Technology gifts for the holidays. What equipment should I choose?

Statistics say that we spend more and more time on smartphones. However, for many people, the laptop remains the center of everyday digital life – entertainment and work. It is a tool that allows you to spend time well, rest and relax, as well as perform duties and deal with matters that are important to us. It is therefore not surprising that many people are constantly looking for the best model for themselves to be able to perform all these activities efficiently and comfortably.

A universal, versatile and efficient laptop with AI functions, i.e. Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (9th generation) Aura Edition

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (9th generation) Aura Edition, due to its slim and light design made of high-quality aluminum, is an ideal, yet durable and damage-resistant travel companion.

The casing with a bottom cover made of 50% recycled aluminum meets the MIL-STD-810H military standard, so you can take it with you anywhere without worrying about its safety – whether on a business trip or on vacation. Equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra Evo processors, the laptop offers incredible performance that will meet even the most demanding tasks. The hybrid architecture of the 8-core processor ensures intelligent energy management and performance optimization depending on the tasks performed. The integrated, high-performance graphics system will allow you to enjoy smooth operation of popular games and efficiently edit multimedia.

An important element of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (9th generation) Aura Edition is the beautiful 15.3-inch PureSight Pro display with 2.8K resolution (2880 x 1800 px) and 16:10 aspect ratio, which provides more working space. The IPS LCD matrix offers extremely vivid and realistic colors, confirmed by the Delta E < 1 certificate and 100% coverage of the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts. The high refresh rate of 120 Hz makes animations as smooth as ever. The touch screen adds interactivity and allows for intuitive operation known from smartphones and tablets - it is still one of my favorite ways to operate a laptop, because some tasks are performed much faster. And speaking of speed, I must mention the built-in NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with over 45 TOPS, which accelerates the operation of artificial intelligence-based applications, so AI-assisted tasks requiring additional computing power take much less time.

Speaking of artificial intelligence, one of the key functions of this laptop are intelligent SMART MODES modes, thanks to which we have full control over everything that happens on the equipment. In addition, Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is equipped with the Smart Share option, thanks to which you just need to touch the phone to the screen to establish a connection and conveniently transfer files between devices.

This all sounds impressive, but what about the operating time on a single charge? The high-capacity battery allows for up to 22 hours of continuous use, and Rapid Charge Express technology provides an additional 3 hours of operation after just 15 minutes of charging, so you can quickly replenish energy during a break if necessary. Purchasing this model also means other additional benefits: a 2-month trial version of Adobe Creative Cloud, which will allow you to test professional software for editing graphics and creating multimedia content, and a 3-year Premium Care warranty, which will provide comprehensive support and assistance when needed, including repair of equipment delivered to your home.

Two gaming computers for different pockets

Among the gaming offers, Lenovo has two great models that should appeal to demanding fans of computer games.

The first of them is Lenovo Legion 5i (9th generation), a machine designed for demanding games and e-sports, equipped with a powerful 14th generation Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card and the intelligent Lenovo AI Engine+ system, that optimizes gaming performance. Its 16-inch WQXGA screen with a refresh rate of 240 Hz provides an incredibly smooth and sharp image, and the advanced Legion ColdFront Hyper cooling system ensures low temperatures even during intense gameplay. The Legion TrueStrike keyboard with 4-zone RGB backlight complements the gaming character. The laptop is also covered by 3 years of Premium Care.

LOQ 15IAX9 is a proposition for players looking for high performance at an affordable price. Powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics and Lenovo AI Engine+, LOQ offers smooth Full HD gaming on a 15.6-inch screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. The new thermal design ensures quiet and cool operation, and G-SYNC technology eliminates image tearing.

A truly portable PC gaming and streaming console

The Lenovo Legion Go console will be the best possible proposition for mobile gaming enthusiasts. The manufacturer focused on the proven design of a portable console with efficient components inside, which is the dream of an increasing number of game enthusiasts and fans. The equipment is equipped with an 8.8-inch QHD+ Lenovo PureSight Gaming screen, which provides amazing image quality with adjustable brightness up to 500 nits and a refresh rate from 60 Hz to 144 Hz. Inside there is an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor with RDNA 3 graphics, guaranteeing high performance and energy efficiency.

One of the key features, from my perspective, but probably from many other people’s perspective, is the ability to play in different modes thanks to detachable controllers. One of them can act as a mouse, which in the case of FPS titles will be a game changer for a huge number of players, just like a precise touchpad in titles requiring precise cursor control. The advanced Lenovo Legion Coldfront cooling system is responsible for high operating efficiency, maintaining optimal temperature, which also translates into smooth operation of the equipment. Thanks to Windows 11 and the Legion Space overlay, Legion Go is ready for games from various launchers such as Steam and Epic Games. The console is also perfect for streaming games from the cloud, e.g. as part of Game Pass, a 3-month free version of which comes with the console.

Like a tablet, only with these features

Versatile, easy to use and with a great design – this is a tablet that makes work easier and more enjoyable for more and more people. Lenovo Tab Plus is a device that will be perfect as a home entertainment center when eight JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos come into play, providing a cinematic experience when watching movies, and the efficient MediaTek G99 processor will allow for smooth gameplay of demanding mobile games.

After playing, the tablet can be used as a handy e-book library – the built-in reading mode and low blue light emission certificate will ensure eye comfort even during long sessions. And when the battery finally runs out, you can fully charge it in just 90 minutes, which will translate into another several dozen hours of tablet use. What’s more, with Lenovo Freestyle you can transfer files to your computer, stream apps to a larger screen, or use your tablet as an additional monitor. And the built-in stand, which is a characteristic feature of this tablet, is the perfect solution for watching TV series in bed or making video calls with friends.
