I'm gonna hit the thumbs up because his mom would certainly appreciate it
Bruh Josh, I'm not super into laptops and stuff but your sheer amount of hard work really glistens through the screen.
Cheers mate.🍻
Thanks mate!!!
bruh...
JOSH'S coverage as great as usual!! Appreciate your work man 😀
It really is. His review of the Yoga 6 was very informative and I now own one! Love the benchmarks. I will watching this extensively in a few more years or whenever I go to buy another laptop.
@@ericsankey5756 Hi Eric, how about battery life of Yoga?
@@CommonSense9eleven It is pretty good. I don't do much but word processing, zoom meetings, and internet browsing. It has been lasting me like 7 to 9 hrs with brightness all the way up and performance vs battery life slider in the middle. Had it for about 6 months now I think, and I am really happy with it.
This review was right up my alley. I am in love with my ThinkPad keyboard and I can't get my hands on HP Spectre x360 14 here in Canada. The nuance in the laptop game right now is overwhelming and I appreciate reviews like this that help distill things for me a bit. I'm going with the X1 yoga gen 6. A little nervous about battery life, but love the combination of performance, flexibility, and size.
Appreciate the work you put in Josh. You clearly put a lot of effort into each video and you deserve a lot of credit for that. Keep up the great work and wishing you more success!
Always appreciate the amount of work and detail you put into your videos. I don't know much about computers, and I already bought a new one, but I'm going to continue to watch your videos to support! Thank you!
Love your videos ! So informative and interesting to watch! Keep up the great work ! I appreciate all the hard work that goes into all ur videos!
I love your quality and your video ideas like this. Been eyeing a X1 Carbon for embedded dev. Your detailed reviews helps tremendously.
I am very happy with what you are doing in reviewing laptops. I am a big fun of you. Keep the hard work!
I have the X1 Carbon and running 2 x 27inch external monitors in extended mode, sound bar, wireless keyboard and mouse all connected via a hub and one cable to laptop. Could not be happier with this setup giving awesome computing power and 3 screens to work with. Suprememly satisfied with my Carbon.
thank you for your comment. I was on the fence between Dell and X1 Carbon. That's what I am looking for! Two screens, folded laptop. Cheers
@@Urbancorax2 same. How's your experience so far?
@@codyallen211 I regret! Perfect laptop for me but charging port is not working and there are many people with the same issue: th-cam.com/video/IqKCTvKlZWc/w-d-xo.html I want my money back or permanent fix.
Hey Josh,
i bought the Nano after your initial review and i'm extremely happy with the unit.
I also totally agree with you on the keyboard. To me the keys feel like a mix between oldschool thinkpad- and newer apple keyboards.
Thanks for your awesome videos!
VERY helpful! Love that you compare the Lenovos amongst each other. Huge Dankeschon from Germany
love his reviews !!!, especially the "displays comparison"
This is the review I was dreaming someone would make! Thank you Josh!
Its awesome to see at 133k subs
The already huge effort you put into those reviews have not only increased but also improved, big cudos 👍
Very good and compact comparison! Well done thank you!
Hey Josh! Thanks for the Great Video! Really love the Yoga. But one Question: haven't you noticed the terrible throttling on X1 Carbon and X1 yoga? Notebookcheck and multiple Users on the Lenovo Forums reported it. How was it on your units?
Thanks Josh for your great Videos! Appreciate your hard work. :)
Your videos are getting better and better, I'd love to see these compare to the decidedly cheaper Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon edition, not available in the US as far as I can tell but I believe available in 'stralia and definitely in europe 👍
Very useful thinkpad comparison review. Helped me with my purchase. Going to get the Nano.
I am stunned by this video!
Definitely a fan now. Liked and subscribed bruh.
Really appreciate your hard work and honesty! I get so tired of "everything is great" reviews & reviewers who say pretty exactly the same thing for every machine. Loses credibility fast. Your contwnt is helpful and refreshing!!
Great channel. Thanks for this ThinkPad battle. Love the Nano
Oh come on! How much more ridiculously awesome and detailed can Josh get with laptop reviews! 🤩🤩🤩
THIS is a review! Thanks josh!
Omggg finallyyy i have been waiting for this video !!!!
The best reviews ever 💯 thank you
I have the carbon gen nine , had it for a week now . So far it’s been fantastic for me.
Very helpful review! Thank you!
Love your videos Josh!!!!!!!👍👍👍
Can you do a comparison of xps and x1 carbon?
Great run down of the Lenovo X1 family...Personally I'd choose the X1 Carbon because of it's performance and battery life.
Thank you! I had just bought a titanium that I decided to return for a yoga after seeing your video
man i love watching u and amd writing some notes 😂❤️🔥
Unfortunately in Macbook world taking hand written notes are a thing in the future well maybe in year 3000
Very useful video, Josh! As I am torn between X1 carbon and X1 nano, I would appreciate it a lot if you could elaborate on your typing experience on the two keyboards of those machines. I find it rather interesting (and a bit counterintuitive) when you said you like the X1 nano more; it has short key travel, I believe. Thank you!
Thanks for the video Josh! Your videos makes me wonder what's the best all around laptop at 14" with a decent price for most users (casuals, students,...). Any idea or is it a video project? Thanks for the work pal!
Great video! I just couldn't decide, what to buy among these 4 laptops.
Thank you so much, this really helps!!!
Just ordered the Gen 10 Carbon with nearly every option. Really excited to get it
Awesome comparison and couldn't be at a better moment for me! I'd choose the Yoga in a heartbeat (although the price is pretty steep), but I'll need to use the laptop outside on sunny days and I am worried about how usable that reflective screen would be :/ My Yoga Slim 7 is COMPLETELY unusable due to reflections, even at 400 nits - can't even find the cursor at all...
Hey Josh great job with the reviews. Really good quality content.
Question: Could you cover LG gram too please ?
I apprciate your reviews Josh, any chance you could do an in-depth review of the Thinkpad X1 Yoga gen 6 4K? Thanks
Best review, thank you!
a much needed video!
Hi Josh,
Thanks for this great review.
How about comparing the three 2-in-1's from Lenovo - the ThinkPad X13 yoga (Gen2), X1 Yoga Gen 6 and Yoga 9i? I'm still not able to decide which to choose!
Regards.
Thanks for the comparisons. I have been a ThinkPad Yoga user for a few years now and love the build quality, weight and feel. I find that it has really quit good battery life. I have caught myself out on the road working and the back at a hotel streaming for a couple of hours, falling asleep and then waking up a couple of hours later with it is still running/streaming, shutting it down and the waking up in the morning, booting it up and find that it still has 40% battery left. Speed is great and the heat has not been a distraction but maybe I am used to it.
I’m really considering a yoga as well. Coming from a 2015 Macbook pro
Thanks for your detailed review. Do you think the charging port of X1 Nano is reliable by comparing with DC jack?
This is so helpful Josh. Its a perfect review for Lenovo ThinkPad lovers.
This is what is was wishing for ,
Amazing
Thanks a lot !!!!!
I love my Nano. The screen clarity is incredible and it's great for throwing into a bag and getting on with the day.
Great video breakdown. I’d rather the M1 MBA, but it’s good to see what else is out there on the market. The cheap Lenovo I had from my company seemed to do the job for what I needed it to do.
Great review, thanks
I love x1 laptops, great to watch this comparison. Wish there were more AMD options. Track pointer is great ;)
I hope you will do a re-test of the Yoga battery, I will watch it!
Will you review any of the new Galaxy Book Pro's?
I used Thinkpad T470 for a bit longer than 3 years before getting a X1 Gen 3 Extreme about 5 months ago. It is true that the latter's keyboard felt incredibly shallow when I first typed on it, compared to the T470's counterpart. However, as time progressed, the X1's keyboard started to feel familiar to my touch despite its shallowness. So I think it is worth giving the X1's keyboard some time before getting used to it - although it is surely not as satisfying as that of T470. Thanks for the video.
Excellent review!!!! This really helps me making a decision between the X1s, Props to you sir. 10:14 The battery life is much worse in the X1 Yoga Gen 6 because it has the 4K+ screen. The results you got seem very reasonable. That being said I'm still thinking I'm going to get the X1 Yoga with the 4K+ screen because it is just such a nice screen.
I ended up going the the X1 Yoga Gen 6 with the 4K screen. I'd say overall I am very happy with it. The 4K+ screen is truly gorgeous, I fully calibrated it for photo editing and prints. It is simply the best screen I have ever used. The beautiful screen does come at a cost though, battery life is not that good, I end up getting about 3.5hours of usable life, even less if doing heavier tasks. Also the 4K+ display can tax the GPU and cooling causing the laptop to get fairly hot overall. Also of note, the keyboard is not as good as previous Lenovo ThinkPad laptops (X1 Yoga Gen 1, T420S) that I have owned, but still a step up from the HP I have for work or my old Dell Inpriron. I swapped out the M.2 SSD with a 2TB WD Black PCIe 4.0, and it is just crazy fast. Super easy to swap out, it is a total no brainier, the 2TB WD Black PCIe 4.0 SSD can be found on Amazon for about $300.
@@nafnaf0 Thank you for this update, it puts things into perspective, I'm between the carbon due to its lightweight (I travel a lot), and the yoga because of the 2 in 1, though I have a zenbook right now and I barely use the touch screen, or the pen in my galaxy note, but I feel safe to have them just in case lol. Question: How heavy does the yoga feel if you tag it along your daily activities?
Man I watch a lot of tech channels, but I have to say, you have become the best laptop reviewer on TH-cam. Fullstop.
I was very interested in the Titanium, but after this video my interest shifted back to the Nano. I am not in a hurry to buy a laptop now or even this year, so I'll wait the new redesigned superlight Macbook from Apple (leaked by Prosser) and if it comes with cellular I'll decide whether to get that or the nano....
Whoa, what a great review, four thinkpads at once, what could be better 😀👍
Really looking for your reviews on the new Asus M16 and Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 16!
Finally!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for this comparison! You always show the features a consumer want to see. Just a curiosity, don't you think the nano is too small to use as main working laptop?
Actually it depends ... if your work acquires you to travel 24 by 7 your back is going to appreciate Nano more .
Hi Josh, really appreciate your review...have you compared Thinkpad X1 series to Dell XPS Series? I think those two laptops are tight competitor to one another.
Very interesting review. I was most interested in you mentioning the graphics error(s) you get when connected to an external monitor. I do have similar issues with my Ideapad5 Ryzen 7 laptopt where it get's as far as complete reboots out of the blue after an uncertain amount of time where everything just works and then the laptop just reboots (not bluescreen, no windows logs) and yes, I have been in contact with lenovo suppport but besides them telling me to hardware-reset (which I did, and nothing changed) I would be very interested if you have noticed a simililar experience (I mean the reboots, not just the blocky artefacts)?
Thank you for your comprehensive review! I prefer the Carbon Genk.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Nice review. Thank you. I just received my X1 Yoga Gen 6 today. Bought it on Black Friday - i7 11gen G7 CPU/16Gb Ram/1Tb HD/400 NIT non-reflective display - $1,150. I've never seen it any less expensive. I do believe something was wrong with Josh's X1 Yoga regarding battery life. 10 hours is the norm for running Netflix on a constant basis. Anyway I will try to get back here and give more feedback once I use it for a couple months.
I am watching it with my Thinkpad x270. Really love them
Great work sir….please upload videos frequently…….also focus on smartphones and other tech……u are very good at reviewing tech
This was a great video and helped talk me out of the titanium (I had been considering one for awhile and waiting for a price drop). The lower tiered Thinkbooks and Yogas do away with the track point and buttons and I would love to see a comparison in the future. I personally also would sacrifice the track point for more trackpad real estate but I have no clue if there are other quality of life sacrifices that come with the next tier down. Great video Josh
Yaaas!!! I'd really appreciate that you review the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16" and lenovo yoga 7 carbon 14" . Trust you so so so much
super-duper helpful, making the order now :)
I bought my X1 carbon two weeks ago and installed Manjaro with Sway. I'm loving the performance, the quality, and the Linux support of this laptop! The only kinda downside with Tiger lake is that it doesn't support S3 sleep but the s0ix state works well in Linux (0.5wh while suspended)
Edit: The trackpad on my unit works as it's supposed to
Do you find the trackpad difficult to press? I just received mine, have no problems with the accuracy of it, but the resistance seems too high.
@@collinguidry9867this is the first diving trackpad that I've used so it's difficult to say if the resistance is hard or not. I think that it's fine. Takes more pressure than the buttons above though
Hi Josh, thanks for your great content. Could you recommend a laptop which can really be put on top of my lap in summer. Now I am using MacBook pro 13 2020 intel model, it's running really hot when docker is running background. Any suggestion beside M1 Mac?
Good comparision video very useful Thank you bro.
Josh I'd be really interested in a video about your favorite programs for coding, video editing, etc.
Superb review and very informative. I will go for the Yoga at some point.
Yes I think the Yoga Gen6 is the way to go. I ordered one last week, but it will take 4months to deliver since they are short on 32 GB RAM. Notebook check had a hood review on it too: www.notebookcheck.net/ThinkPad-X1-Yoga-G6-Review-Lenovo-s-best-Business-Convertible.536304.0.html
*good
Thonkpad 🤔
Weird guy
Discord user spotted-
I got x1 carbon 7th gen for work and trying to get a better grasp what to buy for personal use. A little of nano awesomeness would be nice in my life and you just gave me an excuse for it ;-) all the best to your Mum :-)
It totally entertained me!
Is the X1Carbon's 4K+ display much more reflective than the X1 Yoga's 4K+?
I would have assumed they use the same panel but I guess not!
Anti-reflective coatings, particularly on glossy screens like these, make such a huge difference - they measure similarly at 6:36 in terms of contrast but with any ambient lighting and a different coating, that changes dramatically!
Josh is definitely on the up and up.
Great overview again, thanks Josh. I was considering the Carbon for coding but it’s off the list. I’m so tempted to get the Nano and if I could stick more memory in the darn thing I’d probably deal with the slightly less performance and go with this unit but as with all of them having soldered ram or not being able to get to at least 32gb on the board sucks eggs. I’ve had my eye on another laptop from a smaller manufacturer that’s been crushed by the shortages in the chip, etc supply chain so I thought I’d re-look at the Lenovos. You saved me some buyers remorse, oh and some $.
I’ll wait on the laptop (with Linux installed) I really want which I think will be a Carbon killer in pretty much every respect.
Cheers.
what laptop are you talking about?
@@PedroLopez-hb4ev Lemur Pro from System76 was the laptop I was referencing. I bought one. I love it but I found I needed more fully remote power including off net use so I eventually picked up a M1 14". Though I still have the Lemur and think it's a great laptop for most Linux based devs. Cheers.
Perfect timing at the moment I am about to purchase a new computer to replace my 6 years old Asus UX303.
I was looking at exactly these options, and leaning towards the X1 nano.
The Titanium seemed to be the winner at first glance, but I realized quickly that the battery life is way too short on a crazily expensive device.
Perfect TH-cam Video: Just Josh, Thinkpads, and his mum.
Thanks for this video, in my quest to find a new laptop to replace my yoga 2 pro (I know, its hella old), Ive been trying to figure out the difference. Well not trying but wanting to try.
Im having hard time too. thought about joining your discord but I dont know much about it. I gotta go lenovo or asus because they are the only two companies that put the option to let your battery stay at around 60% charged.
Good stuff. I have an old T430 for my work laptop which is quite a reasonable machine, Lenovos are quite hardy beasts.
Thanks for the video. I’d be interesting to experience the battery life and screen quality of the Yoga with the lower resolution screen.
That is a good question. I think the matte 1200x1920 screen would be a pretty good option and will give much better battery life than the 4K+ screen. The 4K+ screen will be better though, it has much higher color gamut and has generally been regarded by multiple reviewer’s is simply outstanding. I think either would be a good choice, I’m personally went with the 4K+ since I use it for photo editing and printing.
Just to note, right now the Matte 1200x1920 screen option ($30) is only available on the Yoga Gen 6, but not the Carbon Gen 9. With the carbon GEN 9 you can only get the glossy 1200x1920 screen.
I got an Yoga 8th gen i5 and I am
Happy with it.
Please do a review of the thinkpad X12 detachable as well!!
Looking forward to your Intel Tigerlake-H coverage!
Josh, I know your crazy busy. But in the future could you consider a 2 in 1 mash up like this? Struggling student version ($1300 cap).
I bought the X1 Carbon not so long ago and if not for the Nano I would be 100% happy. I love the keyboard and chassis on the Carbon, it's just that the Nano is the perfect size IMO. If I weren't so lazy I'd sell the Carbon and get the Nano.
Hi Josh. I very recently managed to score what i think was a good price on the X1 Yoga Gen 6, i71185, 16g RAM and 1TB storage for $2k CAD.
But, my dilemma is - should I return it, and when it becomes available, get the Gen 7 with improved cooling, Alder Lake processor, and a 4k OLED display?
I don't do a lot of processor intensive work, but I do a fair bit of photography, web browsing etc.
(I'm largely indifferent about the improved webcam).
The 4k OLED screen will likely be awesome but maybe it will be very power-hungry. Will the Alder Lake processor be THAT much more efficient?
(The OLED screen appeals to me, though the present 4k screen is very good.)
Many thanks for any insight you're able to offer.
Josh I’m in a bind, not sure what to invest in. Whether the XPS, the Carbon, or the upcoming MacBook Pro...
I may be a biased Aussie here, but I just love listening to your videos! Keep being brutally honest, it's a breath of fresh air from all those sugar-coated reviews (I've lost hours of my life I cannot get back).
I'm just sick and tired of TH-camrs plugging rubbish, ok? 😭
Any advice on good content creator laptops?
I'm trying to find a laptop that'll suit video editing and not burn a hole in my lap. I'm not looking for something to replace my desktop but I need a portable solution for making some quick edits and connecting to my camera for stop-motion (can't exactly drag around a desktop). Heard good things about the Macs, but they're expensive and I've had so many issues with them in the past regarding storage and applications.
Ideally has:
• Good graphics
• Great colour gamut (very important).
• Low heat (I expect a little from a creator laptop, but I'd like it to not burn the flesh off my bones, thank you).
• Less fan noise, but I'm not too picky.
• Good Keyboard (I'm a writer and bad keyboards are the bane of my existence).
• Within my budget of $1,000--$2,000AUD. Basically a midrange laptop.
• And lastly, available in my country *cries in Australian*.
I know I probably won't be able to get all these things in a laptop, I just need something I can work with. I keep looking at these high-end laptops and I just don't feel like wasting a fortune on something that's only a "little better". It doesn't have to be spectacular, just has to do the job. I don't want another laptop that's going to conk out on me😭
Another good review would be doing the X1 yoga versus the X13 yoga.
Nice comparison and makes me even happier I chose the Nano over the Carbon!
X1 Carbon is the King and always will be, PERIOD.
What do you think of the Lenovo P14s and T14? I'm really wanting to get a laptop with replaceable RAM.
