The Hexagon NPU in Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x's Snapdragon X Elite processor provides creators with onboard computing power features such as text-to-image, advanced photo and video editing features, text creation and editing feedback, and more time-saving features, allowing creators to better conceive new ideas. Other smarter user experiences include advanced cameras and call quality, etc., lossless high-definition audio, 4K streaming, faster internet connections, and enhanced security. This means the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x can handle complex tasks quickly and is also very energy efficient, with a 70Wh battery that translates into several days of battery life. The Lenovo AI Core can also work in collaboration with the Snapdragon X Elite processor to intelligently determine the exact user scenario and dynamically adjust power and efficiency according to the task at hand. This means you can use powerful artificial intelligence capabilities on thin and portable devices to be creative anytime, anywhere.

Starting at just 1.28 kg and 12.9 mm thin, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is both portable and powerful. It is equipped with a 14.5-inch 16:10 3K 90Hz 1000nits peak brightness PURESIGHT OLED touch screen, which supports 100% sRGB and P3 color gamut and TUV Rhein low blue light support. The FHD MIPI IR web camera means sharper visuals during video calls and is equipped with four voice ID microphones for sharper conversations. Also, thanks to Lenovo Premium Suite's premium four-speaker sound system, the audio sounds lifelike. The Premium Suite keyboard has 1.5mm key travel.

Optimized for enterprise software applications

Through a long-term tripartite partnership, Lenovo, Qualcomm, and Microsoft have selected more than 100 enterprise software applications from independent software vendors (ISVs) that are optimized for native functionality on Windows powered by Snapdragon. With a forward-looking approach, we focus on mission-critical areas such as device management, collaboration, productivity, and chip-to-cloud security, and use the cooperation of top commercial value-added software companies in artificial intelligence (such as DynamoAI) to improve efficiency and protect technology.

In the age of artificial intelligence, continuous protection of an organization's equipment, data, and privacy is critical. ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 helps manage and minimize risk at every endpoint through powerful ThinkShield security features and solutions that prioritize protection without compromising efficiency.
