This article is a detailed list of all the thin-and-light laptops built on Intel’s Kaby Lake (or Kabylake) hardware platform, starting with fanless Core M (Core Y) ultraportables, continuing with the mid-range Core U options and Core HQ models, as of the beginning of 2017, when these were released.
Kabylake is the 7th generation of Intel Core processors and as a result, Kaby Lake CPUs can be identified by the letter 7 after the dash in their naming.
The Kabylake platform includes several subfamilies, with most of them available at the time of this post:
- Kaby Lake Core Y (also known as Core M) – low-power processors with a TDP of around 4.5 W, usually meant for tablets and ultra-thin fanless computers. Includes the Core m3-7Y10, Core i5-5Y54 and the Core i7-7Y75 . The naming is a little confusing, but you can tell this series apart based on the letter Y after the generation series (7).
- Kaby Lake Core U – mid-level dual-core processors with a TDP of 15 or 28 W, meant for a vast range of portable laptops and also included in mobile full-size notebooks. Includes the Core i3-7100U, Core i5-7200U or Core i7-7500U and CPUs in this series are identified by the letter U at the end of their name. Most are bundled with Intel HD 620 graphics, but some are bundled with faster Iris 640 or Iris 650 Pro (the 28W models) graphics.
- Kaby Lake Core H – dual or quad-core processors with TDPs between 35 to 45 W, bundled with Intel HD 630 graphics and usually meant for multimedia, gaming and other high-performance notebooks. Includes the Core i7-7700HQ, Core i5-7300HQ or the Core i7-7820HK (uncloked multiplier).
If you’re reading this article in 2018 or later, you should also check out our articles on the updated platforms: the Amber Lake Y, the Whiskey Lake U and Coffee Lake H. A lost has changed in the meantime, and not just in terms of performance.
You’ll find a few details about these processors in the picture below, but we’re not going to get in depth on the particularities of the Kabylake platform and how it fares against the previous Intel generations in this article, that’s a topic for another post (will be available soon).
Back to our listing then. In order to keep things organized, the article is split in a few sections, based on screen size. We’re specifying the form-factor for each unit, type of screen, CPU and GPU, the battery size, the weight and the starting price. Clicking the links on each unit’s name will take you to our more detailed articles and reviews on that device, while clicking the links on the prices column will offer more details about the available configurations and up-to-date prices at the time you’re reading this post.
This article is a continuous work in progress, as we add to it as more notebooks become available. In case you spot anything that should be in here and it’s not, please let us know in the comments section at the end of the post.
The first section includes the smaller ultraportables, with screen sizes under 13-inches in diagonal.

And then we have the full-size portable laptops with Kabylake hardware, with 15 to 18-inch screens and all sorts of specs and configurations. In order to keep within the topic of this article, we’re only including thin-and-light computers, which means they have to weigh under 6 pounds (for 15-inchers) or 7 pounds (for 17-inchers) and have a total body thickness of under 1.1 inches.
Due to the weight restrictions, some of the most powerful Kaby Lake notebooks are not included here, but you can find more about most of them from these articles on laptops with Nvidia 1050, 1060 and 1070/1080 graphics.

- convertible: 2-in-1 laptop whose screen rotates or converts to a tablet mode (or similar), but cannot be detached from the base;
- detachable: 2-in-1 laptop whose screen detaches from a solid base and can be used independently as a tablet;
- tablet + folio: stand-alone tablet paired with matching keyboad-folio;
- slider: 2-in-1 laptop whose screen slides up and down on top of the body and reveals a keyboard hidden underneath.
- Resolutions: HD ( 1366 x 768 px), WXGA+ (1440 x 900 px), HD+ (1600 x 900 px), FHD (1920 x 1080 px), WUXGA (1920 x 1200 px) FHD+ (2160 x 1440 px), retina (2304 x 1440 px), QHD (2560 x 1440 px), WQXGA (2560 x 1600 px), QHD+ (3200 x 1800 px), UHD (3840 x 2160 px) – also see this post;
That’s about it for now, but if you’re interested in a larger selection of portable laptops based on other criteria, you should also check out the following articles:
- my recommendations on sub-12-inch, 13-inch and 14 to 17-inch ultrabooks;
- my favorite gaming ultraportables of the moment;
- my selection of 2-in-1 hybrid laptops;
- my selection of budget ultrabooks.
Hope you’ll find this article helpful. As mentioned earlier, we are doing our best to keep the lists up-to-date, but it’s a tedious job and sometimes we might not be able to find all the units that should be in here. So if you notice anything that’s missing, please tell us about it in the comments section.

Hello Andrei,
Do you know a site selling the yoga 910s (12.5 in)?
All what I find is about the yoga 900 (14 in)
Regards

Hmmm, no, all I can find is the Yoga 900S with Skylake Core Ms. From what I can tell this 910S was never a reality, it was probably announced and that's why it made it to the list, but never actually made it into a real product.

Hello Andrei, I am trying find the most up to date and fast fanless laptop. I am a bit confused between y, u, hq. Can you point me in the right direction and what to look for in the description?

HI Gina. Core Y is what you should look for, also mentioned as Core M in some sheets. The latest offers are laptops with a Core i5-7Y54, Core i7-7Y57 or Core i7-7Y75 CPU, you can go on big websites (newegg, bestbuy, etc) and filter results based on these. You can also look at the Core Y laptops in this list, but although I try to keep this complete, some might be missing, so double check with the stores or with Google searches.

Correction – Dell Latitude 15 5000 (5580) has a larger battery option at a whopping 92 Wh. While this configuration is only available in select countries, one can buy it in Dell store in any country to get over 20 hours of runtime, just like the Thinkpad T570 with its 104 Wh battery.
Btw, the Latitude 5480 and 5580 are also configurable with quad-core HQ processors as someone already mentioned in the comments.

I think the new Lenovo Flex 4 (14") has it. Might want to confirm, but it says 7th gen. Thanks for the list.
