The Yoga Slim 7i (middle laptop pictured) is my ideal laptop; No nonsense, all-alloy, all-day-battery, sub 3lbs ultraportable that can do anything adequately.

I currently have the 2700U predecessor (Ideapad 530S-14ARR) and I've been waiting since February for the Renoir-powered 4800U with 16GB LPDDR4X. If Lenovo can bring the intel variant to market before the AMD one, then times are indeed dire. I'm going to be buying whichever one is available first because honestly, the only thing that my 2700U lacks is graphics performance and if Intel's Xe is up to the job they'll get my money.

Quite expensive for something that's not even a Thinkpad.
edit: I only saw the 9i
