Lenovo remains one of the world’s leading PC makers and the company tried to remind everyone it’s one big innovator, so this week it unveiled several new devices at the CES virtual event.

One of them is the Yoga Slim 7i Pro, a laptop that now comes with an OLED panel too in addition to the LCD variant already available.

The 14-inch OLED screen offers a 90 Hz refresh rate, and Lenovo promises a lag-free experience for customers.

“With an OLED panel produced by Samsung Display, the 14-inch Yoga Slim 7i Pro is available with an up to 2.8K (2880 x 1800) OLED display and offers 90Hz refresh rate to reduce lag and a taller 16:10 aspect ratio for more screen real estate. It’s the first laptop from the Lenovo Yoga line to offer consumers such an immersive OLED display technology upgrade, making it fundamentally different than LCD,” the company explains.

“Chrominance attributes (called chroma) are amplified by up to 1.25 times the amount provided over LCD, resulting in higher color frequency and saturations of black, not to mention an amplified contrast ratio for 667 times more definition over LCD. This smarter combination of display quality, thin laptop design, mobile processors, and (AI) artificial intelligence works together to create a premium laptop offering better image quality, plus a low response time and power consumption.”

Not coming to the U.S.

The new laptop can be ordered with an up to Intel 11th Gen Core i7 chip paired with Intel Iris X, and dedicated graphics are also available in the form of an NVIDIA GeForce MX450. For storage, you get up to 1TB SSD, while the top RAM amount is 16GB.

The new model comes with Wi-Fi 6.0 and Bluetooth 5.0, and includes an IR camera with dual mics, Harman speakers with Dolby Atmos, 2 USB Type-C ports, one USB-A connector, and a 61 WHr battery.

Lenovo says the debut will happen later this year, but North America wouldn’t get it. Pricing would be shared at a later time.
