Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x
This entry covers Lenovo's Yoga Slim 7x 14Q8X9 platform, a 14.5-inch Snapdragon X Elite/X Plus Copilot+ PC with a 3K OLED touch display. Lenovo specifies 16GB or 32GB soldered memory, a 70Wh battery, Wi-Fi 7 and three USB4 ports.
Buying verdict
Choose Yoga Slim 7x for a very light OLED ARM Windows laptop with modern USB4 connectivity. Check ARM app and accessory compatibility first, and note that the memory is soldered and the chassis has no USB-A, HDMI, audio jack or card reader listed in its core port specification.
