First post, please be nice.
Looks like an all time low for this price on a non-education store, getting a 3 year warranty bumps the price to over $3000 though…
Seems to be the best value for a core ultra series 2/lunar lake laptop

16% cashback today for Lenovo too.
What’s the difference between LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X? Cuz 8533MHz is a bit crazy to me… although not sure about the latency
Since the RAM is on package on these CPUs the frequency can be a lot higher since the traces are shorter and signal integrity is higher. Memory performance would be quite good, however this probably doesn't have a huge impact to 'normal' tasks.
Seems recent laptop releases are going to this smaller new screen size of 15.3"? So 16" too big & 14" too small?
No. This is just lenovo trying to match apple for some reason. Same as the ideapads and whatnot.
Market trend is still hitting 16' and so do most panel makers, 15.3' is just a weird size as 16' nowadays is just 15.6' of before with no bottom bezel.
Need a 2-in1, Ryzen 7 processor, 13-14" Screen - any deals on these under a $1k mark?
Does anyone have this laptop to comment on build quality, display, software/drivers ? I really want the X1 Gen 13 with 258V and a non glossy matte display as it is 14" and <1kg but it is 3.8K (on discounts too,l might as well get a macbook at this point). Looking up some youtube videos, it seems people comment on the glare from the glossy display too.
I'd rather take 83HNCTO1WW model for $1841 from the EDU store. In fact already ordered.
Why? More use for multi-threaded apps?
ooo thanks.
Looks like the integrated graphics might be slightly better in the Aura. Does that just factor into what one's use case is?
Chiming in because I have been testing 258V laptops lately vs the Ryzen 9 AI CPUs. I think it is worth noting that performance can be quite device specific, depending what power profiles and cooling the manufacturer uses.
I haven't actually benchmarked either of these specific Lenovo models but other benchmarks I have done put the 258V mildly ahead in single core performance, and noticeably behind in multicore performance compared to the Ryzen 365 or 370. The cpubenchmark page you linked reflects this too.
AMD is definitely a better choice if you have a lot of heavy workloads – EG video editing. The downside is the Ryzens are generally hotter (and the laptops noisier) at medium level workloads.
The Yoga Pro 7 is a very nice laptop though and that's a great price.
Personally, I think I'd still favour the Yoga Slim 7i Aura ($1,932.40 on the Edu store) for the slightly larger form factor, fold flat touchscreen, (potentially) quieter / cooler operation and longer battery life. But it all depends on use case.
any tips for getting access to the EDU store prices?..
Yeah seems this 258V igpu 140V is catching up AMD pretty well, quite surprise with it's gaming performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWati8uuyG4Anyone know if this is ips or oled? There is an Amazon Australia listing of this that says it is oled: https://amzn.asia/d/6UYA7AH
OLED
Everything I've seen bar this Amazon title is IPS.
Lenovo PSREF says IPS.
Amazon specs are very often incorrect. EG, it also says it's the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14.5-inch.
Thank you @Prong, but also I'm disappointed - I really want this laptop with an OLED and thought this was an alternate model that would suit me.
Yeah, nah.
