However, we need to improve. In future, if there is a noticeably better config, we will buy it ourselves to include in the review. 3) During the making of this video Lenovo dropped their pricing on the Zen 4 model by close to $400. As mentioned we reshot the conclusion to factor that in. All manufacturers can drop their pricing significantly and it would make their products more competitive. We need to compare this product to other products that are in the full price range, which in this case is $1k to $1.5K USD. In that price range, for many viewers there are better products. 4) Lenovo offers a 4000 series graphics version of this laptop internationally. Yes, that would make this laptop significantly more competitive. 5) The Macbook Pro 14 was included as a comparison in this video in the speakers section. That may seem like a more expensive laptop. However, you can buy the older Macbook Pro 14 M1 significantly discounted to a similar price point as this laptop, and it has the same speakers. We are reading your comments, we are listening, and we love improving.

On the one hand, although shocking, I see the context of the review and I believe the essence of this machine has been tied together nicely towards the end of the video. Great professional integrity and due diligence as always. Kudos to you and your team for the fantastic effort! On the other hand, in my humble opinion, not reviewing the 'RIGHT configuration' is a big missed opportunity! There are over a dozen reviews of the Zen 3 model but absolutely zero reviews of the Zen 4 model, particularly in North America. The Zen 3 model came out in H1 2023 and the Zen 4 model came out less than 10 weeks ago in the USA. I'd wager that Zen 3 model likely exists due to AMD's supply chain woes. All things considered, it'd be great if you can bless us with a comparison between the Zen 3 and Zen 4 models. Heck! given the similarities in everything else, it'll also be the perfect opportunity to perhaps do a 7735HS vs 7840HS video. Outside the purview of this specific laptop, I'd like to bring to your attention the following as I'd like someone of your caliber to call out Lenovo at some point if what I'm saying makes sense: - There is a drastic lack of customization options for this laptop even with 7840HS in the USA compared to everywhere else ranging from impactful features such as 4050 dGPU option, 3K screen, RAM flexibility etc all the way down to tidal teal colour options. -More importantly, Lenovo has taken a bunch of really capable 7840U laptops and smacked shoddy 45%NTSC panels on them. This is the case for most non-gaming laptops affecting several Yoga 7 as well as Thinkpad models of 2023, rendering them unbuyable. In this fashion, Slim Pro 7 is lucky to have the 100%SRGB panel although it's a downgrade by every other metric. -The Yoga Slim 7 (the perfect laptop for the most regular users) is available anywhere in the world except in North America

@@JustJoshTechThank you for your reply. I'm excited to watch it when that review comes out. You'll be the first of the A-listers to review it and I'm confident it'll be fantastic. I bought the Zen 4 model for under $900 and I'd not recommend anyone buying any Lenovo Laptop at MSRP. As for Lenovo sending out Zen 3 machines only, it's very odd to say the least. They're holding off Zen 4 Slim Pro 7 while sending out Slim 7 out to American reviewers although the model isn't available here. Heck, they did not even notify M Moniz that the model will not be made available in the USA. Not sure why Lenovo appears to be severely underplaying their 2023 non-gaming AMD machines in North America.

Honestly , a lot of these cons can be avoided if you just spec the laptop right. I personally bought this laptop with 7840HS, 3k display %100 DCI-p3 400 nits, rtx-3050 6gb (I don't need very high graphical power for the purpose of this laptop). I'm not sure if the speakers will be different but it seems like the reviewed laptop is an older version rather than the refreshed new one. The 7735hs was sold as a seperate different laptop rather than a differently specd one for me so maybe the speakers are also different. However, looking at the prices in the comment section makes me jealous, I had to buy it at 1350 euros, but any other alternative mentioned is close to 1.6k - 2k in the Netherlands and similarily priced laptops aren't nearly as good in terms of screen, build and processor with a dedicated GPU. Not a bad review, but I don't think the critique is that justified considering it isn't the 2023 refresh laptop people were asking for and it's probably an older version.

Thnx for listening to feedback and reviewing this laptop. While I would prefer if you reviewed the 7840HS + 32GB variant, as you correctly mentioned, it still comes with the mediocre screen and speakers.

I would as so many others be way more interested in the 7840HS version, especially one with the 4050 rtx. As a student I found it here in Germany for 1128 € and to me it seems like a standalone in this price range. And the Display in said model is a 3K, 400 nits, 120 Hz Panel, which also sounds way better then the one you reviewed. To me it seems to kind of solve all the problems you mentioned with your version… all that at a lower price point! As an engineering student I need a portable laptop with dedicated graphics for under 1200 € and I really couldn’t find anything else. So please think about making a follow up video where you review the 7840HS version with the 4050.

I really respect Josh (I am a subscriber after all) so I’m sure he had a good reason but my view is: *the tidal teal colour looks nice (he commented on the appearance of the grey one being unspectacular) *Lenovo were offering cheap upgrades to 32GB *zen 4 version is likely better at a lot of the metrics (even if only a little) *integrated graphics on 7840HS is good enough for most and comes with non-touch. Both of these up the battery life vs what he tested My (non-professional) verdict is, he’s right that the ‘Pro’ marketing is pushing it but if you don’t need discrete graphics, you can get a lighter, longer lasting and cheaper laptop that is for all-rounders. Especially students who can get 15% off directly with Lenovo.

I just bought this machine and I am very impressed with it after years of disappointment from other manufacturers and some thinkpads. However, after opening it up I realized the display hinge is screwed into a plastic part of the upper case. This plastic part is molded into the metal frame and is non repairable. If that plastic breaks (which it likely will after some time) it would be a very expensive repair if you can even find the palmrest part of the chassis for sale. Also, there is no rubber gasket or buffer to prevent the glass display from touching the metal when closed. This could be the Surface laptop 3 all over again with cracked displays. Stupid design choices ruin an otherwise excellent machine.

If anyone is wondering about benchmarks for the 7840hs variant, I own one, and have done the tests. Geekbench single core is 2,402, multi core score is 11,654. Cinebench r23 single core is 1,691, multi core score is 15,075. Both tests were done on extreme performance mode while plugged, not overclocked. As for the fan noise while running games, I found that on extreme performance mode it is around 48dB, and on intelligent cooling it is around 42dB. the bottom of the laptop still gets very hot, but the cpu and gpu are effectively cooled and don’t thermal throttle. There are still some things which are pretty bad, like the speakers, camera, and hinge, but for me personally, at only $1200 CAD, I think this is a pretty great deal, and I have been enjoying using this laptop so far.

The 7735HS CPU (Ideapad pro 5 16") was the only one available from Lenovo in my region (Australia). It's nice to see that the Zen 4 7840U/HS has a nice generational uplift especially on that Framework 13. That said these 7735HS and 3050Ti combos are definitely getting creamed by the newest and latest from AMD, Intel and Apple, but because of that you tend to find them at relatively aggressive discounts. Hopefully all of these Zen 3 models sell out so Lenovo starts selling the much more efficient and performant Zen 4 models, optionally paired with Nvidia 40XX gpus. Your findings with the screen brightness matched closely with my experience. I thought 350nits would be enough but in a semi-cloudy Australian day its basically impossibe to read even indoors. 400nits+ at the bare minimum for any productivity laptop. Thankfully my workflow doesn't use the trackpad or speakers very often so those are non-issues for me, but they should really just spend the tiny bit more and greatly improve the user experience.

Our reviews are very intensive and take around 2 weeks to make. The 7840HS version was sold for ~$1,450 for the vast majority of that time. In fact the ending was re-recorded yesterday for the conclusion to take into account the updated updated sales price. Plus AMD and Lenovo probably shouldn't be selling last years Tech badged as though it is a current product, I don't think that is something to be angry at the reviewer for. The 7840HS would NOT solve everything for this laptop. You still have a dim screen. You still have poor speakers. You still have a bad webcam, and if you are in the USA, you still have very low end dedicated graphics. Furthermore, all manufacturers could drop their prices for such a huge amount, and their products would immediately become better. We have to review the laptops in the price range they are meant to be sold at. As I said in the conclusion, if you can find it with the 7840HS version for around $1k like right now on sale its a decent laptop to buy, but when you have all the laptops around this price range, like we do, it doesn't stand out.

I use it for Architectural work, BIM Modeling and 3D rendering for the most part) The CPU is okay, I experience slight sluggish behaviour here and there but it’s fine. The GPU is okay for small to medium size project rendering without raytracing but as soon as I turn that on in software like Twinmotion, it starts to struggle but it’s something one can get used to and produce some good things with some patience. I’m not sure how this would translate to for other professions or gaming but I bet one would consider this average or at best slightly above average. I bought it for about £800 so at that price I;m okay with it. The screen is good enough and I don’t have too much of an issue with colour accuracy or screen brightness. It’s good enough for most people I would say. The keyboard is good and build quality, though not the best is decent. I’d say the laptop scores well enough for its quality of life features but can’t compete with higher end machines. So, serviceable. So far so good, BUT what I cannot live with is the POOR battery life. For the use case I’ve stated above, one just can’t get enough battery life out of this thing. I’m predominantly in my CAD software working on middle size Architectural projects, which yes, require some power but aren’t as demanding as rendering. I’d typically set the screen brightness to 50%, set the refresh rate to 60Hz, at times even reduce the resolution to 1200p and enable battery saver mode and till achieve just 3.5hrs of use at best. If the resolution is at its highest, screen brightness (Which isn’t that hight btw) is at max and the refresh rate set to dynamic, 2hrs at max. This isn’t an issue I’m facing alone and my partner and I have same exact laptop and the experience is the same. The battery life is a deal breaker and if you decide to make the same purchase, expect to have this thing plugged in most of the time. You have been warned. I’m not even confident that Lenovo will have resolved this issue with their updated laptop. Extremely poor battery life.

You bought the exact same version in the vid? Cause I just bought a newer version GEN 9 for £680.99 with a AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS Processor 16 GB LPDDR5X-6400MHz 14.5" 3K (3072 x 1920), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 100%DCI-P3, 400 nits, 120Hz and Integrated AMD Radeon™ 780M GPU. I think those are pretty decent specs for the price. It is heavily discounted right now on the lenovo website. The only thing I could complain about is the 16GB ram and the GPU not being an nvidia 3000 series but it will do. I look forward to receiving it in a few days

The things is, I need a dedicated RTX/RX graphics card (Doesn't have to be the latest or the most powerful, just powerful enough, a premiumish build and portable form factor at around the $1000 mark. This automatically eliminated the macbooks, The G14 isn't too bad, but cannot be found at that price. The Zenbook pro 14x looks like the more compelling option, but in the UK, Asus has no variant (that has a graphics card) with a core i7, just the i9 thus driving the cost up. I genuinely still cant find a better deal on paper at this price, for me other than the lenovo.

I got this laptop with the 7840HS from Lenovo directly for 900 dollars after all sales, coupons, and discounts applied. Even with everything you said, it is an absolute STEAL for such a bargain. Similarly priced slim and lightweight laptops are not nearly as good as a powerhouse as the slim pro 7. The 7840HS is a much better comparison and deal compared to the best buy model. Not to mention looks and feels leagues more premium and professional than the gaming focused laptops. This is not a gaming laptop, it is a hybrid laptop, and it plays that role very well.

I‘m a bit confused and at the same time find this review to be a bit harsh or even unfair. Here in Europe this is - in my opinion - by far the best deal at the moment with the 7840 CPU and the 780 iGPU (I don’t need a dedicated graphics card). You get 32 GB of RAM! Price is around 1100€ including VAT. There is NO competition in this price range. Except you want to go with cheap Acer crap or have an even worse display in the HP Elitebook. But I wonder why you find the touch pad so bad … had the old slim 7 pro X for 1 month and the touch pad was phenomenal. And maybe the 90Hz screen is a plus for some people because it doesn’t drain the battery so quick(?)

Hi Patrick, let me give you a little color. This channel is not a laptop review channel. It is a channel to help your dollars go as far as possible. Find you the best device for the money you have. That means , in most of our videos, we heavily weight where the laptop is priced. While this video was created the price of this laptop was about 35% more than what it is today. This put the laptop more in a higher price category, with tougher competition. Around the day we launched the video Lenovo massively dropped the price. This meant it was now targeting a different set of people, and yes, is more competitive. That being said, it is absolutely not a Pro laptop, and for use cases like yours I would strongly recommend checking out the Zenbook 14X. It has a better keyboard, better screen, and costs less. There are benefits of this over that, but I would check both. Josh

This video disappointed me after the good 14" laptop comparison video you made. You put in the video Lenovo's own website selling this laptop with the improved 7840HS CPU and more importantly with a lower price, but you decided to review the more pricy option with a lower CPU? You think we are going to choose this and not the better option? i don't get it. Also how can you say 3:26 "if you do get the Zen 4 version of this laptop the 7840HS I wouldn't expect things to be all butterflies and rainbows" without even having used it? And then proceed to compare it with the G14 Ryzen 9 7940HS with better cooling that obviously is going to perform better but is also way more pricy...

I simply need it to do multiple things just good enough (i'm on a 6th gen intel so maybe there is some bias when i say "just good enough") specially if the 7840 version can be found below $1000. But damnnn seriously after seeing the cooling on the G14, i really wish Lenovo put in effort on quality on the cooling and upgradability part, 16GB just doesn't seem future proof for the next 4-5 years Overall really awesome and informative video as always The only thing that can change my mind now is if the Pro 9i is at around ~$1300-1400 on sales

Just to add my two cents: I think it's okay to review the model with the worse CPU, it's actually good to have that kind of review available, but I think really ragging on it as if it's purely the laptop's fault is a bit unwarranted, as it's AMD who really screwed up and the processor shouldn't have even existed as a 2023 part. It should have just stayed the 6800HS or whatever. Not really Lenovo's fault the way I see it. The rest of the video is still very valid, obviously.

@@barmolej For the price I paid I think it's very good. Considering I got it with almost 40% discount I think the configuration is very balanced. The processor is of the 7000 series but the performance are more similar with the old 6800hs. It is still an 8 core-16 thread, so quite fast in my opinion. For the RAM I would have preferred 32 gigs honestly. But again, 16 are still pretty fine. 1 TB hard drive very good. The graphic card can play most of the game at 1080p with good details ad good frame rate, so it's a big plus. The 3k screen is what I was looking for the most. I have to say the 120hz is more a gimmick and not a killer feature. The screen picrture quality is very good. I would have preferred a glossy panel just because it has a bit more clarity. The color are very saturated and punchy with contrast. I think it's a bit too much so I will calibrate (usually I found most of the screen too dark). I am not so sure about the 3k because of the scaling factor, usually it's better to choose panel with multiple of 2 like 1080p, 2k,4k etc.. just becuase they will scale better with windows. So, the screen is nice, great picture quality, and at 400nits very bright. But for the same price I think a glossy oled would outperform it. Last build quality: rock solid. All metal, thin bezel with high screen size yo body ratio. It looks like an apple product. Keyboard is fantastic.

Hey Josh, the right hinge on my 2 year old IdeaPad Pro 5 16 just tore the plastic frame inside the screen apart while opening the laptop screen normally. I've always been very secure with my laptop. I've been researching this issue, and it seems that all IdeaPad and Yoga and some Legion laptops from Lenovo with a two hinge design suffer from this, with literally hundreds of people online experiencing this problem. Unfortunately, with the majority of these cases Lenovo does not even provide warranty! I don't know if you're aware of this, but please know if you recommend a laptop from them that it'll most likely only last for 2 years, while for many this occurs even faster.

Thick laptops are cheaper, but I want a thin laptop with good battery and these are the only options) G14 has much more control over power limits, fans, battery, mux switch, and a better display, but it has those "gaming" looks which I don't like much. I don't need super high performance, they both have 3yr warranty, 120hz, and can do casual gaming which is enough for me. Which one should I pick?

this seems so desperate to prove you were right by not including this laptop in the best 14 inch list. Besides reviewing the version with last year’s processor, many of your comments seem to simply disregard any positive by saying “it’s ok, but.” You spend more than half of the video trashing the laptop based on performance and yet you chose to review the worst version. You recommend the framework as an alternative, but the speakers of the framework are probably worse than this one. I was interested to see you talk more about the build quality and how it compares to the others, but you didn’t approach that in depth. Overall I was disappointed with this review.

Meanwhile, the AMD Radeon 780M iGPU absolutely destroys the Intel Iris Xe iGPU in modern Intel laptops and even puts up a good fight against pre Nvidia RTX GPUs like the GTX 1650 Ti. And battery life is generally better on AMD Ryzen CPUs, as is performance per watt, which means less cooling needed, as seen with the Framework Laptop 13 2023 models. I hope Meteor Lake (14th gen for laptops) seriously focuses on efficiency and the iGPU, because otherwise the Intel PC market is going to collapse because they aren't competitive to AMD at the high end.

This sort of thing is where Lenovo screws themselves with their "always on sale" strategy, at least for review purposes. At $1200 this thing is a rip, but as even your video shows, you can get the Zen 4 model for $1050 right now and I'm sure they'll both be even cheaper soon. It isn't a bad device, just a bad price at MSRP. I think I'd be pretty happy with the Zen 4 model for around $1000. A dedicated GPU in a device that doesn't look like a spaceship is rare in that price range and at least it has a 1600p 90hz display and 16GB of RAM.

I understand what you are trying to say about graphics, but you called a 71% performance increase (780m to 3050) a “modest step up” right after you called a 21-68% performance increase (3050 to 4050) a “big step up”. (Pulled these numbers from the two time spy graphs you showed). I don’t disagree that that the 3050 is definitely low end. Just found it very odd when you showed graphs which contradicted your statements. Also, the 7735HS comes with 680m graphics which is extremely close to the 780m. And the integrated intel graphics on the 9i is slower than both of these. So the G14 is really the only laptop that beats it in graphics and that is $400 more. And the 9i is also around $400 more. Of course this is ignoring sales, which happen often. Yes I do agree that the pro 7 is very much in that “master of none” category where it attempts to do it all but isn’t the best at anything, but a lot of people are looking for that when purchasing a laptop. They want something that’s all around. The G14 is too much of gaming focused laptop and it has always had Asus QA/QC issues in the past (Asus seems to be improving on this). While the 9i is too much of a business first laptop that can’t run anywhere close to the 3050 graphics, and actually still loses to the old Radeon 680m integrated graphics. And a Mac is, well, a Mac. And if you want one in this price class you are going to have to deal with only 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, in exchange for insane battery life and build quality. For students, I am currently trying to pick out a laptop for my little brother for college and I can see the appeal of the the pro 7 more so than the G14 and 9i. Especially on a tight budget. And also especially if you are trying to convince your parents to buy one of these for your schoolwork. Btw, the slim pro 9 you link in the description is the 16 inch version at $2149. I am guessing that’s a mistake.

As a slim pro 7 user, I'm really sad you took so long to review it🙃 (ofc no blaming, just sad). Top noch content as always Josh, I'm still happy with the laptop, but I do notice the cpu falls short several times.

Thanks, I appreciate the support. Its not a bad laptop, and for certain users it is likely very good (if bought at the right price).

The new version 2024 with intel 155h seems to have a better 3k display with 400 nits. Dont now if there are other changes.

What about if it was 930$ with 7840HS, 32GB RAM and AMD Radeon 780M? Would you recommend it for that money?

The base model is now $899. Would you say it's worth money now?

What? that is insane! A laptop with soldered-in SSD and or RAM is outdated ex-works

There's no sense using the model with the older CPU architecture, when the newer(7840hs) is available!

Not a big fan of this review. I picked this laptop up for $863. All of the competitors mentioned are way more expensive.

It was an unpopular review. So much so we reviewed the device a second time to be sure. Just for you guys. But keep in mind prices change. You probably bought it at a great price making it more worthwhile

Hi Josh, I already posted the same comment on your last video, but I will copy paste it here, because I this video is fresh and I don't know if you'll consider my comment on your last one, plus I am in a hurry so I can't write a whole new comment. Here it goes: Josh, your videos are awsome, and it is for that reason I have a recommendation (and a respectful request) that you checkout Linux laptops. I am 99% sure you already have done this before, but I feel like you only did one or two videos (and brands), so I would like to respectfully request that Linux laptops always be in your eyes from now on, as I feel there are some great ones out there that more people need to know about. I think your channel is perfect for this as you don't just focus on the mainstream well known laptops, rather you review more. Also, if you choose to review Linux laptop, maybe make a full comparison with great Windows laptops. Most importantly, I would like to recommend Tuxedo laptops, specifically their InfinityBook Pro lineup. Thank you and have a great day :)

Thank you for your reommendation. Right now we are trying to be laser focussed on helping the bulk of the population with buying decisions. A video which likely makes sense is Linux Laptops vs Windows ones, but it would have to be next year. Its not on the cards for us for this year. Sorry :(
