#CES2025

[@PlatinAviation]

That's awesome - I've been excited and wondering since 2022, if there'll be another Yoga Slim 9i!

[@raldz]

I hate Lenovo's placement of the power button. I keep on accidentally turning off my laptop every time I lift it up to move around.

[@ledihildawan6756]

You can setting on this path: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings.

ThinkPad X9 without TrackPoint: 🤢🤮 Looks like Lenovo is about to get a lot of hate for this, and rightfully so.

[@xenonmob]

i’m more annoyed about the naming convention. why not call it a thinkbook?

[@vedkapur1]

Thinkpad track point designs 🤢

[@cameronbosch1213]

@vedkapur1 ...Then buy a different laptop. Literally any other laptop. Trackpoint fans have been getting the short end of the stick for years now.

[@vedkapur1]

​​@@cameronbosch1213 I don't understand tho why do people like thinkpads the design is so outdated

[@cameronbosch1213]

@vedkapur1 Because they used to just work not be some fashion accessory that broke all of the time. That seems to be where Lenovo is moving towards though, and many of those former fans and myself will probably be looking elsewhere in the future.

[@PreludeSon]

Thank you for going to the show to show us the latest and greatest technology coming this year.

[@rafaelperez9652]

Lots of wonderful new products imminently coming from Lenovo for 2025! I see that this innovative company is going hard on OLED displays which is absolutely awesome in my view! 1100 nits of peak brightness is truly incredible and I can't wait until Andrew gets his hot little hands on these products into the studio for testing!! Thank you Andrew! 👍😁

[@fahimdawer]

All new laptops are amazing specially with the new second series core ultra processors They are more thinner, better single core performance and good battery life..good for consumers

[@blackgold1859]

In line for your X9 14'' review...let's go! Happy New Year AMD!!

[@euovelha_]

The X9 without a trackpoint gives me pause, but the arrow keys with different sizes just makes it a hard pass.

[@anzhuliu]

Thank you for this. I am buying from lenovo canada now. But the odd thing is it doesn't say 1100 nits display for the thinkpad x9, only the 500 nits. Odd. And it states the yoga 9i 2-in-1 only has a 5mp camera, not 32mp. I think that's an error in the CES spec sheet ( i just got off the call with lenovo US, same people who answer when i call in Canada lol)

[@MB-dq2gz]

Serious portfolio coming from Lenovo. I look forward to seeing the reviews.

[@apotheases]

Nice video. As an intel promoter this is very informative as I know what's coming down the line for our customers.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Glad to help!

[@jtraveny]

wish we would get another x12 detachable to compete with the surface. so cool to see the steam os on the legion go.

[@feklee]

Agree, although it should be a bigger screen. I'm holding on to my X1 Tablet 3rd gen. There is still no tablet with better resolution and more storage (4TB, upgraded) on the market.

[@crazyelf1]

I really like the 14" 4k 120Hz OLED on the Slim Pro 9i 14. The display looks bright enough for sunlight and the under display camera is also really good. Out of curiosity, is there a 16" 4k 120Hz OLED as well? Looking forward to seeing them in your studio. Also, I checked Lenovo's website - I think there may be an issue at 3:46 - that screen is 2880 x 1800 max.

[@stefanoliveira8718]

Is there gonna be a Yoga Pro 9i this year?

[@arnulforamirez4836]

so no new yoga pro 9i 16 with oled or bigger battery

[@runningataltitude3361]

I know what the heck! Bummer !

[@arnulforamirez4836]

@runningataltitude3361 yup that would be nice

[@jacjankowski6180]

I believe there will be. I saw a video from one of Lenovo's KZbin channels about the Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024), and they mentioned briefly at the end some of the plans for the next model (e.g. implying it will have an OLED display). A lot of the other Lenovo Legion variants were also not shown in this year's CES despite being present last year, so it's possible Lenovo just chose not to feature the Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2025) as well. Additionally, the newly released Nvidia RTX 5000 series GPUs could mean a lot of their laptop lines are still under development or production since the laptop GPUs are released later in the year after the desktop line. I noticed in Andrew's video that none of the laptops shown this year - with the expection of the Legions - came with a designated GPU which is likely why they were ready for the show while a laptop like the new Yoga Pro 9i 16 would not be since it will likely come with one of the new RTX 5000 GPUs.

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

That oled display looks amazing.

[@ismaelrivera1999]

Love the Thinkpad x9 -15 “ ❤

[@odessastepsmag]

Love my Yoga slim from a couple years ago.

[@kurulusosman3181]

The slim is looking way better more😍

[@donpeters2012]

Good work! They’re more innovative than Apple .

[@HOPCOUNT]

14:34 Why do you need lights on the rear exhaust?

[@josephle2381]

Gaming vibes😭

[@Bluestreak589]

Some interesting models there. Look forward to seeing your reviews as they appear. I'm completely fine with TrackPoint getting dropped - I've never been a fan and find the nub gets in the way of typing. Though the current plan is to go Framework this year Lenovo would be, likely, the top alternative contender (ThinkPad in particular, maybe Legion).

[@AshTzu]

I'll never understand the obsession with laptops being searingly bright. I don't want it to feel like I'm staring into the center of the sun while I'm trying to get work done

[@xjcl6469]

It’s mostly for working in a bright environment, either in sunlight or bright office. Also good for HDR. The main thing is that if ur screen is too bright u can turn it down but if ur screen is too dim u can’t rly force it to make more light….

[@AshTzu]

@@xjcl6469 Right, it's good for a screen to be bright enough under certain circumstances. If that requires 1100 nits though it's probably a good idea to move location imo.

[@asmrnaturecat984]

having option is always good, a bright screen can be dim, but a dim screen cant be bright

[@halfstream1461]

Can you ask if they are going to have a X1 Fold Gen 2/3 released or are they moving away from that? Also any word on the P16 Gen 3 release date? I know they came out with the P16s Gen 3 but the regular P16 version is on my list. Because if all they have is a thinkpad without a trackpoint, that would be pretty disappointing. It looks nice but just make it a thinkbook, not a thinkpad.

[@HDRPC]

You are a super hero. Thanks a lot sir

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Happy to help

[@do8747]

Those laptops exceeded all my expactations, the only thing that I would love to see from Lenovo is --> boxy shaped design like a MacBook one. Are those numbers of Oled's brightness in terms of HDR, or SDR only? If so, is it Tandem Oled? Because those are really high numbers for a Oled sceen...Thanks for reviewing this laptops from Lenovo. Take care.

[@mariusgabrielciocarlan2447]

Hi, i can't wait to see your review at ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Me too!

[@Burbanana]

please ask for us why not all yogas and thinkpads have a haptic option

[@marktorpeyphx]

Andrew, Do you know if they will be refreshing the Legion 9i with mini LED?

[@feklee]

Yoga Book 9i I would buy in a heartbeat, if it came with at least 4TB of storage. Hope to see that in the next gen.

[@blueeyednick]

why no amd cpu?

[@ahmettarikyanik]

Probably soon

[@cameronbosch1213]

@@blueeyednick Intel probably did a 2000s Dell deal.

[@Yusufyusuf-lh3dw]

Pretty much everything is lunar Lake. I think Intel hit the jackpot with those.

[@Eliondez]

As I can see, all new Lenovo Legions has power port ON THE LEFT. I love ports on the back at most! If we are moving towards Asus Zephyrus series, then lets get rid of numpad as well, at least?

[@cameronbosch1213]

Still going to keep my Steam Deck OLED for the Touchpads alone.

[@thibaldus3]

I miss their e-ink laptops.

[@arnulforamirez4836]

i like the brightness of those oleds finally the rest better step up there game

[@vytrocorp6754]

thinkpad x9 have secured core pc,very good

[@vizagblues]

is the color of the thinkpad x9 black or dark grey? (looks dark grey to me),. ?

[@obsidianpanduh]

It looks like Space Grey. Similar color to the MacBooks. I just don’t understand why they’d want the laptop to look like the MacBook. Lenovo already make good keyboards to begin with.

[@vizagblues]

​@@obsidianpanduh yeah, macbook has black colors, i mean the Space Black atleast, that looks clean to a certain extent.

[@muhammadahsansaleem9536]

Hasn't Lenovo offered any AMD variant such as Ryzen 9 9955HX(3D)?

[@koreankorean5645]

Are there any 2 in 1 laptops you personally found interesting at CES?

[@norcalpacific]

I'm disappointed that haptic pads are still not becoming the norm on their new models. Or any brands really.... Just a few select laptops

[@arnulforamirez4836]

that legion is sweet

[@p.nandhukutty7331]

Lenovo nailed it this time for sure. Better than Dell laptops.

[@knabbagluon]

Yoga Book 9i finally. But why no lunar lake....god damn it.

[@atechcheck]

when I see "i" next to anything I run nowadays LOL :D

[@runningataltitude3361]

So no 16” Yoga 9I, bummer.

[@inamulbhuyan]

Snapdragon X ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@aeiedamo]

The ThinkPad X9's keyboard looks beautiful honestly. But the device target audience won't approve of its unrecognizable design.

[@ilkerkuseyri5193]

Lenovo yoga book 9i Duo 14 inç ❤

[@ahmettarikyanik]

Pro 7i design is INSANE. I am so glad i didn't get rtx4090 model. They should have made it 18" tho!

[@osee5919]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@matkeyboard8054]

pls lenovo make your amd chip as your flagship setting, its the era of red not blue anymore

[@katobrly9963]

Where are the new AMD processors?

[@JoJoHartt]

Awh no legion go 2 😢

[@mau915]

Very disappointed to see any Thinkpad without the Trackpoint, I always appreciate using it when one-handed without a mouse. Hopefully, this will be the only model to miss out on it, unless they reconsider. Other than that, I also don't see the appeal of making a super thin machine that then has a bulky block set underneath - I much prefer a flush design, which is also why I strongly dislike the bulky camera solution they've had in the last few models.

[@blueeyednick]

Lenovo missing out on a lot by excluding AMD cpus

[@cameronbosch1213]

@blueeyednick I agree. More waiting, I guess? Maybe Intel paid them and Acer?

[@owlmostdead9492]

You know what I want on my ThinkPad? A 99WH hot-swappable battery. You know what I don't want on my ThinkPad? Meaningless thinness with bad battery life.

[@boki3jaki]

Really no amd option so stupid on the legion

[@PInoyHenyoRito]

Pls be IPS Autopass if this is oled OLED = BURN IN BURN = LOW RESALE VALUE OLED =PWM PWM = eyestrain and headache Thank me later 😉

[@xenonmob]

seriously fuck this oled craze. automatic dealbreaker for me

[@dareemmanuel6079]

why do all these laptop makers think we don't need 64gb?

[@陈俊嘉-k1f]

Why use Halo 5 as backdrop for Legion go. It doesn't even run that game.

[@haorantao612]

The placement of the power button and the function keys on the right side of the keyboard on Yoga 9i 2-in-1 are the worst design ever!! It has been addressed by many users and reviewers for many years and Lenovo just don't care 💅

[@altamashparwaiz2097]

I feel they downgraded legion design. They dhould have kept rear ports

[@4dzxk332]

If these had the new AMD halo's it would have made more sense and they would have been perfect, too bad it's crpy intel

[@Burbanana]

also, are you getting ill again? Hope its not too bad this time lol

[@ithinkabout4369]

If you want to copy the MacBook, fine. Just invent a new brand for this. But sticking the ThinkPad name on there, just for the name recognition, is pointless. People who know the ThinkPad will hate this design, and people who don't know the ThinkPad won't care.

[@cameronbosch1213]

Exactly. Might as well buy a Framework laptop at that point.

[@grukoin2789]

I think you're overestimating how many people care about the trackpoint

[@ithinkabout4369]

@@grukoin2789 maybe, maybe not. The TrackPoint is not something the majority of people uses, but that is no reason to take it away from the people who do use it.

[@AhmadQ.81]

🙄 Nothinng interested in for this year. Let's see what Asus has for 2025 and HP as well.

[@nameless_stranger]

Why are the new legions so ugly? 😭

[@Yusufyusuf-lh3dw]

As usual 😂

[@amaycalv]

These Lenovo models starting in 2025 look very interesting, they are looking for innovation and perhaps acceptance with changes to the ThinkPad X9 model on the market, we hope they reach your hands Andrew for review and analysis in real daily use, as well as the other models, greetings

[@SteveRunciman]

NOBODY does CES like AMD.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks!

[@dch2896]

Big mistake getting rid of the iconic track point. Not much use for it these days but I'm sure the diehard fans will still want it. In my opinion, it was what defined IBM and now Lenovo. Getting rid of the track point is like getting rid of your logo/branding.

[@itdon8302]

I can do 32GB of memory anymore. Currently using 30 GB, 64Gb is a must on these workstation. Intel need to change that ASAP
