Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (Slim Pro 7) Gen 8 Review - (AMD 7735HS, RTX3050, 14.5" 3K IPS)

A review of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (Slim Pro 7) Gen 8 laptop. (AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, 16GB LPDDR5x-6400, 1TB PCIe Gen4 NMVe M.2 2280 SSD, AMD Radeon 680M iGPU, 14.5" 3K IPS)

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14 Gen 8 has been out for ten months now but I couldn't help myself by picking one up recently on offer for £525 or $662 before taxes. With juicy specs including a vibrant 14.5” 3K 100% DCI-P3 display, meaty AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor and a handy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 dedicated GPU, is a content creator's dream ultrabook in early 2024?
