[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Laptop but needs more battery life! Don’t forget to bring your power cord.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Thinkpad as usual, but styling is not cool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using ThinkPads for a couple of decades now among many, many other brands including Macs... but I always keep coming back to ThinkPads. I've used ThinkPads for tough work (engineering work, graphics editing, business use) and personal computing, as far back as when IBM used to own the sub-brand. This X1 Yoga 4th Gen
has been, like all other ThinkPads, robust, comfortable to use, has probably the world's best keyboards (honestly, I make less typos on this keyboard than on any other!), and have the most stable implementation of Windows of any computer ever (I've had ThinkPads that I have just put to sleep and woken up for months on end without a single crash or restart required. Try doing that with any other PC).

Try doing that with any other PC).
But even after all these years, the location of the Fn key where the CTRL key should be STILL drives me nuts! And the keyboards seem slightly less comfortable to type on than the older than before (seems key travel is lower and the force required to depress the keys is higher now, making them a bit more tiring to type on for a long time than before... but even so these keyboards are still miles ahead compared to most other laptops).
My X1 has the 3840x2160 touch display. It's bright enough for most locations, and responsive enough to be genuinely useful as a touch screen. The i5-10210U doesn't disappoint, even with some graphics editing tasks. I wish I could have had more than the 8 GB RAM installed, but I rarely come up against that limit in my daily use. It comes with a garaged Lenovo pen... I haven't used it that often, but its sensitivity and accuracy feel very good during the few times I have used it.
Under CPU-intensive use, or when doing a rapidcharge, this X1's aluminium shell does become seriously warm. Not enough to burn you, but enough to become uncomfortable on your lap through a pair of jeans.
Where Lenovo has lost the plot, though is the shell design. They're trying too hard to make it look "cooler"...except it's not. ThinkPads have always looked functional... and that made them beautiful. Overstyling them just takes away from their appeal. The yucky grey aluminium shell is nowhere near as durable nor as as good looking, nor as nice to touch as the slightly rubberized charcoal black coating that all ThinkPads had. Please stop trying to make ThinkPads "cool", Lenovo They already are... you're ruining them.
The fact that my X1 is also a Yoga is a nice plus for when I just want to flip the screen back and watch a movie. The hinges feel robust enough that they'll last for years, and they have just the right amount of resistance that makes them feel stable, het don't feel like you need to be Hercules to flip the screen.
To my ears, the touted "Dolby Atmos" speakers sound just as mediocre as any other thin laptop speaker, so that's a waste. The weight and balance (weight distribution) is comfortable when using it as a tablet. Having the keyboard exposed on the back however doesn't feel comfortable, and the keys feel "mushy" under your fingers when you hold it. I suppose the tablet mode is really secondary to this ThinkPad's mission, though. It's just a "nice-to-have" feature. It's better in tent mode.
All in all , I would buy this unit again (especially if it Lenovo returned the deep black rubberized coating), and I do recommend it for office use, mobile business use, home computing (browsing, email, movies), or even some lighter applications that require robustness (such as using it by delivery personnel or warehouse personnel as a pen-enabled device), although the aliminium chassis will eventually show some wear and scratches with time.
I got mine during a Lenovo clearance event, so it was like 50% off. At that price it was really a no-brainer. Go ahead and get it. you won't regret it!
(and yes... despite residing in Canada, I spell it "aluminium" like it's supposed to be :-)
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is light, and great for basic things you need. However we returned this unit because The HD display screen is too hard on the eyes and when using zoom everyone appears to be very dark. Picture quality is very disappointing especially the built in camera.
This device definitely needs a separate video card as well! Using zoom to present videos, everyone complained on how glitchy the presentation was. Internet speed is excellent. We switched to our old laptop and it went smoothly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keyboard layout is not optimized for using keystroke combinations to help navigate browsers and other programmes. Mouse touch pad is not well positioned vis-à-vis keyboard and accidental mouse taps happen more frequently. Mouse cursor sensitivity is less accurate that I expected, as is scrolling using touchpad.
