Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 370 Review 

are you getting one? I haven't watched this yet but am hoping to get a used one soon

@@matts4025 Totally right!

You are right ! I just bought one used yesterday and I'm waiting for it to come !

@@lululock How much you paid for it? I have it as an working laptop and I have the chance to buy it as it's out of warranty, I didn't receive yet a price.

@@13ote I got it for 350€ but it was far from being mint...

Despite its age, I consider to by a x370 after year or two ;). My older thinkpads are working fine for now.

Thank you for this review. Im on a budget and am thinking of buying a used ThinkPad. My current one in from Lenovo too and the lifespan is good (it is 8 yo now). I think I've made a decision now. 😃 Oh, does it have any problems with overheating?

Dame dud

zebble ganubi hey how was your experience with 260 I need to use basically for ms office I travel a lot hence need something light , is the key board too small for typing

The Thinkpad Yogas have great keyboards. It's one of the things I miss the most when I traded mine in.

It's a Sony wireless mic for use with their dSLR cameras.

I'd be interested in this, too.

There is no such.

Yes, I'd say this is a good alternative, other than no dedicated graphics option (as you noted, the dGPU options are pretty weak in this size anyhow).

thanks for the reply, and best wishes on your trip to Japan.

Anthony Iatropoulos I’m personally going to wait. The 8th gen will give us 2x the cores in the same ULV segment.

Anthony Iatropoulos there are some Dell laptops that have the new 8th Gen ULV quad cores

I'm looking for the 45W CPUs which are supposed to be hexacore

agree… utility wise its good but it doesnt look cool nowadays. hahaha

I would love it if 16:10 became the norm again instead of 16:9

I think so

i dont think theres a whole lot to compare. the x1 yoga is a 14 inch, full keyboard, while the 370 is a 13 inch with some smaller keys, and has lift and lock instead of the wave lock. and yea upgradable ram. they seem pretty much the same apart from that.

Don’t forget the OLED option on the x1

Wait 5-10 years you'll be able to pick one up on ebay for around $150-200 LOL.

And no LTE if you’re in the USA! What the frack Lenovo?!!!!

Well, if you think about the wacom equivalent, which is pretty much the only competitor, yeah its a reasonable price. Laptop size screen pen digitizers arent cheap.

Joshua Stephens wacom the only competitor? Plenty of good 'digitizers' in this price class.

I'd rather get the Zenbook Pro UX550

The company I worked for switched everyone to Dell's, and then to Toshiba's.

Guillermo F Seiei Just the way companies work. An RFP goes out then they make a decision. It's not necessarily a decision based on the best product. Most likely it's the best deal they can get with an option to take them all back after 3 years to trade them in for upgrades.

HomeAutomationX you're profile picture is so distracting ...then I noticed your channel

the Thinkpad T420 is still a decently made Thinkpad and it was fully made by Lenovo.

Bingo.

I am about to purchase one do u recommend it??

@@Felipe-is3xi Yep. I use the touch screen way more than I thought I would to quickly draw something and the overhall performance (WiFi, CPU, RAM) are good enough to do 3D modeling, dozens of Chrome tabs or some light video rendering. But it gets fairly hot. The autonomy is adequate to, plus it supports Type-C charging. At that price point (payed a bit over 300€), it's a gem.

Did you ever get these issues resolved? I'm thinking about a purchase and don't would prefer to avoid a bunch of problems.

Never managed to solve the issue. Got in touch with technical support of Lenovo, they tried to solve it via remote, but could not, so they issued a DOA certificate (dead on arrival), with it, I was able to return the device even if my two weeks return time period had expired. I got my money back, (it took some weeks), and in the meantime bought a new device. (exactly same model). The device was problematic, but customer service was very good. Though their proceedings were time consuming. I could save some time by making the purchase of the second device before having had my initial device money returned. Also, I had bought the initial device with a temporal discount on the official site, so in the second device, though i paid more, they agreed to offer me a "match price", again, i had to wait for the actual partial devolution to be done on my account, but Lenovo´s attitude was always positive. I also got a 5% extra discount on the match priced, for the troubled (again, it took some time to actually get the partial refund on my account). As i had bought my device with Microsoft office 365 for a year, and did so also in my second device, even though I returned my initial device and got a full moneyback, Microsoft did not cancel my subscription, and it simply added an second year to my account. So that was another positive feedback on top of the 5% discount! Still, to have this issues on a Thinkpad, was unthinkable when IBM owe it. The actual frame of the first laptop screen had a slight missalingment from day one, which bothered me, but I never thought it would present an actual issue (it did). I guess the screen had a physical defect on assembly, but I am not sure, it might still have been a software issue. The remote assistant I got from Lenovo did not check half of the things I did before declaring it DOA! They did not seem to have the expertise i had imagine, still, though Lenovo could not solve the issue, they at least offer a solution. Any how, so far so god with the new device. I notice a slight missalignment on the fingerprint hardware, but it has not translated into nonfunctioning. This things don´t happen with Apple devices (I´, not an Apple fan, but one has to admit that Apple devices simply do what they are suppose to, in a beautiful manner). Also, I wish I had bought the Win 10 Pro, instead of the Home version. I did not found the Win 10 Pro selling points/extra features useful for my use, but I now know of a feature they don´t really publicise, but I wish I had... the possibility to "postpone" installation of windows updates. The Home version is very limited in this sense, and due to the existing possibility that my screen issues were the result of a conflicting Win update, is a big handycap not being able to control downloads and installments of win updates. (edit) PS: I bought my device in Spain. Lenovo outsource´s its distribution through one exlcusive authorised distributor here, and they also outsource their technical support to another company, and their main logistic and technical centre is in Germany. That is one of the reasons for it to take so long between the point they agree to a solution to any risen issue, and the actual execution and implementation of it, delaying the actual resolution!

Thirsty Fox search the new mi notebook pro. It will ship with the new intel.proc :)

Thirsty Fox and it's the same price as this one

AKA Kabylake R/Refresh. And not Coffee lake. AKA 8th gen is going to be a mix generation on the mobile side with both Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake.

FLOODOFSINS - she has dropped one on a table before and states it is tough.

Dr. donna Walter please provide link

FLOODOFSINS - I believe it was the review she did on the ThinkPad Yoga X1 Carbon.

Mark O looking at the way Lenovo has s,owly been raising prices, but giving less cpu and gpu power in return, I'd say if Lenovo makes what you want it will end up being more expensive then the wacom :-)

What about the Yoga 720 15? Quad-Core i7, 1050, up to 24Gb of RAM, large-ish battery, 15.6 inch 4k IPS display, Wacom AES-digitizer.

Es3iya Well, a Yoga Book more powerful than an atom at least

Julian Herzog she usually tests them around 150 nits of brightness

It geht's onto 7 hours but IT of course you have to know what you would use it for and because of this IT could get a litte Bit less.

So I can rest my hand heavily on the screen for hours when doing art. It's a popular thing for artists to do, so you don't get problems from occasional palm rejection misses. Also, that way palm grease doesn't get on the screen.

Yes, their founder tells me it's still coming. They've been doing some minor changes to the unit and are holding off on sending out units until done.

That's great, thank you.

Thanks for that input. I have a feeling it's actually sold separately.

Bought mine in South Africa and got the Ethernet and USB C to VGA adapter in the box. Could be a market thing

I checked at Lenovo's website for my country (note: I ordered mine elsewhere) and these are the options: i.imgur.com/73doebb.png No adapter at all is not one of the options, yet I got nothing. Oh well, ordered a 3rd party multifunctional usb-c thingy anyway. Has all those things in one package (except native ethernet).

Kenny Schiff you could chang the ssd for one terrabite ssd but you will have to research wich fits

Nope , abt 1430g

No you cannot. You must wait to get a job first.

@@Kiev-en-3-jours 🤣🤣🤣

yes i recently purchased mine, very good

@@Kiev-en-3-jours it's like used and cheap

The mini-ethernet port is here because there is not enough space for a full size., but it still provide native ethernet which allows wake-on-lan, and use the PC MAC adresse, instead of the MAC adresse of the USB dongle. Native ethernet is maybe not a big deal for consumers, but its valuable for business, and its a thinkpad after all.

sounds like a fair reason. Thank you for the answer!

I still use my Ethernet port in my Dell Latitude E7270. Not for business I might add, because I'm 16.

Joseph, your Dell E7270 has a standard size ethernet port that is most commonly used worldwide, unlike the micro ethernet in this Thinkpad that almost nobody uses. You then need an adapter anyway. I also enjoy having an ethernet jack on my Thinkpad dock. So my reasoning was rather simple. Why not just put a universal port for various devices as there aren't too many ports on this laptop, but as Arzolt stated, having a MAC address tied to a machine is important in some business environments. This is hardly of use for a regular home user and a USB-C would be a better option any day for that. I should also add that it's pretty difficult for me to see this laptop as a business machine as it's feature set could comfortably suit some creative professionals who also desire the durability and ergonomics of a Thinkpad.

Arzolt - correct - when away, especially at a business conference at a place such as Vegas where there are usually several going on at once, the wireless gets bogged down and Ethernet seems to work better/faster.

I think it really maybe the i7. I have an X230 with an i7 and it exhibit same behavior.

I have x1 yoga 2nd gen with i7 7500u in it. I dont really have issues with the fan noise (maybe i'm used to this noise level). But it's quite usual to have loud fans if you have a processor with higher frequency in a such small laptop like this.

But the fan shouldn't kick in when I'm charging, opening Firefox or the file explorer (this happens to me on a regular basis), regardless of the processor

Jonas I didn't experience that. Maybe you should try to upgrade the bios with the program on the lenovo support website. In one version they claimed that they have solved the problem with the fans.

Charging a battery generates heat. Is the fan still at full speed when fully charged, plugged and idle ? Also have you check bios setting ? my x220t have an options for the behavior of the fan when plugged or unplugged.

If you like using the little red nub - then pick the lenovo (i'd pick it too!). If not, then the spectre because of the touchpad.

Lmao imo I hate the nub, but to each their own.

It's coming! Have it in house.
