Lenovo Slim/Pro 7/9 — 29 models in the used-laptop catalog , spanning 2020 to 2026 , priced from $378 to $1500 . This guide covers the configuration spread across the line and which setups are worth buying in 2026.
Where the Lenovo Slim/Pro 7/9 line stands in 2026
This series gathers Lenovo's premium consumer convertibles and slim laptops — the Yoga Slim/Pro and Slim Pro families: 29 models from 2020 to 2026, 20 of them 360-degree 2-in-1s. Asking prices run $378 to $1,500 with a median of $921. Weights stay 0.97–2.18 kg, screens 13.3 to 16 inches, RAM ceilings up to 64 GB.
The configuration spread
Core Ultra 7 (17 configs), Core i7 (10), Ryzen 7 (7), Core Ultra 9 (7), Core Ultra 5 (7) and Core i5 (7) cover a thoroughly modern CPU mix. Unlike most convertible lines, the dGPU presence is real: RTX 4050 (6 configs), RTX 5050 (4), RTX 5060 (4), RTX 4060 (4) and RTX 4070 (3) — creator-grade graphics in 2-in-1 chassis — alongside Iris Xe and Arc integrated options.
Price versus age
The ladder is loopy in a buyer-friendly way: 2022 asks $470–$840, 2023 $553–$921, 2024 $650–$1,084, and within 2026 the spread is $900–$1,500. The anomalies are the story: the 2023 Slim Pro 9i units (RTX 4050, i7 13705H) ask just $553, and the 2026 Pro 9i Aura 16" (RTX 5050, 32–64 GB) asks $900 while its Yoga-branded twin asks $1,500. In this line, model identity matters more than year.
Which one to buy
Creator steal: the Lenovo Slim Pro 9i Gen 8 (2023, $553, Core i7 13705H + RTX 4050) in both 14.5" and 16" — the best spec-per-dollar in the roster. Modern mainstream: the Slim 7i 14 Gen 9 (2024, $650, Core Ultra 5 125H + Arc 7-Cores). 2024 creator: the Yoga Pro 7i 14 (2024, $1,084, Core Ultra 5 125H + RTX 4050) or Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024, $1,084, same platform). Current-generation bargain: the Pro 9i Aura Edition 16" (2026, $900, Core Ultra 7 356H + RTX 5050, 32–64 GB). Light classic: the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon 13 (2020, $566, Core i5 1135G7 + Iris Xe); the floor is the Yoga Slim 7 14ARE05 (2020, $378, Ryzen 7 4700U).
Bottom line
Across the roster: best-CPU score 75.9 (the strongest CPU median among the consumer lines in these guides), performance index 58.7, best-GPU score 45.9, portability 64.5, mobility 69, energy efficiency 86.9, reliability 77. Gaming splits by configuration: only 1 game clears recommended settings at the median configuration — the iGPU models hold the median down — but the RTX-bearing units are capable creators' machines. Buy the 2023 Slim Pro 9i at $553 if you find one; it is the standout deal of this series.
