Lenovo Yoga 7i handwriting (Digital Pen Base Pen II). (It was a defect, Lenovo ❤️ gave me a refund)

- The pen is usable, but not the best. It misses some strokes, palm rejection is not great. I had a better experience with my old Surface 3. I've already updated the drives and changed the settings, sensitivity, even tried calibrating the pen. It still misses strokes.
Is this normal? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks if you can help.
UPDATE: this was a problem with my unit. Lenovo gave me a refund. The customer service was very good. I guess this can happen with any machine. Whatever you buy, I recommend you test it on the first days, so it's easier to exchange in case you have a problem.
I had an IBM (before it was changed to lenovo) foldable laptop/tablet for my bachelor study in 2006 or something like that. it was amazing, i wrote all lectures on it, it was a great experience, i still have all pdf files of my lecture notes from soon 20 years ago. it was already a great writing experience then, i cant believe we are not at PERFECT now with these. i have an ipad pro now and imo that is pretty much perfection when it comes to handwriting...
I think it was a problem with my unit. I only noticed the defect after 20 days of use when I started taking notes heavily... and by law, I had 14 days to return the purchase, so I missed it (so I recommend people test everything on the first days in case there is problem). After months coming and going to assistance with no solution, Lenovo finally gave me a refund. Maybe I should delete this video, it doesn't seem fair on the company, a defect can happen with any machine. But I've also seen other videos of the same device with the same defect, but other people say their devices work perfectly. So I'm not sure...
Благодарю ❤. Вы сохранили мне нервы. Передумала брать эту модель. Буду искать другие варианты
I saw some other youtube videos arguing these 2-in-1 laptop screens don't have very good quality digitizers. I have a yoga 930 and a wacom pen and it's constant frustration when trying to write notes in class. I'd say either an ipad, a samsung tablet, or a microsoft surface device would be better for writing (drawing as well I'd think).
That laptop went to assistance numerous times to try to fix the writing, no solution, Lenovo gave me a refund. I bought an HP Envy x360 and the writing experience is great! The thing that worries me is that people complain a lot about broken hinges. So yeah, I guess the best option is iPad, Galaxy Tab, Surface... I always flip the laptop very carefully, I kind of regret not having a bought a Surface.
@@robrossini917 The surface pro is sexy, but I hate how it's not very good on your lap, expensive, limited adjustment of the screen angle, the battery life, ect.
@@opiumden34 I still have an old Surface 3. This Yoga 7i (which I had to return) and now my HP Envy were to substitute my old Surface (7 years old, too slow). With this HP I can get double the specs for the same price of a Surface Pro, that's why I chose it - it's a beautiful powerful laptop, but the tablet experience is not as good as a Surface, it's more of a "desk tablet" bulky and heavy. The Surface feels like a real tablet, and you don't have to worry about fragile hinges. The Surface does have a number of shortcomings, but if you want a 2-in-1, I think the Surface is the way to go... Or get a normal laptop and a real tablet, as you said.
@@robrossini917 can you tell me, how old your laptop was? And how exactly did you end up with a refund, when they told you your unit was too old (I'm coming from you reddit post). I recently made use of the guarantee because of a broken hinge, but the pen occasionally disconnects while drawing which drives me insane. I am thinking about a Wacom pen, but I can't really find any posts or experiences on that. Thank you for your help ^^
@@nickg3984 I only realized the problem with the pen 20 days after purchase. It was a brand-new laptop. But it was still difficult to get a refund... It took Lenovo and the store about one month until they decided to give me a refund. If I had realized the problem within the first week, it would have been easy, they would give me a refund without questioning. After one week, it's more difficult.
Kudos
I bought the same machine 2 months back and got even worse writing experience than this. It went for repair 3 times. They changed the motherboard in the second repair but the problem was the same and now after the third time they give me a refund. Now I am searching for a better device.
I think this is the builtin problem in 1 out of 100 laptops and can never be fixed.
@@asifnawaz431 You're lucky! I told them I wanted a refund, they won't give me. I'm taking it for the 3rd time to repair now. The first two times it was just the local assistance, now a Lenovo manager sent me an email saying they will send the computer to a specialized Lenovo technician. Thanks for your message. I'll tell this manager I've seen several users with the same problem... with no solution. I'm afraid it comes back with the same problem.
@@robrossini917 I have the exact same issue and I am totally frustrated. What has happened then?
Is the tip from the pen you use in this video also kinda loose?? I have to put a looot of pressure and it will scratch my screen... i'm sooo frustrated. Have to work now for 4years with this computer for shool and it's very hard to take notes using the pen with this device. Did you found any solution that worked for you??
Grandioso... mi è arrivato da una settimana e ho anche io questo problema. Immagino di dover iniziare la giostra tra assistenza, rimborso ecc... Ero SICURO che ci sarebbero stati problemi, ce ne sono sempre.
Dovresti farlo il più presto possibile! A Unieuro, dove l'ho comprato, mi avevano detto che avevo una settimana per cambiare il prodotto... purtroppo, quando mi ero reso conto del problema, erano già passati più di 20 giorni, ed è stato un incubo per avere il rimborso... L'ho avuto solo dopo mesi, stato tre volte alla assistenza, cambiato schermo, cambiato penna, ecc. (Errori: non sono madrelingua italiano).
I bought the precision pen 2 and it works a lot better (video in my channel)
Actually, I can't see the problem here. Prolly I have missed right when you demonstrated it, so please can you let me know of the time stamp of it. Also if u can make another short video of the hinge problem it shall be really useful for me to make my decision.
Really appreciate your work to let the world know some "Only User Understandable Experiences." 🔥❤️
You mean you could not see when the pen missed the strokes? Every time I underlined with a double line, it's where I indicated the pen did not work. It misses about one letter in every sentence. For example:
1st line: it did not write the "T" in the first word "This",
3rd line: the dot in "is" (it's very difficult to make dots with this pen)
4th line: it failed to write the first word "it"
5th line: the "s" in "It's"
... the D in "Do"... etc.
Imagine having to work for hours like this... it's very annoying and will delay your work. But I think the problem is with my unit which is defective. I talked to other Lenovo users who had the same problem, but it seems that most people don't have the problem.
About the lower frame between the hinges, it doesn't feel very solid. It's not a big problem, you feel it's just a bit loose when you press. I'll probably make a video to show that and maybe talk about some pros and cons. All youtube reviewers say this is the best laptop you can buy at this price, but they don't usually mention these little problems.
@@robrossini917 Ahhh...
I see it now. Thanks for the elaboration. I will reconsider my decision to buy this thing now. I am really grateful for you help.
Thanks
@@simpleken6206 I suggest you go to a store and try the computer yourself before making a decision to buy. And in case you buy, test it a lot in the first days so you can exchange it easily if there are any issues. I can list the cons:
- Lower screen frame not solid. But all the rest of the computer feels solid.
- Mine heats and turns on the fan often even in light tasks (comparing to my old Macbook)
- Few ports
- A lot of screen glare, I have to use the brightness close to 100%
- A bit heavy
On the other hand, it's difficult to find a 2-in-1 with such good specs at this price. In my case, it was the only 16GB RAM 2-in-1 for less than 1000 euros.
If my pen worked well, I don't think the cons are that negative, but obviously they are points to consider.
Which pen is best compatible with lenovo yoga 7i 14 inch 2022?
I have the exact same problem. I bought the Lenovo Yoga 7i with the i7. And I reinstalled all the drivers, the display has been changed by Lenovo service workers but nothing changed. So I got a refund. I thought this device was just damned or at least the defect hasn't been found. Hence I bought the same Yoga 7 with the AMD Processor, but nothing changed. Does anybody have an idea how to fix the problem?
Lenovo couldn't fix and gave me a refund in the end. I bought an HP Envy 360 13''. It writes perfectly with my Surface Pen. But there are lots of complaints about the hinge breaking in this model, so I'm really careful when I flip the screen. I think you pushed your luck when you chose the same Lenovo again... see if you still have time to exchange it. Usually you have one week to regret... sometimes two weeks depending on the country or store.
Onde encontrou e qual modelo é? Usa algum programa especifico? Obrigado.
i have the same laptop, but the problem occured like 2 months after buying it. is only the laptop at fault? would changing the pen to a different pen work?
I bought another pen to test. Same problem. The laptop went for assistance three times until they gave me a refund.
@@robrossini917 nvm i fixed it. i had to turn the"ignore touch input when using pen" option off in the settings. thank you though for answering on a 1-year-old video
Why my pen can not connect to my laptop (lenovo yoga 7 14itl5)? Help me please
Achei otima, a latência baixa.
Nem tablet Apple fica tão bom. Abraço.
É o Lenovo Yoga 7i. O meu veio com problema, acho que vc não percebeu no vídeo. Eu sublinhei com duas linhas pra indicar onde a caneta falhou, falhava pelo menos uma vez em cada linha, não dava pra trabalhar assim. Foi pra assistência, eles não resolveram e a Lenovo devolveu o dinheiro. Mas outras pessoas que compraram disseram que não tinha problema... o negócio é testar bastante nos primeiros dias.
I am having the same issue not able to use the pen as a writing device as the contact keeps losing and missing the pen stroke
Mine had no solution. It went to assistance 3 times until Lenovo gave me a refund.
Wht is the cost of this pen i have Lenovo yoga but i haven't pen
Ciao, sai se è un problema singolare, oppure è una carenza generale di tutti i dispositivi Yoga 7i? Perché stavo pensando di prenderne uno proprio per prendere appunti in università, quindi la scrittura col pennino è fondamentale più di ogni altra cosa.. (Stavo anche guardando il Flex 5... magari quello è meglio?)
Non so dirti con certezza. Cercando su internet, ho trovato alcuni utenti che hanno avuto lo stesso problema... Ma altri hanno detto che funziona benissimo, anche alcuni youtuber dicono che è un computer buono per prendere appunti. Indipendentemente dal computer che scegli, ti consiglio di fare tanti test nei primi giorni, prendere appunti per ore (non solo per pochi minuti)... e caso ti accorga di qualsiasi problemi, puoi scambiare facilmente. Io purtroppo mi sono accorto del problema solo dopo che non avevo più il diritto di scambiare.
@@robrossini917 Capito. Mi spiace... Ad ogni modo io mi son poi buttato sul tablet di Galaxy, non sarà come un laptop ma almeno per gli appunti so di per certo che funziona :D
@@alboz1327 Credo che hai preso la decisione più sicura. Anche perché se vai alla scuola o università, è molto più conveniente portare un tablet invece di un notebook 14 pollici pensante. Alcuni università hanno tavoli stretti... e infatti alla mia università direi che il 95% degli studenti usano ancora la carta... anche in quelli lezioni con 200-300 studenti, è difficile vedere uno che non usi la carta. Se prendi appunti in un Yoga 7i, forse sarai l'unico, ti sentirai un alieno. Avevo pensato di comprare un iPad o Galaxy tab... al finale ho comprato questo per sostituire il mio vecchio notebook e servire già come tablet... ma mi sono pentito.
@@alboz1327 Non ci crederai. Avevo appena finito di risponderti, e nello stesso minuto, Lenovo mi ha inviato una email dicendo che mi darà il rimborso come avevo chiesto!!! Sono contento.
@@robrossini917 Eh si anche io vado in Uni e sicuramente sarò tra i pochi se non l'unico con appunti digitali, ma per me questo non è alienante. Sono abbastanza tech, mi piace quando la tecnologia si mescola in modo organico con la vita di tutti i giorni, senza essere un disturbo ma migliorandoti l'esperienza. Poi magari passerò per uno sborone ora che ho preso un tab da quasi più di 1K, però a parte quello son sicuro che mi aiuterà a fare quello che devo, meglio. Anche lo Yoga lo avrebbe fatto, ma si trovano casi come i tuoi che ti fan venire il dubbio purtroppo... Mi spiace davvero. Son contento però che ti abbiano dato il rimborso!!! Son curioso di sapere su cosa ripiegherai, perché ora data l'esperienza non so come valuterai i 2 in 1... Personalmente cercando e analizzando ho trovato che per gli appunti con un tablet di un certo livello non puoi sbagliare, e speriamo sarà così quando mi arriva... Chiaramente potrebbe non essere adatto per tutto. Io infatti ho bisogno anche di potenza di calcolo e benché top di gamma non so se reggerà. Però ho un bel fisso potente, mi sa che opterò per connettermi in remoto tramite tab al PC e da lì svolgo facilmente assegnazioni che richiedono un motore ancora migliore! Fammi sapere! Buona giornata Rob :)
I am about to buy yoga 7i and I saw your video on pen performance and I really disappointed. But from your replies I see yours had defect and you changed it so please advise if this problem was solved or still the same
Lenovo gave me a refund. Maybe it was a problem with my device, other people are happy. I think this can happen with any machine. Whatever you buy, I'd advise you test it a lot on the first days, so it's easier to exchange if you have a problem.
I found this on a forum from another guy:
"Well i happen to find there was an option on control panel under "Pen & windows ink" tab, it says "Ignore touch input when I'm using pen". Enabling it which actually helped me even tho i don't have palm rejection feature on my computer."
Maybe it might help?
Thanks, but I already tried everything. In the video I changed exactly that setting at 1:54. It's a defective computer. It keeps coming and going to assistance with no solution, and they refuse to give me a refund or exchange for a different computer.
are you from usa?
No. Italy. The laptop went to assistance twice. Instead of giving me a new laptop, they said they changed the screen twice... and I already bought a new pen. New screen, new pen... and the problem isn't solved. It came from assistance today, I'm still testing it, it seems acceptable, but still misses some lines... not as good as my Surface experience.
@@robrossini917 how is the battery performance and which company ssd is there... Samsung Or WD??
@@tanmaysaha3452 Battery lasts about 9 hours, light use, office and web. Screen is very reflective, so I have to use almost 100% brightness. Fan turns on quite often and it gets hot in simple activities. The frame near the hinges doesn't seem very solid, it bends down and makes a cracking noise when pressure is applied. I can live with those issues, what really bothers me is the pen. I solved the problem of the screen glare with a Mate screen protector, but then the pen gets even worse. I have no idea about the SSD.
@@robrossini917 you have given a lot of negatives about this laptop..... Weird.
Else everyone one is saying it is a good laptop.... Techno panda have told yoga 7 is better tha hp envy x 360.
In terms of build everyone one is saying good. 🙄🙄🙄
@@tanmaysaha3452 Most reviewers say this is the best laptop you can get for this price, that's why I bought it. But I regret it. At least the frame near the hinges is not as solid as they say. Just go to a store, and touch it, it feels fragile, I don't know why reviewers don't point that out, since it's evident. This seems to be a common issue with the Yoga series. Search for "hinge problem Yoga", and you can see a number of users showing their frames popping open when opening their Yogas. But as I said, I could live with all the issues I listed. The pen is what really bothers me. For this price, you can just get a Macbook Air, which is really solid.
