Nice review, very detail and unbiased ! There is very few X12 Detachable and Yoga 7i (2021 Model) review video here in TH-cam, I would wish to see if you can review Yoga 7i (2021 Model) as I am about to choose between it and other tablet. Lenovo made good quality laptop recent years, I have purchase multiple of them. They are not only durable, but also stable in term of software or firmware etc. I never experience and crash or unstable with their product, unlike my previous bad experience with Asus and Acer.
The ThinkPad x12 was on my wish list when I was still in the market for a new laptop. My old ThinkPad t440s has been with me through all my college years. It was indestructible. But it was on it's life's tail end. However I still ended up going for the Surface Pro 7 with keyboard and pen combo. Mostly 'cos the x12 was not available in my country, and their reps couldn't give me an exact release date. So, I caved and went for the Surface. . Having the pen magnetically attach the the side of the screen is great. a pen loop just looks less durable to me. Having a simple usb-A is so much more usable in daily activity's then an extra usb-C for me. This way I don't have to carry a dongle with me to plug in a simple wired mouse. Yes, you pay for the separate keyboard and pen. But I can reuse those when I buy my next Surface. Having decent speakers is also something most people don't notice until it's gone. Yeah the sound isn't very deep, but you can't expect that on a small form factor device like this. Sound needs room to sound good. What however would have been another interesting point to touch upon too is the different pen technology both Surface and Lenovo uses. For creative people on the go that would be an interesting talking point. And def something that sets them apart. Anyway I enjoyed your review. To the point and no clutter, keep it up!
I actually ordered one and received it today. I tested it. Its beautiful. To my surprise the pen was magnetic and it attached to the side of the case. I am not sure if they have included the feature in the new release. I got the precision pen not the standard digital pen that comes with it. The keyword is so tactile and the travel is so good. Dont think Surface's keyboard would even come close to it. Agreed the screen is not so bright as SP7, but Lenovo compensates for it in many other facets. The build qulity is typical of thinkpad, very dirable and feels solid.
I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a SP7 for a few weeks now. Now that I've been seeing videos on the X12, im beginning to struggle to decide which I should go for 😬
This is the best review I have seen! Thank you for such a detailed and wonderful presentation. Just ordered my X12 with i7 looking forward to receiving it soon.
@@Dieterdde I really enjoy not. It's fantastic for travel. When I'm at home I do connect it to a 31" as an extended display. I use the keyboard all time with a wireless mouse.
Please do a review with Lenovo Yoga Duet 7 13ITL6 16GB RAM Core i7 with 1 TB SDD storage (it's also called 2021 Model) .. no one is done it (they do it for 13 ML05) and no one compared it with Microsoft Surface Pro ... i think it's way better but since it's new it has not be reviewed and compared before
Are there actual detachable laptops with tablet internals in the screen but stronger internals in the keyboard? Im thinking stuff like docking on a bigger gpu, huge battery, ssd... It would be so useful on construction sites
There is a huge disparity of prices in the US and India. With the same specifications the Indians have to buy the same product with a significantly higher price. Even the price is much higher than Microsoft surface 8 pro in India.
@@chrizzlerguitaroni1928 Hasn't it been out for a while now? I'm under the impression it didn't last long in the US market before Lenovo pulled it. If it's still on its way, it'll be outdated architecture soon.
@@jeremyjohnson8703 Yes it has been available since mid-April in China, but global supply chains are lacking. It just became available in Europe last week, North America will get it too, eventually...
Better than surface pro? Hahahahaha the design is just funny and the screen quality is in noway comparable! It is not a tablet, it is just a laptop broken in half
Yoga duet 7i is definitely in my wishlist. Can't wait to get it soon!

2nd on the duet 7i review.

Appreciate your comment, this really got me thinking about some thorough pen technology comparison! Glad you enjoyed the video!

How are you liking it? I'm worried about the low resolution, unfortunately I can't see any in person around here.

Great review and amazing device! Tell me please, is this screen lenovo x12 have a matte anti glare cover? And basic pen does not have a tilt support?
Hi, i just want to know how do you see the Lenovo Thinpad x12 detachable for dessng programs like adobe ph, il or autodesk autocad or revit

100% agree, the 2021 with Tiger lake model is the one to get.
Where can you buy one?
i hope an X12 gen 2 come out with U 12th gen and killer loud speakers.
Can you check if Duet 7 has TPM chip and eligible for windows 11?
It does indeed, tested with Windows Insider Program and latest Win 11 Beta works great on it!
@@Decoding_Labs Thanks for confirming!

No, as far as I know
Awesome comparison

I want the Duet 7 but doesn't appear to be available in the US.
I think we have to be patient. In only one shop it is available here in Austria. But in more shops say coming soon.

Please do a detailed review on yoga duet 7 asap. It seems to be quite a masterpiece at a reasonable price
Where do they sell it?
Why not 32G😢?
Where can I buy the Yoga 😔 for the 🇺🇸?
Your best chance would be to try BestBuy
please do the review for yoga duet 7i thankss
in progress
Better? For sure. Repairability is 10x better.
Is it Windows 11 compatible ?
Yes it is!
@@Decoding_Labs
You mean both of them , the Thinkpad and yoga 7
Best Regards
Duet 7i review please
Already live on the channel! Go check it out
lenovo pissed me off. If they put quad speakers that sound amazing and get to 95 db with bass, this would have been the perfect windows 2 in 1
Duet 7 - discontinued???
No, check out our video on new Duet 7
Ordered one and still waiting after 4 months
why tf is lenovo selling something that take 4 months to fkn ship wtf
I suppose it's caused by global shortage? It's not just Lenovo, many other OEMs are struggling to ship out products right now
Better than surface pro? Hahahahaha the design is just funny and the screen quality is in noway comparable! It is not a tablet, it is just a laptop broken in half
16:10 🤢🤮
not a fan of 16:10 aspect ratio?
DO NOT BUY THESE
Lenovo will advertise 6-9 days deliver but once Lenovo has your money they will change the deliver date 5 Months into the future!
This dude does not understand what is a biz laptop vs consumer laptop. 3:2 is great for office work!
Nobody speaks about the faulty design
Your comment is pretty useless...
There are TWO devices in the video and you didn't mention WHAT faulty design there is in your opinion.
@@JL-pc2eh just take a look at surface pro or iPad and then use ur brain...
