got one of thes myself a few months back.....loving gthe matt screen and it seems pretty bulletproof so far...always nice that its my work machine and I get an upgrade every model
I love the thinkpads, I have one as my personal laptop, was very glad when I started a new job last year to find they also used Thinkpads for everyone. I just wish they put a usb type-c port on the right as well, sometimes being only able to charge fromt he left is annoying. I love the matte screen, will defintly be a requirement on my next laptop. As a Linux user I also like Lenovo sells laptops that come with Linux and support it properly, even doing firmware updates in linux properly, no dedicated Lenovo tool needed!
I hadn't considered the left-only-USB-C, but you might be right. Some of the Yogas have them on both sides. I will have to start learning Linux I reckon. I haven't used it for 15 years 😂
@@LarsKlintTech I've been using Linux for years and years for work in VM's and Docker. Got sick of all the bloat, and features you just can't disable on Windows. Switched to Linux and liking it much more. I use pop os for my personal devices. And the company I work for now is basically 100% open source, and the entire company even admin staff run Ubuntu. I just find it runs things better, without all the bloat and there's also way more free and open source software that's Linux only. No plans to ever go back to Windows or Mac at this point, Linux desktop is well and truly mature and stable enough for 99% of people to use as their daily computer.
I would have bought the Linux version.....or dual boot it. It would be so much faster.😃 I have 2 old Lenovo X240 which I bought for $125 each and have been using those every day for over 5 years. I have LMDE6 running on it. Love it. Actually I don't any new computers. They are all recycled. Maybe I might buy a new one but it is hard to find new computers without windows on them.
Yeah, for some reason Linux is still a bit niche and "nerdy". I am very happy with Windows in general, but I totally get your point. And well done for upcycling devices! I give my "old" devices to friends and neighbours.
Thanks for another great video. The card for your WiFi 6 video seemed a bit late to appear when I watched (not sure if it was something my end or a timing issue)
Great video, sadly have been burned by Lenovo warranty too many times in the last 18 months to contemplate getting one myself. Once Lenovo can offer an equivalent of Dells "tech direct" service then I'm back on board with their products.
Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I use Lenovo Premier Support, which looks equivalent. Overnight service and technician onsite. www.lenovo.com/au/en/services/pc-services/premier-support/
@@LarsKlintTech not quite the same, Dell's "tech direct" let's you manage the warranty process yourself, including ordering parts and perform the repairs (and get paid for it too). Works out much quicker when we aren't close to a capital city and overnight parts/tech aren't actually overnight.
@@LarsKlintTech When your working with large fleets of devices and a long way from a capital city, doing it "in house" rather than having to wait for a repairer to get onsite with the wrong parts that support have ordered for the job often speeds the repair up (have experienced this with every brand ive supported over the years)
Thinkpads used to have the best keyboard layout and feel. They ruined it to copy apple with no option to order with that. Now that this is gone not make things are not found in other manufacturers.
ThinkPad keyboards haven't fundamentally changed for a long term? The gen 1 yoga keyboard is very similar to gen 8. I really don't think they are like Apple keyboards 🤔
nice video, are those chairs your grandma's? lol Also, its funny we get charged for trying to make everything sustainable and recycled, while the rich fly everywhere in private jets etc., compensating everything we do (negatively) lmao.. Will you get your hands on the new one with Core Ultra?
These laptops suffer from overheating and resulting CPU throttling. The device is great for word processing, but for software development or other cpu intensive work, it quickly overheats and throttles down the CPU speed, making it virtually unusable.
How big is your sample size? I have had no problems at all with mine, even using VS Code and editing videos. Could you point to some documentation for the claim?
Great video as usual, Lars! We're so glad you enjoy the ThinkPad X1 Yoga.
Thanks team. It is a brilliant machine. Well done to you too.
my company only uses Lenovos for all 5000 of us...they are amazing
Can you upgrade GPU of X1 to nVidia AI technology ?
@@anozanb No idea, but I suspect not. That probably requires bespoke processing hardware.
I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 3 and it is great. Very durable, had it in a backpack when I had a crash with my motorcycle and it survived!
Wow, that is a proper real world test!! 😬

Oh, now you are just showing off 😛 The matte screen is super nice and unless in direct sunlight works really well.
I fully agree, I have the Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen1 and now I have the latest and honestly its the best laptop even the Gen1 still excellent
It is brilliant.

Another typical Lars style video - love it!
Thanks mate. Glad you approve 😁
Thanks 👍
Only downside: Webcam on the lower side when in tent mode.
True, but that is a small price to pay.
have x1 yoga gen 6 , love every part of it
It has been the business laptop of choice for a long time. 😊

I'm still waiting for the bunch of features that haven't been seen in a laptop before...

Thanks Steve. I am not sure what happened, but fixed now 😁
@@LarsKlintTech that makes a change, normally it's a "me" problem 🤣
@@Stephen-Jones Oh, not on the farm. It is pretty much always me 😛

@@Mitchvr32 Oh, I hear you. I would prefer that too.
A 600 pound laptop? That must be the heaviest laptop I've ever heard of.

Honest review
Always 😊

@@LarsKlintTech thank you for your answer. I was referring to the change from the classic keyboard to the island style.

I wish. I loved my grandma.
@@LarsKlintTech may she rest in peace bro
Is it good for graphic design and digital art??
I am not a graphic designer, but it has enough power to do most creative work including some video editing. The pen is very precise too.

that AG matte screen is unfortunate
In what way?
I actually put matte anti-glare screen on all my laptops, It reduce so much stress for your eye.
@@MrWh4327782 Absolutely agree. The matt screen is much better for working long term with.
Hardware is ok but the OS is garbage
It's not running Mac OS.
