[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having used a non-Windows laptop as an undergrad and for personal use several years after graduating from college, I needed to upgrade my dinosaur of a computer before heading off to graduate school (MBA). Given that I am going into finance, that right there meant Windows because Excel on Windows OS is better than on other OS's.
Upon considering all the high-end, Windows laptops suitable for business/finance, there was only one clear winner in terms of overall functionality: the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6. You get the main advantages of the X1 Carbon, but also the flexibility of a 2-1 which comes in useful during MBA lectures in which some professors do not permit laptops but do allow for notetaking on 'tablets.'
Lastly, this machine is built SOLID. Great build quality on par with other high-end, Windows and non-Windows computers. The finish and casing, keyboard, trackpad, matte screen, and hinge mechanism are all 10/10. My only complaint is that in the year 2021, I would expect a premium laptop such as this one to come with a built-in 1080p camera, not a 720p camera equal in quality to my old laptop from 2012! Other than that nitpick, you cannot go wrong with this computer for business or even personal use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Transitioning from an older model was a breeze. The keyboard felt comfortable. Face recognition works well. Lightweight and easy to lug around. Zero regrets.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still only in the first month of use, but I'm extremely enjoying the computer. I had gen 1 X1 Yoga for over 5 years and then purchased this Gen 6. I enjoyed the Gen 1 for all 5 years despite some touch screen issues around year 3. I have feeling I'll enjoy another 5 years with the Gen 6 and they've had some time work out the kinks from the first version.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very decent machine, but lacks the strength, stability, and refinement i expect from a near $4,000 device
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am happy with this convertible laptop. However it is missing a couple of features present in my previous ThinkPad Yoga: 1. An SD card reader for transferring photos, and 2. A selectable keyboard backlight level that is retained after reboot. Maybe this will be fixed in a future firmware upgrade?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good laptop for the student-employee (I'm a medical resident). It has all the functions I wanted (touch screen, yoga tablet capabilities, 16:10 aspect ratio, built-in pen, fingerprint reader, camera cover, and so much more!) The only issue I've had is that the matte screen (which I love because it means no glare) is oftentimes not bright enough or the resolution is too poor to view medical images. Otherwise, it's great for all other purposes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the keyboard layout to the way the screen uses up all of the available size, with no obtrusive borders surrounding it, this laptop is exquisitely made. Simply.
