Nice review. Thank you. I just received my X1 Yoga Gen 6 today. Bought it on Black Friday - i7 11gen G7 CPU/16Gb Ram/1Tb HD/400 NIT display - $1,150. I was shocked at the price. 9 months ago the same configuration was well over $2,000. Very happy!

Very good and plain language review. Well done and thank you for taking the time to provide this review. It's one of the top 2 I've seen so far anywhere. I have a quick question for you and would appreciate your thoughts. My laptop is just over two months old and I got an extended 2 yr warranty so I know it's covered for a lot of things (I got the highest tier). The left usb-c port used to charge but then it stopped all of a sudden. I knew because the laptop totally died even though it was plugged in to AC power. I changed the power cord to use the second usb-c port (second from the left) and it charges as the first one used to. I've updated drivers, firmware etc. but that first port no longer charges the unit. Any thoughts?

Great review as usual! Can you do a video on the comparison between X13 Yoga and X1 Yoga?

@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much @Mark Hew unfortunely both X13 Yoga and X1 Yoga has been returned back. I can say that the X1 Yoga feels more premium over the X13 and has better speakers too. Beside the display size difference if both are similar in price the X1 Yoga is a fair better laptop in terms of material construction, speakers and temperatures.

I got it and I'm returning it this week. When the fans kick in, it feels like an airplane taking off. There *is* a high pitch mixed in the white noise (keep that airplane in mind!). The thermals are dreadful. The air comes out through a row of holes that are blocked when you tilt the screen slightly backwards.

@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын

@playlist666, it shouldn't be that high pitch, but then again I have listen to a lot of different laptops and hundreds of the same model as well. As for the X1 Yoga Gen 6, I've only encountered 4 of these units and they didn't stick out unusual yet to far in issues or noise. I would ask to have your unit checked but you are right I am not a fan of having the exhaust vents hidden around the hinge side.

Actually it has it. Maybe this particular PC configuration in this video hasn't. Sim card slot for Gen 6 is on right side between USB-A and headphone jack.

Where can I change the different battery modes? You mentioned them at 6:42

@BsianTech Жыл бұрын

If you are running Windows 10, where the battery indicator icon is (in the system tray where the date and time usually lower right) click on that and you will get those power schemes beside media, Battery Saving mode is in the power options once you dive more in. If you are running Windows 11 click on the Volume icon in the System Tray, then click on the battery indictor in the power heading you see the different power schemes and the Battery Saving mode is under Battery heading.

Does the pan have an eraser? Can you use any wacom stylus?

@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын

The Lenovo pen that comes with the Yoga Gen 6 doesn't have top button for default eraser but you can configure one of the side buttons on the pen to be the eraser. As for using the wacom stylus I see why not. I used Dell pens on the Yoga before and worked fine.

WOW your battery test does not come close to lenovo listed --- Up to 16.1 hours 57Whr (MM18)

@BsianTech Жыл бұрын

This is normally the case, good thing is things days some of the benchmarking software have added battery life test that keeps everything as consist as possible besides temperatures. I have now moved over to that for battery life test and broken it down to those common genres of work load instead. Manufactures use MobileMark results as their standard for quoting battery life from.
