REGRET RADAR

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x: is it worth it long term?

Lenovo's 14.5-inch Copilot+ laptop with a 2944x1840 90Hz OLED touchscreen, a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite chip and a 70Wh battery in a 1.28kg aluminium body. Owners rave about its battery life, screen and speed, but Windows-on-Arm app gaps, USB-C-only ports and thin long-term evidence keep it from a clean sweep.
