Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (4th Gen, 2019): The Review

I just ordered this laptop. Thanks for the recommendations

nice review 😀 bought it

They say one of the engineering goals was keeping the nipple warm

How is your feeling of this compared to the Dell 7400 2 in 1 and the c940
Any insight if/when Lenovo will refresh this to Intel 10th gen?

Front camera is utter garbage. Can't believe you find it ok on a $3000+ laptop. Literally a $150 phone from 3 years ago has better front camera. You lost all credibility with that statement.

Is thunderbolt 2 or 4 lanes?

Hey, @Andrew Marc David – weird question, but not sure where else to turn. On your review machine, did you see a half cm border around the edge of your screen that is a darker color than the rest of your screen? The rest of the screen is a shade or so brighter. I don't think it's a software issue since it's still clearly there when the computer is off, but it's really noticeable (to me; in reality, it's quite subtle), especially with dark colors, and I'm really worried it's a ghosting/image retention issue (I have the low-power 1080p version). Have you or anyone else seen this issue/know what it is/how to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated!

I really like this one best. But I don’t see the 4K display unit available on the website. Wondering why. Where’s the best place to purchase this?

Thanks for the excellent review I liked how you compared the 4K version with the FHD version.

But I‘m actually curious to know more about the WQHD version is it as bright as the 4K? How is the battery life?
Thanks again.

@Andrew Marc David , do you mind if I ask you a question about this comp, now that I've finally gotten mine? When you used the in-built speakers, did the left side of your palmrest vibrate? Because mine does, and I don't know if that's normal or a defect on my machine? Thank you very much!

Thanks for a great review! What's your take on the Yoga X1 generation 4 versus the generation 3? Thanks!

Please do a comparison between the Lonovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga & HP Spectre X360 13"

First time watching you. Amazing review, concise, and informative, I got all my answers. Subscribed. Thanks.

For the average business/corporate user who doesn't know a ton about Tech, would there be a reason to buy the base model of this 4th gen version (no vPro, 8gb/256RAM) vs the 3rd Gen version x1 Yoga with the vPro and top gb and RAM? This is assuming that we can catch the sale on Lenovo's website while the gen 3 machine is about $1500.

Would you choose this over the latitude 7400 2-1 or the xps 13, for a student in med school or engineering?

i think u
do your job best

hi, can u compare with 2nd gen yoga oled about the color gamut and the screen issues

Considering one of these but it looks to not be on sale right now. No way am I paying the MSRP

Hey Andrew! Lenovo just released an X1 Yoga with the 10710u processor. Sadly, still has the Intel 620 graphics and no microSD. I hope you'll review it soon though because I'm really curious how the battery life on the 4K model compares. Cheers!

Think Pad X1 Yoga Very Beautiful

I'm using yoga 530 since last 1yr. This is worst quality laptop I've ever used. Don't buy any laptop from lenovo go for other brand if u really want value for money…..✌️✌️✌️

I still can't believe they changed the color, like…WTF?! It's a THINKPAD, it's SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK! Not cool! And moving the headphone jack to the LEFT?! And the exhaust fan to the RIGHT?! Dude, most of your customers are RIGHT-HANDED, those two things kill it for a LOT of people! And yet…I kinda want to try this 'cause the 3rd gen didn't work for me… UGH!

They lost me at no SD or MicroSD slot…

Presentation was great with good camera takes and to the point, good close ups and covered nearly everything I needed to know with comparisons.

Excellent review thx

How does the aluminum case feel? I'm worried about the switch from the carbon fiber material, does the metal feel cold on your skin, and how hard is the surface? The carbon fiber felt great.

Things that I don't like about your review style in general: you talk almost like a robot and every video of you feel THE SAME. You don't show your charisma in your reviews so they just feel so plain and boring. The amount of info and details are sufficient but I need more of your personal opinions other than just facts. You also don't emphasize important points enough but your talking is on a constant rate throughout the video, which does make you sound like a robot.
And the music is annoying!

Review the Asus Zenbook 14 ux434fl

Great review of a great laptop!

how much is it cost?

this is so glossy I would not give 500 bucks for it. wanna loose your eye sight…go for it !

Disappointed since I JUST had to finally return my dream comp, the Thinkpad X1 Yoga 3rd gen, because I couldn't stand the keyboard. The travel was just too damn low for me (coming from an 5+ year old T440s). My fingers literally hurt after a few MINUTES of typing. I can go all day on my old one. Granted, that wasn't the ONLY reason, there were quite a few, but that was the biggest. I tried for over a week, but nope. T__T And if this keyboard has LESS travel, that sucks for me. :/ The fact that they'd mess with the keyboard depresses me.

I do a fair amount of public speaking and mostly use lecterns to place a device which currently I’ve been using an iPad (and need to change to this or a surface pro). When the x1 yoga is put into flat tablet mode, does it have any kind of non-slip ability when laying, keyboard down, on a finished lectern surface?

Please help:

1. X1 Yoga
2. C940 10th Gen Intel
3. XPS 13 2 in 1 10th Gen Intel
4. Upcoming Surface Pro 7 (October)

Which one? Need to decide by Friday.

Thank you!!!

I am considering this one as an upgrade from my Microsoft surface book 1 i5. I basically only use Office apps but a lot of those. I fancy battery life more but am a bit afraid of losing out if I choose FHD as it is a dégradation compared to surface book screen. Is there any benefit in the 4k screen from a productivity point if view e.g. having the option to run multiple apps next to each other or will it be too small to read? Also does it make sense to buy 16Gb instead of 8Gb for this type of use? I suppose an i5 is the better choice for cost and battery reasons as well.

Your video is so sharp and sound is very clear.Recording is very excellent.

Can you use serato on this ? And is it recommended to record music like to use protools?

Awesome review!

I love Thinkpad, plan to buy this mode

Your reviews are top notch and second to none as always! Keep up the fantastic job!

Surprisingly good quality video for such a "small" channel. Keep it up

I really appreciate your videos. Just the perfect info needed. Thanks a a lot. I hope the channel grows exponentially.

Oh your reviewing the units we all want to hear about——>Thank you!!. Lenovo’s are the best

Hi kindly suggest as to one should go for higher resolution or higher nits in new X1 Yoga ?

14.0" FHD (1920×1080) 400nits
Or
14.0" WQHD (2560×1440) 300nits.

Wonderful review, thanks. Will you also review the new X1 Extreme, Gen 2? I am interested in learning whether that unit (with max specs such as 32 Gb of RAM) will work as a gaming device.

I wish Lenovo (and other OEMs) would put dedicated graphics in their smaller convertible laptops. If ASUS could put the MX150 gpu in the Zenbook Flip 14, Lenovo could do the same here. And while they are not particularly powerful gpu’s, an MX150 or MX250 is still much better than integrated graphics.

so that's good

that's for sure

I just wonder the outside material for x1 carbon black color and gray color, are they using the same rubberize? (never touch the real). Can anyone tell me please?

Apples real success with it's products is the simple naming scheme…

Is there still an anti glare version?
