[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All you need in one package. Fast, capable computer and touch screen on top of it all! I’ve had the computer only a short while 3 weeks. But I’m loving it. Came from a Mac Probook. But it is an easy and wonderful transition. Using the touch screen and pen more than I originally anticipated.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything but one thing from this laptop feels premium and we'll designed. How sad that for such an expensive work device the webcam is very subpar the competition. I would have like to see a state of the art camera like the surface book. This one makes me look like a sick, tired dude.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this laptop, it is very fast, responsive, and has a beautiful display. Wish it looked more like X1 however (black, instead of grey). The pen is too small for comfortable writing, so I would recommend getting another pen for this device. I am still not impressed with the apps for note taking, which should be the killer app for such a device. Some of the drawing apps I've tried have a huge lag when you use the pen, which is somewhat embarrassing. Finally, I am a bit concerned about the build quality considering the fact that one of the usb-c ports broke within one month of the purchase. Thankfully the device is still under warranty, but it makes me worried for how long the whole thing will last.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very satisfied with new ThinkPad X1 Yoga gen 6. It's versatile, easy to handle and very fast (powerfull) so I can use it as a working computer, a pad and a drawing tablet. One question to Lenovo...is there an instruction manual that comes with the purchase of this portable?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent laptop overall. My husband has a gen 3 that he absolutely loves, and he convinced me to go with this model when it was time for a new laptop. My only complaint is about the privacy screen. The laptop I got was pre-configured with a privacy screen. I did not want to wait a month or more for it to arrive, which is why I didn't opt for a configurable one (in which case I would have selected it without the privacy screen).
The problem with this configuration is that the privacy guard (even when off) makes the screen brightness appear inconsistent. This puts strain on the eyes. When flipped into tablet mode it is even more apparent, due to the viewing angle when holding or leaning over it to write. Again, this is all with privacy guard off. When it's turned on, the problem is much worse.
I highly recommend this laptop. However, make sure you don't get one with the privacy guard feature, which doesn't work very well and if anything, makes the screen harder to see for the user, and barely provides privacy from prying eyes..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful 4k display, sturdy construction and lightweight. Excellent laptop for working from home or while traveling. One thing I wish would be better is the webcam resolution and quality. Overall happy with this purchase.
