Anecdotally, the system felt peppy during general Windows use, ably handling multitasking and operating in silence under all but the heaviest loads. As you’ll see, the Ryzen 7 5800U helped the Slim 7 Carbon turn in strong showings on our application and multimedia benchmarks, but its 3D graphics performance was predictably lackluster, and its battery life was below average. The Ryzen 7 5800U has eight physical cores and 16 processing threads and is an efficient, 15-watt chip. Our IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon features an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, 16GB of RAM, integrated Radeon graphics, and a 512GB SSD.

In fact, 2.8K is in the Goldilocks Zone, offering a clearly sharper picture than a Full HD display without the sacrifice to battery life a 4K display forces you to make. It’s not a 4K display, but what Lenovo calls a 2.8K display is more than enough on a 14-inch panel. It features a higher resolution of 2880×1800 that results in a dazzlingly crisp image. On top of its OLED and HDR goodness, the display’s resolution makes it superior to the standard 14-inch Full HD laptop display. With its stellar contrast and color accuracy and impressive brightness, the Slim 7 Carbon is fit for creative professionals in addition to home users. The display is also incredibly bright, making the Slim 7 Carbon a candidate for work in the field under direct sunlight. With VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black and Dolby Vision HDR support, the contrast is outstanding, with the deepest blacks and brightest whites, and colors are accurate and noticeably vibrant. The star of the Slim 7 Carbon show is its 14-inch OLED touch display. IDG / Matthew Elliott Oh, the OLED display! That’s lighter than most 13-inch models, and the IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon has a 14-inch display. The laptop is only 0.6 inches thick and weighs a mere 2.4 pounds. The enclosure is made from a carbon fiber-reinforced magnesium alloy that allows the laptop to be incredibly thin and light. It trades the traditional matte black of the company’s ThinkPads for an all-silver chassis. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon is thin and sleek, even for ultraportable standards. Measured weight: 2.4 pounds (laptop), 0.7 pounds (AC adapter).Connectivity: USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, 2 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, headphone / mic combo.Read on for a more detailed look at the innards. Our review unit features an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor, AMD Radeon graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of PCIe NVMe storage. Let’s take a look under the hood of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon we reviewed, currently discounted at Newegg for $979.99. With one of the best displays you’ll find on a laptop that costs less than $1,000, the IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon represents a great value for home users. OLED displays were just recently the domain of high-priced laptops built for creative pros or C-suite executives, but we’re seeing more of them among general-purpose laptops at appealing prices. It also features what Lenovo dubs a 2.8K (that is, 2880 x 1800) resolution for a razor-sharp picture. Helping to offset the so-so keyboard is the display, which is an OLED panel that delivers incredible contrast and vibrant colors. It boasts a strong multimedia performance and punchy audio, although its keyboard can’t match the excellence you get with a ThinkPad. It shares many of the same qualities as the X1 Carbon, but at a lower cost.
If you’ve been pining for the pricey X1 Carbon but can’t fit it into your budget, then I’d recommend turning your attention to the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon. I was impressed by its sleek chassis, roomy 14-inch display, and comfortable keyboard. Near the end of last year, I reviewed Lenovo’s flagship business ultraportable, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
