Watch as we go hands on with the two newest IdeaPad laptops, which feature OLED, Ryzen, and more.
Lenovo today announced two IdeaPad laptops, the IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon and the IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro, which offer maximum portability and pro-level power, respectively. The Slim 7 Carbon joins the new wave of OLED display laptops as a super-portable 14-inch machine, while the 16-inch Slim 7 Pro comes with high-end features for pros and creatives. Check out our hands on and rundown of the devices’ top features in the video below, and read on for more details about what each one brings to the table. IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon: Beautiful Portability The OLED revolution is well underway, with the gorgeous screen technology making its way into more mainstream laptops like Lenovo’s latest. The Carbon’s display is not only OLED, but QHD+ (in this case 2,880-by-1,800 resolution) with a 90Hz refresh rate. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon On top of the shiny screen, the Carbon weighs just 2.37 pounds, putting it firmly in ultraportable territory. That’s lighter than some favorites, like the Dell XPS 13 (which also now comes in an OLED variant), but within the same ballpark. You may notice that the Carbon brand name is usually reserved for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon line, one of our favorites, but its penchant for portability is being lent to the IdeaPad family here. Otherwise, the design is a fairly traditional laptop form factor, but these are nice, modern features for the IdeaPad line.
