This review has been COMING UUUUUP! Been been waiting for your Lenovo review.

@TalynOne Месяц назад

This hits all the points I care about in an ultrabook. It's kind of insane to me people care about gaming on an ultrabook when that's never been the primary or even secondary reason to get one, people aren't buying Apple M series to game on.

@grgagabric4369 Месяц назад

Its not insane, because there are people that will primarily use laptop for productivity (like 99% of the time they use it), but still want to play light games from time to time. But yes, I get your point and agree with it. People expect these kind of laptops to do the stuff gaming laptops do, while also being light, portable and with long battery life.

@crystalskyes815 Месяц назад

I’m one that cares. But I’m not expecting to play cyberpunk on it. Just some lightweight 2D games. Think hades 2 is about the most intense thing I’d install.

@victorutomo7244 Месяц назад

Well, smartphones deliver a good game (graphic wise) in 1080p 60fps. Even more. So, why not a laptop? If Apple couldn't do it, doesn't mean the whole world either.

@TalynOne Месяц назад

@@victorutomo7244 depends on phone, and those games are built specifically for mobile, personally i dont game on my phone so i got the model with best battery, people who are looking to play cyberpunk with rtx maxed at 4k on a ultrabook makes about as much sense as buying a switch for excel and web browsing.

@vovkadsp4360 Месяц назад

@Antonis24 Месяц назад

@12:02 --> Thank you for including that your tests were done in performance mode. Some other tech channels omitted to mention in what power plan/mode their tests were performed, leading in confusion.

@rafaelperez9652 Месяц назад

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x brings a lot of new features to the table with AI being one of them. Gorgeous OLED display that can get super bright, very clear webcam and mics, decent speaker audio and excellent battery life at the starting price of $1199 makes this a very enticing product. As the technology matures, things will probably improve but it's certainly very interesting to say the least. Thank you Andrew for your supreme efforts! 👍😁

Let's go, getting home from work to another great video! I think my decision to go with the Surface Laptop, from both your reviews, and those of others like Alex Ziskind, seems to have been the best decision all round from what I have seen. Thanks again for the content. Much appreciated.

@thesetvids Месяц назад

I had the Lenovo long enough to do a first impressions video and then went and picked up the Surface Laptop. The better processor really makes a difference. And the finish on the Lenovo is awful. Fingerprint and smudge magnet

@samlys8 Месяц назад

watching this on my spanking new slim 7x. OLED touch screen is amazing. Was deciding between this and the surface pro 11 but went ahead with the 7x as the screen had no "grain" issues and the value is just unbeatable. Not going to pay 300-400 for a keyboard.

@vishalshrivastav0 Месяц назад

One of the best part about this laptop is that it doesn't have the ugly screen door effect.

@christians.8943 Месяц назад

I had this notebook for a day and returned it, because the display is basically a mirror. What good are the OLED-blacks if you can see your whole surrounding in those black parts? Samsung does a much better job at this. The Lenovo has the much better design and looks way more premium than the Samsung, but I went for funtion over form here.

@jdogschannel7933 Месяц назад

I think this is a great laptop for students! Great battery life, lightweight, and good performance all around! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@moviesynopsis001 Месяц назад

The non haptic touchpad and the vents on the bottom are a deal breaker for many. Not being able to comfortably use it while on bed or couch for fear of blocking vents is annoying. Anyone who uses a macbook air and relies on touchpad all day knows how important the haptic touchpad really is. For regular desk users this is a very good laptop, but I never understood why not just buy a regular pc if at a desk all day as you get so much power for the $$$ spent compared to this.

@jazenka99 Месяц назад

I played with all of the recent co-pilot computers, thanks Amazon. The only one I kept was the Levovo Yoga 7x. The keyboard is fantastic, the chassis perfection, the battery life nuts - customer service, better than most. I have had Samsung and Asus previously, both of which tried charging me more than the cost of a new laptop for repairs. Lenovo is the way to go - not a paid shill.

@ChrisCanadianHusky Месяц назад

Apple did the most amazing thing in 2020 when they released M1. I can’t wait for Windows to pick up on ARM chips, they are crazy good for battery, thermals and some power for moderate tasks

@ppd3056 Месяц назад

Hi thank you for a great review.. How would this laptop hold up in sunny outdoors situation? My current Lenovo has matte screen which I bought specifically for working outside.. Will the high nits rate cover for the glossy screen when working outside?

@radekwojcik967 Месяц назад

I wonder wether WiFi on these laptops works better than x86 - I get better reception on the snapdragon phone than on XPS13 plus. Also, my x86 laptops would sometimes say there is no internet on WiFi (until restart) while, the phone would be just fine.

@McDowell666 Месяц назад

Looks-wise I think this one is a close second to the Surface Laptop 7. IDK why they're making these displays touchscreens though; feels kinda pointless without pen support.

@Tigerex966 Месяц назад

OLED for the win and just $69 more for 32gb ram. Touch comes in very handy even without pen support. In video editing photos editing ai drawing and audio work with mixers drum machines instruments and plugin. And you can use generic pens as well for signing PDFs drawing etc. It gives your wrist a rest.

@popeye82 Месяц назад

Because glossy glass touch is way better than matte. Pen is useless for most purple. Touch is very very helpful. Matte is awful

@Tigerex966 Месяц назад

iPhone is touch screen not pen capable but Galaxy is and that open up more precise touch drawing etc. But the iPhone can still benefit from generic pens for more accuracy drawing and lack of fingerprints.

@NZtechfreak Месяц назад

Not having the layer required for pen means this one won't have the graininess people are complaining about with the Surface OLED model (have seen quite a few people exchange the OLED Surface for the non-OLED).

@williamcohen3351 Месяц назад

Nice pc. Camera and mics are good. Keyboard layout is good. Compatability issues are a negative right now. If one is intent on buying one of these and does not need one right now they should wait several months until updates and drivers are available. Great First Looks review.

@CF542 Месяц назад

I remember when Microsoft started moving to 64 bit Windows, very few drivers and software would work. This lasted for several years before it was resolved and i see this going the same way.

@sedij2358 Месяц назад

Great review. To be honest, I feel like the lack of a headphone jack is inexcusable. There is absolutely no reason why there can’t be one on pretty much any modern device and that includes smartphones. Even the thinnest iPhone, the iPhone 6, had one. That makes it all the weirder that some laptops lack one.

This is for sure my favourite snapdragon laptop! I love the Design on the new Yogas. Unfortunately as I’ll be video editing a lot which the new chips may not be capable of too well.. also, no headphone jack is a deal-breaker for me lol. I’ll probably go for the Thinkbook 13x :) Also, it’s very weird how the 2024 Slim 7 models are worse in a few ways compared to the 2023 one.. the 2023 had 6 speakers. New Slim 7i has a low res screen with only 60hz, otherwise I’d go for that

But one thing I'm going to need in the next model is excellent performance running software development tools like IntelliJ or Microsoft visual studio, docker, node, kubernetes, a database & a multi repo project. If surely get the 32gig ram upgrade & a 1 TB drive. Would have been nice if the GPU was a bit more powerful... Hopefully Snapdragon has plans upgrade the GPU in a later version of this. Chipset

Clean with ultra thin bezels and subtle branding is the best, if we can retire the sticker guy that would be awesome.

Not sure if I read this right, but it seems to me to be a product in beta. It may be OK in a few months but not now. Unfortunately companies have gotten us "trained" to see that as normal. I would be OK if some software runs slower until the next update, but a printer or external keyboard or speakers not working would bother me a lot.

@derJackistweg Месяц назад

I really wish it had at least the X1E-80-100 and a 120hz screen, maybe also a fingerprint sensor. Then it'd be perfect.

Such a shame that for such a sexy-looking laptop, the GPU is relatively lackluster and the software compatibility continues to be an Achilles' heel." By the way, have you reached out to the colorimeter manufacturers to see if they will release an ARM version of their drivers? That's something that you cannot really work around with Prism emulation-you need the ARM driver.
