Great review, I am needing to upgrade my work laptop. Currently I use a surface pro and was going to upgrade to a Surface laptop 5. I love how thin, light and premium the surface laptop looks. But after finding this Slim pro 7, I am having second thoughts. In addition to every day office work I do graphic design and photo editing. I am not very familiar with AMD Ryzen processors, but it seems to preform well in this laptop. I also had spec-ed out 32 GB of ram in my Surface laptop but the 16 GB here should do the job. I also was looking at the Slim Pro 9i. It has a 16" screen and very similar specs to the 7 (but the 9i has 32GB or RAM). The 9i is documented as having some thermal issues and much lower battery time however, in order to run the additional specs. Before today I was pretty sure I was getting a surface laptop 5, but now I am a little confused after finding the Slim pro 7 ( and 9i). You seem to be a big fan of this 7 model. Would you rank it above the surface laptop 5. In Canada I can get the 7 for around $1900 and the 9i for $2900, the Surface is similar at $3000. I would really appreciate your advice.

My laptop is now finally 100% quiet most of the time instead of the opposite.

I just bought it with matte screen. It is really nice model...but the fan is midly running all the time, starts in about half minute after power-up. It reminds me the sound of classic HDD. It is the same in idle doing nothing, web browsing, YT watching etc. It is only slightly increasing with mild tasks, but it does quite a lot with heavy loads (as expected). I tried to get rid of the low load fan noise: updated BIOS, drivers, limited max CPU clock down to 50%, experimented with Lenovo fan modes and Windows power/battery modes. My CPU temperature in Idle is around 38-40°C (quite low for fan to continue running IMO). Nothing helped...it looks like it is inherent to the laptop design and how Lenovo controls fan here. Looks like there is no solution. So I will probably return it. I wouldn't buy it if I knew it cannot do anything without fan being on.

It definitely needs some type of bios update. I suspect that Lenovo will put something up unfortunately until then battery life is not great. In the meantime I’d recommend going into the bios and ensuring that switchable graphics is on, you can also make sure that startup programs are limited. One thing that I typically do is I go into “gaming” settings, and you can choose which GPU your programs will run on. Unfortunately windows is not very smart and will often programs to your Nvidia GP I often have to do this for my browsers that will refuse to use integrated graphics regardless of the laptop. The browser gaming mode switch might help a lot

When I saw this laptop in person it felt cheaply built in my opinion. The keyboard seemed to have too much flex, the trackpad has a hollow/cheap sounding click, and the screen slightly wobbly (albeit this may be bc it was a display unit). When I think of amazing build quality I think of the lenovo yoga 920-13ikb which is my current laptop. Quite old now but still holding up as if it were day one. Was hoping this laptop could replace my 920 but I think I may have to keep looking. Amazing review nonetheless, thank you for the information!
