tell lenovos think book division to use you guys on there think book 13X haptic pad. they have a haptic pad on their think book 13x and it sucks it's in the house it's really crappy
The X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura seems great! I liked the Gen 11 a lot, but this is a worthy successor. RAM speed, not space, is 8533 MT/s! That is blazing fast. Also, the Intel ARC iGPU. Solid for 1080p gaming and good for photo editing. Add in some light video editing.
Great video, Andrew. The TP X1 Gen 13 looks great. I'm going to wait for the independent reviews to see the thermals and fan noise. I don't need it for games or video editing, just a reliable laptop with good battery life, silent, cool and no software compatibility issues. That's it. If Intel can deliver that, they’ve got me
Price is not the issue for people. People want 16inch laptops which are less straining to eyes with More powerful Processor. So it last longer. 1) Qualcom Snapdragon X Elite E1X- 84-100 2) AMD Ryzen AI 9HX 375 3) Intel Ultra Core 7 268V
Interesting products no doubt. You mentioned on the aura products that you can tap the iPhone to transfer video files to the pc. Is it true for Android phones or just iPhone? Great video.
I really wish Qualcomm would give us proper graphics drivers for their X Elite SOC's, instead of other chip configurations. There is no improvement since they have released these chips.
Very great chips! I am torn between buying the ASUS S 16 with the AMD Ryzen 9 AI (32GB) or the G 16 (RTX4060, 32GB). Or should I even wait for more Lunar Lake devices to be revealed? I would want a 16" OLED screen in any case
Any idea when a X1 2-in-1 with lunar lake would come? Seams a bit dumb to get one with meteor lake if one with the newer processor is just around the corner.
I was expecting to see the Z series but there's a speculation going around there won't be a continuation of that line after Gen 2? And wow for X1C Gen 13, I was looking at the previous Gen recently. Although I hope it's not all the specs shown here because up to 32GB RAM max and FHD webcam is kind of a downgrade when you could get up to 64GB and 5MP webcam with Gen 12. EDIT: I just learned that the 32GB memory limit is due to Lunar Lake architecture so nothing much we can do about that.
more chip makers in the game, faster tech changes. Coming new company with chip foundry. Japan companies joint venture RAPIDUS. With 2nm process. 2030 will be crazy chips,ram with lpddr 15000mt,pcie 6 ssd. now releasing 5g+ modules 10gbit,will be 5g++,wifi 8
the OLED on the slim 7i doesn't seem to be in Europe either. Is that an option coming later or does someone have the OLED version on their local store already?
That's sad... I was hoping to buy that laptop but then I saw it's not OLED in Germany. Instantly dropped the thought of buying it. I hope it becomes available
The only thing that puts me off of the lenovos are that horrible side power button, so many of them break because if you open it up its actually a tiny mechanism that moves laterally to something that then moves down to switch the computer on, that tiny mechanism is fragile, not replaceable and so if you want to switch your computer on you literally have to drill a hole in your laptop and push the power on. It's such an absurd design flaw on such expensive machines that is so common and renders the laptop an expensive paper weight, it's not something that can be picked up in a short term review. Just have a regular power button you press.
For a utility standpoint, I disagree. The laptop sleeve in my camera bag is 230 mm deep, slightly rounded in the corners. The X1 Carbon Gen 11 barely doesn't fit because the large bezel above the display goes from end to end. The Gen 12 fits because it's a little shorter and the corners don't stick out as far as the middle, so the zipper doesn't try to close on the chassis corner. We know from Clevo's gaming laptops that a sloped peak for the camera looks about as aesthetic as a cybertruck. So their four options are (1) wasted space, (2) hideous slopes, (3) non-rectangle display, or (4) a bump. I wouldn't mind, though, if they lose the different shading/material on the camera extrusion. I have plenty else to complain about: keyboard changes, haptic pad being more useful than the trackpoint button pad, excessively loud bios beep, charging ports on one side only, display gamut and max brightness on non-OLED, lack of linux testing, no more text bios, can only hold 4 keys max, boot time can be up to a minute, bass is lacking, would rather have sd than hdmi, plus anything stemming from a microsoft decree such as the copilot button or modern standby Other than those few things, decent laptop...
@@wordlv Even with those discounted prices, they aren't worth what they are charging. Especially the high end thinkpad line. The yogas aren't too bad though.
