Lenovo Slim 7 (14-inch, 2023)

Excellent productivity performance Good entry-level gaming Competent battery life Attractive and mostly solid build Good keyboard and touchpad

Lid is a little bendable No Thunderbolt 4 Fans spin up

“The Lenovo Slim 7 14 manages to balance solid performance in a thin and light machine.”

Attractive and sturdy design ; Enjoyable keyboard with long key travel ; Two Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB-C, Power Delivery, DisplayPort ; Lots of memory, storage for the price

Display resolution is lower than the competition ; Performance lags slightly in default performance profile ; Battery life fails to impress

Lenovo’s Slim 7 14 is a competent, well-executed laptop with good performance and plenty of RAM, yet it doesn’t stand out from the crowd.
