Considering the specifications, the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon is priced attractively. Some users will be dismayed that there's no 1TB storage option and I certainly empathise with that. However, with so much of our content residing in the cloud these days, it shouldn't be an issue for most users.
Lenovo claims this is the world's lightest 14-inch OLED notebook. Thanks to a chassis made from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy and carbon fibre, the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon weighs just a smidge over a kilogram - 1.077kg, to be exact. That's over 300g less than the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED. Lenovo also says it meets the MIL-STD-810H standards of durability so it's no fairy. The Yoga Slim 7 Carbon also lives up to its name of ing slim, measuring just 14.9mm thick.
