Video editing is the No1 job of a content-creation laptop. That leads us to a checklist that the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro nails, even in its lower-spec versions.
We want 16GB RAM, because you’re going to feel the pinch with 8GB. Tick. At least 512GB of storage is a must because video eats through data like nothing else. Done. And a 12th-gen Intel CPU is top of the list, because the Quick Sync feature offers a real speed boost when working with high-quality 10-bit video. Well, all Slim 7i Pro Gen 7 models use ’em.
