If you're a heavy user and plan to have your laptop for more than 3 years, I highly recommend getting their 5 year Lenovo Premier Support plan if you buy a laptop from them. Their support is top-notch. They really want to please their customers. I have used my warranty numerous times and they were great. With the "Premier" support plan, they come to your home or office to complete the repair within 2 days. I've had a Gen 3 X1 Yoga, which has been fantastic, but began having some issues after a few years of heavy, daily use. They have been great in honoring their warranty.
Thats sick actually 👌
Thanks for the info 🙏
Does it matter where you live... would guess so ofc
Oh! Really ! 😮 !! Swear that u're not the son of d CEO of Lenovo 😂😂
Great info, thanks. Want to have a lenovo laptop or mini pc.
Whenever you think about business oriented laptops, Dell and certainly Lenovo comes to mind. Very positives are the matte display, crystal clear 1080p webcam and internal mics. The audio quality of the built-in speakers is good as well. The battery life is no slouch either. The fact that this laptop may not be the fastest, at the end of the day, for business oriented productivity, it will get the job done and that's all that matters right? Excellent review once again Andrew!! 👍😁
Been researching laptops for 2 weeks mainly for my Lightroom & PS photo editing & & some general use. Was pulling my hair out on what to get. (Too many reviews on all manufacturers options). Finally just built my unit on Lenovo website. Got this Gen8 with the 32gb, OLED & 2tb. Wasn't gonna check out once i seen the price but with the 40% discount code they provided (sales ploy😂) i hit the check out button. Thanks!
I have gen8 32RAM with OLED 4K. Prepare for 6h battery life.
@@shinybling6242 I was thinking about doing the exact same thing. Can you share you opinion on the build ?
Interested on how you’re finding the build, thinking about doing the same
Thanks for your comment. I just ordered a new X1 Yoga today, upgrading from Gen 5 to Gen 8. I'm disappointed that my Gen 5 is so slow at loading and editing RAW files. I hope that the Gen 8 will be signficantly faster. I ordered the 64 GB RAM with the idea that photo editing is RAM intensive. I'm sure hoping I'll see a big improvement from my Gen 5 with 16 GB RAM and a i7-10610 U processor.
@@bmwohlI learned that U in the processor indicates low performance, P or H is good for heavy tasks. Google the difference.
I really wish Lenovo did 3 things to the X1 Yoga series to make this the perfect laptop:
1. Rounded edges on the bottom of the keyboard deck.
2. Add a Micro SD card reader
3. Bring the weight down similar to it's sister version, the X1 Carbon.
hell no, we need better thermal... can't be lighter
@@marvinzhang3734 I don't disagree, but the thermal issue is not an issue with the weight or chassis design. Obviously AMD seems to have figured it out with their Ryzen processors. They run considerably cooler than their Intel counterparts. Thermals are Intel issues not Lenovo
Again a nice review Andrew, especially the added extra info cards is a great addition to your review videos 👍.
Keep the reviews coming! 😊
laptop fatigue. so many laptops, all alike. it's like choosing between 900 variants of vanilla.
Nice PC for those people who it's intended for. Camera and mics are good. Display good. Sound on it was clearly. This is obviously not the fastest in the world but it is plenty fast for the business user. Like the easy access to the insides. Great review.
Awesome review- watching to decide whether to get this or the X1 Carbon Gen 11 for my new work laptop- will check out the review for the other one. Sound and video quality of the laptop camera was awesome btw! 👌
same dilemma here :)
@sergejskorobovs8228 I decided on this in the end due to the display which I saw in person! Brighter colours and higher resolution on the Yoga Gen 8.
Thanks. Just ordered one.
Great job all round , and you ended on a good note for potential buyers like me.
Your reviews are always superb. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Great review men, thank for you work it was very helpfull for me.
Very informative and helpful
Great review - thanks!
I have an old X1 Yoga and one thing I don't like is that when I try to tap something on the screen, the screen bounces too much and my touches are not recognized. I either have to repeatedly try tapping lightly or hold the screen with my other hand to keep it from bouncing. I was wondering if this is still a problem with the Gen 8 model?
the camera sound is awesome!
I love your videos keep up the great work..
Nice review - thank you!
Hey Andrew, please don't forget to check how the mini display port on the Lenovo tab extreme works with windows or Mac mini pc
Ambient light sensor - is it there? Andrew, please, check it out. There is no one to ask about it, literally. Please :) I would really like to have that "Change brightness automatically when lighting changes" feature.
Great review. How do you think this performs with occasional Photoshop and Lightroom? I am interested in a laptop like this but do some occasional photography. Thinking this or the Dell XPS 13 Plus.
which 2 in 1 laptop would you recommend if it would only or mainly be used for photos and programs such as Lightroom, PS and Topaz. Thanks for your advice. Mvg Redgy (a guy from Belgium)
I'm in between Yoga 9i and this boy. Which option for business and entertainment.
I am the same @lunlin Any advice or feedback @Andrew?
Great review! Thx! ❤
Thanks for watching!
Hi Andrew. I know my question is not about this laptop, but I would appreciate your honest opinion. I can't decide between "2023 Razer Blade 14" and "Lenovo Slim Pro 9i (14")" with all available upgrades for both. Which one would you purchase for everyday use (games, photosh, internet browsing, etc.)?
Coming Up ❤
Is this good for Architectural designs and 3dxmas, lumion, cinema 3D and co
Excellent review
Hi Andrew,
Maybe it's still time to ask you a favor. Could it be possible to test de CPU and GPU performance of this machine, and more generally in the future, those 2 in 1 form factors, also in tent mode (with an external keyboard) because, as you know, heat, and therefore, fan noise, change a lot when the rear surface of the laptop is directly in contact with a table with a very small space for heat dissipation.
I know a little about it as I daily work with an XPS13 2 in 1 + 3 external monitors and it is (when the machine works...), from my point of view, the best solution to optimise the performance of those tiny machines at home 😉.
Thank you very much in advance and congratulation for all those reviews.
From France 🙂
Great review
1st of all thanks for your videos.
why nobody talks in deep about cpu models ?! the most important thing to consider for most user is CPU power, then comparing CPU models is the most important thing, so I really would like to see comparison of CPU for specific usage, for example is it good for virtualization or not ?
or how is Intel seri U vs other series or vs AMD seri I ?
these stuff is very important I really like to see these stuff in laptop reviews.
Which is best surface pro 9
- Yoga Gen 9 - Dell XPS 2 in 1?
Although they increased ram capacity in the x1 yoga but they decreased it to 16 gb in x1 nano
Yes, sad for that.
I almost purchased this laptop but the graphical performance was abhorrent and it really showed when trying to manipulate assets in Photoshop, editing websites, using Lightroom and such. I opted for the Yoga 7 16 inch with the AMD, far better performance at half the cost.
I really do not understand why Lenovo is hellbent with Intel when the AMD processors are far superior in performance from what I've seen in laptops.
I'm going to use it for Lightroom and photoshop too, hopefully you'll see this before Cyber Monday ends. How do you like the AMD Chip?
I ended up returning the Yoga 7 and getting a T16 with the AMD processor and 780M integrated card. @@johnryan296
Would you still recommend this compared to an ASUS ROG Flow X13 value-wise?
Buddie im happy that they doubled the ram capacity but they decreased it to half about x1 nano
Thumbs up...coming UP!
Thanks again!
When is next gen 9 coming out ? Is this better than dell xps 2 in 1?
Serious question. Do consumers buy these or only businesses at $1,721 or more. I'm typing this on my months old Dell Inspiron 14" 2 in 1 I got on a "flash" sale that came and went, for $549, free shipping. Does the screen suck? Well it's not the best color/saturation (very sharp though) but I've seen much worse, nowhere close to OMELED and yes I will upgrade when I can afford to do so. But the keyboard is the best I've used after touch typing on everything I could find including Macbooks, glass wrist and trackpad (not great haptic feedback), great sound and volume, and the overall build quality is punching well above its weight class. This Lenovo looks excellent, but just seems really far outside the price point for typical consumers. I've not typed on the X1's but the Lenovo keyboards I could find at Costco were horrible (mushy). Thanks once again for putting in the work on these reviews. I will definitely upgrade at some point when I can justify it. After extensive 2 in 1 use I'm sold. Right now I'm doing 105 online course hours for a license and having the ability to configure this in multiple ways means I'm at a desk, on my recliner, brushing teeth, in bed, in all sorts of content consumption positions that wouldn't work with a laptop or a tablet even. 2 in 1 is my new go to for sure.
Is it possible to swap the 2280 SSD with my 2242 SSD from my other Lenovo using an extender?
Can you tell me is it good laptop for doing graphic designing? Cuz i im looking a laptop regarding that.
Lenovo NEED to add another heat pipe and bigger fans to it....
Do you recommend the hp envy you unboxed last week? I bought it from best buy for $1090 as open box excellent. Idk if that's good or if I should return it once I get it tomorrow.
I do like it. I will have more to say on it soon.
i just bought the gen 3 for £170 the other day
To be honest, after having had several X-series a this point, the lack of a proper dedicated graphics card is what makes it hard to buy. Even a Nvidia 3050 would do.
P14 series is a good 14 inch dgpu

Hi, i got my Yoga X1 I noticed that at the top notch where the screen is it clicks. Is this normal? Or is it a screen issue? Before i start using it as my daily i wanted to double check. Can anyone confirm this is normal?
Hi, have you tried running Dex with it. Does it work?
Dex is Android based
i have it about a month, and battery life last definitely less than 5 hours with all battery savings configuration. Not recommend.
Hi but what specs are your yoga? I want to get one also
Pls review x1 nano
Yoga 7i 14 inch review plz 😐
this is a business laptop not a gaming laptop which is why you being elaborated on benchmarking (game) and video processing (artwork) is a mistake;
should have talked a lot more about appearance, utilities, use cases, usage experience
You mentioned that the unit has i7-1370P processor, but later in the benchmarking you said it's i7-1355U, which is correct?
Up to 1370P

Innovation = 0. I'm rocking the Gen 6 and marvelling at the iterations that appeared since. Same chassis, same meager battery life (definitely with the OLED screen), all they've done for the last two generations was slapping in a new CPU. Look, "don't fix what ain't broke", I get it, but you'd think they'd improved SOME aspect. A few more nits, so it can actually be used outside, maybe a 60 instead of the same old 57 Wh battery, but nope. At this point, they're not even trying anymore. I don't think progress was that glacial even back when that brazen IBM crew ran the shop.
Well the new Intel CPUs and the OLED screen both use less battery life so the 57 watt would be a decent battery for this laptop. So those are new. The OLED screen uses less battery than the old IPS screens and they're at brighter at 500 nits instead of the rated 400 nits which the new ones are at and your old one is using 300 nits. The 400 it's probably get closer to 385.
@@NinjaSushi2 Thanks for the feedback. I'm not getting my hopes up yet, but I will comb through more reviews. Still very glacial updates that almost rival Apple at this point.
