I am glad laptops are finally stepping away from 16:9 aspect ratios

I donno why I'm surprised, but I really enjoyed this video. We are all maturing with time and your reviews team, are also doing just that. Kudos.

I love hearing the other guys adding commentary off-camera. Made me smile a ton.

I really like your fresh setup on the background. Thank you..

Always refreshing to watch yr reviews. Well done.

Totally waiting for ryzen 6000u here. Thank you so much for the review

256GB at $1400 is Apple levels of grift.

Great Canadian review, thank you !

Great video!

Great review! Will you be reviewing the Generation 2 Nano that also features the Alder Lake processor? I would love to hear your thoughts on it considering I’m looking at picking one up!

Amazing review that must have taken a lot of work to create! Thank you!

Great video, in laptops battery life and performance are key determinants

I was eyeballing this to replace my very aging yoga laptop back from 2014. So I appreciate this review. I love the yoga series for it's compactness and sleep style with decent performance usually. (My old yoga suffered from bad heat chassis issues tho) But man you aren't kidding about things going out of stock...alot. Many many good laptops are hard to get due to supply chain problems.

The thing I like about it is the rounded front edge. Is it just me or everybody else prefers sharp edges that practically all laptops sport nowadays?

Lovely design. Im sold.

8Gig and 256 should be a crime after the year 2020.

Wow. That's such a good review! Subscribed! Could you please review galaxy book 2 pro 360?

Nice review! I'm from Austria and i was able to book the Yoga 9i with 4K OLED, 1260p, 16Gb, 1Tb and it arrivedt in the middle of march. Two days later i shipped it back. The fans had a terrible electronic noise. For example when i was surfing the internet sometimes the fans kicked slightly on. The airbornenoise was definitly quiet or not noticeable in officemode, but the terrible high frequent "coil whinning" was awful. I have knewn that OLEDs consume much more and 4K is also consuming more, but it was the only version at the release in Austria. I just wanted "now" a convertible. Consider with my configuration it was hard to keep the total average wattage (HWiNFO64) below 10 W. Usually in youtube and surfing you have to consider in average 12 Watt, so 6-7h is a realistig "guaranteed" situation withoug a lot of measure to save battery. Maybe in March it was an bad bios-version and maybe Win11 is not so power efficient then Win10. Maybe caused by the included security features? I think, that Intel has optimised the P-Cores much more to IPC and Latency compared to the TigerLake. It's okay, there a the E-Cores, but maybe at this time the ThreadDirector isn't so good optimised. Maybe there is more potential with this architecture but maybe the P-Cores boost to often e.g. when loading a new page in the internet. Nevertheless Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 with it's 1260p has less battery life then the predecessor Galaxy Book Pro 360... I hope Microsoft and Intel will optimise that with Microcode (Bios) and Kernelupdates. Now i had a radical decision and I booked the Asus Rog X13, with 6800HS and without the dGPU (only with the iGPU 680M). I don't like the gaming design as much, it has no incredible soundbar and the clickpad has to be compensated a little bit with the touchscreen or ussualy i'm using a normal bluetootmouse. It's not terrible just compared to the yoga 9i! In my opinion this "gaming" convertible is the best all-day and all-purposd thin and light convertible you can get at the moment. It's the only Rembrandt model you can get in the small thin and light convertible class (in Austria). It has a similar high performance, maybe higher in multicore in long term in comparsion to the 1260p The iGPU is much faster and ideal for classic games like e.g. Age of Empires Definitis Edition. The display is not so glossy and the panel achieves now 500nits including 120Hz. So the IPS (FullHD+) with Rembradt instead of OLED (4K, but OLED) with AlderLake has much more battery life. 100% sRGB is enough for me. Most of the material is sRGB and for hobby photography maybe it's enought. Additionally i have a 4K Monitor. At next if you consider to take a Rembrandt 6000series, keep in mind that USB 4.0 isn't automatically included. Asus said, that the USB-C Port on the left side is fully hardware specified and there will come a software update for USB 4.0 so Thunderbolt 3 is included and maybe eGPU (not from Asus) are possible to use! Currently Intel is just good in Performance/Watt with TDP above 45 Watts. Below this wattage AMD isn't losing so much Performance. With Rembrandt AMD has shown, that with more buil-in powersaving-features there is such more to achieve with the x86-architecture. I can't wait to see the new mobile 7000 series from AMD. Then we can compare AMD 7000 and Apples M1 with the identical 5nm process from TSMC. So we will see what Apple has "bought" with 5nm and what is there achievement in architeture design. But don't expect the same efficiency, it's hard to optimise a big CISC x86 to that efficiency. At next Apple is engineering the Software including all the hardware so they can optimise to every product the software and can optimise the hardware much better. For example besided the SoC the DC/DC-Converters etc. But it's insane, what AMD is able to get out of the x86-architecture keeping in mind they are note using any bigLITTLE-principle!

I like the design, my compliments end there.

Did you remove all the Lenovo bloatware? Could be some background processes preventing CPU deep sleep states which would affect battery live.

Yeah you can tell from the graphs with alder lake and ryzen 5800u, windows 11 is handling tasks with 16 logical cores in the traditional way. This is why there is little variance from the 1260p and 5800U as the intel chip eeks it out due to higher clock speed until it has to throttle down. The sucky battery life shows there doesn't seem to be optimization for tasks and the problem right now with alder lake is windows 11 doesn't treat task handoff like MacOS especially with the P & E core and dedicated neural engine cores. This unfortunately is also exacerbate by heat output as the windows needs to constantly measure and adjust clock speed as the cpu is running around 20 watts vs 7watts in the M1 Interesting you mentioned the igpu too because even though there are no dedicated AI core there are instructions for deep learning BUT those are tied into the iGPU for hardware accelerating

Hi. Does that tiny laptop throttle all the time that you use the pc showed on HWinfo?

Great review! I love how you go into details on everything. Here's the pressing question: should I go for a Yoga 9i or a Thinkpad Yoga for everyday business use? And why would I want just a 14-inch instead of the standard 15.-inch screen? Are there pros and/or cons to having a 14-inch screen?

Hoping to see the LG Gram 2022 review, very interested to see what LG can do with the the i7-1260p with the silent fan design and the extreme battery life that they are known for

3:34, seriously, who uses these buttons compare to dedicated home, page up, page down and end

The Canadian Tire reference got me - I've heard too many "Crappy Tire" cautionary tales lol

It would be nice a review of either the brand new Dell Precision 5470 (14" RTX A1000) and the Lenovo P14s Gen 3 (Nvidia T550).

Appreciate the review of this greatly, I'm looking at getting a 2-in-1/tablet style notebook this year so hopefully you'll get more in this segment. I know it would add a fair bit to your workload, but given the way that optimized mode bounced clockspeeds around I'm really curious if that's really a noticeable improvement over "extreme" in battery life.

i must admit, speaking as someone who buoght the legion, lenovo does really odd things with their specs versus price, have to wait for a deal for things to look reasonable

Doing a battery test with white screen on an OLED display might not be a fair "comparison". Though it does actually reflect the real-world scenario of white screen browser / explorer / applications etc., Most of these applications have a dark mode as well! If you redo the battery test with dark mode and get a different score, change the way you do battery tests!

this exact machine with the 6800U and it's RDNA2 iGPU would've been an absolute monster, even in gaming

I am looking at this laptop/tablet for my needs of portability, but at the same time be able to run on the go photoediting on lightroom, some design work on illustrator and photoshop (nothing high level), and premiere pro, or Da Vinci resolve on the go. (nothing high level, again, but short 3-4 minute 4k videos with color correction) One of the key information i am looking for is the amount of Vram the Intel Iris card has. I read some information on it being 4gb, but this information is not very easily available. Can you comment on this please? Thanks!

Great review! In July I bought the 2.5k OLED 9i directly from Lenovo for $1700, it arrived with a cracked screen, Lenovo quickly replaced it. The replacement 9i kept freezing, rather than replace it again I returned it for a refund because Best Buy had the 4k OLED 9i on sale for $1350 with no tax (Florida tax holiday). Whichever manufacturer's laptop you buy, you should include in the cost a 3 year premium warranty, not doing so is too much of a risk.

I have the previous version and this is a massive improvement. It's kinda depressing (mostly the display TBH, but still).

When will you review the new Zenbook UX3402?

I physically recoiled when I saw the price for that base model before you brought up the prices it was going for in the real world. I mean, I wouldn't pay more than 900 for anything with those specs but that 1450 is insane.

The microphone test was very impressive! I did not expect the compression to be that dynamic when Demetri (sp?) started talking. 5:57 🤟

I just received this same model, just 4, 5 hours of battery is a Big no for me. I am going to return it but still dont know for what model

I chose the 11th gen 9i (14 inch) over the 13 inch hp oled last year. It was on a crazy sale at 1000 pre tax for the i7 and 16gb. The performance is great, battery life is excellent compared to the 6th gen dell it replaced, and the IPS panel is still pretty good. The 13" HP Oled while amazing looking had one fatal flaw: trackpad was small af. You couldn't pay me enough to swap this thing out for that OR this new model. I'm keeping this laptop until the heat death of the universe. The back cover comes off with out any annoying ass rubber strips!! If there was an OLED panel option for this model, I'd honestly swap it out myself bc lenovo parts aren't usually that tough to get.

Why do you still use cine R20 Pls include R23 results as well

Exactly what is the Alder Lake problem? I bought a Yoga 9i in February 2022. it has the earlier 11 Gen i7??? It is an amazing laptop however it seems unreliable, In less than 6 months I have had to replace 2 motherboards WTF?? My configuration below Part No: 82BG009MUS Configuration Details ● Processor: 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1195G7 Processor (2.90 GHz, up to 5.00 GHz with Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 12 MB Cache) ● Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64 ● Display Type: 14.0" UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS, touchscreen, HDR 400, 500 nits ● Memory: 16 GB LPDDR4X 4267MHz (Soldered) ● Hard Drive: 1 TB PCIe SSD ● Warranty: 1 Year Premium Care ● Graphics: Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics ● Camera: 720p HD ● Pen: Lenovo Active Pen ● Fingerprint Reader: Fingerprint Reader Ultrasonic ● Keyboard: Backlit - US English ● Wireless: 802.11AX (2 x 2) & Bluetooth® 5.1

maybe the performace can improve via bios update?

Amazing Video!

I'm wondering if a software update will fix the battery I'm kinda bummed because I just paid insane money for a surface pro 8 xD

Pls review latest asus zenbook pro 15 oled up6502 there is not a single video on this device on the internet, i think it is the best in it category

not a word about the Touch Screen, what about comparability with wacom pen? touch latency?

I don't think it's a fair comparison between ADL-P and typical U series processor. First is that there's still 9-15W ADL-U lineup, the second is that I think ADL-P Is something more like the replacement of the former H35 - which aims to be squeezed into the thin-and-light gaming model like ASUS Tuf Dash or MSI Stealth. 13hr-ish battery life is sure not that impressive on Yoga with such huge battery, but if you put this kind of battery life on Tuf Dash, that would be totally amazing.

I HAVE LAST YEARS LEATHER MODEL 4K WITH FULL 1T HD AND TOP CPU. I love it. i bought it on a lenova flash sale for 800 p[ounds and would happily p[ay 1200 uk pounds for it. but id love this new one. problem is they have goten rid of the pen dock and i hate that. i dont use the pen alot and if i did id buy as better one but for my usage haveing it docked has been a blessing. i used it to draw rooms and furnature and measurements for ikea trips lol, it has proven to be super handy. again im no artist and if i was i can buy a thick big pen. b i here people saying new pen is great and better even with dock gone, i just dont get their reaction. give us a docked cheap pen and alow more serieous people to get and pay for a thicker better pen. still love all the other things exept battery life on new model.

Could you try to ad the i5 and R5 models to your test suite? Would be amazing

I got 5295pts on Cinebench on balanced mode and an impressive 8899pts on extreme performance mode. So they must have improved their drivers.

PLEASE review the new XPS 17 with 12th gen intel.

Where can I find that car wallpaper on that laptop ?

I want to upgrade from Macbook Air 2017 Model. is this better than macbook air 2017 in every way ?

Why wasent the amd 6000 series not compared?

There is a Lenovo Ideapad 700 Carbon w/ 5800U + 16GB LPDDR4X + 14" 2.8k OLED (QHD) + quad speakers + 512GB SSD. There is an optional MX350 model as well. Only 2.3LB too. That laptop is much better than the Yoga 9i even if it seems like the 9i stole the screen for the QHD model. Try to get your hands on the Carbon; I managed to find one on ebay even if its "temporarily unavailable" via the Lenovo website... The one I got cost under $1200 too so it seems like it would also be a much better deal than this one.

Can you please review Lenovo slim pro X AMD version

Did you also notice graininess in the 2.8K oled screen ? As I read at notebookcheck ? :'( Especially on white backgrounds ?)

Can someone repeat to me again what his only problem in the end was? I gues it was about the processor as it was shown in the vido but he kind of mumbled a bit and I didn't get what he was referring to exactly, especially because I thought the 9i had an intel i7? :o

Please review Samsung Book2 pro

For reference, we have actually implemented FHD camera's in all of our ThinkPads this year, as well as Dolby Voice (you mentioned many features from the Gen 9 Carbon as opposed to the new Gen 10). I belive this Yoga in the consumer lineup may have the dolby voice feature as well. You should keep an eye out for our Rembrant CPUs on the T, X, and Z series (try and get your hands on a Z13 or Z16 for a review, you're going to love it).

I wonder how much using an OLED screen eats at battery life, even if not run at max brightness.

The extra column of buttons should be on the LEFT. That way the LETTERS section on the keyboard would shift to a more central position.

The A roll looks super sweet! This is an interesting laptop. I do like the design. OATMEAL! 🤣

Hey so you said the display offers 90hz but on the Lenovo website it says 60hz?

I feel like laptops in 2022 that offers 256GB of storage should be illegal...

seems like you forgot to factor in the screen resolution and refresh rate when you were comparing battery life to the other computers. especially if this was the 4k oled version, the other configuration(FHD @60hz) would get much better battery results. nonetheless, 13 hours with a 4k oled panel @ 90hz is fair to say the least.

Edit: confirmed by Canucks that it indeed supports 90Hz, thanks! Original comment: That said, no offense but I don't believe your 9i runs at 90Hz. Not a single other reviewer has said it supports 90Hz and I saw the PDF spec sheet for this laptop and at neither 4K nor at 2.8K does it say it supports 90Hz, just 60Hz. Feel free to show proof of these 90Hz to prove me wrong

喜欢，准备购买国行版

I have the yoga 9i and need to know if some of the issues is expected to get solved or improved by Lenovo/windows updates? btw. You should have mentioned how great and far better than competitors the speaker sound is ;-)

Why does it take soooo long for designs to change and accommodates such simple and obvious needs like the rounded edges for better tablet handling?

Are you sure that screen is 90hz?

The camera blur is absolutely horrendous.

You could buy Framework Laptop at $1,449.00 for same cpu, but with 16gb ram and 512gb rom with everything replaceable and upgradable...

Nice review great I details

I like dimitri's interruptions ?

hello do u have a PC give away atm???

Linux laptops do not suffer from shortages. Just go for that lol. I'm looking at a tuxedo laptop here in Europe

Ugh they need to bring back the cool hinge...

why are you comparing battery life with only 13 inch laptops??? Lenovo Yoga is 14 !?

Yet, the camera framerate seems quite low. I mean almost "56 kilobytes modem" slow.

Half-sized arrows, why such galfonization continues?!

1450 for 8gb ram and 256gb ssd? Even MacBooks are cheaper than that

Maybe they should have stuck a Ryzen 6000 series APU in there instead.

Great but lets wait the AMD version

Like the game performance only depends on CPU architecture...

My guy knows what’s up. I see macOS in the background haha!

I bought a used ideapad 5 for less than 500 bucks. Iris Xe with 96 execution units means it can do light gaming (about as good as a MX350)

Why is it that I can’t see a 1800p 90hz OLED option now?? I only see 1200p IPS and a 3840 x 2400p 60hz OLED, the latter being extremely brutal on battery life and that boring 60hz. This laptop was just perfect if it wasn’t for that!!

The level of bad people are okay with in webcams is sad. 7 year old phone cameras are insanely better and should be cheap to include.

I love how Dimitry just randomly shouting out on the background when Eber finished talking about the webcam and the mic lol

This laptop, looks like what i've seen before from "Jush Josh" YT channel He was talked some problem about this device, especially with Processor inside it

So here is my speculation as to why the battery life in your light load test seems low given the capacity. In truth, if you look at the current capacity of batteries, the average Laptop goes from 3400 - 7000mah. Thin and light hover around the 4400-5000mah. For example, my Envy X360 2020 Ryzen model has a 51Wh battery, 3 cells @ 11.45V + 4450mah. (Also the 13in model, with the 4500U*). That falls around the 13 hour mark in this test also. This machine you've tested has a 4 cell 75Wh battery @ 15.52V + 4835mah. The current capacity difference is roughly ~ 385mah + 1 cell extra @ ~3.7V. In reality? 4 cells allows for lower current across each cell and current drops in a series config. 3 is similar, but with high current. A well designed battery with battery management tools for longetivity will ensure that 1 cell doesn't drain faster than the others. (A lot of battery stuff I cannot rmr, so meh). Anyways, 75Wh is accurate.. but the true capacity is only 8% larger (we are talking current capacity), versus 51-62Wh batteries of the same caliber (albeit 1 less cell). Note they are other factors, that I may not have mentioned in typing out this comment. I just wanted to focus on the battery*

It's intel alder flame

Watching this in August 2022 and I'm not sure if I can count more than five laptops based on the Ryzen 6000 series. This is getting ridiculous. Was the 6000 series Zen3+ unveiling a PR stunt entirely? Are they unable to manufacture chips or is it that they can't close deals with laptop makers in the mighty presence of Intel? Because we don't see Intel having trouble supplying dozens of laptops with Alder Lake processors. I'm beginning to think that if I want a machine with the latest processor, I should forget about AMD and just buy something that's AVAILABLE, and that's 99% Intel.

Basic is $5-800, entry level is $8-1100, intermediate is $1100-1500, and enthusiast is $1500+ all for desktop of course. God forbid someone spend $2000+ on a damn desktop!

I habe this laptop only problems. Fan high pitch noise. Touch pad makes cracking noises. What a crap.

Am I losing my mind, or is anytime you say that laptop webcams are alright all I see is terrible image quality? It does seem that your filming setup is almost the worst case scenario for them...

That's a 28W cpu. The performance you test in 28W. 9:55 The power usage you said is 23W what the heck. People believe you stop lying.

one word...EXPENSIVE

the price is just insane, and....i think the cam quality is atrocious ? theres like 16 colors in total ! giving 8gb of ram as base is just an insult in 2022
