Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro: a laptop that's more than its unfortunate naming convention suggests. With an Intel 11th gen CPU and Iris Xe graphics, it packs a surprising punch for its price. A 14-inch touchscreen display with high resolution and 90Hz refresh rate is just the beginning. But can this ultrabook live up to its premium features? Let's dive in and find out.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 is an all-in-one Chromebook that blends the lines between laptop and tablet.
