This is an in depth review of the Lenovo X1 Yoga 2nd Generation 2017 laptop. This was made after everyday use for 6 months as my daily driver for medical school. No regrets in this laptop except I wish I would have cashed out for the 16gig RAM instead of 8.
Questions? post in comments section below
Specs: Intel i7-7500U 2.7ghz, 8gb RAM, 256 PCIe ssd. FHD screen. Intel HD Graphics 620.
Ports: 2 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), 3xUSB 3.0, 1xHDMI, Mini-RJ45 (ethernet adapter port), microSD, miroSIM, weight: 3.1 lbs
If this is out of your budget, go for the Yoga 720 13 inch or Thinkpad Yoga 370... or just visit the Lenovo website, there are so many 2-in-1 laptops coming out now. Also, the Yoga 720 12.5 inch model seems pretty nice and affordable!
Bought a 2nd hand of this in 2022 and I am in love with it.
I also buy a second hand x1 yoga gen2 in 2023
Price.. Kitne mai laaya
@@mr.lithium2713 i just ordered one too, how do you like it so far?
I have my x1 yoga GEN 2 this year and it still amazing laptop though it was release in 2017. All features are awesome!
About to buy Uk used gen 3 of the laptop, what’s ur experience with it pls
Awesome review
UCSF! That's impressive 👍
thanks, I don't actually go there tho, it's just a motivational wallpaper.
I own this, but the 16GB ram model. I don’t have the fan noise issue, but I will say the battery life doesn’t last long especially if you have OLED screen. If you have the LCD screen, it lasts longer: depends on how you configure.
4 hrs is realistic usage on battery drain.
I use this in a student setting where lecture involves laptop on for 2 hrs per class, some classes are 4 hours long.
Invest in a external battery bank that works with the 65W adapter wall outlet plug, cuz some classrooms aren’t near wall outlets.
yea the OLED version drains fast. I have the FHD screen and get 7 hrs average with just school work. You can set your battery to "battery saver" mode if you don't need the full processing power if just in class taking notes, makes it last noticeably longer
Doctor Komari yup, I do. But only seems to extend it for a little longer. Maybe 6 hours if lowest brightness, I know OLED screen flickers a bit of brightness is below 25% though so...that’s a pain, but I do use a complete black wallpaper, and on kindle app dark mode, is wonderful. In that utilization it lasts like 8 hours, cuz no power is used for light.
I always hope my textbooks are available in e-book kindle forum, but alas not always.
Great review. Just wondering if you compared this with the Surface Book 1. I am having a tough time trying to decide between the X1 yoga OLED 2017 vs Surface Book 1 with dedicated GPU
if you need a dedicated GPU to work graphics get the surface book, if not then, yea its a tough choice :/
I would go to stores that display similar models and play with them to see what you like to help decide
my x1 carbon 3rd gen is almost a dinosaur . it still runs smoothly . no overheatings no slowdowns .just slick . cleaned it . chenged thermopaste ... just a realy decent make IBM.
About to buy Uk used gen 3 of the laptop, what’s ur experience with it pls
Working in Lightroom and Photoshop? How is the experience?
This is great review, keep it up this great channel
Thank you for a great in-depth review. I'm considering buying Lenovo X1 Yoga (2017). Have you had any issue with your laptop? Is the screen durable and scratch resistant?
as of right now I have zero issues. I've had it for 6+ months now. If you do buy it, I would also get the Lenovo extended warranty, i got the 3 year. Resistant is relative, I don't have any scratches and I've been writing with my active pen every day.
Thank you very much for your reply and suggestions.
Thank you for your video a lot of video about X1 yoga but they don,t introduce Stylus function I think this X1 Yoga series is useful to drop notes in college
drop those notes!
Awesome video for a student rather than a business perspective. Thanks
Very nice vid :-) Could u compare the screen on the x1 yoga to the screen on your macbook? :-)
half of my macbook screen is messed up lol, I got it used.
But I would say I strongly prefer reading off of my lenovo. FHD screens are solid quality.
A week ago the 2018 version hit the shops. You might want to look into that one instead.
CoB Tyrannon Unless you don't have a laptop that you're happy with then I would not buy it but it is an amazing laptop
Important not, a usb 2.0 won't support external gpu, nor a plain old 3.0/3.1/3.2... The laptop must state that it's a thunderbolt port, it will also likely be able to charge from it as well
Would you put a link in your description to that video adapter you mentioned?
Or if you made a video of it, link to that video.
Thanks!

Thank you! Ecvellent videio why did you stop making videos?
how is the performance in 2023.
i finnaly bought it . i bought the 1st gen . just want to ask you > if it is normal that it gets hot from time to time when only using it for basic tasks like ytb videos i have the base model
I have the 2nd gen, what I would do is research how to put certain applications to sleep when not in use, sometimes there are background applications that are running. I would search in the Lenovo forums for information on this, just type in the issues you're having, I'm sure others have had similar issues and have found solutions.
I want to buy this laptop and it is second hand...it is still worth to buy on 2021?
Yes. I got mine as a refurbished earlier this year. Great machine.
What app are you using for annotations?
mostly Drawboard
is this model still worth buying up to date? last quarter of 2019?
Mine is still running strong, if you do get a Lenovo, make sure to get a warranty with it. I went for the 3 year warranty which came in clutch when it started have issues which they repaired the hard drive for free.
I might have missed it but what's the battery life like?
6-9 hrs depending on what you're doing
What is the software that allows you to markup pdf files?
Drawboard
How is the computer now a few months later?
Well I've had this for a little over a year now, the battery life is pretty strong. So far no complaints, like all computers it did freeze a couple times, but I just restarted it so no issues. I usually have several programs running when I close the laptop and opening it, turns on quickly. So far the best laptop in the world (for my needs) haha
