.
Talking about the design, this laptop is well-built and sleek. It features a full aluminum build and weighs 1.46 kg. The hinge does not allow it to be opened with one finger, but the display feels solid with minimal flex. Even though it is a slim laptop, it offers a good selection of ports. On the left side, there is an HDMI 2.0 port, an AV headphone jack, and on the right side, there is a Type-A 3.2 port along with a Thunderbolt 4 port. Below these, there is a power button and a privacy shutter. In terms of wireless connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Testing the keyboard, the key travel is good, and it comes with a backlit keyboard that does not make much noise while typing. It is relatively silent. The trackpad is quite large but is not made of glass, though it still works fine. The webcam is 1080p and supports facial recognition for Windows Hello login.
Moving on to the display, it is a 15.3-inch panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2.8K. It supports 100% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB color accuracy, making it ideal for both content consumption and gaming. Since this is part of Lenovo’s Yoga series, the screen can tilt back up to 180 degrees, which can be useful in different situations. The display also has touch functionality. However, the blacks are not very deep, which can be a slight drawback when watching content.
The most surprising part of this laptop is the speakers. Many Windows laptops have average speakers, but this one stands out with excellent sound quality. It features four speakers, supports Dolby Atmos, and delivers impressive bass.
One of the best aspects of this laptop is its software features. Since this is an AI-powered laptop, it comes with exclusive AI-driven functions. Smart Modes are available for privacy, including Shield Mode, which alerts the user if someone is looking at the screen from behind. Wellness Mode helps reduce eye strain by reminding users to take breaks. These modes can be manually enabled, but AI can also activate them automatically.
A standout feature is Smart Share, an Intel-powered function that makes sharing files and data more efficient. Additionally, subscription-based features like Smart Care provide real-time troubleshooting support.
Regarding hardware, this model has 32GB LPDDR5X RAM with a speed of 8533 MHz. The variant tested comes with a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD with high read and write speeds. Benchmarks, including PCMark and 3DMark tests, show good performance, but real-world testing is even more impressive.
In Lightroom, importing 1000 photos—half in RAW and half in JPG—took 10 minutes and 49 seconds. In Premiere Pro, a 40-minute 4K video with light color grading was exported in 25 minutes and 9 seconds. This proves that despite its slim form factor, the laptop delivers solid productivity performance.
For gaming, it handled GTA 5 at 1080p on very high settings, maintaining 60-70 FPS. Even in more demanding games like Forza Horizon 5 at high settings, it provided 60-80 FPS, which is impressive considering it lacks a dedicated GPU.
Overall, this laptop offers strong features, but one area that could be improved is the display. At this price point, a higher-quality panel would have been a nice addition. Speaking of price, this variant costs ₹1.5 lakhs, with some offers bringing it down to ₹1 lakh through cashback and exchange benefits.
These new AI features in the software are exciting.
