If you were talking about the Slim 7i Pro, it doesn't either according to their review. However what is odd is the Ryzen version of the Slim 7 Pro has PWM, so it seems PWM is decided at a motherboard level I guess and not the panel itself..

Thoughts?
I had purchased the Inspiron. Fans went up just by opening Microsoft edge and got hot under the keys.
The Yoga 2&1s are known to have hinge issues.
Either Ideapad would be fine. It would come down to budget at this point. 200$ more you get twice the storage and wifi 6 and 2 thunderbolt 4 ports. But 512 ssd is still plenty storage for the Ideapad 5 pro. You would lack thunderbolt but would get an HDMI port and SD card reader. Full aluminum slim 7i vs mostly aluminum Ideapad 5 pro. It's up to your use case.

I think for the price I'm leaning towards the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 14", Thunderbolt isn't a huge deal for me, and the HDMI would be nice.

Its also $200 cheaper I guess.
