fix the bezels and get rid of the giant yoga book text and i will be interested also make the entire keyboard part the same material it looks so weird being mixed like that like a keyboard bezel
Lack of backlight makes is a DOA device imo. After finally getting backlight on my new laptop I can't go back; it's immensely useful in so many scenarios. Great video as always!
I have the original Yoga Book. Still use it when I'm traveling ultra light. The biggest issues for me where the lack of LTE, battery life and a loss of typing speed. Without LTE and no backlight thi a is DOA for me. I look forward to your review. Tell Lenovo to get LTE into this device or their target audience won't buy it. And $1000?That buys a lot of laptop power, that price is a mistake
@@vintagewander the US version did not have LTE available when I purchased it. But completely agree with you, this new one, at that price without LTE or backlight is a none starter
@@JeffJacquesmd honestly using the original Yoga Book with LTE whether you're on Windows or Android, that's obviously a really big advantage over other windows tablet, and it has a keyboard with a wacom pen as well, still got a decent chip with 4GBs of Ram and 128 SSD and the price always fall under 500$, I don't really know what was Lenovo thinking ? They killed it
It worked fine on the iPhone, don't know why other companies didn't steal the idea and ran with it, knowing android maybe they did then they copied them again once they got rid of it. 😅
I have the first version of Yoga Book and I really like it. For a while I was worried that Lenovo might give up on this project, but I'm glad they are forging ahead with it. This form factor is perfect for Windows on Arm, so I hope Lenovo continues this project.
I can't deal with the lack of physical keyboard but man the innovation and technology these companies are pumping out is amazing. Excited to see where it continues to go.
As a professional student, I love my original Yoga Book. I don't use it often, anymore, because notes have to be taken so fast that I can't hand write them anymore. I loved my Yoga Book in undergrad. I still love it now. I am glad to see that they are giving it the update it deserves.
Recommending the Blackberry Key2 in one breath and this laptop in the next requires someone of undoubted genius and creativity. Fortunately, Michael, you qualify! :-)
I like it. This is improvement over the previous model in almost every aspect. It would be perfect for people who value portability and long battery life.
Then Google have to add the E-ink Keyboard support in Chrome OS for this particular hardware. Hardware manufacturers can't add new features on Chrome OS just like they can on Windows and Android.
Love the first yoga book. Typing on it is not bad. I have the android model and am watching youtube on it now. I use it every day, and the battery life is pretty good. Drawing on it is a dream, I make lots of illustrations on it. Hook it up to a giant monitor and it is awesome. Wish I could afford the new one, but I am saving for the Lenovo Legion y730. My main PC kicked the bucket 3 months ago.
Mr Mobile definitely deserves more. Very good work ethic. From scriptwriting to camera execution and video editing. Im with you on this. Our favorite nerd in the world deserves way more than what he has now.
I've tried both the android and windows version of the previous model, I think the android version is more practical than the windows version. The windows version is laggy, slow, and getting errors frequently.. Too bad they are not making the android version anymore. The fingerprint reader is something that I'd really like to have, also the update to usb type C would be pleasing because the previous model will charge so slowly. I still hoping that they would make the cheaper android variant for the new yoga book.
I'm glad they didn't give up on the Yoga Book concept. I had a Yoga Book (had to sell it since I was low on money) and it was absolutely amazing. I thought that after 2 years Lenovo abandoned the idea but clearly the didn't and the eink idea is really clever. The only thing I wonder is why they are going strictly with Windows 10 and no Chrome OS version?
Why wouldn't they use an OLed screen for the keyboard area? You could've implemented your own keyboard theme stores and sell pro versions with effects and have free ones through the windows store. I wish I had the money or the team to create inventions done right, cause I think this was done just to say hey look here's the version everyone wanted, instead of already knowing that.
Same problem that the previous one had, the display could have been bigger for the size... The bezels are too thick (in my opinion). It is so innovative, i love the e-ink
I would love to try this machine out. Looks like a good casual doodler with programs like Krita and Clip Paint Studio, lightweight PC for any other thing besides doodling, and in a pinch, type words in.
Love this device except foe 2 issues...backlight and an issue with using it in tablet mode where I can't avoid double tapping the eink display and switching to that display and turning off the main one. I haven't found a way to stop this except by trying to only hold it by the edges.
It's so close to being a sell but without that backlight, it's not quite going to make it. And added functionality to use other apps on the e ink screen would make this a college students dream laptop.
Just tested the l8st version - lovely design. And it is better than the Surface. And better than the Macbook line if u can move away from apple staples ...
wow 3rd video of the day 🤩 i am not interested to buy key 2 nor this laptop but watching your video bcoz of your voice and beautiful review ❤❤❤ and plz bring back old background music
I'm just wondering about the Google apps like Google spreadsheet. Is it full mode? Or just the mobile one? Can I still use the script like the desktop one?
But wait... Does it have the Wacom digitizer anymore? That was a huge reason of why I wanted the original. I'm a digital artist and not having to carry a graphics tablet would be amazing.
Having owned the Android version Yoga Book - that e Ink keyboard is what it should have been from the beginning (and what everyone assumed it already was when I had showed it off). I don't think I've ever used the backlight of any laptop keyboard, so the lack of one might not be a problem for me - although, without physical keys, there's still the occasional peeking at the layout. I will definitely be waiting on a full review of this one.
many people cmoplain about lack of a backlit keyboard, which is indeed an issue, but a bigger issue for me is lack of any option with more than 4GB RAM for 1000$ and up...
Is there a possibility to switch languages? Many review mention a customizable multi-language keyboard, but many don’t. I really love the whole concept of this product and would like to buy it for my dad as well, BUT for me it is imperative to be able to switch between languages, whilst for my dad is more important, as he speeds and writes only Russian. Any help, please? Is there maybe a possibility to switch languages and type on the main screen, like on your regular tablet? The reason for me asking, is that I found contradictory info, even a Lenovo support agent saying it is impossible, whilst in your video u mention it being possible. I would greatly appreciate the advice on this matter, about being able to switch between English and Russian keyboard, please help! Thank you in advance (interested in the model with the e-ink display)
Just a question: Should I sell my Dell 7567 and get this laptop to be my do-everything device (relying on my xbox for gaming) or should I stick with my laptop?
The lack of backlight doesn't make much sense to me. It's already so thin, that even if they did have to add a couple of millimeters to light up the keys, it'd still be absurdly thin to the point where it's impressive. Still, a cool device. Not great for me, because most of what I do with a laptop is writing, and I couldn't do without the tactility of physical keys, but it's still SO cool to look at.
I have the original 2016 version with Windows and I still carry it with me near every day. It's quick, light sounds great and has a beautiful screen. But the keyboard..... I still can't type on it for more that a couple sentences. I have a larger more powerful laptop at home for any content creation work I need to do. But as a content consumption device, nothing beats my Yogabook. I'd be very interested in the upgrade but for $1000?!? Yikes!! I paid $550 for mine purchased directly from Lenovo. Maybe the upgrade in power is worth it.
I can't understand why if manufacturers don't have enough room for a keyboard backlight they don't just put side emitting leds angled into the base of the screen to flood the keyboard or a small popup led floodlight above the keyboard you can tap on and it jumps up like a cupola. 1 or 2 leds vs 88 for a backlit keyboard should take less battery as well.
Love everything about the 2nd gen Yoga book, specially the e-ink display for textbook reading. But I am extremely skeptical about the battery life, these kind of 2-in-1 devices never deliver on the promised battery life. Think Surface products.
Micheal why did you say it also comes in m3 for less money 💰, you know something that even Lenovo doesn’t know , where is this yoga book c90 with the m3 core at 🧐
what was the point of this device? last yoga book is a hybrid between a tablet, a notebook and a wacom tablet. if you cut out the wacom tablet you just got your self a 2 in 1 device with a touch keyboard and non upgradable component. isnt it a bit of hasle?
No backlit keyboard is a deal breaker for me on any laptop nowadays. I've got a Lenovo Flex Pro 2 and a MacBook 12, and both have backlit keyboards. I don't think I could go back to unlit now. And especially not for $1000.
seems strange that lenovo would wanna abandon the one thing they excel at. e-ink is really cool though. woah. does it have an e-reader mode with competitive battery life?
This is a great Yoga book and certainly people should have bought the first edition and certainly should buy the second edition. If it was Apple's, people would have bought in a heart beat, as if the best tech only appears on Apple LOL. Honestly, the ones who believe that, are totally crazy :D Hey Micheal where is the Sony Xperia XZ3 initial review?
While I really enjoy the concept, it’s clear that we still haven’t arrived in the era where proper execution is possible (or at least, without it costing an arm and a leg).
Looks nice for sure...but a thousand dollars nice? My Lenovo Yoga A12 was just $299. With a new launcher, it has become my "laptop" of choice for travel. And the halo keyboard lights up (even if you really don't want to type for a long time on it😁).

You got the windows version? How long the battery hold up may i ask?
Berhnardt Do About 5 hours, and really under powered. I’m really interested in the device. But no LTE? No backlighting? Those are serious issues
The original Yoga Book has LTE and is still far more "worth" the price than this 1000$ with no backlight or LTE which sucks

Who can? :D

I always wondering does apple "force touch" or '3d touch" like technology could perfectly works on these flat touch keyboard....

I am really impressed with its form factor. I can't wait to see the full review.

3 videos in a day...you are on fire man....
Yes I need a lit keyboard. It's a no go without it. Nice video as always from the only real mrmobile.
This is the most detailed review I have seen so far
Recommending the Blackberry Key2 in one breath and this laptop in the next requires someone of undoubted genius and creativity. Fortunately, Michael, you qualify! :-)
I am so excited for eink on this! I own a Kindle Oasis and this will perfectly complement that
I like it. This is improvement over the previous model in almost every aspect. It would be perfect for people who value portability and long battery life.
I'm super excited for this device. I skipped out on the 1st yogabook because the lack of USB C.
This is more like the old school videos you did when you were part of Pocketnow, I like it.
This seems like the perfect hardware for a chromebook
Then Google have to add the E-ink Keyboard support in Chrome OS for this particular hardware. Hardware manufacturers can't add new features on Chrome OS just like they can on Windows and Android.
This one looking good. Innovation is always welcome.
Love the first yoga book. Typing on it is not bad. I have the android model and am watching youtube on it now. I use it every day, and the battery life is pretty good. Drawing on it is a dream, I make lots of illustrations on it. Hook it up to a giant monitor and it is awesome. Wish I could afford the new one, but I am saving for the Lenovo Legion y730. My main PC kicked the bucket 3 months ago.
Y'all we gotta help Mr.Fisher break one million, I'm sharing every video from now on, anyone with me?
David hunsinger yes... I do that so frequently in the class that my friends ended up calling me fisher siddiqui

Thumbnail 10/10 also 2 vids in 1 day , is it Christmas
3 vids * check again
I have a yoga book a12 and I 100% love it. Hope Lenovo can make a new one as well.

I have one and I love it , Super thin and light .I wish it had 8gb and 512Gb storage and thunderbolt .
Michael you're on fire today!
I'm interested with this product, can't wait for the review!!
Cool! Good preview!
We have been blessed with 3 Mr Mobile videos in a day 🙏🙏🙏
MrMoblie is on 🔥 today and videos are lit as usual
I always wished for a sequel but I never thought it would.
Why wouldn't they use an OLed screen for the keyboard area? You could've implemented your own keyboard theme stores and sell pro versions with effects and have free ones through the windows store.
I wish I had the money or the team to create inventions done right, cause I think this was done just to say hey look here's the version everyone wanted, instead of already knowing that.
Ive been waiting for the yogabook to be refreshed..
Looks awesome.
great review thanks 👍👍👍👍
Will wait for next version - with backlighting
Oh and ARM platform
You are the best orator when it comes to review.
You should have your own tv show.
big fan.
since pocketnow days.
Damn! 3 Videos in a day. Why are you spoiling me like that
I love my Yoga Book and was hoping for a sequel, cause that Atom processor just isn't enough. That being said, 1000 bucks is steep.
Yeah. I have that too. I was hoping for it to be a similar price.
@@JBuchmann yeah, like at 1000 bucks there's honestly just better options as much as it sucks to have to say that.
You on a roll today 👍🏾
Wow! No backlight is a deal breaker.
This is a good idea, hope it comes to be a good product. Please review further this product and is format support on the e ink side.
This would be great with backlight. The e-ink capabilities are very interesting. Probably next model.
That self-opening feature is a god damn game changer haha.
Same problem that the previous one had, the display could have been bigger for the size... The bezels are too thick (in my opinion). It is so innovative, i love the e-ink
I would love to try this machine out. Looks like a good casual doodler with programs like Krita and Clip Paint Studio, lightweight PC for any other thing besides doodling, and in a pinch, type words in.
What is the pen you used from? Is it an apple one a Lenovo one or a microsoft one? Reallly like it
Love this device except foe 2 issues...backlight and an issue with using it in tablet mode where I can't avoid double tapping the eink display and switching to that display and turning off the main one. I haven't found a way to stop this except by trying to only hold it by the edges.
Currently looking for a android tablet so a android version of this would have been nice.
mr mobile will you check xz3? thanks.
It's so close to being a sell but without that backlight, it's not quite going to make it. And added functionality to use other apps on the e ink screen would make this a college students dream laptop.

Wow 3k views, 300 likes, zero dislikes. That's pure class😎
dude I liked the sponsor review more than the yoga book review damn
How about a taptic motor like the one used in a iPhone 7 and 8 to get feedback for a touch keyboard.
I think it's a good solution
wow 3rd video of the day 🤩 i am not interested to buy key 2 nor this laptop but watching your video bcoz of your voice and beautiful review ❤❤❤
and plz bring back old background music
this thing is super cool
Anything about the hardware? I'm a fan of the original yogabook, but the hardware made it so slow it was barely usable
Meet the future MacBook Pro keyboard. Maybe they'll call it the "Touchpad."
"Touchboard"?
changing languages on the keyboard should be just a setting? i want this Yoga
I'm just wondering about the Google apps like Google spreadsheet. Is it full mode? Or just the mobile one? Can I still use the script like the desktop one?
wow this is amazing...comparing sony's digital paper, i wonder how they got the cost down? plus this has way more versatility
But wait... Does it have the Wacom digitizer anymore? That was a huge reason of why I wanted the original. I'm a digital artist and not having to carry a graphics tablet would be amazing.

So cool!
This thing looks nice.
Ok, that's pretty awesome. I want one.
I dont need one but I'll get one one day!
Just a question: Should I sell my Dell 7567 and get this laptop to be my do-everything device (relying on my xbox for gaming) or should I stick with my laptop?
BTW I mainly game with it as well as take notes with it in school
So it's a keyboard you can only track keys by looking at it... Without a backlight?
Omg Woah!!! *Reaction to how it opens*
Great idea but just not there yet!

Anyone figure out how to hold this thing in tablet mode without invoking the eink display?
I can't understand why if manufacturers don't have enough room for a keyboard backlight they don't just put side emitting leds angled into the base of the screen to flood the keyboard or a small popup led floodlight above the keyboard you can tap on and it jumps up like a cupola. 1 or 2 leds vs 88 for a backlit keyboard should take less battery as well.
Do you think the first generation still worth buying? It now cost $250-350.
Was this released with that e-ink keyboard?
