[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tranditional X1 before. First time to switch to X1 Yogo. Machine is heavier than X1. Purchased to use writing feature. But the attache pen is far too small, so I have to purchase a full size one separately.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop, I use it for a mix of work, school, and steaming. I love the built in stylus and the processing speed. The battery life is great, I left it in my car with my work iPad for several days during a snowstorm. When I got to work both were ice cold to the touch and my iPads battery was dead. The Lenovo had almost no drop in power.
I bought X1 Yoga Gen 6 with i7 CPU, 1Tb HD and 16Gb RAM. It's clearly a well built sturdy laptop. Performance wise, it's great. Honestly at first I almost returned it - it kept hibernating after about10 to 20 seconds of inactivity. So if I were reading an article the screen would suddenly go black. Even after adjusting all the power settings in Windows to never turn the screen off, it still did it. Very frustrating. I noticed that the screen would then turn back on to the login screen automatically when I moved in front of it. Strange. Then it occurred to me that there has to be another non-Windows power setting that is doing this. I fired up Lenovo Advantage and sure enough it has power settings that override Windows settings! It has something called "Human Recognition" that has sensors when you are present and when you are away from the laptop. I absolutely hate that feature and there is nothing that asks you about adjusting these settings when you first configure the laptop. I ended up turning them all off and ... POOF! ... it now works the way I want it to.
Pro's: Battery life is excellent. The keyboard is superb. The non-reflective display is great especially in bright areas. Really good performance. Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports. High speed USB-A port
A few things that would make it perfect: 1. The backlit keyboard is ok but I would prefer more that just 2 levels of brightness. 2. Put ALL power settings in Windows Settings! 3. There is 2 USB Thunderbolt-4 ports on the left side. Put one on the right side to make it easier to plug it in regardless of which side the power outlet is located.
Its a great laptop. I would give it 4.5 stars if possible because of the power settings but everything else is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my yoga think pad now and it crashed during my initial set up.
It’s my first Lenovo and I called customer support and they would send me a new one.
I am still worried and concerned about the quality of this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it that it's fast, sleek, reliable and it's dual. I don't have to use just the keyboard. You can just tap on it using your finger. It would be nice if there is a card slot on it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good computer. I was very fond of this computer, but it died premature. I left a glass of water with ice next to the computer. Unfortunately, the comdensation on the outside of the glass went under the computer and shorted out when I plugged it in. This was through no fault of the product. This computer was dropped on a hardwood floor twice and kept going strong.
