Lenovo's 13mm thin Snapdragon X debut may be my favorite Windows laptop ever (and I'm not exaggerating)

I've been using the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x for nearly a week now, and from the first day, I completely fell in love with this impossibly slim, powerful, and long-lasting laptop.

I have this laptop as well and it's a dream device. It's hard to believe the battery life you get with such an amazing screen. Windows battery report (powercfg /batteryreport at the command line) is reporting 12.5 hours average runtime per charge after a week of constant use. You can watch netflix with a power draw of 3.5 watts (estimated 20 hour runtime) if you baby it.

There a single flaw that I've noticed, and I may be nitpicking here, but disappointed considering how perfect it is otherwise. The hinge creaks slightly when you open/close it. It's odd because the hinge itself feels really tight/solid. Better than most laptops I've used. But somehow it creaks a tiny bit if you pay close attention. Oh and the speakers are average. Passable but I've seen laptops with way better ones.

But I guess there's always that "one thing" that you can find that prevents a device from being perfect.

I knew I'd love this laptop the moment I unboxed it, but I didn't know by how much! The Yoga Slim 7x is a very, very good laptop and is my new go-to recommendation for anyone who asks me.

Maybe it's time to revisit this recommendation Zack

Lenovo hasn't released a single GPU / NPU driver update since launch, despite numerous releases from Qualcomm (Latest drivers are from 13th May) - And their support is clueless about the situation.

None of the new frameworks like DirectML or WebNN are able to utilize the GPU and NPU properly resulting in crashes or straight-up errors.

The existing drivers also tend to crash / freeze-restart the system on GPU intensive workloads randomly (even Edge playing Netflix), but no word from Lenovo.
