[LENOVO YOGABOOK C930 HANDS-ON]
Back in 2016 I called the Lenovo Yoga Book the most interesting laptop I’d ever touched … and it just got a sequel. From IFA 2018 in Berlin, I’m MrMobile, and this is the new laptop of the future: the Lenovo Yoga Book C930!

Dear Michael can you survive a day without technology ?
Who can? :D
@@McRocket They have technology too.
Russ Cooke not if they're legit Amish
@@6644pmr The wheel is Technically technology so......
What will be price
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
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 $1000?That buys a lot of laptop power, that price is a mistake
You got the windows version? How long the battery hold up may i ask?
Berhnardt Do About 5 hours, and really under powered. I’m really interested in the device. But no LTE? No backlighting? Those are serious issues
The original Yoga Book has LTE and is still far more "worth" the price than this 1000$ with no backlight or LTE which sucks
@@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
They ditched the backlight for the sake of thinness?
I always wondering does apple "force touch" or '3d touch" like technology could perfectly works on these flat touch keyboard....
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. 😅
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
@@furqansiddiqui8129 he deserves as many subs as MKBHD gas
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 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.
Thumbnail 10/10 also 2 vids in 1 day , is it Christmas
3 vids * check again
Meet the future MacBook Pro keyboard. Maybe they'll call it the "Touchpad."
"Touchboard"?
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.
3 videos in a day...you are on fire man....
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.
1K for a laptop with 4GB of RAM is a crime against computing. WTH is Lenovo thinking?
Look at that thing .... Now look at other laptops ... See anything like it ?
No
You are paying for the hardware , it's a premium for those who need it .. I'd say it's absolutely worth it .
Also whoever buys it won't use it for high end works they'll mostly have a second workstation .
That self-opening feature is a god damn game changer haha.
This is more like the old school videos you did when you were part of Pocketnow, I like it.
Recommending the Blackberry Key2 in one breath and this laptop in the next requires someone of undoubted genius and creativity. Fortunately, Michael, you qualify! :-)
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!
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.
I have one and I love it , Super thin and light .I wish it had 8gb and 512Gb storage and thunderbolt .
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.
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.
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.
0:43 That's cool! =D
Yes I need a lit keyboard. It's a no go without it. Nice video as always from the only real mrmobile.
Currently looking for a android tablet so a android version of this would have been nice.
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.
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.
This is the most detailed review I have seen so far
We have been blessed with 3 Mr Mobile videos in a day 🙏🙏🙏
I am really impressed with its form factor. I can't wait to see the full review.
Michael you're on fire today!
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.
I always wished for a sequel but I never thought it would.
Wow! No backlight is a deal breaker.
If the Keyboard can be used as a fully functional Drawing tablet for digital artists, then it might be worth it.
I am so excited for eink on this! I own a Kindle Oasis and this will perfectly complement that
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?
I'm super excited for this device. I skipped out on the 1st yogabook because the lack of USB C.
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.
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).
The Yota phone makes it's return in form of Laptop.
Will wait for next version - with backlighting
Oh and ARM platform
MrMoblie is on 🔥 today and videos are lit as usual
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
2:32 that glitch when one clicks on the airplane quick actions
Damn! 3 Videos in a day. Why are you spoiling me like that
great review thanks 👍👍👍👍
I have a yoga book a12 and I 100% love it. Hope Lenovo can make a new one as well.
dude I liked the sponsor review more than the yoga book review damn
Ahahahahahah, after entire day on TH-cam I finally got it. That title supposed to be pronounced on proper way. Well played mrMobile :D :D
Looks awesome.
Jeez, no backlight is a deal breaker. 1000 bucks is a lot but would have been very tempting if there was a backlight on the e-ink display.
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 $1000.
Ive been waiting for the yogabook to be refreshed..
Cool! Good preview!
I can live without physical keyboard. Keyboard sometimes vulnerable to dust that will result to malfunctioning later on.
@Willie WMS quite often. For some reason there's a lot of dust in my home and some keys get clunky or just looks so ugly. I tried cleaning it but its just too hard to get in between the keys.
Wow 3k views, 300 likes, zero dislikes. That's pure class😎
This is one of those products that look/sound cool but aren't really practical. It would take me a while to get used to typing.
I have the original Yoga Book, and I must say, you'll get used to it after roughly 2 months
Just tested the l8st version - lovely design. And it is better than the Surface. And better than the Macbook line if u can move away from apple staples ...
Shame about the ram I'll wait for the next one
Sir,
Lame reaction was priceless.
Having owned the Android version Yoga Book - that e Ink keyboard is what it should have been from the beginning (and what everyone assumed it already was when I had showed it off). I don't think I've ever used the backlight of any laptop keyboard, so the lack of one might not be a problem for me - although, without physical keys, there's still the occasional peeking at the layout. I will definitely be waiting on a full review of this one.
But wait... Does it have the Wacom digitizer anymore? That was a huge reason of why I wanted the original. I'm a digital artist and not having to carry a graphics tablet would be amazing.
That’s like selling a pen without the clicking
This would be great with backlight. The e-ink capabilities are very interesting. Probably next model.
many people cmoplain about lack of a backlit keyboard, which is indeed an issue, but a bigger issue for me is lack of any option with more than 4GB RAM for 1000$ and up...
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 dont need one but I'll get one one day!
What is the pen you used from? Is it an apple one a Lenovo one or a microsoft one? Reallly like it
Great idea but just not there yet!
Wow, at $1,000 it's nearly twice as much as the previous generation (Win version) when it came out!
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.
Watching this on my og yoga book
But the physical keys just give me the satisfaction.
Some people on internet: stfu they are being innovative
Me:...okay😢
this thing is super cool
Yeah no back light is a massive deal breaker, specially at that price. With physical keys you can work at night just from feel, but pure touch, that's gonna be a problem. Also it's far too expensive, why would you get one of these when you can get a Surface Laptop or any ultra book. Also I agree, they should have made this the always connected SD platform Windows Machine that lasts for two days on regular usage, costs max 500 and has a back light keyboard plus a killer stylus. Hopefully Lenovo take the feedback give us that machine next year. Instant buy for me than. Thanks Mike!
Looks nice but definitely not with a thousand bucks imo
Yeah, sadly the price has gone up which was make Yoga Book 1 a bit more attractive to get.
I'm interested with this product, can't wait for the review!!
It would be nice with a keyboard backlight as you mentioned.
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?
As someone who has one of these, this seems like a huge upgrade. I went for the android one because the last generation only had an Intel atom so I was worried about the speed but with an i5 it looks like plenty. The build quality better improve though because my first gen one seems to be losing its accuracy completely on the Wacom tablet, it should be fine. The keyboard is kind of concerning but for me personally I lug around a mechanical keyboard because I'm an elitest but I can see why it's an issue. Battery life will be something that has to wait until it's released but the first gen Android one can hold 6hrs screen on time with complete ease and even up to 16 on a Netflix binge. All in all it looks very promising but Lenovo's reputation of its treatment with the first generation is horrible so we'll have to see.
Damn, time to sell my YogaBook
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
Honestly this seems incredible except for the lack of back light. That's probably the biggest deal breaker for me, always next time.
Just wish it had an usb-c thunderbolt 3 port, so i could connect it to my egpu enclosure, kb + mouse and monitor with a single cable to keep working at home, that would make it an ipad/surface killer for me
I would choose surface go over this one because of the price and the big edge.
wow this is amazing...comparing sony's digital paper, i wonder how they got the cost down? plus this has way more versatility
You on a roll today 👍🏾
Nice Thumbnail Title.
Your commentatory on Xperia xz3 ... When ... ? ☺️
2:16 Daniel Rubino Spotted.
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.
I think this was the perfect device to put a SD 850 on. I'm surprised they didn't!
Ok, that's pretty awesome. I want one.
changing languages on the keyboard should be just a setting? i want this Yoga
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 looks nice.
Kinda sad there's no Android version
I agree
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.
