You'll still get up to an Intel Core ultra X9 with up to 12 Xe graphics cores and 9600 MHz RAM, as well as a new matte texture that Lenovo says will reduce fingerprints. This system will start at $1,499.99 in Q2.
Lenovo also has Yogas with AMD and Qualcomm processors. The latest AMD Ryzen AI 400 chips will power the Yoga Slim 7a, while the Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Plus will come to the Yoga Slim 7x. These are both 14-inch devices with 2880 x 1800 touch screens, designed for mobility and power efficiency. The Slim 7x will start at $949.99 in Q2, while the 7a is only being sold in select markets.

bit_user I toyed with the idea of getting a Thinkpad with Snapdragon X, a couple months ago. However, Linux support still seems too rough. So, I decided I didn't want to risk losing that much money on some hardware I couldn't use how I wanted. Instead, I went for a $300 bargain bin special and it's working okay , so far (but not great). If I did spend any real money on a laptop, that I wanted to actually use like a laptop, then I'd really want to go for the proper Thinkpad version of the pointing device, with physical buttons! Reply
timecop1818 Hmm too bad, not a single model with 4K screen anymore. I bought the yoga aura edition last year with 3840×2400 and it got discontinued a week later lol. screw all these stupid 16:9 1800p oled junks. 4K or gtfo Reply

About 20 years ago, I got a machine with a 15.4" screen and 1920×1200 resolution. Possibly one of the first machines with such a screen! That was perfect . All the DPI that I really need. Except, these days I prefer my laptops to be in the 13" to 14" range. The 15" models are generally bigger and heavier than I like to lug around. Reply
