This felt like a series of analyses and observations presented around an extended ad
There was no analysis. It was just an ad wrapped up in "Hey now most laptops are light and thin since 2012! Here are the specs of the sponsor laptop. Why? No point, but it's written in the contract"
Which is a good thing, right? It's like "If you hadn't paid me to talk about your product, I would've used another. But since you are, might as well talk about it." The laptop itself is ancillary at most
Yea it felt more like an add to me.
Yeah, dude really needs the plugs? Has more subs than god.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Came to watch a deep-dive into ultra books, got an ad for Lenovo instead
That's on you for having your own agenda.
Beede, go find something to do.
Yeah what the fuck was that
And talking about Windows 10 Pro like it was released yesterday 🙆🏽♂️
True. Even if it was an ad for Lenovo, I don't think it even did justice to how crazy the Lenovo one is by grouping it with literally everything..
It was such a confusing video,
Mk was like “everything is an ultrabook”
The video was ending and I was still waiting for at least 4 more examples.
“Why Everything is an Ultrabook” …. And then proceeds to show us only one laptop. Well …
MKBHD be like "here's a thought I had on ultrabooks" and proceeds to do an ad for a laptop
Tbh the video should be called “thinkpad review/ad and my minor thoughts on ultra books”
Damn, he hasn`t said a single negative word about this thing. The best part: He hasn`t compared the specs of this Laptop to something like the MacBook, because it would get destroyed anyways. BUT LOOK AT THE WEIGT!! A fully plastic Laptop weighs less than a full aluminum one!! OMG!!! BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!
You dislike the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload? Are you just a h8er boi? I say see you l8er boi. Don't watch the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload anymore. Your dislikes are damaging my good good GOOD reputation. I am a superstar, dear tob
@@LeBros I mean, he literally said at the beginning that its sponsored by Lenovo. Means its an ad, so he has an adread to do. He can't say anything negative, its not a review of the product, just some marketing for it.
I mean, there is a tag on the video literally called "sponsor"
This feels more like an ad than I would like it to
Ads are supposed to feel like ads. Why are you surprised?
@@gimmedatthing7829 when you actively think "this is an ad" the ad failed
@@michelbruns The opposite. If an ad bashes the product they're advertising, then it isn't an ad by definition.
@@gimmedatthing7829 ive said nothing about bashing the product
@@gimmedatthing7829 😂
“Resume from sleep in >3s” … that is a greater than symbol…
"You can't resume from sleep in less than 3 seconds! YOU HEAR ME?!" :D
what side of the > is the 3 on jackass
@@germ2450 not very clever eh?
The ‘>’ symbol denotes how one object (left side) is greater than another (right side). As such, the way the sentence is set up on the video says ‘Resume from sleep greater than 3s’
For example, ‘5 > 3’ means 5 is greater than 3.
Got it?
What’s the time stamp?
Yeah, the symbol being wrong bugged me.
Hey Marques, I don't mind that it's an ad, it's 2021, we're happy when out favourite youtubers get sponsors. But I just wish you didn't go on this long winded "thought provoking discussion on ultrabooks" just to ease us into the advert. It just feels disingenuous. You could just talk about the ThinkPad directly. If it's an ad it's an ad. You don't need to Trojan horse it
Me: I hate these 30 second TH-cam ads
Marques: oh you haven't heard?
😂
Couldn't understand this can someone please explain it to me?
The joke is that this whole video is an ad
@@Davasaurous most review videos are ads in disguise
Bird is the word
This was just a really long ad. You can't expect to put any "general observations" about ultrabooks in a video sponsored by one particular ultrabook.
Exactly. If there was more representation of other products in the category, this could have come off better. But there's very little to hang on to here, and certainly went way too in-depth on one particular product for any video pertaining to be about a general tech category.
@@MindLessWiz this was an ad bro, he still managed to make it a little intersting and informational.
I'm pretty sure he was just reviewing the product, and the ultrabook thing was more besides the point
@@kevinnkrumah8174 Maybe, but he named the video the way he did. If it was a review, then he should name it so...
@@TeamBringIt8 He wanted more people to click on it. More like a clickbait to a sponsored video. This wasn't a review.
Swing and a miss. You're one of my favorite creators, so I hope this is just a bump in the road.
i dont understand why everyones upset. read title & description of videos, don't just blindly click into anything and get upset it isn't a hand-on video of the iphone 47.
just another case of a bunch of people that don't put food on someones table getting mad that someones trying to put food on their table. you can tell when content is worthy of consumption with what is going on. nothing is really going on right now, ios15 just came out sure but even then thats not really exciting. youtube is a free site ffs but everyone wants netflix tier production and entertainment.

What the title should've been:
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Nano - Why Everything is an Ultrabook!
This. This was such an easy fix for this video... if he has just made this the title, and negotiated with Lenovo to offer his own opinions, this would've been an awesome video imo
Hopefully he comes across this and changes it

95% Lenovo thinkpad ad.

I was just about to comment the same
@@maxapen6047 SAME!
I knew someone must’ve noticed it too.
Did he just low-key hit us with an infomercial? 🤔
I still have my first Ultrabook, I picked it up in 2012 at Costco, a HP 4-1043cl. I absolutely love this laptop, thin and light. Backlit keyboard, Core i5 3rd gen, HDMI and webcam. And it's super easy to open the bottom up for upgrading. I replaced the hybrid hard drive with a Samsung SSD 512gb, the RAM I boosted from 6gb to 12gb and I replaced the Wifi for 2.4/5gz. And all on the cheap, none of those components were expensive.
Here's an alternate title : "Thinkpad X1 Nano Showcase"
That's it. All you had to say. Why hide a showcase behind a genuinely intriguing title?
Because that title wouldn’t get views
I totally agree, if he only made the title about the laptop like he does phone reviews, none of us would be mad cause the video is about that certain product in the title.
But to have a title of a discussion of sort, and then hearing only a review of a sponsored laptop is bad.
Agreed. Also ditch the intro with the BS lead up about Ultrabooks.
Me finding out I'm an ultrabook: *interesting* 🤔
lol
kekw
😂😂
I certainly don't wake from sleep in under 3 seconds
He said very soon 🥰
To be fair I was in a PC World here in the UK for the first time in years and was surprised at the selection of reasonably priced well build Windows 10 ultrabook types available.
When Ultrabook first came out, I always dream of having one. I’m glad the industry is slowly leaning into thin and light, driving quality up with different price points. After all, I need to thanks Steve Jobs for creating MacBook Air.
@Carlos Yung almosg justified but still isn't. There's a lot of better devices
@Carlos Yung M1 MB Air is pretty damn amazing tbh. And it’s gotten cheaper.
This one doesn’t feel like MKBHD, but everyone messes up sometimes.
This was a laptop ad, with a different title. It felt sneaky, not something you see usually.
@@mohitjivani645 I think this one hits a nerve for a lot of people since with the ZTE review, he masked a review for a mediocre phone behind a higher level discussion video "Why smartphones copy each other". It largely went under the radar. Now that this is an outright ad, I clicked for a meta level discussion on Ultrabooks, and had some respect that Marques wouldn't sell out and mislead viewers with a title like this just because it's a sponsored video - and then ignore the meta level discussion.
This is an ad not a review
yyyyy
I see nothing wrong with it, he was honest about his intensions in the beginning
“pretty nice backlight to see in the dark”
That was a statement that he was obliged to say in the contract😂
This video is a sponsored review in everything but name. Personally, I’m fine with companies paying you to do videos about their products, I actually learned a lot about the ThinkPad and I might consider one of I need a PC. But the title of the video needs to indicate what it is (A Look at Lenovo ThinkPad [sponsored by Lenovo]) so I know what I’m clicking on instead of disguising a sponsored review inside of an opinion/thoughts video so you can avoId calling it what it is. Even if you weren’t sponsored, I clicked on this video for a Marques’ thoughts video. If this was any other video, I’d be very confused why you randomly started reviewing/describing a product in an opinion video and think there was an editing mix up, the title needs to match the video topic.
THIS^^^^
Clickbait sellout title.
Marquees, I’d really love to see what you think about the Framework laptop - A great looking concept with the right to repair front and center.
So.. this was basically an 8min long ad, with a minute of a "Tech thought that he had".
If a video is sponsored and that company has their product in the video it's an ad. Nothing debatable or sneaky about that.
@@NineteenEightyFive probably not but it didn't feel right, it could have been a simple Lenovo video than trying to talk about ultrabooks using a single laptop
@@shubhamthakur8530
1. The title!!
2. He was not his usual self in this one.. Just plainly saying what was written on the script.
i wouldn't have minded it if the title was "lenovo x1 showcase" or "this laptop is the new standard" or something like what LTT does. i feel cheated

@@interestingfactsworld24 because most people assumed this was noteworthy content, not advertisement
@@interestingfactsworld24 the "then why watch it" argument is unfitting here.
"Why watch?" you ask? Because it was a clickbait title, that was promising normal content. people thought they will see a normal video, not an ad.
But this was an ad, disguised as a normal video. Very low of marq. I know he is better than this, and hope he recognizes the discontent of his fans.
@@viciouspink6247 I can understand the sentiment but he literally mentioned that it was a sponsored video and he put a sponsor tag in the title, it's not like he was trying to deceive you that it's not an ad
he waited all these years to get to them man
Marques: this is a tech thought video
Me : Looks like an ad video for me 😁😁
Might be but not sure
Chottu is that u?
literally any tech review is an ad.
"a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy."
but this was a paid ad, and scrubs get mad when someone is trying to make money. this is a free site ffs, he literally opens the video by saying its PAID BY LENOVO. you can literally hit X whenever you want you complaining zombie.
@@larrywexner4163 WHERE in the video title does it say the words "Lenovo" and "Laptop"???
Stop blindly defending MKBHD's bullshit.
He's not going to have sex with you.
😂😂😂
@@PSYCHOV3N0M WHERE in my comment do i say titles are the be all end all, the only thing that matters. 1:25 he literally says its a sponsored video AKA an AD. get worked up over something else you weirdo.
This video tries really, really hard to ignore the MacBook Air and how the MacBook Air was *THE* reason Intel came up with the ultrabook category in the first place. Seriously, this video goes out of its way to bury that part of history just to please the sponsor, and I may have just lost respect for MKBHD for that reason.
Was surprised to see it not mentioned as well. Before the Air, there were mostly netbooks which were just terrible devices in general.
As long as there's fan boys like you, a dozen a penny, how can we ever be free from hearing how great Apple was? No pipe down booh, go and read a book and stay off the internet for a few hours.
Apple doesn't even have to pay you guys... they just unzip their zipper and you guys come running to slurp. Pathetic really...
@@Cryptolorian Well they weren't wrong. Apple used a lot of intels processors throughout history and always tried to push intel to make them more portable. They eventually had to switch to their own silicon because intel was doing terrible generational improvements and AMD was not really on good terms with them.
Thumbs up MKBHD! Regardless of this being a sponsored vid, We need more analysis of affordable & effective laptops like this Thinkpad and not the flashy and over costly ones for a change . I've been using a thinkpad yoga for 2 years now and I love it, gets the work done.

I paused the movie and used ctrl + f for "greater" to see if someone pointed out he used a greater than sign.
Take an upvote good sir.
Maybe he did it on purpose. he found it actually will be > 3s after a period of time.
And this video is just a demo.
I find the inconsistent use of math symbols bothering.
The video has
20mm max thickness
9 hours Windows idle
1080p resolution
80MB/s storage minimum
They should have been < , >, >, > symbols for each of them, and for Resume from sleep.. Or math symbols should not be used for any of them.

Very insightful and useful. I know the comments say this is more like an ad, but it was sponsored and as for me, this is exactly what I was looking for and especially from someone like MKHD
“I had a thought recently about ultra books”….no you didn’t, you had to come up with a way to tie in an ad for a laptop into a video. This is an ad.

Not a review. A review cannot be sponsored by the entity making/selling the product, because that would compromise the honesty of the review. And we the audience have no use for dishonest opinions.

Everything is an Ultrabook - If you're doing an Ad for ThinkPad!
but the worst issue with ultrabooks? no upgradibility
You spent the whole video talking about ultrabooks as a marketing term without acknowledging the EVO certification, which is clearly a 2021 replacement for the ultrabook branding.
100%
Also trying to explain the origins of the ultrabook without mentioning how influential the Macbook Air was in basically starting that category.
@ well, that's something I get. A macbook is not a Windows device. We are also not comparing specs of a windows laptop with an macbook, because the macbook would suck. But EVO is literally the new ultrabook standard.
As a X1 Carbon 6th Gen user, I doubt I'll ever go to use anything else. My satisfaction with this laptop/ultrabook went to a point where I refuse to work on my wife's HP Elitebook (which is obviously another good ultrabook), so I copy it on a USB stick and work on my one lol. Love these machines.

Still waiting for him to get around the point.
The software behind the trackpoint pushed it far beyond the trackpad in the early years when you had to either get used to insane sensitivity or sliding your finger across multiple times to get across the screen, nowadays acceleration is better and some materials are easier to slide across smoothly (my fingers tend to stick and rub instead of slide) so that's why the nipple became so popular, and even though I don't need a laptop currently, I'm so glad it's still around in case I get a job that would make use of a laptop.
Thanks!

Thank you, this is the correct one
One of the best use case for the trackpoint is when you use your laptop laying down. Because it allows you to bring the laptop closer to your face whilst your browse the internet. However if you use the trackpad you are forced to move the laptop away to get space in front of you to use the trackpad.
This!
That was an informative video. The Thinkpad x1 nano is not cheap. It's a bit on the expensive side. So, coming to that point, do we have an alternative with the same standards and performance as the Thinkpad? What do you think about LG grams? Will that be a better option compared to the Thinkpad when it comes to price?
Just get a cheaper thinkpad
alternative title: paid review of thinkpad and 1 minute of thoughts about modern laptops
FACTS.
was not a “review”
The title does not state it's a review, and Marques also mentioned it's sponsored by Lenovo.
ah okay sorry. it wasnt a review, it was a flat out commercial. that whole vibe of the video basically told me if i dont want a gaming laptop i should buy that laptop
@@dylanc2806 He literally states it isn't a gaming laptop nor is it meant to compete with them. Just a laptop built for casual or business use.
I came in expecting some thoughtful discussion and left feeling like I got tricked into watching an ad. I didn't expect that from this channel. I would have felt better about this video if it was simply framed as a showcase for that lenovo laptop instead of disguising itself as a wider discussion.
There's literally a hashtag sponsor on it, don't watch it if you don't want to
@@Amar_Indo007 Just because there's a sponsor doesn't mean that millions of people don't have respect for what Marques has to say. When he titles a video "Why everything is an Ultrabook", even if there's a sponsor, we expect a higher level discussion not "Lenovo ThinkPad review: my thoughts". If you seem think both titles mean the same thing then you don't know how to read.
Exactly this, I thought I was the only one who felt this way as Marques does good meta level discussion videos from time to time and this title leads you to believe its one of those. I think I'll go back to Dave2D for laptops and Mrwhosetheboss for smartphones as they each also have a lot to contribute in terms of meta level discussion. That's what separates a great tech channel from ones that mindlessly pump out reviews for individual models like CNET. Even then something like The Verge has an element of discussion despite being a larger company.

Exactly. I appreciate what he has to say in the meta level discussion videos about the industry in general. This ain't it.
1000000% agreed. wtf is this crap??
yeah pay the bills for his third tesla
Hey Marques! Everyone here is already pointing out that this feels like an ad and some seem to be offended by the video. I know you're always trying out new stuff and like to experiment. I won't be overly dramatic and that this is beneath you or that you're ruining your channel, but still I want to give you my feedback that I too felt awkward watching this video. It somehow doesn't feel right / fitting to your other content. What I like most on your channel is that I can get YOUR opinion and thoughts on something that YOU like (or dislike), and respect your opinion and can very often relate. But this video makes me wonder how much of it was your opinion and how much it was just working towards ongoing sponsorship from Lenovo. Even if you have just the best intentions for your viewers, it leaves a bad taste.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Thank you for your awesome content, keep it up!
+1 well spoken
+1 well spoken
Or maybe not keep that up
Hey Maik! I think you did a really god job writing this constructive comment! Too often people give a harsh and abrupt opinion that is not very helpful. Your feedback is spot on! Thanks for showing people that it's possible to have an opinion without being overbearing.
I 100% agree, you summed my feelings up very well.
LOL to everyone saying they are upset by this video feeling like an ad, but he says at the beginning of the video that it's sponsored by Lenovo and that he's going to use that specific laptop as a demonstration piece. He gave plenty of information at the beginning to make his points about ultrabooks, and then proceeded to talk more in depth about the Lenovo laptop specifically which is a relevant example, and I was totally fine with it because it was all interesting information to me.
Have you thought about making a video about editing with software like Davinci or Premier Pro on these Windows machines to really put their specs up to the test?
Or does Final Cut Pro on Mac just blow everything out of the water?
Umm no it doesn't. Just type your question into youtube or Google. This dude isn't the know all. He's heavily apple bais and will not truly review any of device.

Rare error even with a great team behind now
I was going to point that out :)
This mistake really bothered me
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself make 9 minute ads for Lenovo.
I was a hard core ultrabook guy for a very long time. I finally transitioned back to a more standard/full size laptop. Just to get the most power I can. Specifically for gaming as you pointed out.
my god, your production quality is GOD-LIKE
The whole intro looks like an actual commercial, sweeeeet job man
The whole video is a commercial
It’s because it is
He said it in the video
It is commercial, he endorse it.
Remember when MKBHD used to review things?
wdym, I get that this video is just an ad basically, but we cant just generalize and say that he doesnt make reviews anymore
@@IzaelNeto I agree people sometimes mess up dude, it ain't be so deep
@@thehipsterhamster1929 Yeah man, people on the comments are getting too dramatic, acting like he does that all the time
Most reviews are ads once these channels reach a certain number of subscribers. Every company does this to you tubers. 99 percent of the time.
Don't be dramatic, watch the video for your entertainment
It would be nice to see an MSI review, they have been making some really nice ultra books in my opinion.
This feels off. I watch Marques for his unbiased reviews and his unique perspective. This video feels like a spec sheet for the Lenovo.
Because it is. Not sure why people felt ripped off when he literally disclosed it less than 2 minutes of the video.
You're clearly underestimating the intelligence of your audience.
The 45k thumbs up kinda depress me. The average youtube viewer is braindead
whyy can you explain what he did wrong
@@omniyambot9876 the only reason this video was made was because Lenovo sponsored it.
every big TH-camr has these but the reason it isn't cool is cause it feels like he sold out. Sometimes you just wanna get a healthy guaranteed paycheck instead of dealing with the insanity of TH-cam adsense
When a TH-camr didn't mention about the actual specification and price, you k ow it gonna be expensive af.
Audiences don't pay. Mk gotta eat too
Hey Marques, you missed the important point here: The new "Ultrabook" marketing term is now Intel Evo
He was sponsored by Lenovo, not Intel. Tho I'm sure intel and Lenovo together contributed to the paycheck .
I was thinking this the whole video. He could have branched out & made it about this relevant tech topic around how EVO is the new term, which would have made it less of a straight up ad
Keep up these great video's!
that intro was amazing 😍
