Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon presents |
Lenovo has announced its new IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon laptop, which complements the range of OLED laptops launched this month.
Outside of North America, this device is called the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon. The company claims that it is the lightest laptop on the market with a 14-inch OLED screen, and it weighs 1.07 kg.
An OLED panel (from a Samsung display) uses QHD+ resolution instead of the 4K resolution often seen on laptops with OLED screens.
This means that you won't get as many pixels as you get with 4K OLED devices (like the ZenBook 14X). But you can also see a longer battery life.
The screen has an aspect ratio of 16:10, providing more vertical space than the 16:9 panel in last year's IdeaPad Slim 7.
The company said its refresh rate is 90Hz (Samsung promised that this logo will appear on more OLED laptops this year). It covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and has a brightness of 600 nits.
The IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon can be configured with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, Nvidia GeForce MX450 graphics card, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage.
The company claims to have a 61W battery that can last up to 14.5 hours. Although the computer is light, Lenovo insists on its durability.
