Lenovo has started selling the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition in the UK, after recently showing it at CES 2026. The 14-inch laptop is part of Intel’s new Panther Lake lineup and replaces the earlier Lunar Lake-based Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition.
At CES, Lenovo promoted the laptop with the Core Ultra X9 388H processor. However, the first retail units in the UK ship with the Core Ultra 7 355 instead. This processor has 8 cores, split into 4 performance and 4 efficiency cores. The X9 model shown at launch features a more complex 16-core setup with 4 performance, 8 efficiency, and 4 low-power efficiency cores. For graphics, the Core Ultra 7 355 includes an iGPU with 4 Xe3 integrated GPU cores.
Other hardware specifications remain unchanged. The Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition features a 2.8K OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and up to 1,110 nits of peak HDR brightness. The panel covers 100 percent of AdobeRGB and sRGB color spaces and carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification. Lenovo pairs the display with 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at up to 9,600 MHz. Storage options include either 1 TB or 2 TB M.2 2242 SSDs.
The laptop is built around a magnesium alloy chassis designed to minimize weight. It weighs 975 grams, which is under 2.2 lbs, and measures 312 x 212 x 13.9 mm. A 75 Wh battery is included, and Lenovo uses a matte Yoga coating across the chassis to reduce fingerprints and surface oils during daily use.
As for pricing in the UK, Lenovo store prices the 1TB configuration at £1,620. The 2 TB version costs £1,879 and includes a Windows 11 Pro license. All prices include VAT. These models will be available from February 6 on the brand’s website.
In the US, the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition is still marked as coming soon, with pricing expected to start at $1,499.99 and availability planned for Q2 2026. Lenovo has not confirmed whether a Core Ultra X9 388H version will be sold later.
