Performance scores
Lenovo Slim 7i Pro X (14” Intel) — the cheapest discrete-GPU card in this batch, with no low band anywhere
The Slim 7i Pro X 14" at $470 is a 2022 general-class laptop with a twelve-core Core i5 12500H, a GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile (4 GB), and 32 GB of RAM. Graphics performance is the flagged strength at 63.1 — 131.6% above the general-class median of 27.24 — with battery at 70 Wh (+45.8%) and overall performance at 60.38 (+40.2%) in support. No weakness is flagged, and no low-band axis anywhere on the sheet backs that up.
Where it holds up
Photo design posts 86 (top) — the standout axis for a 4 GB card — with office productivity at 87.4 (top) alongside. Portability reads 65.7 (high) for a 14-inch with a 70 Wh cell, value lands at 64.9 (mid), and gaming, modeling and CAD read 57 (mid) apiece. Every axis sits mid-band or better; there is no low band to footnote.
Where it falls short
The honest limits are tier limits, not flagged weaknesses: the GTX 1650 is two generations back, and 57-mid modeling caps heavier creative work. No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); the 2022 cohort rate is 11.94% per year, the gentlest general-class band in this batch.
Price and depreciation
No curve or projection applies without an anchor; the 11.94% class rate describes a nearly settled card. At $470 this is the cheapest discrete-GPU entry in the batch.
Alternatives to consider
the Slim Pro 7 Gen 8 (AMD) at $553 in this list steps to a 3050-class GPU with value 89 top; the Slim Pro 9i 14.5" at $553 doubles the RAM and the GPU tier; and the Surface Pro 7 at $481 is the no-dGPU tablet route at the same money.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. A no-weak-spot budget all-rounder: photo 86 top, office 87.4 top, portability 65.7 high and a 70 Wh battery at $470 — the cheapest dGPU ticket in the batch, with tier limits honestly drawn at 57-mid gaming and modeling.
