Lenovo has announced two new laptops based on the Windows-on-Arm platform that will use the Snapdragon X Elite chipset – the Yoga Slim 7x 14 Gen 9 and the ThinkPad T14 Gen 6. Let’s take a look at the key details of the two new devices.

Yoga Slim 7x 14 Gen 9

As the name suggests, the Yoga Slim 7x 14 Gen 9 is a slim machine measuring just 12.9mm. It weighs around 1.28kg. Within this thin and lightweight packaging, the machine manages to equip a 70Whr battery and also supports Rapid Charge Express technology that according to the company offers 3 hours of usage for 15 minutes of charging with the new power-efficient SoC.

The chipset also integrates Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU which supports generative AI-based text-to-image capabilities, among other AI features.

Apart from that, the thin and light laptop boasts the integrated Adreno GPU, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD, 3 x USB-C ports (USB4 certification is pending for July 2024), and a 14.5″ 3K 90Hz OLED panel that reaches 500 nits in SDR content and 1000 nits in HDR content. For wireless connectivity the machine offers WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 support. It comes with a backlit keyboard with 1.5mm key travel.

The device is now available for pre-order on Lenovo’s website for $1,289 (~9,245 Yuan)

ThinkPad T14s Gen 6

Just like the previous one, it also powers the Snapdragon X Elite chip and also offers the generative AI capabilities. However, it offers you 32GB LPDDR5X soldered memory, 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen 4×4 SSD, but a smaller 58Whr battery pack that supports Rapid Charge (charges up to 80% within 1 hour).

The display has a 14″ WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS panel that goes up to 400 nits. This machine is 16.9mm in thickness but weighs 1.24kg, slightly less than the Yoga Slim 7x 14 Gen 9.
