Thanks so much for this video! I love Lenovo laptops, but I never really knew the difference between them. Really informative, and I liked the clear and nice editing. Great job! :)
Thanks for the video. I've just bought a Thinkbook on sale since I've got an older X1 Carbon for work and I love it, so I was interested in what the differences were between the Thinkbook and the Yoga (since I didn't realise that the "Thinkbook" class of Lenovo laptops existed until I found a bargain on one 😂)
Ports and battery life. Not a fan of carrying extra load, especially when I forget them. Not planning on using a thinkbook for content consumption, so I can somewhat justify the colour accuracy and sound. The camera is very bad on the thinkbook (at least on mine anyway). The thinkbook feels really solid, it puts my zenbook to shame.
Battery life for me too for sure. I use an external camera when I need it, so that was never a concern. I am still using the ThinkBook too, and it has held up really well.
Good question. I am still using the ThinkBook everyday here 18 months later, and it is still perfect. No wear and nothing not working. I don't travel with this machine though, so it does have a gentle life, but so far so good.
@@intrvrtdpyrldblog6568 I essentially use my new ThinkBook for nothing but travel. It travels with me in a reasonably padded laptop sling backpack; I am also a pretty careful user taking care to handle the laptop properly and not dropping it down on a surface or opening the cover from just a single corner. It performs very well for me and I have experienced no hinge issues at all. So far, very happy with my choice and it's been a little over 8 months now.

Thanks Dennis. Appreciate it 😊 The wallpapers on the laptops were the default for the machines. There are a lot of official backgrounds here though: wallpaperaccess.com/lenovo-official
Which Lenovo should I buy? I work with students with special needs and disabilities. I make my powepoints at home and stream to a SMART board at work. I use Microsoft office, and watch TV videos. I like a touch screen. Don’t think I like the 2 in 1. Which should I buy? Thanks I am so confused.
Hi Pauline. I don't blame you. It does get confusing. Based on your info provided, I'd consider a ThinkBook or Ideapad. They will do what you ask, and both have touchscreens.
@@Learningworlds123 That is a very broad question. What do you want to do? Which tools? How much data? Usually data analytics are done online and the laptop is just a thin client for it.
same question here too... with data analytics.. not all are done online.. we handle so mich tools that we download ... ans we handle many spreadsheets .. i had experience i need to run sheets and multiple tabs of websites.. abd device is bugging... what do you recommend on thse kind of tasks??🙏
It really depends on what your work is. If it is computing intensive, such as video editing or programming and compiling, perhaps a ThinkPad. If it is more websites, Zoom calls and document management, then probably the Yoga or even IdeaPad.
@@dillmanfamily7207 Excellent. For that you don't need to spend a whole lot. Most new laptops can handle that (if not all), so a base model IdeaPad would work.

I mean i do not genuinily understand some people. Laptops sometimes have indentation in the middle of the screen. Middle of the screen. This is to suggest people that a screen should be open pulling form central part. And still is ee reviewer cruchjng their finger trying to grab RIGHT part of screen with no indentation. This is a simple example on jow people continue to do same and same.misrake than complain about hinges when they broke. I changed 5 laptops in my life none had ever hinge problem and no one of the people thaK know like friends ever had any issue because all knows how to open a screen. Just starting to show how to open a screen in a review would be good, this is basic care tips. is not that difficult.
I mean, I genuinely thank you for watching. Laptops have indeed indentations and in fact I use them in this video at 3:45 (just slightly off center), 5:59 (exactly in the middle), 8:30 (just off center), 11:41 (exactly center), 12:04 (exactly center), 12:20 (exactly in the middle). I am not cruchjng anything at all, but I appreciate that a member of the Laptop Lid Supervision Bureau (LLSB) is looking out for users and enforcing the correct standard for such important actions. In fact, this should be part of any good education. It is not that difficult.
It's true that like many companies, Lenovo has faced its share of quality issues from time to time. However, overall, Lenovo is recognized for its high-quality and durable products. They consistently strive to enhance their technology and customer satisfaction. If you have specific concerns or examples of these issues, could you share some links? It would be great to discuss them in more detail and see how they've been addressed.☺
@@LarsKlintTech It's just my own experience. My wife and I had two different notebooks from Lenovo and after two years both had serious display issues which made them unusable. After one was sent for repair we've got it back having the same result two months later.
@@knofi7052 I agree, that isn't a great experience. I've had a number of Lenovo devices, and I think two of them have been sent in for repairs, and one died after about 4 years of use.
@@knofi7052 it is true for any company. I have faced issues with HP, but the Lenovo product I used never had a problem. I think these problems are general to any brand.
Great video Lars as always, I'm a big fan of Lenovo laptops too. I use a Thinkpad for work and have a few Lenovo Yoga tablets around the house.
Thanks Paul 😊. One of my next projects involved three Lenovo tablets as well 😏.
Finally somebody talk about this topic... thanks for shearing experiences.... ☕️☕️
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Petra, and I am very happy you liked it. I also love Lenovo laptops, but even I was struggling sometimes to see the difference.
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for

You are most welcome Michael. I still use mine almost every day, and hasn't missed a beat.
Would you reckon the ThinkBook would be good for music production? i7-1165G7 with 16GB RAM, 11th Generation.
I am really not sure. I wouldn't think audio/music production requires a whole lot of resources, so you could possibly use it for that.

Any issues or concerns with the hinges on the Thinkbook? I had been considering an Ideapad Pro 5i, but the reviews showed a poor hinge design.

Thanks for the feedback. I just pulled the trigger and ordered one; been looking for about 2 weeks and I think this is the one for me.@@LarsKlintTech

Would you still recommend thinkbook as a budget option for Stem students or any alternatives?
Possibly. There are a lot of budget alternatives including the IdeaPad range which is also pretty neat. It depends on what you intend to do on it.

@@sayanaxia Any modern ThinkBook will do just fine. Depending on the simulation requirements, you might want to up the RAM size.

Thank you for this. I too love Lenovo, and looking for a powerful no gaming laptop is confusing.
You are most welcome mate. Currently, it is the X1 Yoga imo. Amazing machine.
How do you think the thinkbook would handle some more intensive tasks such as producing music or DJing?
It should be able to handle that okay. It is mostly video that strains a device, so audio should work. I haven't tried it out though.
@@LarsKlintTechhow would it handle data analytics?
