[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing hardware, but win10 software leaves a bit to be desired. Buggy as heck to use the touchscreen tablet programs and i was hoping this area wouldve matured over the past few years. Of course battery life isnt so great with the QHD screen but I knew that going in. Overall I'm super happy and the performance is great. Coming from an X1 carbon I really dont mind the extra half pound weight.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friend bought an HP Spectre and I fell in love with the 2 in 1s after using it for a couple hours. After doing research for a couple of weeks I pulled the trigger on Yoga X1. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga is byfar the best choice. The responsiveness and speed of this machine is amazing. I have always liked the ThinkPads but this one blows everything else away. I run multiple contruction document applications that use a bunch of RAM and this thing is flawless. Even the resolution is far better then all of the other 2-1s out there. Plus you get the pen slot that keeps your pen tucked away but handy at all times. This was the best computer decision I have made.

Paper Weight

Week 1 with this 2-in-1. The power button does not work. Once it goes to sleep or I power it off, the only way to get it going again is to do a hard reboot by pushing the little button in the back with a paper clip.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Solid Laptop for Linux

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this x1 yoga gen 6 to replace my old x1 yoga gen 2. I spend most of my time using Fedora 34 KDE, so I will make some specific references to my fedora experience below for those who might be interested. At first I wasn't sure how I would like the change in color (from black to dark gray). When I first got my hands on it, however, I was impressed. The chassis feels incredibly solid, especially on the top and sides of the monitor.
Just like my gen 2, it feels quite premium all around. Without the Oled screen, I didn't feel quite the Wow factor I felt with the gen 2, but the 4k screen is quite nice, and, fortunately easier on the eyes than I was expecting (a very important feature for me). I also see the value in the 16:10 aspect ration and the added screen real-estate with a smaller body size compared to my gen 2 due to smaller bezels. I love how the lid opens up with one hand and just feels smooth, study and premium quality.
In both Windows and Linux the performance is all around peppy. The only issue I had was with keyboard lag in Fedora. This was solved by deleting the event-calendar widget. This same app seemed to have caused KDE desktop environment to crash repeatedly. After deleting it, the issues appear to have disappeared.
In Fedora with minimal effort, I'm able to use the fingerprint detector with fprint (native support is coming with KDE 5.21) and gestures are working with touchegg and toucheggkde. The screen rotation works as well as it does in Windows after installing iio-sensor-proxy. I haven't tried yet to get the face recognition to work in Linux but there seem to be solutions. The pen doesn't lag and works perfectly.
Typing on the keyboard feels nice, and I feel that my typing is more accurate than usual. The trackpad is responsive, and is more appealing now due to gestures being available in KDE and Gnome. The camera shutter is a nice feature. I feel a little less like I'm in the panopticon. The audio is very good, and by far the best I've had on a laptop. I get consistent 800Mbps (my provider speed) through thunderbolt 4 Ethernet. I can't say too much yet about battery life since I'm using it from home and still following a COVID routine.
Overall, this is a classy machine. The only downsides I can think of so far are the lack of micro sd, the fact that the 4g and 5g are not quite ready for prime time (though I'm hopeful that will change soon once I'm out and about in the city again), and overall it's not as much of an upgrade from my gen 2 as I expected. However, this is largely due to the amazing quality of the gen 2. It's still an amazing machine 4 years later. I expect this X1 Yoga to last for many years too. I love the build quality and attention to detail.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid build quality with high quality materials and exceptional fit and finish. Very cohesive, well thought out design and package. Leaves nothing else to be desired. Battery life could be a bit better but it's always considering the power and high res display

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second ThinkPad yoga. My first one was for work, and I had to get rid of it when our company migrated to a different computer manufacturer. I absolutely loved my ThinkPad Yoga, which is what led to my recent purchase of my ThinkPad Yoga X1 Gen 6. I’ve not had it long, but I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s an incredible computer. This computer is for my upcoming MBA program; I needed a workhorse computer that could keep up with me and my program. No other place to go than ThinkPad!
