BURO Gadget Guide: 3 Exciting tech releases from December 2024

Welcome to the final edition of the BURO Gadget Guide, featuring all the most notable tech drops from the month prior. While we’re well into welcoming 2025, we’re still talking about some of our favourite tech releases December 2024. Ahead, you’ll get to know three of them: the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition, Huawei Freebuds Pro 4, and Huawei Mate X6. 

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition

Made for boundless creativity, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is the brand’s latest all-in-one, supercharged laptop. Using 2nd Gen Intel Core Ultra processors, the laptop elevates your AI-driven experiences with speed and power. The main highlight of this new device are its Smart Features: Smart Modes, Smart Share, and Smart Care—all of which are driven by AI. Smart Modes adapt the laptop to your needs. For example, Wellness Mode sends alerts to take breaks for your eyes and posture AI sensors. Smart Share allows for cross-device sharing on both iOS and Android devices, whereas Smart Care offers round-the-clock tech assistance straight from your laptop. 

On the content front, Lenovo Creator Zone is the prime example of just how broad the creative possibilities are on the device, allowing you to generate original images through its natural processing capabilities. There are four ways you can do this: text-to-image, sketch-to-image, image-to-image, and the Lenovo Creator Zone Advance Image Editing suite. For an optimal viewing experience, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition’s PureSight Pro display ensures vibrancy and clarity, while the 120Hz refresh rate promises smooth scrolling and gaming. The night owls will also benefit from the TÜV Low Blue Light and Eyesafe certification, which lessen the strain on your eyes even when using the laptop well after the sun has set.

Its display boasts a 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of 1,800 nits.
