Intel’s new Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” SoCs have become a favorite for laptop manufacturers, which is why companies like Dell, MSI, and HP have unveiled their extensive portfolio surrounding the newest architecture. Now, Lenovo has joined the bandwagon, and their newest laptop does bring a whole new “aura” on board, as the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is not only capable in terms of performance but is said to feature the longest battery life out of all laptops, surpassing Apple’s MacBook as well.

Moving onto specifications, the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition features Intel’s Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor, likely the Core Ultra 7 258V, which comes with an 8C/8T configuration with a P-Core boost at 4.8 GHz and an E-Core boost at 3.7 GHz. The onboard NPU manages to bring in 45 AI TOPS computing power, which is quite impressive and will allow a seamless edge AI experience. Intel’s Lunar Lake CPUs haven’t just brought in raw performance, but they come with phenomenal power efficiency figures, which we’ll talk about later on.

In terms of memory and storage, the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition comes with LPDDR5x-8533 memory, which allows capacities up to 32 GB and features up to 1 TB storage compatibility. Below are the complete specifications of the device, in case you are interested in going into intricacies:

The best part about Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is its battery life. In testing by the renowned YouTuber Dave2D, the laptop managed to provide over eight hours in medium workloads and up to 11 hours and 31 minutes in light ones, showing that the 70 Whr battery is indeed doing its part in bringing in battery timings that are superior to Apple’s MacBook Air M3 and even AMD’s Hawk Point laptops such as ASUS’s Zenbook S16.

While Intel’s Lunar Lake CPU architecture plays a major role in achieving such battery timings, it isn’t solely responsible here. The Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition features a dedicated “AI Core,” which is beneficial in automatically adjusting power loads depending upon usage. For example, if the laptop is idle or running smaller workloads, the power levels will automatically drop down to sufficient levels, allowing efficient utilization of battery capacity.

In terms of pricing, Lenovo plans to retail the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition at €1,399 in the EU and $1,279.99 in the US. The laptop is certainly an aggressive release by Lenovo, hoping to capture market attention by offering not only top-level performance but several AI-oriented features to enhance user experience.
