The IdeaPad Slim 5i is being offered in 14-inch and 15.6-inch sizes, both featuring IPS panels with FHD (1920×1080 pixels) resolution with 300nits of brightness and 45% NTSC coverage. While the series is listed to offer Core i7 processor options, we were only able to find the larger 15.6-inch variant with the Core i5-1135G7 on Amazon India as well as Lenovo’s official website. Hopefully, more SKUs will be added at a later stage. Both the models will be offered with 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM (upgradable to 16GB) and a dual-storage option of 256GB PCIe SSD and 1TB HDD. The laptop also features optional NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint scanner, a 720p HD camera with PrivacyShutter, dual 2W speakers with Dolby Audio, and a 57Whr battery that is said to last up to 11 hours.

Next is the Yoga 7i which is a premium 2-in-1 notebook featuring a 360-degree hinge and a slim design. It’s a fairly portable machine that also offers support for an option stylus pen that is sold separately. Like the IdeaPad Slim 5i, this one will also be available in a 15.6-inch or a 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS touchscreen display with 300-nits of brightness. Notably, the 15.6-inch model is also available with an HDR 400, 500 nits, Dolby Vision option, although at this point, there is no confirmation if it will be sold in India.

The notebook will be available with up to an Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics. Lenovo is offering up to 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory and up to 1TB of M.2 PCIe SSD storage. Other important features include a 71Whr battery that is said to last up to 16-hours, front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 1-megapixel webcam with Lenovo’s PrivacyShutter, fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 and Rapid Charge Express for fast battery charging.

The most premium option is the Yoga 9i features a 14-inch IPS display option with either 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution that comes with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, 500-nits brightness, and  90% DCI-P3 or the FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution option that features 100% SRGB coverage and 400-nits brightness. The Yoga 9i is based on the Intel EVO platform that assures high-quality design and features along with a long-lasting battery and fast connectivity. The 2-in-1 notebook has been made using aerospace-grade metal and has been tested to withstand everyday wear and tear under several conditions, including UV light exposure and tension. It comes with a unique rotating soundbar built-into the hinge with support for Dolby Atmos. The notebook will be available with up to an 11th-gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor, 16GB of LPDDR4X 3200MHz RAM, and 1TB PCIe SSD. This model also comes with a 1-megapixel webcam with Lenovo’s PrivacyShutter, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and Rapid Charge Express for fast battery charging. The battery is rated at 60Whr, and comes with a bundled stylus pen and Thunderbolt 4.0 connectivity.
