Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 Review and Comparison to older X1 Yoga 

Thank you Brian! I am using X1 yoga gen 3 and consider to change to gen 6. Your review is very helpful!

Thanks for this great review! That's really clear to see the differences between different machines!

Thank you for taking the time to make this review. Interesting to see the evolution of the X1 yoga, not many folk have the opportunity to do that comparison the way you have! Any comments on battery life or smoothness of operation? I appreciate as you have said that it is not your primary device. Not a bad one to have kicking around though surely.

Amazing review, ordered an X1 Yoga Gen 6 just now. Cannot wait for it!

Thank you for that reference link, it helped me determine that I won't be able to get the model that I wanted (32 GB RAM) here in the states.

It’s incredible that you have six X1!

Thanks for this great early review! The comparisons were very helpful! As of my current verification, going further from the PSREF, I found out that on the German and the Australian sites of Lenovo you can customize the machine, adding the PCIe 4 is a little over half a thousand AUD, so to speak, and maxing out the package is quite eye-watering :-D If at a later point you could really put the CPU through its paces, and let us know how it performs.

Thanks for the review, looking forward to my new Gen 6

Thanks Brian! big support on your page

Thanks for this video. Very informational and very helpful for my decision, what to buy from Lenovo.

Thank you for this video. Just about to get an X1 Yoga Gen 2 for 600. Highest configuration

Thanks for the review, Brian. As best as I can tell, if you have the 4k screen, you do not have a matte screen (which Lenovo calls 'anti-glare'); you have an anti-reflective screen which, regrettably, reflects pretty much ALL external light sources.

How is the battery life with the 4k panel?

Thanks for creating this video. It's gold for many of us trying to visualize the differences! I was wondering if you had any additional insight on the newer Gen 7 or Gen 8 X1 Yoga laptops. I am trying to decide between Gen 4 vs Gen 6/7/8 based on best value for a 4-5+ years laptop, and so far Gen 6 seems like the best although Gen 4 ebay prices are tempting. Gen 7 has 12th gen but worse battery and thermals it seems. Gen 8 looks good too but pricing. Also, do you recommend 16gb or 32gb for light coding and "future proofing"

Great review, thanks a lot!

Thank you for review Brian! Very interesting about WWAN that when this option chosen bottom plate was of different material in previous models. Was it like standard thinkpad material on the bottom and aluminium on the top? Wasn't it looking weird?

Thanks, Brian!

thank you !! great video !

Great Video. A bit more light would be nice to see the black devices better

VERY GOOOOOD. . U HAVE ALL GEN

OMG, u have all the generations...I am 6 generations behind u

This is great! Thank you

Do now comparison x1 ThinkPad Yoga 6 vs X1 ThinkPad Yoga 7 vs X1 ThinkPad Yoga 8, please! It will be necessar.

Hi Brian. Thanks for the review I'm new to these and only have a limited amount of money to spend. Is there much difference between the Gen 4 and Gen 6 ? Thanks

I really don't like glossy screen ... and you can't see it in your video. How glossy, or matte is your gen 6 screen?

Nowhere in the world is there a pre-built WWAN model! The CTO models in Australia don't have WWAN either - I wonder what's going on? (I'm waiting for one with a 5G modem).

Thanks for the video. I just ordered a ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6. I wanted to know if you kew if the Thinkpad Pro Docking Station (mechanical docking) was compatible with it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the review. Very usefull. How has fan noise been for you?

Thank you for this helpful review that also illuminates historical aspects. :-) Is there anyone else who would like a Yoga Thinkpad X1 with a 15" or even 16" screen? I always feel that 14" is a tad small to put several windows side by side when coding. Writing this with my Yoga C940 15".

How has the Yoga X1 hinges hold up to? I hear a lot of complaints about the Lenovo hinges breaking including Yoga. Is the new version of Yoga X1 version 6 hinges crack proof because of the aluminum base instead of plastic like some of the Legion models? This is the only issue that is making me hesitant to buy the Yoga X1. Thanks

Hey Brian, could you maybe elaborate how many computers (laptops and stationary machines) you have, how/for which tasks you use them and why you maybe even keep machines you don't use anymore? I would be interested because I always feel slightly guilty when I think about getting a secondary notebook, although my existing Yoga C940 one is only 14 months old and does everything I need. Always like to know about other people's computing habits and your seem to be special with that array of Yoga X1s. Did you buy them all by yourself? Personally I so far rather thought about getting computers fulfilling different roles, but specializing in one particular sort of machine would make you more of a connoisseur, I suppose. Best wishes!

Hi Bian, Excellent video! Do you know if YogaX1Gen6 has an LTE card slot inside? I bought one. But I am not sure if it comes with one inside or even with a slot, so I could insert a LTE card on it. Trying to find the answer maybe you could help me. Thanks

What specific purposes of your work organization do these Yogas fulfill instead of regular clampshell ThinkPads?

Hi can u maybe do a vid abt using this laptop a year later and how it holds up? I got this version 20XY004PMH

thank you!!

Please compare the performance of SSD PCIe 4.0 card with the previous model that run with SSD PCIe 3.0 card.

Have you had experience with the x13 yoga gen 2? More specifically how that keyboard compares to the x1 yoga gen 6 keyboard? Kind of a longshot but hopefully you have

Does the matte screen show scratches easily? Is it still glass or is it plastic on top? How is the pen like on the matte screen?

I buy new one X1 Yoga G6, but my battery live only 4,5 hours :(

How well does the touch (finger and pen) work with a 4k screen? I have touch on my 1080p 14" screen, and I misfire sometimes even on that...

or you could just open it up and add your own 2tb drive... They charge $500 dollars to go from 256gb to 1tb when a 2tb nvme ssd costs $400. just wow

battery life?

Both this and m1pro macbook pro cost same in india (14") which should I go for??

Is there PWM on the 4k screen? You can see it camera in slow-mo if it shows lines when lowering the brightness.

How does the pen work? How much latency is there?

Thanks for the video but may I know is there any heat issue or thermal throttling issue like the gen 3 have had? Or is it much improved now as it now it uses 2 fan.

If they just put the same materials on regular x1, this way I have to consider yoga 6 even I am not fan od convertible devices. What is better buying by your opinion. Regular carbon just do not feel good with that rubberized coating. Please advise

Is the x1 yoga a throw away after a year laptop?

oh you have every generation YOGAs

6 generation means ,,there processor of 6 gen ,,like core i5 6th generation,or core i 7 sixth generation?

can you sell me one of these..

You are rich guy ;)

Why you narrating the whole history of X1 Yoga laptops? Is anyone going to buy those Gen 1, 2 and 3 models. We can understand you're an X1 Yoga enthusiast, but stretching the video too long with this boring stuff is just annoying.

thank you!!!
