Was waiting for this review, thank you so much! 😃
Eyeing the X1 Yoga 2018! My dream comp! Eager to see your review on 2019 model! Great job on this review! Thanks so much for it!
Had mine for a couple of weeks now, and I absolutely love it.
How is the battery life for everyday use?
Was waiting for someone to review full HD display. Excellent review, thanks.
Thankyou for this review, it is soooo good, especially the battery life part. Subscribed
The music was so dynamic in the start of video.. Superb review
what's the song called or who's the artist?
Yay. I bought the 2018 model with the HDR dolby display because of you, Andrew. Thanks a lot!
The speakers improvement is really a nice touch, although I really don't dislike mine, they could indeed be better. Overall, It surpassed all my expectations, it's an incredibly good daily-driver. Battery life is pretty good for me. It didn't disappoint at all.
Thanks for your brief but detailed review
FINALLY A BATTERY COMPARISON ! THANK U
Great video this was one of the computers on my list.
I need this laptop , love it
Amazing video! Best x1 carbon 7th Gen review out on TH-cam
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
your review helped me to decide between FHD vs WQHD. thanks!!
Great review! Plenty of ports on that laptop!
Just bought it thanks so much!
Excellent Review Andrew!!!. What I really like is when you provide added information like what the average nit count is----> This is what sets you apart from everyone else and another reason why we subscribe to you!.
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Amazing review. Thank you.
great video as always!
Great video! Will be buying the fhd version
Good video! Just waiting for the new dell xps 13 2 in 1 review to compare with the X1 carbon.
Awesome video thinking about getting the FHD
Great review as always! Can't wait to see how it will compare to the X1 Yoga 4th Gen and the new XPS 13 2 in 1 that was released recently :-)
Shh...don't tell anyone but I have the x1 Yoga 4th gen in the studio and will have the XPS 13 2-in-1 coming very soon.
Hello Andrew, thanks for the excellent review. Much has been said about the X1C7's keyboard in comparison to its predecessor ie less key travel which apparently is affecting the overall feel good factor in using the new keyboard. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks
Haha, was just watching ur review of the 6th gen after purchasing the X1 tablet, coincidence? maybe, but I am definitely gonna watch this review too :D
I just got mine 4 days go (20R1S05A00), super fast,light, thin. I am in love with it!
unlike other youtube reviews, you have a really extensive battery life comparison chart. A lot of people want to compare it with the FHD version!
Thank you, I will buy the FHD i5.
Since I'm waiting and pre-ordered the XPS13 2 in 1, and was stuck between this X1 and the XPS13, what is your opinion about these two laptops? I noticed that that XPS13 actually scored higher in the GeekBench testing, and it's got better Graphics card. I asked myself: why should you buy an older version of CPU, which is the X1? Really like to know your opinion about this.
Full hd, because of battery life. It still doesn't compare with the Dell xps line you recently reviewed though. I believe I will be more seriously considering my new Windows laptop according to battery life, screen size, touch screen, Windows Ink, and must have backlit keyboard for me. Oh, and price. I will have to do a great deal of searching around to stay within my under $1k price range. Lower would be even better, but I want something that will last and something I will use. If I am going to be jumping into the Windows eco system, I may as well try to get as many boxes checked as possible for the least amount of money possible. I know you will have videos out there that will help me make a smart decision as well as an affordable one. You are the best reviewer by far young man. And you speak my language - semi technical!
Thank you so much for this! Waiting for mine to come in. Until then, I'll live vicariously through videos like yours! :)
Best review. Thank you. And what is background music name?
I got the i7 with 16 gb RAM and 512 gb SSD for $1,300 from Costco...amazing machine. I was worried about thermals, but AIDA 64 can’t get it to thermal throttle (except at the very beginning before the fan spins up). Stable at 75-85 degrees after 25 min at 100% CPU, hovers around 2.5 GHz. Fan is practically silent at 5,000 RPM. Has no problem running an Ubuntu VM in Hyper-V, was able to do software updates on both OS at the same time today with no stuttering or lag on host or client. Pretty awesome!
Best Windows Laptop hands down. Nice review video!
I’d like to see a review of the 2nd gen extreme and P1 to find out if sound is better despite no top speakers and if heat management is better. Also I understand key travel is less on new x1, is it also less on extreme 2nd gen and P1 second gen
Your way of presentation and way of talking is superb
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Great reviews! I’m stuck on which Lenovo laptop to get to edit my TH-cam videos. I record off of my phone and camera. Which would be better: X1 Carbon Gen 7 or Thinkpad x390 ... or is there a much better preference?
Hi Andrew,
I actually think X1 carbon gen6 2k is better than the 4k model. The previous year's 2k model has better brightness, amazing gamut, and Delta-E. At the same time, it has better battery life. Gen 7 has a better speaker but I don't think it worth the money. Intel 10th generation CPU is also coming soon. Is it better to wait for the next X1 Carbon? What do you think? Thanks
I'm sold. Getting this one as early as tomorrow maybe lol.
did you get it??
@@asclepius3071 No, bought the MBP 16 inch instead lol
Saving up for the this laptop. Can't wait to run Arch Linux on this bad boy
Great review.
Perfect Review does exist!
Please review X1 extreme Gen 2
Excellent review indeed
The most useful review on youtube! Thanks!
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Love your review as always! was there an issue with PWM on the UHD screen? I hear of some flickering issues on reddit...
Is this a touch screen or not?
Its great and light to use.
i watched all your review abt thinkpad T490, T490s and x1 7gen, x390 and i cant decide which one suitable for me :D haha
i dont play game, but i do some 2D graphic designer( photoshop, lightroom .. )
May i ask which one was suitable for my certain job.
Sincerely
Thanks :D very detailed reivew
Could the light of the Windows behind you change the quality of the front facing camera when you recorded the camera test? It had to much light...
Also the video is Nice, i liked it and you are allways improving, but i had a hard time reading the labels of the 4k display when you were reviewing it. Now the fhd labels were perfect. Keep up the good work.
Yes next time I will not do it by the window
Best Laptop ive ever used. (the 1080p version that is). Solid performance, great battery life, fantastic keyboard (really important, i have to type alot).
The built in ports, together with the dongle Lenovo sells for a couple bucks, get you surprisingly good connectivity and the soft touch coating just feels amazing.
Only bummer is the soldered on RAM, so consider the 16 gig model. Other than that, its a fantastic device and as an administrator you'll totally love this thing.
As far as ultraportables for work go, this is it. Bonus points for offering it with Linux. Great job Lenovo, kudos to that!
Review the Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2...with 4k display
Wish they'd stop putting the headphone jack on left side recently, though! There's no room for my hand AND my external 1 inch speaker on that side! Plenty on right where they used to put it (one of biggest reasons I'm going for 2018 model, lol)!
I'd probably buy for the bright display
The 4k panel is anti glare and wont have reflections?
Lenovo's website says it glossy finished and you said 4:37 that it is anti-glare. Which is it, please? If you look at your 8:07 mark you can clearly see the reflection/glare on the screen when the unit was turned off.
just ordered the x1 carbon 8th gen i7, 1tb SSD, 16gb RAM for $1200!
Only 93%, Andrew you are 'bad boy'. Just kidding, I have X1 Carbon 6th GEN and love it, I give it 99%; so GEN7 should be minimum 222%. Seriously, thank you so much for not only informing but also for educating all visitors to your awesome channel.
subbed!!
Why do none of the reviews include the fact that the keyboard is mil-spec'ed and spill proof? I don't care about gaming or video editing. I wanted a powerful, light weight business machine with long battery life. It gave me what I wanted with 16GB of ram being maxed and the Whislkey Lake I7. No complaints at all. Love the light weight.
I heard the FHD low power screen might have ghosting, do you have this issues ? Many thanks
Looking to buy a new ThinkPad X1 Yoga now. And I'm completely towing between the full HD or the 4K screen. The battery life is such a big factor, what to do...
Hi, just one question please, that's the same keyboard than the p53 ?
Thanks sir ;)
How reflective is this screen compared to XPS and MacBook? The video shows very high reflectivity which would mean the ar filter is not as effective.
hi Andrew just suscribe cause I like ur reviews.. I want to buy a new laptop where main concerns are battery life least 10 or more and weight..... I like this fhd option thanked, but why haven't u review yet for ex. the 2019 lg gram series...I was lookin at couldn't find none ...been z990 series in 13 14 15 17? even with touch screen....still wondering why....? saludos from Chile
hi I just got my carbon gen 7 FHD with privacy filter, but it looks a little yellow tint. Wonder if you have the same problem, or it's not a problem; it's just the display like that. Coz comparing with my mac, it's very yellow tint. Or It's because of the privacy filter? Appreciate your response.
can you upgrade the wifi card?
I’m planning getting the FHD, would you recommend with touchscreen or non touch? 400 vs 300 nits.
Your thoughts will be much appreciated- thanks
I thought about it and got the 400 nit one. It just depends on what you value more: battery life and brightness or touchscreen. I didn’t need a touchscreen so I went for the 400 nit one
Legendary ThinkPad keyboard!?
yup
This one has the lowest profile keyboard on a ThinkPad ever, how can it be legendary!?
@@alphabetamusic7 The "reviewer" said "it has the legendary ThinkPad keyboard", which sounds like a marketing statement. This is not an objective review.
if I pick Intel Cor i5 with 16 Ram, is it a big difference with Cor i7?
Is it possible to get the 4k display without the carbon weave? It seems tacky.
🇧🇷 Best review in the world.
hi can you do a review on new dell precision 7740 or HP Zbook G5 or G6
Hello Andrew, watch few of your series already, they are quite interesting. Would like to know whicj laptop would you prefer in a comparibetwrrn lattitude 7400 or 2in 1 and this lenovo x1 carbon 7th generation?i am checking on prices in Amazon and obviously watching more reviews specifically about battery life but a suggestion from you would be a great help and stimule. Thanks
so which one would you recommend and why please ?
Is this the best small laptop?
At the 4:38 mark you claim the UHD 4K display is anti-glare. That's not true it's a glossy display and I've seen other reviews where reflections from lights makes the screen really hard to read/see.
Hi there, I am debating between the lenovo yoga 730 i5 ,13.3, 8gb ram, 256 ssd on sale for 550 or the x1 7th gen i7, 16gb ram, 512 ssd on sale for 1300... any advice?
why nobody speaks about that WQHD screen? I would rather go for FHD for that double battery life, but coming from Retina world, it kinda scares me. So maybe WQHD would be the sweet spot? anybody knows how it compares to FHD?
all in all, a great review!
Same! I think I'll go for the FHD because of battery life. I already worked with other FHD display and it's definitely not that bad!
Justin Breton, “not that bad” after switching from retina might be terrible. Thats why i think WQHD might be a good choice... but nowhere to find info on battery life with wqhd......
@@HumoraraS I owned X1C 7 with WQHD (2K) screen. Battery lasts only 5.5 hours with very light load (Chrome 3- 5 tabs and Outlook client). The machine went back to Lenovo. I need a laptop which last full working office day (8+ hr is my benchmark).
I also had 4K screen. In real life scenario it lasts 4 hrs.
So this is now more expensive than a macbook pro 13 base model...
What is the bacttery life difference for both resolution how about WQHD ?
do the thunderbolt 3 port have four lanes?
are these display touch screen or Not ???
Hello Andrew! One question, if I change the resolution in the 4K display to a FHD in Windows Settings, will battery life last as long as the FHD display??? (Just in case I need that extra battery life for special occasions). THANK YOU!!! Hope you get to those 100K subscribers soon!!! Best!
Unfortunately it does not work that way as you will not save any battery by doing today. Thanks!
@@andrewmarcdavid thank you!
@@andrewmarcdavid another question. I am about to buy a new ultrabook. I currently have a maxed out Dell XPS 13 9360, which one would be better option, the Dell XPS 13 9300 or the Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen, both with Core i7 10th gen processors??
Biggest concern: camera quality
Needs dedicated graphic card till perfectness
Does anyone know what the battery life is like on the wqhd model?
If I use it mostly for Microsoft excel for building models etc. should I consider the 4K model for the extra screen real estate?
Perhaps. Maybe a good project
In India, the *base model X1 Carbon 7th gen* runs for $2100 and *MacBook pro 13" 2019 256GB* for $1,650. My workflow pretty much revolves around chrome with 10 tabs, vscode and Photoshop.
Which one should i pick?
@Sam S9 yes, but the 4k screen to make it a fair comparison with the MacBook pro.
@Sam S9 If you're from Europe then the prices will be relatively same as compared to India. Honestly at this point I'm thinking of going on with MacBook, because i use windows for adobe softwares only and main os is Ubuntu. MacOS will be a sweet spot.
@Sam S9 True, I'm about to move to EU soon for education in CS and from what i know most of the professors use ThinkPad and MacBook, I'm sure I'll go with MacBook as of now. Do let me know what you went for after making any purchase.
@Sam S9 Wow thankyou for the insight, with lots of reviewers recommending 16gb ram i was bit skeptical. Will definitely pick the base model 256 now with a Samsung T5 external ssd.
Stick with Windows, there's no benefit of Mac at all, unless for some reason you prefer the OS.
I was able to get a loaded model at under 18 hundred from their website. Excited for this to come in next week!!!
Nice!
Hi Andrew , truly amazing laptop , I have been looking for X1 Carbon that has top specs + LTE , If you know a vendor that sells such an item , please reply to my comment , Keep up the good work , I truly like your videos .
Majed
Can't order directly from Lenovo site?
Oooh...!!!
Aaah...!!!
Mmmm...!!!
Will the price go down just before the holidays...???
They usually go down FOR the holidays and then WAY down afterward.
Choose the UHD, and change to lower setting when you want more juice. Better experience when you watch a movie in UHD mode while plugged in.
It still consumes the same amount of power when you decrease the resolution
@@jonneymendoza education sources say that?
Guys this guy looks like Morgan Yu's brother from Prey. I think his name is Alex Yu is it?
can i edit video on it?
Is the uhd the same as what Lenovo is listing as WQHD on their site???
No UHD is 4K resolution. WQHD is less resolution.
Acer Swift 7 (2020) pleaseeee
Too bad the higher resolution models don't support touch...
Hi, it's is good for MCA students
Every video:
*cUuUUuUmiN up*
does the right side vent bother you?
Not at all
Can you confirm whether Dolby Vision content actually loads inside the Windows 10 Netflix App?
