I'm always on the lookout for a good deal on highly rated models here at TechRadar, and I've just spotted one highlight over at the official Lenovo Store that's particularly good if you want a high-end laptop.
It's the stunning Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x for $1,268.99 (was $1,699) — a huge price cut on a machine with an OLED display that we think is one of the best on the market.
Our Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x review praised the machine's 3K OLED display for its brightness, excellent contrast, and inky blacks. It's great for everything from everyday tasks to light gaming, even outperforming some higher-end desktop monitors.
Aside from the display, the Yoga Slim 7x also features a powerful Snapdragon X2 Elite chipset and 32GB of RAM, which is enough to zip through even the most intensive of applications, save for higher-end gaming.

A great high-end MacBook alternate for most people
The Snapdragon chipset in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is quite similar to those found in the latest Apple MacBooks, in that you get almost unbeatable battery life for a laptop. There are still a few compatibility issues with certain apps, however, so it's worth checking to definitely make sure your apps are supported before you pick up a Snapdragon-based machine like the Yoga Slim 7x.
Another thing worth noting is that the Yoga Slim 7x, as the name suggests, is a very svelte and lightweight laptop. That's something that's a big benefit for portability, but it does mean that you get fewer ports versus some bulkier machines. For example, you only have 3 USB-C ports, which means you'll need a dock for connecting things like an external display, an ethernet cable, or peripherals with a USB-A cable.
