How Is This Powerful Laptop So Quiet?! 

CES blesses us with a month's worth of supply of Dave2D videos

Thanks to CES, we can watch 3 Dave videos within 24 hours

You might have tunnel vision around sound, but I do think it's a really important factor. I've got some jet engines running in some laptops and, if I had known I was going to push them that hard, I might have found something quieter.

Best 17 hours of my life. Back to back videos by Dave, what else do you need.

Great to know someone else loves quiet devices as much as I do!

I'm so glad he covered the Yoga series laptops. I'm eating good with these Dave videos coming out daily.

It's amazing how far the yoga laptops have come. My first laptop Dave did a video on, which was also my first Dave2d video, was the yoga 920, where he peeled a carrot on its sharp edge 🥕

Thanks! a request to keep all videos in this form factor, like simple set up that matches Dave 2D's simplistic delivery.

Man, I would be super interested in a comparison between the 14 inch 7i with the Core Ultra 7 vs the same chassis with the Ryzen 7840H. Especially when looking at noise levels and efficiency.

I'm close to tears! I've been looking soooo long for a powerful but silent windows laptop! Then I was about to give up and was at the blink of the edge to buy a MacBook last week! So thankful for this video, now I'll only have to wait a little bit more :)

They're looking amazing. I've got a slim modern oled laptop and it's great but these Yoga you reviewed seem to be the pinnacle of the tech.

I have a 14.5" yoga pro 9i (4060, 13905H, 32gb RAM) and they are actually slept on. The cooling is superb (no throttling), screen is great and battery life is to be expected. The build quality is also the best I have seen in any windows laptops.

2:40 Not putting the full CPU name in a chart like that is insanely frustrating. (Ultra 7 155H, Ultra 9 185H, and which i7 was it???)

2:22 "I cannot stress this enough" this is such a good pun

Man CES is the best!! So many videos by Dave!!! 🥳🎉

i like these videos man, u made us wait for a long time without any uploads

It's nice to see reviewers mention music production once in a while - thanks for that!

Great vid. thank you Dave. A link to that thunderbolt drive would be great.

Good to see that Dave's getting sponsors, his reviews are really geniune.

Sums up my entrie day the three videos of Dave2D!

The usb drive speeds you mention sell USB 3.1 speeds short. It's more like 800mb/s, and my TB3 enclosure usually hits 1200mb/s when boosting in real life workloads, the 2500mb/s is purely theoretical when measuring bandwith with something like sandisk. In my experience it's not USB bandwidth but cache size that makes most of the difference when editing with multiple streams on an external drive - drives start to crawl once the DRAM buffer is full.

Omg I been waiting for dave2d to review these‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Appreciating the content: 😁 Appreciating back-to-back yt vids fr Dave: ✅

What was the thunderbolt cable and drive Dave used in 3;55?

Grande Dave! Thanks for the video review! 5 stars worth!

nice video man!!! i love your content brodie!!!!

3 Dave2D vids back-to-back? I’m lovin it!

Love the videos! Would it be possible to keep the graphs/table on screen a tad longer? My pause game ain’t what it used to be and I’m having to rewind each time

this, Asus g14/16, im really impressed with the new tech. hopefully way more to come

After daily driving both glossy and matte screens, I will always prefer matte on my laptops. But it's always good to have options.

Cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

ahhhh sponsored segment. I will say, I am hoping to see laptops start including the Frore Airjet system. So far its the most interesting system I have seen from cooling in the laptop segment.

Awesome review, very informative!

Thanks a million man for the review... Really nice insights... Does lenovo offer it in a matte screen version as well?

I can't believe it''s quiet either, that's why we need more tests with recorded samples, not just the numbers. We hope to see them soon on your channel. 👍

2 vids yesterday and another upload today. Dave2D is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

How many more videoss, my day is blessed

Big fan of lenovo laptops. Personally used the Yoga and carbon x1 as a consultant

I'm excited to see Dave truly excited.

I'm so torn between this pro 9i, xps 16 and new asus g16 this year! heat + fan noise and display are top considerations though, so good to see lenovo making them a priority here!

Haircut Sponsor...Urgent

On a separate note, I own the 9i with a Core i9/RTX2070 and the BIOS software is quite cool. It allows yoyu to run the laptop on "quiet mode", which reduces the fans speed to avoid noise. This obviously makes the laptop run hotter but nice feature to have in case it's needed.

first time seeing Dave releasing 3 videos in one day

3 videos in 1 day. well done dave!

back to back to back, my man is on a roll and im all up on it

I use NoteBook FanControl (NBFC) to keep my laptop very quiet as well while gaming (30 to 35 dB). CPU and GPU do thermal throttle however, but the FPS loss is negligible, from 5 to 10 FPS in most games. My laptop is repasted with PTM7950 and it helps a lot as well.

He was previously disappointed in the new Intel chips. Now, in a sponsored video, he's singing them praises. Dave, please don't sell out. Sell Out by Reel Big Fish: "So I signed on to the record company They say they're gonna give me lot's of money If I play what they want you to hear Tell me it's cool, and I'll sure believe it Sell out, with me, oh yea Sell out with me tonight The record company's gonna give me lots of money And everything's gonna be alright"

Thank you ces for these videos

I have got one of the 2023 lenovo slim pro 7s upon hearing many good reviews about them like this one. Lenovo QC is shit, I had the computer for 2-3 months. During sleep it heats up for no reason(probably some ridicilous process running in the background) and it burnt the hardware. I was unable to boot (no hard drive detected) and had to send it for repairs. They changed the whole motherboard (should have been fun :)). I have the computer back and the issue persists. I cannot close the lid so I use it on shutdown on closing the lid. I don't know how much these reviewers are getting paid. It is always good things about these laptops. Maybe my experience is an exception but it was a waste of money. Just wanted to vent.

16inch M1 Pro vs intel core ultra? Should you get a dedicated gpu as well with intel for premiere?

my wife got this 14" 7i pro 2023 version with rtx 4050, it runs well & quiet with even the older intel cpu. got to play new AAA games with high settings for dozens of hours with no throttling.

As a creative, I disagree about glossy screens being good for professional creatives. There is a reason almost every reference monitor comes with a matte anti-glare coating and even with hoods to put around the monitor to have as little light interference as possible. Even when doing print work almost no one does professional printing glossy when doing proofs. Glossy looks nice for consumers and hobbyists. But no pro that needs to be able to actually trust their colors is using glossy for their final color work. there is a reason that even though Apple does shiny screens everywhere has a matte option for its XDR display it's because they know that it is a non-starter for color-accurate work.

Looks like there is finally some real competition to MacBooks or rather the niche they are occupying. Quite refreshing and it hopefully leads to lower prices there as maybe Apple is now a tiny bit under pressure now.

As a current Yoga user, it has surpassed my expectations. I’m glad this upcoming year they doubled down on their creative identity. I’ll wait for a Thunderbolt 5 option before upgrading. The yoga laptop already had amazing battery life, but it is loud. My guess is that the battery life is a sleight improvement but the improvement is more about how quiet (efficient) they are.

how do these compare to the zenbook 2024? 14OLED? particularly the fan noise.

Would u recommend these laptops or the new xps 14 and 16 like for balance of productivity work, battery life and slight gaming. Are they comparable?

after using my yoga slim 7 with a Ryzen CPU for more than a year, the screen has a very visible imprint of the keyboard that cannot be wiped away. I guess the screen is too flexible and presses on the keys when you close the laptop. I wonder if the new devices suffer the same issue.

thanks Dave for this new videos

i got a yoga slim 7 14 with the exclusive 7640S a few months ago and it's a beast. specced it out and it came to £680 with a student discount (base model was like 1k lol). 2K OLED panel looks beautiful. All I had to do was give up a touch screen and the OS preinstalled. The cooling solution is just insane for the from factor, and the performance is nuts. Handles all my music production needs without breaking a sweat. Integrated GPU performance with the 760M is a little more than the GTX 1050. And doing idle tasks like note taking and browsing, it can last a good 7-8hrs on battery. Wild.

They once made this C720 or something. It was a 2 in 1 with dedicated graphics, good stylus support and good screen. Idk when will I get a similar product back. Currently rocking a samsung book 2 360. No graphic card but it supports rest of the needs.

For the 9i Pro, you say you got 35 dB from Overwatch. What graphics card are you using? I would also want to see the dB from a 4070 version of the laptop running something like Cyberpunk.

I do not know about you guys but in super budget category there was huge changes and it's big jump for low income contries. 1 year ago cheap IPS screen was not existand. Besides we got 4+ new gen core CPUs too. 8gb Ram + SSD became common. I just excite that almost all cheap laptops becoming decent.

Does those have the new Lenovo TGX port for e-gpu ?

I was just hoping to see in CES 2024 more devices with frore airjet cooling. Unfortunately there is nothing yet. Those coolers are really the next thing for electronic devices

Can we just take a second and really appreciate the rounded corners of the screen?

Let's hope the Lenovo Legion is also built with the same improvements applied. A bit more power balanced with reasonable power consumption and fan noise.

I love how Dave just casually flexes his AW3225QF on the desk behind him. 😂

Hey Dave, would you take a look at some months old HP elitebook 865 G10 ? I know it's out for some months now, but I'm generally interested how usable business oriented premium laptops have become.

It's a shame that this review is sponsored. I was hoping for an unbiased review of this laptop.

Is it possible to buy these new ultra cores in some laptops or not yet?

Thanks for so amazing videos in such a short period of time ❤️

Good to see Lenovo has improved their thermals. That's generally been a huge problem for all their thinner models.

Title: How is this Powerful Laptop So Quiet..? Lenovo: " I'm not tell'n" 😅

The problem with paid sponsored videos is that it is a paid sponsored video.

Finally some new stuff. After all these years its finally worth it to consider an upgrade.

Would have been nice to compare battery wirh an amd laptop. So many reviews praise new meteor lake but it is actually just catching up

what animation was playing on the yoga pro 9i? Great video as always👍

For those prices, they better be quiet as well as tuck you in at night, with hot coco and marshmallows!

This man's personal love for tech is unimaginable "I can't stress on this enough" ❤️

Which is that thunderbolt drive that Dave is using?

do you know why the flow series line up didn't get a 2024 refresh like the other rog models?

Where does he get the wallpapers from?

@Dave2D, to be honest, this video actually looked like a sponsored video, even on your narrative. The display, both the FHD+ OLED and the 16" 3.2K Mini LED is not new, they are even present in lenovo's 2023 lineup of the predecessors of these two laptops already. Only update is the Intel meteorlake but saying that Intel's new chip made these kind of new laptops possible is incorrect. AMD's Zen 3+ (6000 series) and Zen 4 (7400 series) have been providing this kind of efficiency and high integrated Graphics performance for 2 years now. Only problem is due to pressure from Intel, none of these brands put AMD chips in their premium series or make it extremely difficult to get, even if they release one. Just use a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Gen 8 with Ryzen 7 7840S(lenovo's custom tuning to the Zen 4) and you'll see that all the features, performance, efficiency, battery life you have discussed, are already there.

3 videos in 48 hrs. We've been blessed

Kind of crazy they can do this on x86 platform where apple is on ARM. I wonder how much better intel could get with the efficiency from ARM

Nice devices, but the bundled in AI crap mentioned at the end is pretty despicable... creatives work hard and should respect other creatives, which image generating AI crap definitely does not.

Things like this make me so excited for the future

@Dave2D Can you review the smaller one or just tell us if it's so silent as well?

Dave has released 4 videos within a day. Dave is in his Kobe year.

Dave, we definitely need a new video on the new Intel naming scheme

How does the ultra 9 compare to. Something like i7 latest gen? Or like the i9 i would love to know

Dave, what typing app you are using?

How good is the Pro 9i for gaming? In comparison to something like the new G16?

I look forward to the student laptop choice for 2024!

You can review the web camera as well?

any idea when release date is for the 2024 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i ?

Dave can you suggest a good budget gaming laptop?

Has Lenovo fixed the hinges in the most recent laptops? The hinge is attached to the frame with a screw threaded in a plastic piece, so it ends up breaking It happened to both hinges of my laptop (different occasions) and found that it’s a common issue

Dave is having the time of his life! He can barely contain his excitement! 😂

Is the intel Athena program still not running? The whole point is what Dave mentioned in th3 first minute.
