[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Think Pad. The touch screen is responsive and the track pad is much better than on my Dell so I only longer need to use my mouse. The battery charges quickly and lasts a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing just works. It's fast, tough, and reliable.
There's flashier and fancier models, but for the price this does just fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be fair, I've had this laptop less than one week. In that time however, I don't want to put it down. Really don't have anything bad to say about the device. When I configured this, I expected the GORGEOUS screen would shorten battery life. It does, but I'm okay with the estimated 3ish hours between charges. I think I could probably get more life from the battery by tweaking the power plan, but out of the box I'm loving it.
The keyboard and trackpad have a premium feel visually and texturally. The keyboard key travel is very natural plus it's a sharp machine. The IR web cam works flawlessly (and fast) with Windows Hello, as does the human motion detection. Perfect for multi-tasking between two separate rigs.
I only briefly used OneNote, so I haven't had a chance to test the integrated stylus in earnest. It doesn't beat the Microsoft Surface Pen, but it also has a dedicated storage spot on the side of the keyboard where the Microsoft device does not. It will take a little to get used to, but seems like I can write/draw/erase very nicely.
Office 365 was already loaded, so just a matter of logging into my account. You also have the option to upgrade to Windows 11 which I passed on at the moment since it's release date is so recent. I'll be looking into that in the coming weeks.
Installs have been going great and the Core i7 really cranks. The 720p webcam is adequate on Zoom; I also purchased a video only 1080p webcam to carry along if absolutely necessary.
I haven't used in tablet mode either, but folding the screen back is very smooth, solid and reliable for the long term.
Frankly, I couldn't be more happy with the purchase. Well, I could have received it faster is a fair statement. Estimated delivery dates were all over the place, but almost all were well within the shipping disclaimer shared when submitting the order. A lot of that isn't in Lenovo's control, but the anticipation on this arrival grew worse when the estimates mysteriously kept shifting back, then passed, then lurching forward.
Anyway you cut it, I would buy this machine again in a heartbeat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best Yoga X1 ever
on January 31, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a looooooooooooooong time Thinkpad owner so I basically grew up with laptops having a little red nipple which now I can't live without. I've got several Thinkpads around the house but recently got this one to replace my gen 1 Yoga X1 that I love. As with all Thinkpads, this keyboard is excellent and I love the separate PGUP/DN/HOME/END/INS/DEL keys. On the occasions when I need to use this for work, I'm a programmer, and having those keys is the difference between misery and efficiency.
Let's compare this gen 6 to the gen 1 for a bit. Processor of course is much newer and supposedly quicker. To me, for everyday tasks, I really don't notice much difference. The gen 1 I had has the i7-6600u, this gen 6 has the i7-1165g7. I really felt the 6600u chip was quite zippy.
The gen 1 I had had 8gb of RAM, this has 16. With Teams, Zoom, and every other video conferencing software out there, the more ram the better!
Battery life - a little hard to say this early on. Again, I felt the gen 1 had great battery life for its weight and other performance. Always super pleased with that. This gen 6 seems at least as good.
Audio - the speakers on this thing are amazeballs compared with the gen 1, which wasn't bad. I can't fathom how THAT much sound can come out of this little thing! Having said that, I mostly listen to music and do conferencing with headphones, so the speakers don't get a lot of use. But when they do, they sound great!
Camera - don't use it a whole lot, as i have a separate one placed precisely for work. However, this one's low-light performance is very good.
Screen - THIS is where the huge improvement is for me. First off, the aspect ratio (16:10) is much better for productivity tasks. The color depth is much better than the gen 1. And it's brighter - I got the 400nits 1920x1200 display. I thought about the super high res one, but I have other laptops with those extra pixels and to be honest I don't feel like they're necessarily worth it. For one thing, I use remote desktop sessions a LOT for work and the extra high res on "this end" can make the remote window difficult to use. Yes, there are ways around that, but half the time I find myself just dumbing down the resolution to something like 1920x1200 anyways. So for this machine, I figure why bother, just stick with the lower def. And I have been very pleased.
Case/body - we've moved into the aluminum world with the gen 6. Personally, I like plastic or carbon fiber on the gen 1. It just feels less likely to dent, ding, or scratch. Yes, the aluminum looks very sexy - in fact, the gen 6 looks VERY sexy indeed - but I have to wonder how much of the aluminum is just for looks over function. *shrug*
Power/charger - yeah, we're on USB-C now, replacing the beloved (to me) rectangular Thinkpad adapter. I liked that one because I have several Lenovos which all take it. Still, I did discover my Thinkpad Extreme X1 gen 4 will power from a Dell 130 watt USB-C adapter. Soooooooo maybe I can power all my Thinkpads with one of those. I guess it's just the way of the future.
Ports - sweet heaven I love the ports on this! I have an X*S 15 at work with a whopping 3 USB-C ports. That's all. One of those is for power, too. That leaves you two. This Yoga has 2 USB-C (one for power), 2 USB-A, *AND* and HDMI port! Brilliant! You don't have to sacrifice ports when you have a thin and light computer. I've run it fine with a port replicator that provides power through its USB-C connection, one monitor in the HDMI port and another in the USB-C port (I prefer that to running them off the port replicator).
To sum up: If you're a Yoga X1 fan with a previous generation, the biggest reason to upgrade to this is the screen dimensions and improved colors and brightness. For me, all other improvements are relatively minor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heavier than older model, super noisy fan (even after updates) batty capacity won’t hold more than 4 hours of normal office/web meeting.
Nice screen (not a standard size)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop, upgraded from a Gen2. Bit different screen aspect resolution but overall working great and maintains the quality that I've come to expect from Lenovo. Only critique I would have is the docked pen is smaller on this version
