Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro 14" (Intel): the 1240P with the discrete card
The Yoga Slim 7i Pro 14 in its Intel trim (2022) at $783 pairs an Intel Core i5 1240P with a GeForce MX550 carrying 2GB, and 16GB of memory. It is the pro-branded interpretation of the slim convertible: a little more graphics, a little less battery, the same 14-inch carry math.
Where it holds up
The graphics score of 49.14 stands nearly thirteen times above the convertible median of 3.84 — the discrete card's contribution, mainstream-tier and top quartile. Photo design posts 87 (top) as the sheet's strongest axis, portability reaches 73.7 (high), and office at 79.74 (high) keeps the working case solid. The recommended-bar checks pass for Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege, GTA V is judged by its pass flag alone, and Far Cry 5 logs a plausible 45 frames at its recommended bar; Photoshop and Visual Studio Code clear their minimums.
Where it falls short
Memory is the named weakness: 16GB against a 32GB median, the standard pro-slim compromise. Value at 43.75 (mid) is unremarkable — the Pro premium is real — and the throughput mids (gaming 46, modeling 55, CAD 55) reflect an entry card doing honest work. Performance at 47.13 (mid) is the 1240P's efficiency brief showing through.
Price and depreciation
At $783 the class rate reads 11.95% per year with no cohort anchor for a projection — rate-only framing for the convertible segment. Three years of the curve are behind the listing; the MX550's remaining useful life likely outlasts the remaining depreciation base.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga 7i Gen 7 14 at the same $783 leads with battery (71Wh) rather than graphics — the endurance-versus-GPU decision at price parity. The Yoga Slim 7 Gen 8 AMD at $138 more resolves stronger integrated graphics with twice the memory; the newer platform is worth the step if the budget allows.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The Slim 7i Pro is the graphics-leaning slim convertible — thirteen-times-median from an MX550, top-band photo design, a 45-frame Far Cry 5 showing — with its 16GB ceiling as the one spec that argues for its newer rival.
