Didn't know that it had Ryzen 3 really and vega 6 instead of Vega 8, and a less res screen instead of FHD, and a soldered ram of just 8 GB, I was about to buy a used one from a market nearby, which offers the above mentioned specs, whixh isn't great, for around 215 USD/325,000 IQD, I wanted it for basic business/work taks such as chrome (many tabs, where the ram is an issue), emails, YT, MS office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook), SharePoint, and some light programmes, now consuming YT and listening to music will not be great as per your review, same goes for some light FPS/RTS/RPG/Racing gaming, I was planning to have it as business/gaming light laptop to carry abd travel with(light weight and small screen in addition tp build quality and keyboard are the things I liked always about Lenovo Thinkpads.. but rest, its kinda disappointing to have soldered ram, bad cooling and low APU (CPU /GPU) TDP of 17 Watts, bad gaming experience and not so great battery life in addition to low sounding speakers, it breaks the deal to me I think, for business only though I would definitely recommend it, but why Lenovo you being kinda Apple and Nvidia doing what you did with price/specs... This is not an E series or V15 pricin/specs ... Greetings from Iraq, and thanks for the great review, subscribed and liked your video, also great to know about the wattage increasing software 😊

Big kudos for testing with and without the 17TDP limit. This indeed is a big performances boost, which makes this laptop viable for playing occasionally in the end. Thanks also for pointing the air being going to the right side, this is rare for us left handed to not be harassed by the heat :D Definitely convinced me to take the 180euro refurbished opportunity i had today. Keep up the good work ✅

It was one of the most complete and accurate reviews and assessments I've ever seen. Well done, son.

Can be the laptop be used if the battery is removed but connected to power? Thx

Excellent review

I just bought this hotas 4, is it compatible with msfs20? Do these buttons provide enough mapping to play msfs2020 comfortably?

Hi amazing video……I have a question.. is it compatible with MacBook? Or which HOTAS is better option for MacBook Aerofly FS4 Sim among HOTAS (1/X/4)?

Feels like a school presentation project for like a filming class , but great review and subbed because of it

many years before this youtube, airbus attempted to make all their planes fly consistently the same, inckuding automated landing. this is possible for some.

The mini Ethernet never went well. Because most people would buy usb c hubs or Ethernet adapters for less than Lenovo’s own adapter

Greet flying keep it up😊

I spent thirty five years working in this industry, this is the best video on a beautiful display system. Thanks

A bit late here, but do you think the battery life is enough for university studies? Alot of reviews online are criticizing the X13 Gen1a's battery life alot, but I dont know if this is exaggerated. A Ryzen 5 5600U Thinkpad is about 110USD more expensive here (T14sG2a) so I dont know if it is worth it, or the X13 is enough already (battery wise).

Maybe it was mentioned somewhere in the comments but I would like to give my 2 cents as well, as a person designing and building the visual world the simulator flies through (on the defense and security side of the company). The visual background design holds accuracy to a higher standard than how nice it looks (1 example: materials. You'd notice different behavior in the sim between asphalt or concrete, going over oil slicks and the like). This has changed recently with the CAE Prodigy introduction where the visuals can finally be up to par with games but still retain the level of accuracy needed for in depth simulation of all systems and emergencies that pilots need to train for.

i just bought a lenovo x395 (reconditionned) and the colors are very light blue and pale, lack of contrast. the blacks are grey-blue... any idea ? i've tried calibration it doesnt solve the problem

upgradable poba?

Which one better x395 or t480s?

What about the i5 variant in 2024? I have a recommendation for the Intel version for our teachers and staff doing basic tasks. Thank you for your input!!:)

Would you prefer a hotas 4 or a logitech pro 3d for a game like War thunder?

Suction cups would have been good, hey you're good at this great presentation well done young man

Hi , im looking for some suggestions. I'm in need of ultrawide, 29inch will be a sweep spot for me. Concerns are - they are mostly available in 2560x1080 resolution giving out 96ppi. 1. Will that be easy on eyes ? 2. at arm's distance is text pixelated ?. Are you able to read text (for 6-8 hours a day) at that distance comfortably ? Also, i'll be using it in grayscale mode and in split screen. so what options do you suggest ? Should i go for VA (as major use wll be in monochromatic mode) or IPS. Budget is a concern. Also, typing this from 15 inch 109ppi laptop screen. so u have an idea of the kind of upgrade experience i can have.

I couldn't tell, call you instead a 2nd ssd and is full size or not?

The Andrea Galeazzi of Singapore :). thanks for the hones review!

From a speculation standpoint, regarding the speakers... Older Lenovo models had speakers to left and right of the keyboard. But the microphone might have been picking up the audio resulting in audio-feedback. A downward facing speaker would mitigate that... at the cost of quality, as you've pointed out.

Soldered RAM should be illegal 😅

I just got one of these used and was looking up reviews. Really good production dude, really good stuff. 👍

It's a dream to fly in such a SIM. Unfortunately in India there is only one service provider FSTC and they don't watch my channel 😅😊😂 #fstc

Hi Thank you for the content, I am interested in knowing about the gamma/gamut/colourspace of the screen, is it 100%sRGB and 100% Adobe RGB and 100% DCI P3? How much is the delta shift on the colur? <2 or worst? At the moment I have an old MSI for creators with good colour gamma but after 5years is breaking apart and I must change it with a ggod machine that has a good fideilty on colur space and is updated to today, spendjing on the middle-cheap side. When you use it for example to render video with a video editing app, and in the same time use a Photoediting app, and in the same time put in background youtube to hear someone while you are working does this Machine overheat? I didn't find also how many decibel are the cooling fan when is in the "quiet mode" and when is in the rendering and photo editing mode, how loud is it? like silent for a bibliotek or noisy for a café? I may be recording audio directly on the pc and hearing the ventilation is not good, I may be using in silent environments like bibliotek. A last question please, how good are the audio spekers? Thanks, Max P.S. I am specifically interested in the 16 inches 2023 model, Thanks

I have a question for you. Can you hook the dress master for 2 PlayStation? 54 the wingman project wingman if so how I tried

dang this was before msfs2020

Good job! I flew Finnair's A330 sim recently, its amazing how realistic these are.

great presentation

Thank you for a good review of the Hotas!! I’ve been debating buying one and I think this finally pushed me over the edge

i have this exact model/spec since few days and i love it so far, the new keyboard layout takes a bit to get used to it but the spec on the other hand is wonderful and the screen colors are amazing with great balck contrast !

Well explained... 👍

my friend thanks for nice review. please wich the best t480s i5 8th or x395 ryzen5 3500u i want to bay one of them

That thumbs up with the crash was priceless 😂😂😂 instant like 👍

I know its old by now. But this has been an awesome review my friend :)

I was having at 4.0 Ghz on a 4790k with noctua nh-d15 90-100c on stress test and even in games. I replaced the thermal compound and have now been able to only reach 70 celsius now at a over clock of 4.5, absolutely replace your thermal paste after 5 years I'd say.

me and you, we have the same keyboard and im about to recieve the same stick as you. XDDDDD

This is the new second hand laptop of my daughter after a dell e7440

You know you're old when you hear "I've been into flight simming since the humble days of FSX" I remember playing FS4!!!

i got this for 630$ on prime day U.S. Amazon

I really do love your videos man. As much as i want to gate-keep your channel to have a closer personal connection (through comments and stuff) i really do hope you reach your inevitability to thrive. Keep doing your amazing work and kudos to you for putting in your best when making these videos although we may not be the largest audience❤️🤘🏾

Great video. Well presented and very clear points, I was surprised to see you don't have many subs and don't upload anymore

The only thing missing is sleeping pills to recreate the experience of being overworked and tired

is hdmi port not connected to dGPU ? ( Although I didn't needed this untill now when I ordered a 120Hz OLED TV , but if its connected to iGPU then its fucking terrible)

Look at this smart mf with his internal static friction calculations...

I do like how you demonstrated this with different types of flight games, instead of just primarily focusing on Microsoft flight sim. This review gave me a better idea that I can use it for the combat flight games I have. Maybe I'll try some Velcro scrips on the bottom for my temporary set up when it arrives.

luckily i got it for $630 in prime day ^^
