Lenovo has launched its latest thin and light laptop in the Yoga series, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon. The laptop weighs just 966 grams and comes with quad-core 11th-gen Intel Tigerlake processors.
Design is one of the most compelling features of the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon. It comes with the company’s proprietary fiber material that reduces material weight up to 40 percent while offering a 25% higher rigidity. Lenovo has used magnesium alloy in the palm rest and bottom covers for better durability. Speaking of durability, the laptop passes nine MIL-STD-810G military-grade standard tests.
