Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 - THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPTIC!

[@Best0fBritish]

What would be useful when you do the display test is to test how low the brightness goes. This is for business users who fly frequently and need granular brightness control for night flights. Loved the review, lots of gotchas going for the IPS model. The 64gb ram model and swapping out the disk for a 4/8Tb ssd seems the way to go. Great port selection. I do wonder what this would be like with an AMD strix point chip in it.

[@danerous8377]

Thank you for a great review! Think I'll be getting one of these 👍

[@marwanmuhammad5137]

great video! can you please make a video on the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 gen 7 and ThinkPad P16 gen 3

[@impulsesystems]

Thanks for the video. I like Lenovo hardware and have owned several. Lenovo always says they'll offer cellular models. I have never seen one offered for sale, on their site.

[@sanctusrimoradv]

The option is in the site for this particular model. However, I do not see an option for the wifi 7.

[@impulsesystems]

@@sanctusrimoradv Yes, I hadn't noticed that. $2200 though!

[@quadsis5569]

this is the perfect laptop. got the military tests so its actually durable compared to others, you can use it as an ipad and get your thing done quickly, i love it

[@yogeshsoni4798]

How is Asus zenbook duo compared to this one ? Please reply I m waiting for your reply

[@NgânEsa]

I would love to see if you have some test on how it's pen work on the screen. That will bring more info to me to whether I'll consider it with an Ipad or not. Tks anyway!

[@brianthornton5345]

Looks great, sounds good

[@yookavlogs]

Really Good review and appreciated I need your personal opinion b4 buying Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 2K or FHD have more battery life, comparatively how many hours difference General Use.

[@raduioanitescu6704]

6:00 - Nice 2 SSD slots!

[@mayureshs80]

Great video, the US version does not show 64GB memory option

[@geej214]

In order to get the 64GB memory upgrade, you have to upgrade to an Ultra 7 165U vPro processor. Choose the "Build Your Own" to configure it, and If you sign up for "Rakuten" you'll get a cash back discount. Also, I ordered mine with the Microsoft Start browser and received a huge eCoupon Savings. Prior to me adding Office 365 during configuration, the "eCoupon Savings" wasn't available.

[@mahursa6391]

I was impressed and i was considering buying one, untill i saw the performance and Geekbench results. It's premium but it's too weak comparing to other options, Px13, Specture, omnibook ultra flip, surface pro. It gives out much less power even comparing to cheaper Pz13. Being a 2 in 1 doesn't mean it should come with such a low performance. The px13 has the twice CPU power and a RTX 4050 with the same price.

[@windowsxp1]

great review! It would have been better for lenovo to use a core ultra 7 155h or a 165h instead of a U series one, but I get the cooling limitations.

[@LucasSiqueiradasi]

Please record a sample using the 8MP webcam!!!

[@jayb3494]

Hey Andrew. What is your opinion on the Acer swift 14 AI snapdragon X plus Laptop. The specs and battery are very good. Will there be a review anytime soon?

[@AlexanderIsDead]

Hi. I just placed this order for close to USD 2500 (India). Will arrive in a few weeks. Can I ask for your feedback on the color of the keys? The color seems pretty poor to me. I used an X1 Yoga Gen 6 in the past (4 years ago). It was also a Grey color lappy but the keys were fully grey with metallic feel, but the keys in the video look plasticky and without life. Is the look really bad in person?

[@TheKingsComingAlefTav]

It needs hardware level mic switches too

[@Arizal912]

I think they need to step up their QC. I got this a few months back. The keycaps felt a bit smaller than the X1 Carbon 12th gen. On mine, one of the keys wasn’t working, so I had to ask for a replacement. Unfortunately, the new one had a misaligned lid. I ended up getting a refund and bought the X1 Carbon 12th gen instead, which, luckily, turned out fine.

[@cezarras]

Can you compar thinkpad p16 max out with razor blade 16?

[@hastazacharia]

Im Curios, why Thinkpad X1 Series didn't have Amd version 🤔. (likewise elitebook 1040 and Latitude 9xxx)

[@RobertLindberg-cv3vj]

Ok so when will these 2 in 1’s get the lunar lake chip? And do they come in 15-16 inch? Is the Thinkpad X1 series more of a premium version than the Yoga series?

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Hopefully soon. I am waiting on Lenovo to send me the X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition.

[@RobertLindberg-cv3vj]

@@andrewmarcdavid Ah yes I have seen this one too. That will be interesting. Having been an Apple person since forever (the ipad pro 12.9 since 2018 as my daily) it’s fun to see all these options on the windows side. But a bit of a jungle with all the options. My favorite would be the yoga slim aura edition because of the 15.3 inch screen (hopefully with oled, but i remember you said the IPS screen was good) it doesnt have the numeric keypad which I like, i dont use that. But most of all I would love it as a full 2 in 1. Why oh why didnt they make it with a 360 hinge.

[@TheDevelopersNotebook]

Hey Andrew, any chance you could test your notebooks on Linux as well and perhaps comment if the performance varies a lot? Some of us use Linux on our notebooks! Not everyone enjoys the excess bloatware in Windows :D

[@linuxlesson]

I also interested in linux on this laptop, and also on hp x360.

[@berntlie6799]

Video -- slightly pale colors, somewhat pixelated. Good sound. Lots to like. Will they have a similar one based on the new AMD processor? (Z zeries?)

[@crazyelf1]

The Sensel seems like a big upgrade as far as the touchpad, which is a big deal for those who need to work without a mouse. I'd say overall the Sensel / OLED may be worth it if on sale.

[@devils13]

I'm right there with you. No Sensel = No buy.

[@hussaingadli]

Hey Andrew, can it be charged with a regular 65W USB C charger.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Yes

[@systemBuilder]

Are you sure this is gen9 and not gen12? I just tried to go the website through a gen9 link and Lenovo said "It is no longer available, try gen11 or gen12".

[@nft5646]

we need it with intel core ultra series 2 Lunar Lake

[@ilkerYT]

6:00 all those waisted space on the bottom that could have been used for a larger battery..

[@Deddily]

Or to house the pen

[@HaiLe-m3l]

everything is beautiful except the notch

[@jtouch99]

This X1 model is BADLY plagued by poor cooling. It gets very HOT to the touch, especially on the side with usb-C, HDMI ports. It becomes virtually unusable, and that is under very light load. I had to buy a cooling stand from Amazon to use this thing for extended priods on my desktop. I thought of returning it to Lenovo but I have since upgraded my SSD so not sure if i've not already invalidated the warranty. If you are looking for a cool-running laptop, I'd stay away from the X1 variants. I use a T14 at work and it doesn't get this problem.

[@rainerrain9689]

Your links don't even go to the 2in1 you're reviewing . Lenovo's website is so convoluted .

[@Noodles.FreeUkraine]

Guess my Gen 7 will just have to last a little bit longer. No pen silo or pen with a clip, no buy. Easy as that. It's one thing to avoid innovation, but removing features doesn't deserve rewards. They also never noticed that the notch sucks for tent mode. Obviously, it's only useful for traditional clamshell designs. But they just dgaf.

[@LucasMalik-fk6hc]

Got the anti-glare WUXGA version of this laptop, it feels slightly fuzzy the display.

[@AlBICIDI]

I'm currently typing this comment from the same laptop. It's the worst. I spent 2340 USD on this in India. Such a huge loss. I don't have the option to return it (we don't have that luxury in India). - The laptop feels quite cheap, - The touch display is not responsive, - The touchpad is not responsive enough either, - The pen is horrible in your hands and it drains rapidly even if you don't use, - The keys on the keypad have a change in color, they're light cement/ash in color and it's a negative experience. Even the feel of the keys is not that premium compared to the old black colored keys. The typing experience is probably the same though. - The screen flickers for no reasons. Icons disappear on the taskbard for no reason. - The fans turn on and make noise all the time. - The video viewing experience on this is horrible; so much so that I look forward to the ending of the videos (vs. enjoying the experience) This is 2880X1800 OLED laptop. When I requested them to issue me a refund (at least after taking a cut), they were rude and said I got what I asked for.

[@technician006]

Windows laptops feel cheap in general compared to Macbooks. I wish this weren't the case because Macs have lame OS and it's just not as good for Office software.

[@Manne4711]

I hate these OLED displays that seem to be used in every laptop now. They consume too much power and their longevity is limited. Not to mention burn-in. I don't want it.

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

Options. Options are important. After buying an OLED laptop, I'll never go back to LCD

[@TheTastefulThickness]

This should not be getting that hot to the touch with no GPU. Cooling remains a challenge for PC makers.

[@MihaiRavici]

Thank you for a great review! Think I'll be getting one of these
