      True, I disagree with this particular shirt though: Current measurement is often done with resistors in the milliohms. Those are not futile at all!

    Having the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6, it's really awesome to see that the line is still going and still evolving. I do agree that the name change is better, since calling mine a Yoga has caused some confusion in the past. But it's been a great device (even if the 4K panel with Intel i7 11 series processor can put a strain on the battery). It's also great to see they now offer the trackpad without the physical buttons as well, increasing the size of that is a big plus.

    I got mine last week. Lovely laptop but I do not love the thing at the top of the monitor. The pen is a massive improvement. The keyboard is great but felt a bit different from the previous generation. I got the mat IPS monitor, and it was great. One question Lenovo, why no USB c on the right hand side?

    • @mikes8928
      @mikes8928 22 дні тому +1

      I find the change to an external pen to be a huge disappointment - it was always possible to buy a bigger, better pen for regular use but for me, a magnetically attached pen is just going to be an annoyance. The internal pen was always there when it was needed, and I'm sad to see that excellent aspect gone.

    More curious on the thermals. For the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, it was a thermal mess. I frequently get heat burns on the arm rest/body and it only performs ok-ish with 3 hours of battery life under full brightness.
    The Type C port is very fragile, and the hinge will get wobbly after a few weeks of use...

    • @nickmcmn
      @nickmcmn 20 днів тому

      I own the X1 Yoga's 3:2 cousin, the X1 Titanium. My experience with thermals is really similar to yours. Doing any task (even something as simple as web browsing) makes the fans rev up and it sounds like an F-16.

    @Noodles.FreeUkraine 21 день тому

    Thanks for the great review, Lisa. At least I can scratch my X1 Yogas off the list for good now. People who buy 2-in-1s like to use pens. With the silo gone and no pen around with a clip to properly carry it in a pocket, there's simply no reason to enforce that behavior by sending money to Lenovo.
    The pen may have been tiny, but it was always just there when you needed it without being afraid of losing it. We all know what magnetically attached means: it'll be gone in a hot minute if you don't constantly keep an eye on it. It can't be that they needed more room, there is still plenty of dead space around the battery, where they could have easily put a 60 Wh model.

    Great review! I'm thinking between this one and the HP Elite 1040 x360 G11. Have you tested that one and if so which would you recommend? Also I'm thinking if I should wait a year or so for the new generation of chips with better AI, but dont know if its worth it 🤔

    I really wish mechanical trackpads (like the one in the thinkpad S1 yoga) were more common... they make a lot more sense than clickpads, since they don't require as much pressure to actuate, and have a more consistent actuation across the pad... and by disabling "tap to click", you can essentially eradicate misclicks, by requiring force to click - one finger for left, two for right, etc, since you are no longer playing with time/pressure thresholds to do different things, you are doing different things, to do different things.

    That naming is confusing. At first I thought Lenovo made an X1 tablet again.
    But I think the yoga behind thinkpad was a clear name. The consumer yoga line is very confusing though.

  • @flexo6969
    @flexo6969 19 днів тому

    A dedicated place for the pen inside the laptop was such a big advantage, it looks like they are doing everything for people to stop using the pen for this device. It just makes no sense. They had a feature that was allowing them to stand out and now they are pretty much like any other 2-in-1 device with no dedicated place/garage for the pen. Yeah bad times. Unfortunately 2-in-1 devices from Lenovo are not getting better from year to year. I'm still using my old Thinkpad S1 Yoga from time to time (as my second device) when brainstorming / writing down ideas/sketches and it feels so much better compared to X1 Yoga 5th gen, yeah the pen tip position accuracy is not as good as on new Yogas but apart from that it is a much better experience when using a pen, I even found myself thinking that I like it better than apple pencil (apple pencil might be better for drawing but definitely not for writing down notes/ideas quickly).

    It*s your fault
    that I bought my first ThinkPad T480 years ago.
    After my second had USB issues i switched to HP (Specter5s and Elites the most).
    Since last year, I went back to Lenovo and have now a few Legions, Yogas and IdeaPads for me and my children.
    I guess most of the new generation is just bloat this year.
    I'll wait for next generation to see .. just look at the "mixed results" about Dragon blurbs etc.
    Greetings and best wishes from Germany.

    intel computers feel so out of place when compared no the new ARM chipsets. I mean a SnapDragon version of this would probably be faster, have twice the batter life, and not need those ugly vents on the back. Too bad there is no Linux support just yet, and that the Thinkpad keyboards are now crap. They should look at Thinkpads they were designing before they started to imitate Apple with aesthetics instead of functionality as a priority,
    Is time for Intel and AMD to either fix their chips and make them competitive again, or die.
