It has been a year since your last laptop giveaway. I really need a system for work. Could you send me your old or unused laptop, Josh? That would be a great blessing for me. Thanks
Did your Lenovo rep give you an idea when "soon" would be?
please also review the IdeaPad pro 5 models with the new core ultra 7 processor
@@user-zx4uq9rp9bthey are better bang for the buck cuz when you put a dGPU in it the cost advantage on last year's Intel models start to shine
Why has the 14.5inch been out of stock for months and when will it be available
Thank you for looking out for us Devs. Almost every youtuber makes reviews for content creators
What would you say? Yoga or g16 as developer and for game developing. But I am still a cs student
@@badnainot OP, but i suggest getting one with a gpu that suits your budget, if you're not looking into making complex 3D games, or just 2D, get the cheapest one.
Also try out the keyboard if you can, it makes a huge difference when you're comfortable typing, I had to bring my mech keyboard everywhere cause it's cozier for me
@@badnai pc might he best for game dev. Atleast thats what i have heard.
@@virgo3368 yeah I know but I am searching for something to carry with me also. But thank you
@@badnai if build quality isnt a problem then legion slim 5 14 inches is a good option. They might also launch a 2024 model this year.
I wish they refreshed a 14 inch model as well :(
hello josh i was wondering how was the color accuarcy on the yoga pro 9i 16 display was the dci p3 100% i know last years model was a lil off sometimes the blacks were washwed out looking to purchase this laptop i loved last years model but the battery life was terrible as we all know am using the new spectre with the 4050 which i like and the oled is really nice so whats your opinion on this years yoga pro 9i 16 display
Great review, Josh and team. The one thought i would have is, what is the excuse for the second usb c port not being TB on a laptop of this price? We sometimes get on Apple for deficiencies, but at least all usb c ports on MacBooks since 2020 have been TB. Also, the slower sd card reader -- it feels like Lenovo just wanted to check a box by including that port. Nonetheless, this does seem to be a pretty great laptop, and I am really glad to see 100w to the 4070. That is so important for people who might game some on this device. It makes this machine game as well with a 4070 as any other 'gaming' laptop with that component since the 4070 really doesn't gain any performance above 100w.
Fantastic work mate. As a Mac user, it has always been hard to find a gaming channel that covered battery life and especially fan noise as key factors for buying a PC kaptop. Love this channel !
Super helpful! Help me finalize my decision! Thank you!
Great review! I traded in my 2023 Yoga Pro 9i for this years. One thing I noticed is that Lenovo removed the "balanced" performance setting and replaced it with "intelligent cooling", which I've been using. I had no problem with thermals or fan noise on the 2023 version, but I'm noticing a lot more fan noise and even hitting thermal throttling unless I keep the laptop well elevated for air flow. I don't know if you still have this laptop on hand, but I would be interested to see if this is a change between the 2023 and 2024 models or if I perhaps have a bad unit.
Does the 2024 have a fingerprint reader?
JUST the video I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!
Is there any change you are reviewing laptops like the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 or similar laptops? Would be nice to see some Linux friendly laptops and your opinion on them
Thank you - great and honest review as always! Could you do a comparison of this laptop vs the new 2024 Legion 7i? Both offer a great balance between work and gaming.
Deciding between these two also. Would really like a comparison between them!😀👍
I note that Lenovo's website still lists the Yoga Pro 9i as "available soon" on the US website (as of April 2nd). That's fine. More concerning is that the tech specs list the GPU options as 4050 or 4060. No mention of the 4070 reviewed here. Hard to say what that really means. But it could be that those of us in the USA who are waiting for the 4070 version to become available will be disappointed. I asked an online Lenovo rep via their website chat, and the answer received was:
"Hello there, please know that at the moment we still don't know if the Yoga Pro 9i will be released in the USA with a 4070 GPU, however I can gladly let you know at your email as soon as we have that information"
Today (April 4) Lenovo's US website is now listing a 4060 model for sale, delivery expected end of May. No 4050 model offered, and the tech specs continue to say that 4050 and 4060 are the only GPU options. I assume we'll have to wait until late May before it's really clear whether or not the 4070 GPU in this laptop will be offered for sale in the USA.
Lenovo uses a magic eight ball to decide on naming conventions and release dates & regions
Hi I'm confused about yoga pro 9i or slim pro 9i. Which one should we buy in US?
Great review Josh. Will you review the Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Intel (14") 2024? I'm torn between the Yoga and the 2024 HP Spectre 14 2 in 1. Thanks
I can not get my hands on the 14inch but the 2in1 is everywhere I would also love a comparison
Very helpful. thank you.
Awesome review. Very well done.
Can I make a suggestion?
At the end of each review video, could you display a particular table, that we viewers could screen shot?
The table title would be for the particular class of laptop the reviewed laptop belongs to.
Then each row in the table would list this laptop’s most relevent competitors (often I don’t know which laptops provide a “apples to apples” comparison.)
Then the columns of the table display a rating from 1.0 to 10.0 for each major category: power, graphics, installed RAM, WiFi strength, battery life, keyboard temperature, price, etc.
That way, in one shot I can know this reviewed laptop’s competitors, and how each of them compare relative to each other in the various features and help me decide which one is best for me. For example, for me personally, screen brightness and keyboard quality are more important than battery life.
A consideration would be whether the scores for each feature are only relative to each other within this laptop category (ordinal scal ranking) , or if they are a rating that applies to every 2024 laptop in every use case category (e.g. 9.8 might mean the best rating, period, in a particular feature, like battery life, among all laptops one can purchase in 2024, from cheap, to super expensive.
Thank you Josh for the review. Could you please also make a review of Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 2024 (14IMH9)? It seems to be the 14" version of the laptop from this review and advise which one you'd recommend to go for?
I'm sold. I'm going to get one this year!
Would love to see the new zenbook duo get reviewed by you!
If you get a lenovo Keyboard, you'll never look back. Used yoga c740 in the past, now using X1 Yoga, and man, the keyboard experience is on a different level compared to all the older pcs.
I got an Apple keyboard instead 😊
i am simply would like to buy a laptop to myself for mostly programming (embedded sw/hw) and some entertainment. i am looking for higher resolution, good display, higher refresh rate, portability higher battery life. dGpu is not important for me hence i have a desktop for that reason. so far i have three choices: Yoga Pro 9i 2024, Asus Zephyrus G16 and Macbook Pro 16 m3 pro/max or m2 max with similar configuration (32/32 gb ram 1 tb ssd). So would yoga pro really fit for this cases? thanks ^^
These are now available in the US and Australia, yet both stores show no 4070 model
Hi! Thanks for very detailed and good reviews!
Can you make and video comparison of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 16 9i 2024 and Asus Rog G16 2024 as a content creation usability?
Keep on good work!
Me too
Is the spectre 16 in these charts really that good? It shows a huge battery life and 20W score for the perf/watt test. (especially because you said you havent seen this level of efficiency before on core ultra) Im torn between these two right now.
Does the chassis of this year version is still at the same quality as the 2023 version ?
I will soon need to buy a laptop for school, will I encounter problems with virtualization ( since it's the meteorlake group ) ?
Should i go for the 2023 version or the version with intel core ultra
Great video :) Been looking forward to this laptop!
The official specs note the HDMI port as:
"HDMI 2.1, 6Gbps, up to 4K/60Hz"
The 6Gbps meaning, that it is greatly cut down from the 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 usually supports. Could you test whether or not it actually can do 4k/60Hz (at 8 and 10 bit)? Or if it is only able to do it with Chroma subsampling.
Holy Moly, 6 Gbps ? That would be a joke. A bad one!
Ooo good catch!
EDIT Correction: see @theLugi6 response
I hate the HDMI spec renaming what 2.1 means, causing this confusing mess. And again, anything but the full 48Gbps bandwidth is unacceptable for this type of machine.
@@RedBeardedRabbit agreed, might have to look at the spectre 360 the only issue is battery life. Biggest thing I would miss from the Macbook Pro
@@RedBeardedRabbitah, that makes a surprising amount of sense. Sadly in the video it specifically mentioned HDMI 2.1 TMDS. Which cuts the usable lanes from 4 to 3, since one is needed as a timing signal.
If this is true, we'd have 18Gbps, which is the same as HDMI 2.0 and is barely not enough for 4k/60 10 bit. According to wikipedia, the highest video data rate for TMDS would just be 14.4Gbps, while the rest is used for all the extra features like audio, ethernet and error correction?
Hey Josh and Team, this laptop just released here starting at 1999 Euros. I can get a 10% discount. I initially wanted to configure it with a CU7, 64GB RAM and either iGPU or the lowest dGPU. However, (for the time being) I can only configure it with a CU9 if I want 32GB or up, which gets me an RTX 4060 at minimum. If I decide that I want 64GB I am forced to buy the 4070 model. I do full stack web development running an IDE and sometimes another editor on the side, a browser with lots of tabs, and either a VM or WSL (windows subsystem for linux). I also do other personal side projects with languages like Go.
Question is, am I future proofed enough and should I get the CU9/RTX4060/32GB config for about 2K, or pay the 370 euros premium for the RTX4070 / 64GB model?
What's the status of running an Ubuntu Linux Live USB? I had to return THREE laptops for non working speakers from two different brands because that's a problem.
Hey Josh, what do you think of the laptop *Lenovo Yoga 7i 16"* ?
Have you heard anything about the Lenovo Thinkbook 16P Gen 5?
Hi Josh, thank you for reviewing this laptop.
As always great 👍
The only thing that is unusual for you is not to mention the PWM flickering of the screen. I wish you could tell your opinion.
My "problem" is that I usually use laptops inside and I have got the minimum screen brightness set, so I always watch for the "pwm" when purchasing a laptop. This one, according to "notebookcheck net" does have pwm flickering at 6000 Hz and below 70% brightness level, which applies to me definitely. I may not be sensitive to this, but as I am using my laptop 8+ hours a day, I'm not planning on testing it ...
Does it have Gsync? This one looks great for dev, light AI, diagramming, and some gaming on the side!
Hey Josh, if it is not too much to ask, could you do a review for the top laptops atm for heating meals on their bottom side when charging? My new dorm has a horrible kitchen and I need an alternative solution. A budget option would be appreciated since I cannot buy the XPS : (
laughed and cried at same time
Are you guys going to do the review with the current 4060 model here in the US?
I was waiting for this to decide whether to wait for the 2024 model. I absolutely am waiting, this is phenomenal. Great review
Do you have the link to your best laptop video? Would like to see what other laptops were in the list.
Is Asus's Zenbook Duo UX8406MA 2024 32GB RAM good for programming as well?
Hey Josh! Any idea when the 4070 version is coming to the US market?
Someone please comment here when you do see it released!
it doesn't look like the 4070 option will be avaliable in the US, which is a massive bummer but apparently the same as last year
Hi Josh, I bought the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2024 Gen 9 2-in-1 14-inch recently, and I've noticed that the OLED display has a lot of graininess. Upon my research, I found that this issue is caused by the GF2 or OGM (One Glass Metal mesh), which is a digital layer on top of the OLED screen. I'm wondering if the Yoga 9i Pro 2024 has the same issue. Unfortunately, it's not available in my region yet. Thank you.
Yoga pro 9i is miniled, so no problem.
Can you review the Newest MSI stealth 14 inch and 16 inch?
Can you do a video about best touchpads? I know MacBook is usually the winner but I have to use software that doesn’t do well on macs for work. Would be great seeing a comparison of touchpads since this video didn’t really talk about the touchpad and some videos leave me wondering. Can’t always use a mouse, especially when on the go working in the car.
Hey Josh and team!
What do you recommend, a yoga pro 9i with ultra core 9, 32gb ram, mini-led touch, rtx 4060 (2300€) or Legion slim 7i glacier white with 13700h, 32gb ram, rtx 4060, 3200 res screen (1550€).
The Yoga is brand new with 3 years premium care warranty, while the Legion only has a one year warranty, and is from ebay, apparently had faulty ram which was repaired (checked repair ticket with lenovo) , the seller mentioned the faulty ram but claims the laptop was unused.
I have seen tons of your reviews, and decided to take your advice and order the Yoga pro 9i. I would mainly use it for music production but like doing some color grading when I have the time. I don't game.
I wanted something that was closest to a Windows Macbook Pro laptop. (good screen, build, speakers, etc)
The Legion just popped up and the difference in price is significant (800€)
I would love to know what your recommendation would be. Is the Yoga pro 9i worth 800€ more?
(I still have a chance to return the Yoga and buy the Legion if its still available)
You guys are all awesome, just keep up the wonderful work, the community really appreciates what you guys do.
Thank you and all the best!
on the same boat.
the last year 2023 was giving 40 percent of 4060 models not 17 percent as you mentioned in the video after the torcher test.😃😃
Ive been looking at all the 2in1's and the inly remaining comparison is the new Samsung Book 4 2in1. I'm just glad i can sit and wait after this review since the spectre 360 is about to go off sale. The performance difference is too wide!
Now thats a laptop worth buying. We just need more info on the diferent skews and price.
I got the last years 9i pro 14,5” miniled with i9,4070 64gb lpddr5 and I have highly enjoyed it. Yeah battery life ain’t great but other things count up for that.
Hey Josh, how does one purchase the 64gb ram version? I am in the USA and the Lenovo UK site won't let me use a USA address. Is there any alternative to get it shipped to USA?
Great video! Very informative and well explained.
Are these display panels on the Yoga gsync/freesync compatible?
Hi Josh! first of all, can't thank you enough for the quality of the in-depth review you provide for the community. I have a query - in Australia, this laptop is going on a sale with the following IPS display spec - 'IPS, Glare, Touch, 400 nits, 165Hz, Glass'. How does it compare to the Mini-Led panel? Will it be worth it to go for the IPS panel?
I'm nitpicking here, but isn't the contrast between the keys and the laptop too low, to the point where it's hard to see the keys? I know certain light grey colorways from ASUS are notorious for this, so was wondering if this Lenovo Yoga Pro might have the same issue.
Is the new pro 9 able to charge by dockingstation ? because the 2022 version was not
?
How would the 16" rate against the 16" Legion 5i Pro with similar RAM, GPU and SSD, both in terms of performance and value?
Excellent review as always. Thanks Sir.
I'm from the US and don't see an option to configure 4070
Waiting for the same.
Josh, do you plan on making an updated video ranking the best notebooks for developers before July?
I was looking for the best options, with 14’, among the updated versions that are being released this year. There are some options considering big brands such as Asus, Lenovo, HP and Dell, but I can’t really figure out what would be the best option considering all their qualities and flaws..
I need a new notebook to work with SAP and need to make my money worth when choosing my next notebook, as I probably wont be able to buy another one for the next years.
Your reviews and ranking are awesome! Thanks for the quality of the videos and all the info provided.
The only thing I wish my 2021 zephyrus g14 could do better was have a brighter screen. Otherwise, it's a solid laptop!
Thanks for your review ! I can't wait until the Yoga pro 9i comes out in April, I will be buying one
Hi Josh! Could you check if the HDMI 2.1 port on the new Yoga Pro 9i is the full 48Gbps capable of 4k 120Hz? In my country, the spec sheet seems to say HDMI 2.1 6Gbps. Thank you!
I reached out to them for you
Hi Josh, did you get any update from Lenovo?
unfortunately, it's TMDS for some reason, so 4k 60Hz max
Re upgradability: is it the same as last year? 2 SSD slots, memory and wifi soldered? and is the wifi 6E or 7?
WiFi 6e, You can add an extra stick of storage and the memory is soldered
Actually a practical laptop..well i am interested in knowing if xps 14 35 watt 4050 is even worth it in comparison to integrated graphics?i sure am curious about it
I ordered my Yogi 9i a four days ago when it finally came available for me. The order said I would get it May 28-30, a long wait but I've been waiting since Josh's review for it to become available. I got 32Gb RAM, 1TB storage and 3.2K (3200 x 2000), Mini-LED, Glare, Touch screen. 2 days ago I got am email saying it was on and now I am getting it tomorrow April 10th !!!! can't wait to get it and see how it performs, Thanks again for the review Josh and also your suggestion I wait for this laptop if I was in no hurry. I also got a $100 discount code from Lenevo which was good.
How do you like it so far??
@@forestfire47 Today I started to use it by installing Win 11 Pro and then the apps I use on a regular basis. I cant say I have used it long enough to say how I like it. I'm a desktop guy and have been using an iPad for years so the last laptop I bought had Win 7.......lol With that said the display is amazing, I watched a few 4k videos and they were so crisp and clear to the point I have never seen anything like it on a computer. I can only say it is like my 4K Smart TV's. The laptop feels solid and the keyboard is great to use, it has a nice backlight and the keys feel very good. It will be a few days before I really start using it but once again I am a desktop guy, I got this just to have a new laptop for when I travel. I have to set it up the way I like my computers, I also have to get rid of the Microsoft free trail of office off the laptop. Sorry this isn't much of a review on the Yogi 9i 2024 but I don't regret spending the money I did to buy it.
Hi! How do you like it so far??
Finally a review of this system, I have been waiting eons to see a full dive into it. Don't get me wrong, I still have issues with the decisions Lenovo is making, but they're still overall a solid laptop. Unfortunately, they killed the 14 inch, which had better battery life and port selection and was more portable, probably why they killed it off because they were tired of getting roasted for the smaller laptop being better. Also, something that needs to be clarified by channels doing reviews of this system: the 4070 SKU does not appear on the Lenovo Canada website, so if it is available, it is only available in the US, which is such a miss by Lenovo again, especially for the likely $3,000 price point in this market. It is also not available with 64GB of memory in the Canadian market.
I don't understand why manufacturers bother to release these products in markets outside the US if they're hindered versions. Why would you not want your best products available across the global market? It's idiotic, and infuriating as someone that's been in tech for over 20 years and has watched this BS become more common.
Edit: Evidently it only comes with a 4060 in the US market as well, at least according to Lenovo's own website. So, seemingly, they're not bringing the 4070 model to either of their biggest markets. I just don't understand. Stop sending a model to reviewers that nobody in their market can buy, or even in any market, it seems.
US isn't getting the 4070 sku either, just the 4060. BUT a full powered 4060 at that. There are a TON of under powered 4070's floating around the laptop landscape right now like the Samsung Galaxy Book Ultra 4 so at least Yoga doesn't skimp out in that regard. I would have also liked this with a 4070 and 64gb of ram...
I have been waiting patiently for this video! I have this laptop in my wish list based on what I read about it and thought this would be better than the Asus Zenbook and Studiobook. Asus seems to have quality issues that I cannot look past. I could tell from the smile on your face during this information that you were very pleased with this laptop! The specs check out and I wanted your video to see if my hunch was validated. This is mine come April!!! Thanks for uploading!
hey Josh, thanks for the great video. Have you ever heard of the horribly designed 'side power switch' that fails very easily? There are tons of complaints about this and some proper research about it might help us out, maybe even a video about it. Salem also has a video about it saying he always got lots of Yoga's with that issue in for repair, which turn out barely repairable. I am personally wanting this, but its out in April sadly. Also, any news on Spectre 16 watt/perf limit?
We have been informed by HP that the Spectre 16 has a bug with performance. So our review is on hold while they address it
@shTech thanks Josh, Team. Is this one also comfortable when using on the lap?
Any insights on Legion 7i versus Yoga 9i ?
How does this laptop compare to the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 9?
Will you be making review of Galaxy Book4 series?
Buy the 360 pro is a beast
Hey! Great video. Any idea why Lenovo is only selling the model with the 4060 right now? Can't find this model with the 4070 on their site. Thanks!
I have asked them to add the configuration asap!
@@JustJoshTech Awesome, thanks! I was beginning to wonder if they decided not to have the 4070 as a config option after all.
@@TheAnalyticsProfessor Two weeks and still no 4070 on Lenovo's site. Bummer summer.
This is my next laptop i was really going to get the Xps 16 or this
Would loved seeing comparisons with the Legion Slim 7 AMD rather than or in addition to the Intel version as I’m eyeing both the Slim 7 and this Yoga one. Battery life/fan noise/temperatures seem good with both so wanted to see which would win between them 👀
It will be in our legion video
Trying to figure out if I should get the Legion 7i or Yoga Pro 9i. I like the Yoga for overall efficiency but the Legion for more performance. Primary usage will be Resolve, Blender and possibly some programming.
I got in the same situation too. For me, I do Blender and programming too but I also don't do much gaming and would like a decent screen with decent battery, so I go with Yoga. If you do Blender profesionally (as a job) and requires power I think Legion can also be a great choice. Either way, this is just my thoughts, I'm still kinda lost 😅
@@alexkhangbg Did you get it? Is it good?
Yoga Pro 9i Gen 8 (16″ Intel) vs Yoga Pro 7i Gen 9 (14" Intel) which must i buy ?
Nice. Wish they made a slimmer version without a dedicated GPU though.
what about the Ideapad pro 5i with same specs - 32GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 16" I think same screen, i think that one is faster than this one... for what I do... they both look pretty similar but different name and the chasis is a little sleeker in the 9i
Can u do a full review for the hp omen transcend 14 showcasing bettery life and performance fro different games??
It will be out early next week
@@JustJoshTechcool thanks bro ur vids are amazing
I got one with max specs. This thing runs so cool for the performance I love it!
Great!
I bought the 2023 version 3 months ago...
Hello mate, are you experiencing an overheating issue? I got this laptop 2 months ago and even on normal usage it's burning.
@@360World-ts2rsthis laptop should not run hot at all, I use it under heavy load and the temps do no exceed 80c
We want the 14 inch model...for this year! With intel cpu and nvidia graphics....
Would be nice if you left charts on the screen for longer! I had to rewind and pause several times lol
I know this won't help much right now, but we are improving our website and will eventually add the graphs there
@@JustJoshTechoh finally! If you could get inspired by the rtings website it would be amazing. I could pay to access such a website about laptop
Is it available with a real mate screen? Only question important for me. The rest seems to be what I need.
Dear Josh! Can you include more information about how linux-friendly are laptops in your videos? I remember you said it in some videos already.
We probably should have done it in this one, as its a very good one for coders. What i'll try to do is do the Linux testing in laptops that I believe are good for coders. I don't think we need to do it in all though, as unfortunatley it's a smaller audience
@@JustJoshTech Would love to see Linux compatibility testing on the new asus duo 2024 if you review it. Would probably have to write some script to auto enable disable secondary screen on keyboard attach event but as long as everything else works I'd be happy to do that.
@@getohonestly most people that buy laptop is this price range expecially the one with h series cpu wont use linux, linux is mostly used on weaker device where windows often run like crap
@@JustJoshTech Well, if you provide information and if it happens that the laptops are well compatible, then you'd help the audience grow :D
I tried 2023 version of this with 13905 And it was terrible, tried to make IT works fór 4 days.. keyboard working ONLY half of the time, audio not working (ONLY internal on 1% of volume), display had terrible colors (too red contrast). tried everything... Latest kernel, 10+ drivers, 6+ color profiles, manual calibration,....nothing Worked corrctly
Great video Josh! Do you have any idea of the price of the laptop? It doesn’t show on the website since it isn’t on sale yet.
We expect around $2k like last year
...starting from around $2000 with top-spec a lot above that.
Hi, I'm an upcoming student from the UK and was wondering if this laptop would be good for the following: studying and university and video editing as I'm thinking of starting a yt channel but can't afford a MacBook
You can buy yoga pro 9i 2024.
In the UK, this laptop is similar in price to a Macbook.
@@andyH_England oh, expensive then
why does Lenovo send reviewers a top spec model then not offer it to retail....😑
Sir can you please do a review of Yoga Slim 7i 2024 with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H?
Please do it because it is affordable and many people are interested.
When you will do?
Josh, can you start testing the claims of USB-C charging? I've found Lenovo's implementation to be sub-par. I've hit all sorts of issues using premium, mainstream charging brands (Anker, UGREEN, Hyper).
Lenovo's website seems to indicate that they only offer a 4050 or 4060. Will see if they update the page later.
they didn't offer the 4070 option in the US last year apparently, possibly the same this year. super bummed out by that, may have to try and get one from overseas
Hey, would you rather recommend the Yogo Pro 9i or the Slim 7i? I want a notebook for studying, coding and gaming. Thanks in advance!
2024 Pro 9i is much better
@shTech Thanks for the fast response! I am sorry, I meant the Legion 7i (2024).
After Dave 2D video I knew I needed this.
did he do a review? i dont find anything :(

Is it also the best in the EU, where the price is 1k higher?
will you review the asus vivobook pro 2024?
Do you guys plan to do a Legion 7i Gen 9 review soon?
Of course but not soon. It isn't for sale in the USA yet
@@JustJoshTech best buy is now selling it! 👍
@@PixlBrothers perfect thank you
4:33, since all 4070 is watttage limited how 7i pulls that much gpu score?
How's the fan noise compared to other laptops like this? I've watched a Dave2d video about this, want to confirm if its true or not.
fan noise around 51 db at the highest and doesn’t have a high pitched sound like most asus laptops emit
Is there any word on the 4070 model with 64 GB in the US? The Lenovo site shows only 4060 and 32 GB available for purchase. I'm anxious to get my hands on one.
it’s possible in the next couple months. I was waiting for the 4070 till I realized the 4060 variant has the gloss and touch screen while the 4070 has matte and no touch.
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree where can you find the information about 4070 only having matte and no touch? Thanks!
This isn't being advertised as a Gaming laptop but is clearly up there with Zephyrus G16 with a 4070! Though after looking at the Specs, the G16 seems to be a little bit thinner, which might explain cooler temperatures and lower fan noise on this.
You are right. Please wait for my G16 video this week
@@JustJoshTech
Waiting eagerly :)
@@JustJoshTechbetween the yoga pro 9i for $1699.99 and the g16 on sale for $1599.99 which one should i buy id mainly use for email and watching videos . Gaming on like fortnite possibly but not a dealbreaker for me.
The choices in my country are Touch screen gloss mini LED only with the 4050 and 4060 GPU's and 32GB RAM. OR Non-touch Matte mini LED unlocks the 4070 and 64GB options. Kind of want it all! But having to choose is really difficult. Does anybody know what the Matte mini LED screen is like compared to the Glossy? Is it noticeably less suppressing the color pop of the Gloss screen? Or in fact is the Matte screen a better choice because of lack of reflections?
I also have some trouble to choose between 4060with glass and 4070with matte😅😅
Is it still have 100w usbc power for the 16?
It looks like it will yet again only come with a 4060 in the US. Would you still recommend for someone that does 3d modeling and Unreal Engine work? I really am attracted to the PureSight MiniLED screen.
Yes I would. 4060 to 4070 isn't that different. its more about the power that the manufacturer feeds it. So if Lenovo feeds 4060 similar power, then performance will be similar
@JustJoshTech thank you for the reply. Just watched your review of the G16 and back here rewatching this one.
Just purchased! Arrives in April. Thanks for the review
