Lenovo doesn’t make many changes when it comes to the AMD and Intel versions of its Yoga Slim 7. Apart from the Thunderbolt 3 port in the Intel Yoga, both the case and the connectivity are identical. The Chinese manufacturer installs an additional dedicated GPU from Nvidia so as to provide a somewhat better graphics performance. This offers a slight advantage, especially when playing games, but also leads to increased emissions. The fan speed increases very quickly under load and gets comparatively loud as well. In addition, the surface temperatures are higher than on the AMD model.
The CPU performance is not bad for a quad-core processor, but AMD is very clearly ahead with its current Ryzen processors, especially if you can make use of the additional computing cores. Other advantages are the lower temperatures and the quieter fan noise.
With the Intel/Nvidia combination, the Yoga Slim 7 14 has an advantage when it comes to gaming performance, but overall, the AMD model is the much better all-rounder.
The Yoga Slim 7 with the Ryzen 7 4800U made a good impression on us in the test, but the model with this processor is currently very difficult to get due to supply bottlenecks. Alternatively, the Slim 7 14 is also available with the somewhat weaker Ryzen 7 4700U and the slower Vega 7 iGPU. If you want to game a lot, you can take a calm look at the Intel model of the Yoga Slim 7 14, but the AMD models are the better all-rounders and thus the better choice for many users.
