Please glue on a pair of joycons and show us some giant DS emulation 🙏

The dual monitor mode is 100% what I want for work, as my portable work setup already includes an external kb/m and an extra monitor. Idk about using it for art, but spreadsheets looking tasty on that.

Thanks for the review, it's a shame Lenovo still hasn't improved their pen for artists. I'm now rooting for Samsung to poach this idea and do it right

This would rock for in-person D&D! Flip it over and you have a screen to show stuff to your players. Hand-write notes if you prefer that on your side of the device.

TIP: I received mine on Monday, and by great luck ordered the perfect mouse for it: “Microsoft Surface Mobile Wireless Mouse, Ice Blue”. Light-weight, curved, slightly magnetic, and very close to matching in color. Super happy with both!

I understand why phones remove the headphone jack as bluetooth headphones while more expensive does what 99% of people need them to do. On a productivity laptop, that's an entirely different story. You need accurate sound without latency for long periods of time. Sure wireless headphones will get there, but they're not there yet, so it's still too early to remove the headphone jack in my opinion.

One benefit of using this kind of pen is that this device now has a beautiful, clear screen. All the “Wacom” touch + pen oled screens made by Samsung for laptops currently have an annoyingly visible grid, masking all the beauty of the oled. I was so happy to see this one is close to perfect. Not everything is perfect though: The screens have not been calibrated and are somewhat over-saturated. A review found theirs to be very similar so it could be that a few settings and an averaged calibration file can do wonders. They are also glossy and easily get smutched I find.

I came here just to say that your courses are SO FUN! I am following "Learn to Drawn in 60 Days" (Day 16) and having so much fun. I've bought many other courses over time, but every time I feel like having fun while learning, I go to some of your courses. They are just the best, I always have a great time with them. Very well done! Love how you teach. 👍🏼

I've been eyeing this notebook a LOT lately, was super thankful to find your review because you just saved me a ton of money! I'd use it for art direction and animation and thought a pen with Wacom tech meant Cintiq-quality displays. NNnnnnope, this would be unusable to me, glad the one I had in my cart went out of stock! The form factor is incredible though, I really really really really want to believe in it. Like you said, maybe in a few gens. Again, super duper appreciate the line art demo and honest review for artists! I'll stick to my XP Pen Pro and iPad Mini for portable work when I'm not around my anchored-at-home Cintiqs...

Thanks for sharing....justpicked one of these up and its awesome.

Thanks very much for this review. This had seemed really intriguing, but I wasn't sure how the drawing experience would be. I appreciate your thoughts on this.

Lenovo USED to have Wacom EMR pen screens. 2015 was their last model, the Thinkpad Yoga 12 2nd gen. Screen calibration was kinda garbage, but it did the job and it ran Windows 8 so there wasn’t any of that Windows Ink nonsense deal with. After that, they went with Wacom’s AES pens that were battery powered. Those, I’ve never tried, but essentially, if you have a surface pen and it works on the screen, it’s an MPP pen display. I’ve been looking at this lenovo laptop for a while because I really love the concept, but nobody mentioned what kind of pen it had. Also, everytime Lenovo makes something this different from the standard laptop fare, it ends up being kinda short-lived with terrible support once a major update makes it buggy. Happened with the first Lenovo Yogabook that ran Android.

I really wanted to see this, glad you did it

Definitely not designed for Artist but seems great for students.

Great review. I'm not sure why I haven't seen your reviews before, but I've just subscribed. I feel a bit late, but at least I'm in the first million.

I watched your previous video and was going to ask for a review of your sponsor product, but self edited that out. I really appreciate the video as far as being 'straight up.'

Thanks for the informative review. I'm curious to hear what your thoughts on the Lenovo Extreme Tablet are? Seems they tried gunning at the Ipad Pro

THANK YOU for reviewing the pencil and drawing capabilities, that's the only thing i was looking for in a review (because of the nature of the laptop). I hope they get better in the future for artists because this concept is REALLY interesting. Not needing to carry a separate wacom tablet and have a screen to feel like you're actually paining is important to me, but apparently the technology is not there yet... but i hope brands will notice this potential an MAYBE colaborate with one of the drawing tablets brand monsters out there ;3 xd

Its nice to see the Surface Neo finally being released

What mouse did they send you? I like the design and would love to buy the same one!🙏 Thanks for the scintillating review

It’s odd that the pen has a lot of wobble. I’ve got a Lenovo Flex 5 and it’s using Wacom AES 2 technology, hardly any wobble at all. My pen works with MPP protocol too, but thankfully the laptop doesn’t support it. This looks like the same pen, but might indeed use the ‘wrong’ protocol, that’s a shame. I was considering this, but now I’m glad I went with the single screen one instead.

Hey Brad, the xiaomi pad 6 came out and your reviews are almost picture perfect for us artists! Please review it if possiblee!!! Keep the great content up and always a fan!

Do you think they will have a new pen to upgrade to in 6 months to a year for this device? I see this becoming a very popular form function for laptops for remote workers and designers. Also could one buy another off brand pen for this and it be compatible as a second option? I've been waiting for the perfect all in one laptop as a designer and an architect. Sadly for architecture the graphics cards and possibly other specs in laptops haven't advanced enough yet but this form is the first ideal form I've seen for a designer like me who works in Canva a lot and Vector programs and who writes a lot of documents and needs multiple screens for multitasking and efficiency.

Gr8 vid as always and the device genuinely looks amazing minus the few minor hiccups (mainly the pen), but since U do (quite a few) reviews for tech; I was wondering if U have a spare room in Ur house, just to store them afterwards or do U send them back? Cause if U do keep them ‘all’, they have to take up so much space. 🤦‍♂️ I was just wondering about that. 🤷‍♂️ [I am “smooth 🧠’d”]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS BRAD! THANK YOUUUU

Do you think this would be a good investment for writing books? You had mentioned you wrote scripts on it so I was curious about that aspect more so than art.

If you get direct from Lenovo...make sure you get your mouse from the carton! I almost missed it and was about to throw the box away...They should have included a 'what's in the box' note!

Hi, I was hoping you could help. Do you think this would be good for using Adobe photoshop, InDesign and illustrator or would Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio be better?

I hope you'll have the oportunity to review the Asus duo aswell, and test it's drawing capabilities, that'll be awesome!

would you recommend this laptop to someone that is into programming, coding, and such !!????

I need a laptop for regular home use. Working on PowerPoint, excel, word, internet. Love two screens. Would this be overkill?

If this laptop uses the same AES 2.0 sensor technology behind the screen as the Lenovo Yoga C940 15.6" laptop, then: I have found that the Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus stylus WITH the special nib (the one with the blue ring) smooths out about 90% of those wobbles AND adds tilt and rotation sensing, which the original stylus does not. In other words, the sensor is pretty good, but they shipped it with a crappy stylus. The sensor is AES 2.0 compatible, but the original stylus is not. Go figure. Anyway, I'm sure you have a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus lying around. Give it a try and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

Great review, Brad. I recently lent my laptop to a friend's sister, and she returned it two weeks later, not working. Using my IT skills I got it working again, except for the audio, and it's slower than I remember, and it smells funny. I'm pretty sure it got very wet somehow on its journey. So I'm looking for a new laptop. I think it's down to the MacBook Air 15 M2, the Yoga Book 9i, or the Dell XPS 15 (xn95300r34g001smauw) which is on sale right now. I'm in Australia, so we're about 6 months behind the US with technology, but we get great sunshine.

Will a supposedly better pen like Wacom o some other third party pen work with this lapto and fix your issues with the pen?

Can you hook up an external monitor? And which screen would be mirrored?

Is the pen have same quality in lenovo yoga 7i? I wanna buy yoga 71 2in1 but really worry about line jitter and wobble 😢

Eee, you got me at battery powered pen. Thanks for these videos/reviews! It looked cool and something I thought that I could consider as a possible digital mobile drawing device but, nope. Thanks!

❤huion kamvas 16 vs huion kamvas pro 16 witch graphic tablet i choose?......please brad sir guide me.....love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Could you recommend for photographers. Even editing weddings?

2:30 I am surprised you were surprised about that. If they specifically design that function you would think it works as it should no? I am not surprised at all that it works perfectly. If you compare it to other similar palm rejection....those are usually not designed around that. At least not on laptops.

I really really like that the first thing you do is show us diagonal lines slowly drawn on the screen. Seeing the amount of stairs it created told me everything that I need to know about it. Ill stick with my iPad Pro for now.

Can you try drawing on the bottom screen. Maybe they put better drawing support in the bottom screen

Love the idea of 2 OLED screens. The only thing keeping me from getting one is being a sketcher/painter I would need a pen as good (or nearly as good) as the Apple Pencil 2 or at least as good as the Surface Pen 2. The idea to have a photo to sketch from on the top and the sketch/paint program on the bottom screen. Also, like the large Surface Duo-like 2 screens rather than the fold idea of a continuous OLED Screen. So, once Lenovo comes out with a generation of this where the Pen is really Apple Pencil quality I would get serious to have it as an iPad/Surface Pro replacement. I understand Apple is working on a fold version of the iPad which may come out 3 or so years from now. It is the future. From the drawing demo in the video looks like maybe 2 generations away. I use Rebelle 7 as my main drawing paint program it Rebelle requires some extra graphics horsepower. I use the Surface Pro 8 (i7) with Rebelle and could use more power.

Has anyone found a compatible pen for the Yoga Book 9i? The specs says it uses the Lenovo Digital Pen (Gen 3) but I can't find anything that would act as a replacement if you lose the pen that comes with it.

What about for coding, reading, and school?

That pen is not intended for drawing, but for productivity work on Word and Excel, and signing PDF documents.

What is the brand and name of your drawing hand guard?

Imissed listerning you comment on the fact that you put something hard, like the keyboard, on top of a screen and then put on pressure on that... is it going to scratch? Is it going to break? Personally that would frak me out all the time.

I tried it at best buy. Is the bottom screen dimmer. I could not get it to be brighter. Which is my only issue

Interesting. Lenovo did something similar years ago with a device that had a screen on one half and a Touchkeyboard/Wacom tablet on the other. The thing was terrible and would throttle so quick and hard, that it became borderline unusable.

1:01 What did you mean when you said "palm recogjition" Palm rejection or recognition?

Would love for you to review the Xiaomi Pad 6

It's really neat, but I can see a little line wobble in almost everything you're drawing there. Really unfortunate. I do a lot of drawing on a Yoga 720 from a few years ago, and I don't think the wobble is as bad as this. 😕

I would like to see this laptop in a desktop arm mount as 2nd monitor setup.

Im curious if other pens work on it? Like the Spen or other

The only review I care about.

What is with it with line wobble. Outside of Wacom and a few pen display manufactures it seems no one can eliminate it. I LOVE my Surface, but can't use it for drawing. This looks like a great device, other than for art. Well, one day.

Hi, are you still doing brads art school?

No any benchmarks? What kind of laptop review it is?

pretty shure the pen is aes since Lenovo uses aes on any of their other laptops. get a better pen like the precision pen 2 and see if it gets better.

I got a Yoga with a pen years ago and the drawing capabilities were pretty good.... right up until they stopped updating the drivers (less than year). The pen turned into a thin mouse, no pressure sensitivity. They make nice enough laptops, but their pen driver support is abysmal and I'd not buy them for drawing stuff for that reason. Even though this is a cool idea (2 screens), I don't trust Lenovo to give the screen proper driver/software support in the long run.

Lenovo. I need a 16 inch 4k version of this laptop! Make it happen now!

When is xiaomi pad 6 review coming?

Do you think that Samsung should make a windows version of the Galaxy S8 ultra?

This kinda reminds me of the surface neo.

Thanks for the vid. Pity, this smooth laptop isn't really for artists >,> (not that I could afford it anyway :) ) But it's a kool one still. //Your reviews are the best//

Please do a review of mi pad 6 🙏

Can you make a video up on (xiaomi pad 6)

I was going to say I'd rather get the Surface Studio but apparently it's twice the price of this thing 😏

Couldn't you buy a usbc adapter with a headphone port?

FYI: The Yoga Book does *not* use an MPP pen, it uses Wacom AES 2.0, which is vastly superior, but definitely falls short of Wacom's battery-less EMR tech that they reserve for their own products and that Samsung uses. The wobbly lines are more due to the pen than the digitizer. Lenovo included their crappiest pen with this very expensive device for some reason. If you buy a better one, you will have nearly zero wobble, even slightly better than a Surface Pro (which, for once, implements MPP correctly). As for non-Microsoft MPP devices, such as the HP Spectre x360 or some Dell XPS's I've used... Those are an absolute joke by comparison to even Lenovo's AES implementation. Source: I own this device and have a very, very large pen collection of every type XD For Lenovo AES owners: Try an HP Pro Pen G3, it is one of the better AES pens I've used and even supports both AES and MPP (but does NOT work well in MPP mode, then again, that's like trying to put lipstick on a pig).

He made that speaker segment sound like it's a bad thing for it to be loud.

Brad the Laptop is great, but being given crazy info by Lenovo is something that should be addressed. Care to comment? Ordered the 1TB on 6/16 with an estimated delivery of 6/23-6/28. A few days later, estimated delivery was 8/10. So, I called, and heard the same story about it being a "customized" product. I was assured they'd expedite, and that the date would be moved up and then not change again. It went to 8/02. Checked yesterday, and it was 9/06. So, I called and was assured that they'd expedite, and that the date would change again to something sooner. Now the date is 9/26. I wonder how many other people are experiencing the same runaround...

what about the new Xiaomi pad 6

I'm waiting for new released xiaomi pad 6 with the 2nd gen pen that can hold insanely 150 hours!

Do a review of Xiaomi pad 6

wow you have like 10x more subscribers than you had last time i saw ya

This channel turns from art channel from art tech product review

Best single device for playing online D&D? 😆

Reminds me of the discontinued Microsoft Neo

Great lap top. I order one in July and Lenovo promises to deliver it - mid July than mid Aug than mid Sept that is if they have manufactured a part. So dodgy - weird to wrk wth them and customer disrespectful business . Yes I ordered directly from them. Shame

Once Lenovo gets the pen working to the level of the Surface Pen it’s over for all other laptops.

edit the work on this and render it either on my mac or desktop :d export the file

If the lines are shaky I don't think it's good for artists to use

This is Surface Neo made by Lenovo.

Hello Tabsen 😅

FiiO KA1 USB Amp/DAC usb-c DAC $49 and it will sound better than the headphone out

get a pair of creative outlier air golds.....they will last an entire day on a charge ...I leave my house wearing them and when im minutes away from home they give a few low battery notifications before dying out. there is absolutely no reason to be annoying yourself with headphone cords....lol

The website is suspended. I wanted to join the 60-day course

Your course link is dead. "This account has been suspended contact your hosting provider for more information"

cool device, but for me, jiggly line alone is big enough reason not to use it for digital art working.

Wait, so does this mean you cannot draw while using both screens? Oof, well there goes that idea out the window.

Xiaomi pad 6 .....drawing test video

❤

Pls test me pad 6

You seem like your just desperately trying to find somthing wrong to day and cant.... its a damn good laptop tbh, an perfect for grinding in my games an watching a movie n doong editing.... its perfect..

i love the laptop... but the stylus 😢😢😢

Its a lovely labtop, hopefully this labtop starts a movement for other companies to follow

U look nothing like your animated self 😂🥰

The pen looks like its of no use for an artist. Pity though, really cool piece of tech.
