[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great business laptop. I don't love Windows Pro 10, but the X1 Yoga does the best job of taking advantage of the Windows 10ninterface.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very classic ThinkPad X1 build quality, keyboard is still the best in market. And the new MgAI alloy case feels very luxury. However, alloy case feels a little cool in winter, still prefer the carbo fiber case. The CPU is Intel gen10, still on 14nm, has to keep the "battery performance" in "saver" mode, other wise it runs warm and fan is on, well, it has nothing to do to Lenovo though. last, what made me to buy this laptop is the 4k HDR Dolby vision screen, it is very bright and 4K resolution make the text very sharp. However, this is still IPS panel, the color garmount and contrast is falling behind OLED screen, wish it has an OLED option. Another disadvantage of 4k screen is, the battery life is almost shortened by half, it last for ~4 hours while watching movie at max brightness.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Order this for work because my other was to slow, this one is a lot faster, lighter, good feel to carry when walking to meetings. I feel more confident knowing that I have a great tool to use when I need it.
I was trying to upgrade from X1 4th gen which is 4 years old by now and ended-up requesting a return for yoga. Long story short, nothing got improved in the last 4 years and some things got worse
- webcam quality was terrible, always blurry and out of focus, except maybe the first second
- touchpad scroll action was jittery and non-smooth. When you try to scroll using 2 fingers on touchpad it would feel as if someone is trying to drag the page you're scrolling back (updating "friction" params did nothing to it). It felt as if GPU does not have enough power to process the scrolling or if the touchpad driver has issues. Again, all works flawlessly on the current 4 year old machine
- "webcam on" light is a super-bright LED white light, so that every time you're on a video call it's as if someone is shining in your face with a flashlight. The model from 4 years ago had a gentle green light that is perfectly visible but doesn't blind you
- The red LED dot letter "i" on ThinkPad logo is flashing when the lid is closed. Similarly, a bright LED on the side is flashing as well. Pretty bright to be annoying in the dark room.
These might seem minor, but all combined were significant enough for me to return the machine - these things should not be happening on Lenovo's flagship model. They could nail it perfectly 4 years ago, it's strange it got worse over time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
