Lenovo Announces Five New Yoga Notebooks
Lenovo unveiled five new Yoga consumer laptops combining style, power and portability. Designed to deliver premium experiences and refined craftsmanship through bold innovation, Lenovo Yoga is our top-of-the-line consumer PC sub-brand at the forefront of making smarter technology an everyday reality for the most discerning consumers. So, whether you want to binge videos, enjoy the summer's hottest tunes, or need a fully-equipped multimedia experience as you create content, you can do it all and more with powerful Windows 10 performance and a range of smart features including Alexa, optimized battery life, rapid charging, and super-fast Wi-Fi 6.
Building on successful thin and light laptops to create a better interconnected world takes attention to design details and offering consumers their choice of the latest processors. The ultra-slim Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i5 (13-inch), next-gen Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro (14-inch), and new portable 2-in-1 Lenovo Yoga 7i5 laptop available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch, feature the next-gen Intel Core processors (coming soon) and are designed for people who want high performance, immersive visuals, great connectivity, and long-lasting battery life so they don't have to feel anchored to an outlet. The 14-inch sleek Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro is packed with performance too, as is our first-gen Lenovo Yoga 6 (13.3-inch) convertible laptop—both offering AMD Ryzen 4000 Series Mobile Processor options for amazing responsiveness to fuel creative and productivity tasks, even on-the-go.
Serving up Smarter: AI-powered Intelligent Cooling, Lenovo Vantage Smart Performance and Lenovo Premium Care
Introducing the latest artificial intelligence (AI) advancements in battery optimization and intelligent thermals,6 featured first on the Yoga Slim 7i Pro with next-gen Intel processor. With this upgraded power management solution that's fully AI-powered, you won't have to lift a finger to get top performance out of your new Yoga Slim 7i Pro. That's because it's continually learning and can automatically ramp up for really high-powered activities or quiet down to conserve energy.
The other four new Yoga laptops have Intelligent Cooling Mode as their default AI-enhanced optimization setting to extend battery life and boost performance; all models powered by next-gen Intel Core processors have been engineered to extend laptop battery life by a reported average of up to 20 percent.7 With Lenovo Q-Control, if you want to ramp up to max power, just press Fn-Q to shift into Performance Mode for heavy-duty tasks or to take it into Stealth Mode to reduce fan noise during movie night.
Another new built-in benefit for Lenovo consumer PC users is available via Lenovo Vantage, the on-device application helping you do more with your Lenovo PC. The new Lenovo Vantage Smart Performance Services is a new self-diagnostic service that takes a proactive approach to maintaining a healthy device. Capable of helping prevent potential PC issues before they occur, Lenovo Vantage Smart Performance Services aims to scan, detect and remove spyware, malware and adware, fix network and access issues, and automatically tune up the PC, resulting in better internet connectivity and all-around faster PC processes, including system start time, upload/download speeds and general application launches.
Every Lenovo customer will be able to conduct free PC scans through Lenovo Vantage Smart Performance Services, during which potential issues may be quickly identified. For any fixes needed and to gain full access to this program's on-demand and automatic features, customers can subscribe for one or up to four years once it's available in their market. To further upgrade their PC support experience, Lenovo Premium Care can be added to any of these devices, granting package holders in more than 36 geographical markets direct access to an advanced level of customer service and support when needed.
Relax, You're in Charge with Lenovo Smart Assist and Alexa
Across our premium Yoga laptop portfolio are smarter features to help you accomplish more with Alexa.1 Alexa enables hands-free functionality for users to set reminders, order takeout, play music, skip songs, or control the volume without having to turn their attention away from the document they are editing or the website they are viewing. In the coming months, you can expect even more features from Alexa to help you stay connected, enjoy your music, and control your smart home.
The ease and added security provided by Lenovo Smart Assist will also be music to your ears. Power on your PC faster by simply lifting the lid, and features like the infrared (IR) camera and Windows Hello offered on the Yoga Slim 7i, Yoga Slim 7i Pro, and Yoga Slim 7 Pro enable peace of mind with a more secure hands-free facial recognition login. Advanced display features such as Privacy Alerts are offered via attention-sensing AI software from Glance by Mirametrix to help protect your screen from shoulder-surfing neighbors, helping to ensure that your work stays private, and for even more security, your screen is built to automatically blur when you look away. All the new consumer Yoga laptops unveiled today are capable of auto-upscaling your local video content quality up to FHD 1080p through use of machine learning in Windows Media Player, known as Super Resolution.

We increased the size of our touchpad too by 33 percent for easier use. Both laptops are offered in a Light Silver or Slate Grey hue with optional glass panel display and are as thin as 14.6 mm (0.58 inches) and only 1.45 kg (3.19 lbs) light to fit nicely in your bag.

14 Comments on Lenovo Announces Five New Yoga Notebooks
EDIT: it seems that at least the second option (2.2K) could qualify as MatteScreen, but most if not all of DolbyVision enabled laptop screens that have been launched seem to be some sort of Glossy or Glassy Panels.
1) Decent screen
2) Includes AMD CPUs that do this to Intel counterpart (while being hundreds of bucks cheaper):
3) Did I mention that finally it comes with decent screen?
I'm all covered on NB front, but upgrade itch is intensifying.
Why? It's a 4800U with 16GB LPDDR4X. Lenovo make the nicest looking one but at this point it's beyond a joke because nobody is selling 4800U; The chip is a myth!
Renoir has been widely available on the market in low-end versions since late April but I've yet to see a single 4800U for sale in the UK, Belgium, Holland, and Germany.
I'm still waiting on my "February" launch to arrive in the EU with no success.
4800U you find with
Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15ARE05most other U-powered AMD-CPU Models that are available at the moment are not with Hyperthreading yet (8 Core, 16 Threads) but without like with the 4700U CPU (8 Core, 8 Threads)
this one i just checked on ebay and seller seems shipping only inside germany
www.ebay.it/itm/203043706282
besides, another seller (notebooksbilliger) gives availability with end of september; so it seems, it has been announced, but is still scarce on European Market.
The above model Ideapad 5 seems to suffering from a not so good display (altough one listing gives 300nits), but i havent bought one myself so i cant say that for sure.
On the Lenovo Website for Germany (again) also only up to the 4700u is offered, but this will likely change very soon.
www.lenovo.com/de/de/laptops/ideapad/s-series/IdeaPad-5-15ARE05/p/88IPS501393
What i noticed is that for the American market the bundled options are more readily available and +attractive (see Lenovo Website) at way more reasonable prices
(although also here in Italy sometimes good offers apply, which til now have not been taken advantage of by me | still waiting for a Pro-Laptop with a good 4:3 or 3:2 Display with matte Screen)
If the 4800U is so rare, why waste them on lower-end laptops? I have enough budget for a genuinely premium ultraportable with good specs, good screen quality, and good cooling. It's looking increasingly likely that Intel Xe models will arrive in stock before a nice 4800U model becomes available via official channels.
For me to buy it has to have:
- All-metal chassis (no plastic)
- Half-decent screen (250nits, 90%+ sRGB gamut - not the 56% sRGB junk Lenovo use in their cheaper models)
- twin fan for quiet 15W operation and usable 25W modes without throttling
- 4800U with LPDDR4X
Why is that so hard to find? :)
