The standby issue has been around since Windows XP - back when I was a corporate tech guy we had one guy melt the back of an old school Latitude because of it. Typically this happens when you tell the system to go into standby and then close the lid before it finishes going into standby.
Thank you for mentioning the Modern Standby issues. I bought an XPS 17 last year and it suffered from overheating while "sleeping," freaked me out at first since I'd just spent like $2k on the machine and was worried I had a hardware issue. Turns out Windows' Modern Standby feature is complete trash, like you mentioned. Following the suggestions of what I read online, I just switched to Hibernate mode and it's been smooth sailing ever since. It is kind of a half-assed "fix" though, so I hope Microsoft fixes it since it's such a widespread issue.
I have a desktop PC from 2016 and can't get it to stay of after i put it in sleep, I have hybernate on which takes some time to finish with 32GB of memory but I'm always cutting the power now after the hybernate because otherwise it wil randomly tun on (sometimes it even tries to boot again just after the lights turn of). I always thought it was a problem with my motherboard (I already turned all the powerup options of, from USB, keyboard mouse and Network in the BIOS). But this kind of news makes me suspect windows still does something with the RTC power up options.
Not just the standby. Sometimes, if you close the lid before the laptop shuts down completely then the system will be stuck at the shutdown screen till you open the lid next time!
my hp omen 15 when i shut the lid still renders the game i have open i assume because the fans stay on and it's like a space heater when left either on a desk or in a bag.
On my Laptop I just removed Windows and Installed Linux. I use wine for when I need windows apps and if it's not supported on wine I just run it on a windows 7 VM (I don't even notice any performance issues on a ryzen 5 2500U)
Ya I just ordered the AMD version for $800. Was debating long and hard which gaming laptop to get, but any gaming laptop I saw that had a high quality screen and build quality was also going to be double the price. Granted, better internals too. But I'm mainly using mine for productivity, with a little Skyrim on the side.
As long as Alex is not the one reviewing it, I remember one of the most if not the most disliked videos on this channel is the one where Alex reviews a Thinkpad and he begged Lenovo to remove the iconic trackpoint, which considering both the fact that the ideapad lineup exists and the fact that a trackpad doesn't work with gloves on. If you remove the trackpoint from the ThinkPad, it is no longer a ThinkPad
That’s a damn fine laptop! I’ve loved my Legion 5 from 2020, Lenovo is a fantastic price-performance option for mobile computing. That screen is beautiful. Awesome first look as usual, Alex. If I could say one thing about the audio in this episode, however. Alex sounded a bit like he was in a box, like he and the mic were facing a plastic wall. That’s it. I did like the point of showcasing how the webcam reacts in different light scenarios. With how work-from-home is still very much a reality for many, I think webcam or screen specs and demonstrations in different physical environments outside of the studio lights should be highlighted more. Just some critique, my opinions mean squat but I thought I’d point it out
I think the difference between Canada and EU specced Yoga laptops comes mainly because of customers demand. In the EU, people buy Yoga for thin and light office machine. The best selling spec here is the i7 with no Nvidia GPU, which covers portability and office hours per battery life. Nobody really looks at the Yoga series as an entertainment tool, but rather as a trusty business tool.
My dad still uses his decade old ThinkPad. Old i5 served me well in some light gaming then. Honestly, still a decent feeling device and if he got an SDD and bumped up the ram from 8GB to 16GB, it would have still have a couple years of a decent experience left in her. Recently just upgraded a Dell workstation to replace my mom's Windows 7 Lenovo desktop. Specs were the only thing holding it down, clean boot and a Linux install makes them still very usable machines.
Agreed, stay away from Windoze and don't expect it to behave as fast or at the very modern tasks as the big monster modern CPU and even the Core2Duo's have lots of life left in them and 8Gb is enough even for pretty large browsing sessions... My laptops are a similarly old to yours i series and a core2duo - actually like the core2duo a little better despite being the 'same' machine - it runs a little cooler to the touch (they are passively cooled rugged suckers).
Honestly, I think the average person wouldn't even notice the fact that they're using Linux and the lighter distros just breath an extra few years into older devices.
Wow man get your dad an SSD, life is short, he aint got that time to waste, tf are you doing installing linux on workstations (nice) but not force feeding your dad an ssd and 16GB of ram lol
@@ignitionnight "ah yes, my opening of chrome took 2 seconds less. I hate this." Sure, buddy. I will specify the average person that does little if anything outside a browser.
Interesting note about this chassis: it's also available with an AMD Ryzen R7 7735HS CPU but has different names in NA and EU (Lenovo Slim Pro 7 vs Yoga Pro 7 14). Notebookcheck reviewed it and attested the AMD version really good battery life (13 hrs web surfing test), maybe even better than the Intel model. It's also available with the 120 Hz screen and the 3050, although only max 16 GB RAM (cause we can't have AMD have the same chances). It's kinda obscure and hard to find, but searching for '14ARP G8' will lead you to it. It's around 1,479€ in Germany, with the R7, a 3050, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD. A very nice device and the only real AMD rival of things like the XPS 15 while being much cheaper.
@LMG When providing specs on laptops you really should include what they are power limited to (i.e. 45W, 80W, 130W, etc.). This makes a huge difference in thermals and performance... there is no point in spending more on a high end laptop GPU if it is power limited to 80W, when it could go to 150W+... literally paying for nothing at that point. I know the laptop in this video has a lower-end GPU but the 3080Ti in the Razer Blade 14 vs Lenovo Legion series is a good example of why I commented/recommended this.
Agreed. Since laptop manufacturers can power limit the CPU and GPU - which is separate from _thermal_ limits due to the cooling solution - the actual performance might not match what you paid for. Laptop makers can be pretty deceptive this way, with marketing and configuration upselling components the machine isn't properly designed to handle. Thin-and-light laptops are the worst in this regard, naturally being less able to supply gigawatts of power and dissipate nuclear-level heat output of top-of-the-line components.
@@LizardVideoDude A good example for this is the fact that some laptops have 3050 in them, but they can cost from 700$ to even 1300$, and it's usually not because manufacturers overpay for their laptops, it's better quality of the components, better heat dissipation, higher power limits so better performance
non sponsored video: these speakers sound like crap and this webcam sucks >:( sponsored video: speakers are fine if you compare to old laptops and the camera struggles because of our lighting :3 i'm not being mean, i just find it funny though, love your work guys!
Yeah it's so obvious when they are doing. This channel is going the wrong way. Why by a lab with testing equipment when all you are going to do is biased reviews paid for by the manufacturer.
Normal review: « let’s compare the speaker to the dell! Oh wow it sounds really bad in comparison » Sponsored « hey it sounds just as good as top tier laptops from a few years ago :) »
Felt like Alex was making far too many excuses for the product all through that unboxing/first look... Then the conclusion "can't give it a thumbs up or down as it's a sponsored video"... I mean, if it was actually any good, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind you giving it the thumbs up. This is the problem with doing sponsored videos, you can't be critical of crap if they're paying you.
I bought the 7i with 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11300H, 2k glossy display, in March for around 650. So far the best laptop I have ever had, it is smooth, fast, and lightweight, I even use it for my graphic design activity. It's a very good laptop for the price, and I'm sure those ones will be even better.
I just got this laptop except with a 6900hs instead of the i7 and it is amazing, especially for $1200 on sale. The minuscule battery usage of the amd chip is crazy, i get through a full day with 60% left.
Is your version with the AMD CPU silent in office work and when watching UA-cam videos? My Intel version is often kicking in the fan for about 1 minute which is annoying … and also when booting windows the fans run on high speed for 2 minutes for no reason
Just bought this laptop (Yoga Slim 7i Pro X) with the very max possible specs: i7, 32 RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 3500 and a glossy touch screen. Impressions: 1. It's freaking loud and hot! The fan never stops on any Vantage power setting even when just browsing in Chrome or literally doing nothing! 2. As a result the battery drains at the speed of light. Four-five hours of browsing with max screen brightness and it's done. Maybe that's why Lenovo 'forgot' to stick in the Evo label... 3. It's shockingly powerful if you can bear the fan noise. Encodes vide as fast as my Corsair One with RTX 2800Ti. There is a of throttling and frankly I think it was an insane idea to put all this might in such a thin case. I'd prob say it's more of a desktop replacement than something that can be used on a sofa or on the go cause you will either melt your body parts or will constantly run around searching for a plug.
@@srenk9962 I think the RTX chip is part of the problem too. I suspect laptop chassis simply can't cope with a powerful cpu and a standalone gpu. Haven't tried ryzen, but in theory it should be better. I just didn't want any thunderbolt glitches, so went for Intel.
how do you like the keyboard? Coming from a Surface Book the Lenovo's I tried in a store nearby felt very cheap and plasticky. The touchpad I heard is glass as well, so that should be fine. And also not sure if I should go with matte or glossy.
@@drchtct Got a glossy screen and that's pretty similar to Dell XPS. Loving it. The body is 'teal' and I like that keys are non-glossy dark grey and don't shine in the eye. Keys are a bit soft to touch, not as snappy as XPS or Carbon, but it's not terrible.

The Ryzen 6800HS (Slim 7 Pro X, without the “i”) is going to be a much better fit for this laptop. Performance slightly lower but you get better temps and battery life. I hope that Ryzen 7 variants with 32gb RAM will be available in my country.
Lmao, you don't need more than 16G unless you compile very heavy stuff like android 12. For which you shouldn't be using a laptop anyway. WTF dude 32G.

Pretty sure you can avoid modern standby by using hibernate, which is superior in every way considering modern SSD based systems really have no trouble starting back up in under 10 seconds from hibernate.
Hibernate is great, Modern Standby can suck in the config that Microsoft has implemented as default, but can be quite a bit faster at resuming than Hibernate even with an SSD. I found that a great middleground is to disable Modern Standby's 'Network Connected' mode. This removes the battery drain/heating issues and leaves you with a very speedy resume from sleep. Still agree that hibernate has its own merits though
yes, but you'd actually have to go diving deep into windows menus to even make the option available to do that. I remember how much of a pain in the ass it was for me when I was trying to do the same thing. It's also just sad that it's a necessary workaround
In the windows settings you can replace sleep with hibernate everywhere so sleep doesn't even show up as an option anymore. That's what I did and I'm very happy with that decision. "Sleep" sucked.
Shutting down is also better than modern standby. But compared to what we used to get (S3 sleep), hibernate isn't better. 10s resuming from hibernate is fine, but I'd rather have the
@@ATKthesecond is 'modern standby' actually a setting name or just another name for Sleep?? Also I never had my laptop wake up randomly after I put it to Sleep, but yaah I usually preferred Hibernate too
I have a Yoga Slim 7i for about 2 years now and I just gave up on the standby thing and put it to hibernate at closing the lid, the SSD is good enough for it to wake up from hibernate really quickly anyway.
it's amazing that such beastly cpu and GPU are packed in such slim case, intel and amd has done their job now it's upto companies to design Innovative thermal and heat dissipation system on laptops that's where the real limitations is.
Yes Alex! Stoked to see you're calling out modern standby BS. What do we want? S3 SLEEP! When do we want it? Well it's been around since Windows 2k - so... just give it back to us...
Alex is right, near perfect laptop! Just ordered this with i7 12700H 32GB ram 1TB SSD, on sale for $1,210. Feels like I stole it! Lenovo is KILLING IT!
@ni007ck fair.... around 5 hours with productivity work if you don't want to lower the brightness to be dim. But you can't find much better than that for any laptop with a 12700H and Nvidia 1050 or better.
Alex, just a tip, the European version can also come with 32gb and a 3050, they just sent you the cheaper one I hate it when y'all do a video on this channel with basically 0 information on what you're looking at
I don't know which European version you had but the main difference here is that the Yoga Slim 7i Pro X is only available (for now, at least) with an AMD processor (Ryzen 5 6600HS/7 6800HS /9 6900HS ) and it has 3 screen options, including a touchscreen one. The top spec one with Ryzen 9 6900HS, RTX 3050, 1TB storage and 32GB RAM is 2400 €. At the moment in France they have some sort of coupon so you can get this for 1866.75 €
It's an amazing laptop. There are configurations with pretty much every current CPU, GPU or no dGPU that you could want and is also available at an even better price with student discounts. (~1500€)
I'm preparing my wallet for a new laptop and something like this would be perfect. I figured I'd need a new Ryzen RDNA 2 APU thin and light but this would be perfect honestly - even still have high refresh which I love.
I have Lenovo Ideapad 5 with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U,16 GB of RAM,512 GB of SSD,AMD Radeon Vega 8 igpu and Wifi 6 that i bought with 900 usd in my country,kinda cheap comparatively
Thank you for mentioning the modern standby. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Got to give laptop manufacturers a kick too tho - you can disable it modern standby with registry entry, but then s3 is disabled on firmware level because of reasons.
10:53, I think that's understandable, considering I don't know off the top of my head if there are sodimm ddr5 modules that support 6000 ghz, so I think soldered on memory is okay in this scenario
F.Y.I the laptop waking itself from sleep randomly is not a modern windows sleep issue. After the last video I tried disabling it to see if the exact issue I've been having with 6 laptops in a row now would go away and no it sadly did not. It's definitely not just a windows issue as well as one of those 6 laptops was a 12" Macbook A1634 which would do the exact same thing running whatever MacOS was current at the time.
Something I think you guys should look at for the repairability segment is the keyboard. My last Lenovo machine used plastic rivets to hold the kb in, awful for repairability. I hope they stopped doing that. I loved the keyboard but one liquid spill and a diy keyboard replacement later and it was just mushy as the entire board gets pushed downward by one key press.
I'm glad you mentioned modern standby. It is terrible. I have had to set my laptop to hibernate instead of standby when I close the lid just to avoid random power drains from modern standby! Worst "feature" ever.
I havent had many issues when running on battery, but my (admittedly 3 year old) XPS 15 runs hot and the fans almost always keep running for a significant period after closing the lid when it's connected to the adapter. Modern standby sucks ass.
You should ask Lenovo about getting your hands on a ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 when you can. It looks like the best implementation of dual screens in my opinion. For example, watching a video and handwriting notes with the pen sounds like a dream for students.
3:50 I love the symbols that you guys use for specs but having a SATA M.2 is slightly confusing. Might just be worth specifying with text what the interface is
Modern standby was a pain for my now many years old lenovo z500. I used it for college, and it randomly toasted everything in my bag. At least I got a warm lunch that way.
Lenovo it’s always been a reliable brand in terms of chasis building and materials. I bought a legion 7 3080 last year and it’s been by far the best laptop I’ve ever had
10:00 Modern StandBy - dude thank you!!! I was upset and confused about what could be the friggin' reason that was happening and I had no idea! I only had it happen on one laptop so I did not assume it's Windows related, that's just so dumb... also another thing to add on the list of Microsoft Windows fails these years. Since a few years back a reoccurring issue: on both PCs and laptops after I install the official GPU drivers, be it integrated or dedicated GPU, Windows Updates installs an older display-driver forcefully on top of the latest one I cleanly installed, resulting in problems and most notably black-screens after booting up and drivers loading into Windows. I bought cheap used "broken" GPUs that would give black-screen because I knew this would be the issue actually and the GPUs worked fine, lol. I always download DDU onto computers, left-corner Options and then select below option to Disable auto-install of drivers, so that windows doesn't forcefully break my drivers. Never had such problems before Win10, now this is an issue on Win10 + 11.
So depressing how fast tech is progressing, My once blazing hp 15 is now left behind as a crappy machine, “A 5500u” I thought “so splendidly new” But only a couple months later and it’s as old as the flu, Based on zen 2 I knew it was too good to be true, And as I view this Lenovo named 7i pro, I grieve and grieve painfully in sorrow.
Had a look at my 1060 the other day and thought hmm it might be time for an GPU upgrade, then I realized that not a single task/game I play need anything more so why spend money on something I won't see any benefits from at all. Do you need anything more than what you got? Or is it just a case of wanting the newest shiny thing?
@@Rick_Zune Well it might be a case of me missing out too late, I love tech and all the new features it creates, So I’m saddened that every plate of new tech that’s great, Is a piece of tech I’ll be to late to on it’s debut-date.
@@michealadebz I understand completly and I used to feel the same, but as time progressed I just ended up with countless boxes full of "dead" products that in the end didn't really do anything more than take up space. The 3D TV I never used 3D on, the projectors I used once or twice, the media players that play formats no longer in use, the phones that had cool gimicks I used once and so on, they are just sitting there in a box, looking neat and shiny in favor of something less fancy but more convinient. I guess I'm old, hehe, but damn even though new tech is just as exiting I'm to damm lazy these days to be an early adopter or try something a bit experimental and to be fair often the newest version of something is such a small upgrade that even though I want it I can't justify paying for it. Sorry for the long rant but reading your posts reminded me of my self in so many ways!
man windows laptops have come a long way... remember 5 years ago when they were chunky, plastic things that flexed and creaked when you touched them, with tiny trackpads and big bezels? awesome to see high refresh rates and 1440p displays making it into laptops these days, even non-gaming ones. extra pixels means more space for work and going from the 60Hz monitors in the office to my 240Hz one at home makes a massive difference even when I'm just working
5 years ago they were just as good. We still have creaky chunky ones made of plastic, it's the lower price brackets. Always has been. The reason people think they were crap is nobody was willing to spend the same on a windows laptop as on a macbook...
@@marcusborderlands6177 eh I had a MacBook pro in 2013, last of the magsafe ones. Cost me $2300NZD. Younger brother had a Vaio that cost $100 less, was twice as thick, plastic, awful trackpad, the display was 1080p IPS but nowhere near as nice and generally flexy and creaky, I think his CPU was a little faster but neither could game so it didn't matter to us. The crazy point was when the MacBook Air arrived, even with it's lame display it was full Apple build quality for the price of some pretty horrendous Windows devices There were probably nicer windows machines out there but since about 2015 they've completely transformed and now there are incredible options all up and down the price ranges. I have no love for Apple, or any big company, and I only use a MacBook now because it's a work machine and they provide them, but I am glad their laptops forced the windows manufacturers to compete on quality and build, we wouldn't have the XPS's of today if Apple didn't go ham back then
@@helplmchoking you should've checked out some other ones then, for example, the ThinkPad lineup... Were built better than anything else, were just as thin and powerful as the macbooks
Microsoft changed the game with the Surface line-up. The 2015 Surface Book already came with a 3000x2000p touch display, a glass touchpad and general premium feel like you'd only see in Macbooks. The hardware specs weren't great, but for work, content consumption or university it was great.
So, Lenovo called their convertibles Yoga because you can flip the screen around to tablet mode, and that's like yoga for laptops. And then here is this Yoga that does not do that. Great laptop, I like it, but why is it in the Yoga family? Either put it into the Ideapad line, or bump it up to the ThinkBook line (especially with this CNC-d chassis and the DTR CPU)!
Honestly the build quality of most lenovo laptops and their keyboards have been great from my experience. Granted so far only thinkpads, as work stuffs.
SOLD ! to the gentleman in the funny hat over there in the corner. Thanks for a very entertaining, informative and very interesting review. You helped me decide that this is the one for me. I'm going to buy one today. I've had a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s Core i5 16GB 240GB SSD for 3 years, so the Yoga i7 is going to be soooo much better. Really, can't wait. Thanks !
The days where you get a solid laptop for under 600bucks is long gone. I'm curious to know if there is any mid-high specced full plastic laptop, which is made out of quality palstics instead of cnc'd Al or something which is bound to put the min price at 500 just for the chassy.
1:55 Hate that you've just not addressed how flimsy the hinge is on that laptop, even though you opened it / interacted with it several times 2:49 even here, the screen was wobbling after one tap of yours and a few seconds later, you struggled to drag around the window because of hinge wobbling around so much. Might even go as far as to say this review is biased, due to the sponsorship
I know this is sponsored but can you at least and compare the speakers and the webcam to another laptop. Also check manufacturer's claims like the less than 1 delta e. Yes, I know this is just a unboxing channel, but it doesn't take forever, you can do it afterwards and let us know in the editing. The whole video is like a company employee showcasing. I'd rather read the Lenovo site, would have been faster.
I didn't realize the laptop turning on in a backpack was a widespread issue, I thought my laptop was just bad, glad (kinda) to know it is not just me!!
Oh my god. I've been wondering why my Zephyrus G15 on and suuuper toasty when i take it out of my backpack, and I now know why. Legit thought I had a faulty laptop or something. Nice (and sad) to know i'm not the only one having this issue
Lenovo made a pricing error on their website last month so I picked up a Yoga Slim 13 with Ryzen 5600u for £269 (about $300) should be worth almost $1000. It's faster than my $1000 gaming PC (I bought at peak GPU price time like an idiot) but the 13 inch size is not my cup of tea, I always end up going back to my old 15 inch slower laptop. Also the battery life was advertised as 9 hours but I get about 3-4 hours from just having a few tabs open even in power saving mode
Lenovo yogas are very well built. I have a very humble yoga 6 13" and it's built like a tank. It's a very humble system specs wise, but has a very solid build quality.
I was agreeing far more with Alex on the price while I was pleasantly surprised to see 1700, for that configuration it's probably closed to the 3K... so we were judging different things.
I can it say only for germany but most people don't want Glossy screen in Germany because it reflects you in the sun or in a bright room so most people pick a Matt display but I can only say it from my experience as a seller so I don't really have any numbers
By german work place law Laptops given out by a employer have to be matt. Macbooks for example need to have a matt foil installed. Exceptions apply to one of or speciality purchases.
Can't use size as an excuse for bad speakers after the 12 inch Macbook from 5 years ago. That thing still has better audio than 99% of windows laptops of any size.

As long as Alex is not the one reviewing it, I remember one of the most if not the most disliked videos on this channel is the one where Alex reviews a Thinkpad and he begged Lenovo to remove the iconic trackpoint, which considering both the fact that the ideapad lineup exists and the fact that a trackpad doesn't work with gloves on. If you remove the trackpoint from the ThinkPad, it is no longer a ThinkPad
The issue is that most people can't afford that one
That’s a damn fine laptop! I’ve loved my Legion 5 from 2020, Lenovo is a fantastic price-performance option for mobile computing. That screen is beautiful. Awesome first look as usual, Alex.
If I could say one thing about the audio in this episode, however. Alex sounded a bit like he was in a box, like he and the mic were facing a plastic wall. That’s it. I did like the point of showcasing how the webcam reacts in different light scenarios. With how work-from-home is still very much a reality for many, I think webcam or screen specs and demonstrations in different physical environments outside of the studio lights should be highlighted more. Just some critique, my opinions mean squat but I thought I’d point it out
I think the difference between Canada and EU specced Yoga laptops comes mainly because of customers demand. In the EU, people buy Yoga for thin and light office machine. The best selling spec here is the i7 with no Nvidia GPU, which covers portability and office hours per battery life. Nobody really looks at the Yoga series as an entertainment tool, but rather as a trusty business tool.
I was part of the validation of power and performance for the Yoga. Glad to see it finally out with the new SOC.
My dad still uses his decade old ThinkPad. Old i5 served me well in some light gaming then. Honestly, still a decent feeling device and if he got an SDD and bumped up the ram from 8GB to 16GB, it would have still have a couple years of a decent experience left in her. Recently just upgraded a Dell workstation to replace my mom's Windows 7 Lenovo desktop. Specs were the only thing holding it down, clean boot and a Linux install makes them still very usable machines.
Agreed, stay away from Windoze and don't expect it to behave as fast or at the very modern tasks as the big monster modern CPU and even the Core2Duo's have lots of life left in them and 8Gb is enough even for pretty large browsing sessions... My laptops are a similarly old to yours i series and a core2duo - actually like the core2duo a little better despite being the 'same' machine - it runs a little cooler to the touch (they are passively cooled rugged suckers).
Honestly, I think the average person wouldn't even notice the fact that they're using Linux and the lighter distros just breath an extra few years into older devices.
Wow man get your dad an SSD, life is short, he aint got that time to waste, tf are you doing installing linux on workstations (nice) but not force feeding your dad an ssd and 16GB of ram lol

Interesting note about this chassis: it's also available with an AMD Ryzen R7 7735HS CPU but has different names in NA and EU (Lenovo Slim Pro 7 vs Yoga Pro 7 14). Notebookcheck reviewed it and attested the AMD version really good battery life (13 hrs web surfing test), maybe even better than the Intel model. It's also available with the 120 Hz screen and the 3050, although only max 16 GB RAM (cause we can't have AMD have the same chances).
It's kinda obscure and hard to find, but searching for '14ARP G8' will lead you to it. It's around 1,479€ in Germany, with the R7, a 3050, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD.
A very nice device and the only real AMD rival of things like the XPS 15 while being much cheaper.
@LMG When providing specs on laptops you really should include what they are power limited to (i.e. 45W, 80W, 130W, etc.).
This makes a huge difference in thermals and performance... there is no point in spending more on a high end laptop GPU if it is power limited to 80W, when it could go to 150W+... literally paying for nothing at that point.
I know the laptop in this video has a lower-end GPU but the 3080Ti in the Razer Blade 14 vs Lenovo Legion series is a good example of why I commented/recommended this.
It's a sponsored ad, not a review.
good point, thx for this
that's the exact reason why better gpu in laptops doesn't really matter if it has bigger power limit and better cooling as you said
Agreed. Since laptop manufacturers can power limit the CPU and GPU - which is separate from _thermal_ limits due to the cooling solution - the actual performance might not match what you paid for. Laptop makers can be pretty deceptive this way, with marketing and configuration upselling components the machine isn't properly designed to handle. Thin-and-light laptops are the worst in this regard, naturally being less able to supply gigawatts of power and dissipate nuclear-level heat output of top-of-the-line components.
@@LizardVideoDude A good example for this is the fact that some laptops have 3050 in them, but they can cost from 700$ to even 1300$, and it's usually not because manufacturers overpay for their laptops, it's better quality of the components, better heat dissipation, higher power limits so better performance

I bought the 7i with 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11300H, 2k glossy display, in March for around 650. So far the best laptop I have ever had, it is smooth, fast, and lightweight, I even use it for my graphic design activity. It's a very good laptop for the price, and I'm sure those ones will be even better.
I think i5 will be better for thermal and battery tho. Still excellent laptop regardless...
I just got this laptop except with a 6900hs instead of the i7 and it is amazing, especially for $1200 on sale. The minuscule battery usage of the amd chip is crazy, i get through a full day with 60% left.
Is your version with the AMD CPU silent in office work and when watching UA-cam videos?
My Intel version is often kicking in the fan for about 1 minute which is annoying … and also when booting windows the fans run on high speed for 2 minutes for no reason
Just bought this laptop (Yoga Slim 7i Pro X) with the very max possible specs: i7, 32 RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 3500 and a glossy touch screen.
Impressions:
1. It's freaking loud and hot! The fan never stops on any Vantage power setting even when just browsing in Chrome or literally doing nothing!
2. As a result the battery drains at the speed of light. Four-five hours of browsing with max screen brightness and it's done. Maybe that's why Lenovo 'forgot' to stick in the Evo label...
3. It's shockingly powerful if you can bear the fan noise. Encodes vide as fast as my Corsair One with RTX 2800Ti. There is a of throttling and frankly I think it was an insane idea to put all this might in such a thin case.
I'd prob say it's more of a desktop replacement than something that can be used on a sofa or on the go cause you will either melt your body parts or will constantly run around searching for a plug.
Thanks, I guess I'll be going for the r9 6900hs version then. That shouldn't suffer from those problems, as it is due to the intel processor, right?
@@srenk9962 I think the RTX chip is part of the problem too. I suspect laptop chassis simply can't cope with a powerful cpu and a standalone gpu. Haven't tried ryzen, but in theory it should be better. I just didn't want any thunderbolt glitches, so went for Intel.
how do you like the keyboard? Coming from a Surface Book the Lenovo's I tried in a store nearby felt very cheap and plasticky. The touchpad I heard is glass as well, so that should be fine. And also not sure if I should go with matte or glossy.
@@drchtct Got a glossy screen and that's pretty similar to Dell XPS. Loving it. The body is 'teal' and I like that keys are non-glossy dark grey and don't shine in the eye. Keys are a bit soft to touch, not as snappy as XPS or Carbon, but it's not terrible.

The Ryzen 6800HS (Slim 7 Pro X, without the “i”) is going to be a much better fit for this laptop. Performance slightly lower but you get better temps and battery life. I hope that Ryzen 7 variants with 32gb RAM will be available in my country.

Pretty sure you can avoid modern standby by using hibernate, which is superior in every way considering modern SSD based systems really have no trouble starting back up in under 10 seconds from hibernate.
Hibernate is great, Modern Standby can suck in the config that Microsoft has implemented as default, but can be quite a bit faster at resuming than Hibernate even with an SSD. I found that a great middleground is to disable Modern Standby's 'Network Connected' mode. This removes the battery drain/heating issues and leaves you with a very speedy resume from sleep. Still agree that hibernate has its own merits though
yes, but you'd actually have to go diving deep into windows menus to even make the option available to do that. I remember how much of a pain in the ass it was for me when I was trying to do the same thing.
It's also just sad that it's a necessary workaround
In the windows settings you can replace sleep with hibernate everywhere so sleep doesn't even show up as an option anymore.
That's what I did and I'm very happy with that decision. "Sleep" sucked.
Shutting down is also better than modern standby. But compared to what we used to get (S3 sleep), hibernate isn't better.
10s resuming from hibernate is fine, but I'd rather have the
@@ATKthesecond is 'modern standby' actually a setting name or just another name for Sleep??
Also I never had my laptop wake up randomly after I put it to Sleep, but yaah I usually preferred Hibernate too
is lenovo ever going to comment on availability for this machine? They said June 2022 which has since passed. Set a release date already
3.19 lbs is the starting weight with integrated graphics. The dedicated graphics models are almost 3.45 lbs.
Is this the one from the UA-cam commercial "We are fascinating - but we also do this" *spills coffee* 😅
I have a Yoga Slim 7i for about 2 years now and I just gave up on the standby thing and put it to hibernate at closing the lid, the SSD is good enough for it to wake up from hibernate really quickly anyway.
it's amazing that such beastly cpu and GPU are packed in such slim case, intel and amd has done their job now it's upto companies to design Innovative thermal and heat dissipation system on laptops that's where the real limitations is.
gotta love how I'm going to college in the fall and both the new run of G15s and this laptop won't be released until I already needed them

Yes Alex! Stoked to see you're calling out modern standby BS.
What do we want?
S3 SLEEP!
When do we want it?
Well it's been around since Windows 2k - so... just give it back to us...
Alex is right, near perfect laptop! Just ordered this with i7 12700H 32GB ram 1TB SSD, on sale for $1,210. Feels like I stole it! Lenovo is KILLING IT!
Damn, I need that kind of sale in my life
How's the battery life on the i7 ?
@ni007ck fair.... around 5 hours with productivity work if you don't want to lower the brightness to be dim. But you can't find much better than that for any laptop with a 12700H and Nvidia 1050 or better.
Alex, just a tip, the European version can also come with 32gb and a 3050, they just sent you the cheaper one
I hate it when y'all do a video on this channel with basically 0 information on what you're looking at
I don't know which European version you had but the main difference here is that the Yoga Slim 7i Pro X is only available (for now, at least) with an AMD processor (Ryzen 5 6600HS/7 6800HS /9 6900HS ) and it has 3 screen options, including a touchscreen one.
The top spec one with Ryzen 9 6900HS, RTX 3050, 1TB storage and 32GB RAM is 2400 €. At the moment in France they have some sort of coupon so you can get this for 1866.75 €
How should you decide between Intel and AMD? Is it better to have thunderbolt??
It's an amazing laptop.
There are configurations with pretty much every current CPU, GPU or no dGPU that you could want and is also available at an even better price with student discounts. (~1500€)
Alex is promoting the heck out of this thing
Imagine how impressed he would be with a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5

I'm preparing my wallet for a new laptop and something like this would be perfect. I figured I'd need a new Ryzen RDNA 2 APU thin and light but this would be perfect honestly - even still have high refresh which I love.

F.Y.I the laptop waking itself from sleep randomly is not a modern windows sleep issue. After the last video I tried disabling it to see if the exact issue I've been having with 6 laptops in a row now would go away and no it sadly did not. It's definitely not just a windows issue as well as one of those 6 laptops was a 12" Macbook A1634 which would do the exact same thing running whatever MacOS was current at the time.

Something I think you guys should look at for the repairability segment is the keyboard. My last Lenovo machine used plastic rivets to hold the kb in, awful for repairability. I hope they stopped doing that. I loved the keyboard but one liquid spill and a diy keyboard replacement later and it was just mushy as the entire board gets pushed downward by one key press.
I'm glad you mentioned modern standby. It is terrible. I have had to set my laptop to hibernate instead of standby when I close the lid just to avoid random power drains from modern standby! Worst "feature" ever.
I havent had many issues when running on battery, but my (admittedly 3 year old) XPS 15 runs hot and the fans almost always keep running for a significant period after closing the lid when it's connected to the adapter. Modern standby sucks ass.
ah yes, 1600 MHz, truly blazing speed
Yeah good thing they subtitled the correct 6000MHz
On ddr3 days probably
Lenovo has come outta NOWHERE with way beyond performance

You should ask Lenovo about getting your hands on a ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 when you can. It looks like the best implementation of dual screens in my opinion. For example, watching a video and handwriting notes with the pen sounds like a dream for students.
3:50 I love the symbols that you guys use for specs but having a SATA M.2 is slightly confusing. Might just be worth specifying with text what the interface is
11:45 It send like Alex was actually spot on with his price guess, but he was just guessing in Canadian Dollars instead of US
Modern standby was a pain for my now many years old lenovo z500. I used it for college, and it randomly toasted everything in my bag. At least I got a warm lunch that way.
I remember being in college 5+ years ago and having the same issue. I can't believe it's still there.

10:00 Modern StandBy - dude thank you!!! I was upset and confused about what could be the friggin' reason that was happening and I had no idea! I only had it happen on one laptop so I did not assume it's Windows related, that's just so dumb... also another thing to add on the list of Microsoft Windows fails these years. Since a few years back a reoccurring issue: on both PCs and laptops after I install the official GPU drivers, be it integrated or dedicated GPU, Windows Updates installs an older display-driver forcefully on top of the latest one I cleanly installed, resulting in problems and most notably black-screens after booting up and drivers loading into Windows. I bought cheap used "broken" GPUs that would give black-screen because I knew this would be the issue actually and the GPUs worked fine, lol. I always download DDU onto computers, left-corner Options and then select below option to Disable auto-install of drivers, so that windows doesn't forcefully break my drivers. Never had such problems before Win10, now this is an issue on Win10 + 11.
I love how LTT isn't testing any AMD 6800H/U laptop because it would punch in the face of their best friend, Intel
Windows modern standby has been a thorn in my side all the way back in 2016

I grieve and grieve painfully in sorrow.
Had a look at my 1060 the other day and thought hmm it might be time for an GPU upgrade, then I realized that not a single task/game I play need anything more so why spend money on something I won't see any benefits from at all.

man windows laptops have come a long way... remember 5 years ago when they were chunky, plastic things that flexed and creaked when you touched them, with tiny trackpads and big bezels?
awesome to see high refresh rates and 1440p displays making it into laptops these days, even non-gaming ones. extra pixels means more space for work and going from the 60Hz monitors in the office to my 240Hz one at home makes a massive difference even when I'm just working
5 years ago they were just as good. We still have creaky chunky ones made of plastic, it's the lower price brackets. Always has been. The reason people think they were crap is nobody was willing to spend the same on a windows laptop as on a macbook...

Younger brother had a Vaio that cost $100 less, was twice as thick, plastic, awful trackpad, the display was 1080p IPS but nowhere near as nice and generally flexy and creaky, I think his CPU was a little faster but neither could game so it didn't matter to us. The crazy point was when the MacBook Air arrived, even with it's lame display it was full Apple build quality for the price of some pretty horrendous Windows devices
There were probably nicer windows machines out there but since about 2015 they've completely transformed and now there are incredible options all up and down the price ranges. I have no love for Apple, or any big company, and I only use a MacBook now because it's a work machine and they provide them, but I am glad their laptops forced the windows manufacturers to compete on quality and build, we wouldn't have the XPS's of today if Apple didn't go ham back then

Lenovo made a pricing error on their website last month so I picked up a Yoga Slim 13 with Ryzen 5600u for £269 (about $300) should be worth almost $1000. It's faster than my $1000 gaming PC (I bought at peak GPU price time like an idiot) but the 13 inch size is not my cup of tea, I always end up going back to my old 15 inch slower laptop. Also the battery life was advertised as 9 hours but I get about 3-4 hours from just having a few tabs open even in power saving mode

You should review the Samsung book Pro. Not for gaming but it is lighter than an Ipad and except the camera is amazing. Even LTE coectivity
the fact that a laptop is laster than my desktop from a few years ago blows my mine ( 7700k and 1080ti )
