Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Review

[@bummers]

As always, like your reviews, even the earlier ones. No fancy humour that does not add to the review or gimmicky stories. Just straight to the point tech reviews. Thank you! Oh and I noticed that occasionally, you would freeze mid sentence, like you are running out of swap space or something. haha

[@RonaldoFearsEboue]

Your into reminds me of the Sims for some reason.

The Surface VS The ThinkPad X1!, I see a smack down coming. A great video as always Lisa! :)

[@jeffkoe310]

definitely would like a smackdown with the Surface Pro!

[@reintgenrc]

Me too. I have never seen the X1 tablet in person, but from the vid it just seems less streamlined than the SP4. The pen holder on the X1 Tablet looks chintzy and I'm a tad on the fence that you can't angle the Lenovo 20 degrees [or so] like the SP4.

[@calden74]

I'm convinced, Surface Pro 4 is going up for sale, this is perhaps the best Windows Tablet I have ever seen.

[@PaceyPimp]

Can you please do a review on the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 its only $700 and it has M7 8GB of ram and keyboard/pen ?

[@Splackavellie85]

I dont see too much wrong with the price. A Surface Pro 4 with 256GB, 8GB RAM and Type Cover will cost you more. Granted, you get the more powerful i5 compared to the m5, but if you're deciding on design, ergonomics and other preferences, it's quite a nice alternative. Plus, the option for 4G and the added USB-C port are nice features.

[@claytonrob1982]

did lenovo halt production on this model? shows unavailable on their Web site

[@ahmadmdaud]

Hi Lisa always providing great stuff. Good job could you please compare it with surface pro 4

[@datlechi6646]

i would also expect to see that video too, i am trapped inside so many choices of detachables

[@Uelchito]

is the projector good

[@nightvision_887]

6:56 anyone know where to get that wedge under the tablet?

[@garethflynn5469]

I'd love to see a smack down between the Thinkpad X1 Tablet & the Surface Pro 4. Please could you briefly cover the differences in how reflective the screens are? I've seen a lot of remarks that the Thinkpad X1 Tablet is reflective to the point of being very distracting, even indoors.

[@HungLeWrites]

I actually prefer the form factor of the Helix-line with its standard keyboard. The Helix's Ultra Pro Keyboard has a hinge and battery (which are nice), but also has more weight and a larger footprint. The Helix 2 standard comfortably fits on a lap or small desks-the kind you'd find in lecture halls. The Surface line, X1 Tablet, and Samsung TabPro definitely need a larger desk than what I'll be using throughout my doctorate. Will there be a Helix-type keyboard for the X1 Tablet? The Helix keyboard has a decent mix of portability and functionality. Good keys due to the design/depth, and a more traditional laptop footprint that fits on any surface. And Windows tablets still have larger bezels than I'd need/want. I'm sure I could handle an LG Gram or Samsung Notebook-like bezel without any ergonomic concerns. Still though, I can't buy into this generation of devices. Does the X1 Tablet even support Thunderbolt 3? If I were to splurge on a laptop, I'd need something that could dock with an external GPU and replace my desktop. Looking forward to the day where I can carry around my tablet+keyboard all day for productivity, then dock it into a GPU+KB/mouse+screen for gaming and general use. If it were the same size as the TabPro and had an AMOLED display that didn't burn in, I might be even more glued to my screen than I already am.

Finally, reviews I can show to my non tech friends which they mostly understand. Fabulous work and thank you!

[@fotografm]

Nice review. Does it contain a cooling fan and how long doe sthe battery last ?

[@rutuparna]

I am a new subscriber on your channel and I absolutely love your videos 😍

[@mobiletechreview]

+Rutuparna Damle Welcome to our channel and thanks!

anyone can tell me what app is this one at 16:38 ??

[@frkzoid]

How is it to use on your lap?

[@kamikerby]

What mic are you using? Great sound.

[@patrickdee7365]

Hi Lisa, please review the Lenovo Miix 520 that is just came out now on Lenovo Canada. There aren t any rewiews on this Device yet.

[@CheeseJuggernaut]

Glad to see the thinkpad continues to add diversity to the tablet/laptop market.

[@carlosramirezfabian1256]

Can you post a link to the benchmark tests so I can run them on my own personal computer??

[@xochirifkahleah]

Lisa, do you know whether it's possible to use the X1 tablet's keyboard without attaching it to the tablet? I have an old neck injury and for ergonomics I sometimes put my laptop on a stand and a keyboard in my lap. Does the X1 tablet's keyboard also connect via Bluetooth? I guess I could always get a separate Bluetooth keyboard, but if the X1 tablet's native keyboard already has Bluetooth, that would be great.

[@KamikazeeNYC]

Can we see the surface and ThinkPad X1 comparison

[@yanglan2549]

Nice review! May I ask if there is a review for the new Thinkpad 13?

[@mobiletechreview]

+兰洋 The ThinkPad 13 review is coming. We have it in house for review.

[@DavidWilliams-wj4sc]

I'm so used to that keyboard, touchpad mouse keys, i want that keyboard for my desktop! I wonder if you could take those pins and convert them to USB.

[@hcornel88]

How about a comparison with the hp elite x2 1012 :-) ? they seem similar.

[@jayrollo1352]

Lisa could you please do a smack down of the thinkpad x1 yoga and the yoga 900. Please please please

[@LuKiSCraft]

Just bought a SP4 last week, I love it but I would definitely want to watch the smack-down between these two!

[@spitlim]

Lisa, can you do a review of the Huawei Matebook?

[@ThCrystalizingDragon]

Great review as always, Lisa! Could you help me decide on my next laptop, please. I have a main desktop to process larger programs but cannot notate or draw with it. I'm debating if I should get a tablet or laptop and specifically looking at Lenovo's X1 Tablet and X1 Yoga Laptop. I really like the idea that the both products are sturdy/robust and that the tablet can attach the 3D camera and projector. I would like a device for both home and work, to use MS Office Suite, and to draw, present, and network (Google or Skype/video meetings, etc.). Will you be reviewing the X1 tablet's 3D camera and projector? Any other advise?

[@floriansteinmetz5329]

Is there any possibility to write with the keyboard when it is separated from the screen? Would be very useful if you want to use it in combination with an external monitor.

[@methodsignature]

Thumbs up when starting video. Lisa always dishes quality reviews. Always.

[@MrHammer102]

Yes, Lisa we need a smack down between this and the Surface Pro 4. BTW another excellent review and professional as always..

[@dr.dineshrijhwani3730]

I want that smackdown between this and the surface 4 pro please!

[@winlati]

Will you review the Asus Transformer 3 Pro? I'm curious what kind of stylus they're using and how it stacks up compared to other convertibles.

[@broskong7907]

How can I replace its touch screen? because it was error itscreen. Thanks

[@sim9955]

Great review! Will that pen work in the Asus VivoTab Note 8?

[@thomasfisher1829]

You had me. Up until core m.

[@winniexox6598]

Thomas Fisher what’s wrong with core m because I honestly don’t know what that is

[@qas2644]

[@brubrushanghai]

Thanks Lisa. Would you be able to also review the HP elitebook folio G1? Thanks. Bruno

[@shankar1937]

Lisa, Lenovo site mentions that there is an option of adding a WWAN card to the module as an additional accessory (Snapdragon X7). Can you pls let me know if the tablet has an option to insert a SIM card (Nano or Micro) to get 3G or LTE service directly in addition to WiFi?

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

would be interesting to see if not having the Iris 540 option is a reason enough to go for the SP4. my impression is that the power throttle limit is more binding with the Iris 540, so you end up having quick burst of graphic power, but not say, for longer term use like rendering a video in Premiere.

[@leaphardotnet]

very nice review as always, could you add zbrush in your windows pen tablet tests? how much poligons it handle before it lag...

[@Praneethkancherla]

Hi Lisa, did you get your hands on new HP Spectre 13t?

[@eltonleung1387]

Hi, May I know where is this tablet made? China or Japan?

[@almizrahi9763]

How does the display and battery life compare to the Miix 700 and Surface Pro line?

[@safwanzahid1981]

Would Adobe CS6 suite or only photoshop or illustrator create lag issues ?

[@davidliao611]

please do a comparison with SP4. I received the X1 tablet for a week already. I mostly agreed with Lisa's review, but find myself preferring the quality, value, and design aesthetic of the SP4. However i've never owned the SP4, so i'm interested to see MTR'sr comparison of the 2! Maybe throw in Samsung Tab Pro S as well:P just to be more constructive with the comment, I agree with all the positive things the video had mentioned. Some bad things i found including where i've had couple incidents where the keyboard would not function after turning on the device, the device turned itself on while in the backpack causing the machine running warm to almost hot while in the backpack. I’m suspecting it might be because the power button is pressed while in the backpack, and Windows Hello is trying to scan the finger print. Also the built in WRITEit would randomly turn on even if i'm in the laptop mode.

[@JulianFinn]

Love to see a smackdown between these 2. I'm about to have my Surface Pro 4 swapped at work for one of these (we're a Lenovo shop) and I'd like to see your take on a side by side.

[@kentiangela]

Midway through the video....good to use when take it onboard? Too big for economy seats? Or biz class better ?;)

[@TheMule93x]

When I customize this on Lenovo's website, it shows that it does not come with the keyboard. It's an extra $140. Does anybody know if this is a different keyboard? I thought the one in the video comes with the system.

[@ian-jg9pv]

Hi there! I love the review. I have a few questions, though. Is it a good alternative for a drawing tablet for artists? Is there a cheaper alternative?

[@lostgleammedia]

this or the Surface for art work?

[@johnnickelp]

any drawing/ digital painting software useable with this? sketchbook pro perhaps?

[@elliotcarver6606]

What happend to the helix 2 no fans??

[@skraggybones]

Hey, great review. Love your channel. I was wondering though, if you are going to be reviewing the new dell venue 8 pro 5855? They seem to have addressed all the issues with the 5830.

[@avisha06]

Lisa... Thanks for another excellent review. Your product reviews really are on a level of their own... Please make a review of the dell latitude e7470... and a smackdown with the thinkpad t460s... pleaeeeaaaasssseee...

[@dominikcink3443]

Hello, I got this device as used and I wonder how do you acivate the back camera? All programms seem to onl recognize the front one, but never the back high res with a flash. Can anyone help? Thank in advance. I love this device!!!

[@karlib6465]

Hello Lisa, Which Lenovo tablet product would you recommend checking out for a heavier workload in photoshop? Thank you!

[@Coach_Baltazar]

Do you have a way of fixing the camera imaging drivers on the Lenovo ideapad miix 700 isk?

[@maximussquest8456]

Am looking into buying the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Gen3.Any ideas where I can order one.I need it very powerful and more storage space.I would really appreciate any help.

[@snowthugs]

based on your interaction which has the better response time waking up from Sleep mode when you drop down the keyboard. Surface Pro 4 or X1 tablet?

[@ramban3488]

Does this keyboard work with helix 2?

[@brain.trinity]

Please do a review of the HP Elite Spectre x2 !!

[@dons1643]

Lisa, does this have LTE Capability? I think the T470S has LTE Just wondering if this one does, since I'm looking to buy a new Thinkpad and considering all options.

[@dakotahorton6887]

Hi Lisa, I enjoyed your review. I am wondering: Can this tablet be software developer machine? Coding in java, php and using an IDE like Eclipse, and text editor such as Sublime Text and using web server like XAMPP? Thanks in advance.

[@colinchan790]

I love your videos! Can you also do a full review for the T460 too :)?

[@mezimm990]

Can the battery be replaced?

[@web3devjourney]

Which one is better, mac book air or this? Just for typing, browsing, multimedia

[@modelvidz4680]

Can i run any desktop apps on this?

[@mrbonzzai]

Still waiting for a 15 or 17 inch. And don't even tell me about weight cause I don't care even if it's up to 5.5 lbs.

[@GiveLove777]

+mrbonzzai Im also wondering why wacom wont build a 17 inch cintiq companion, 13 inch version is too small. The panasonic toughpad 4k was close but it has been discontinued and they havent updated it, it sucks that panasonic didnt see the potential.

[@mrbonzzai]

GiveLove777 I think wacom just doesn't have the engineering resources to put out so many computers. What I don't get is why none of the other laptop making companies don't get more behind a 15 or 17 inch surface pro or book like devices. People have to get work done!! Yeah the toughpad 4k pro was close. Very expensive, old processor, and short on battery life. I don't actually need 4k screen either. The standard version has been updated, but doesn't meet my specs requirements.

[@Splackavellie85]

+mrbonzzai You could always buy the 15" Modbook: i7 quad core 16GB RAM 512GB SSD AMD R9 2880x1800 IPS screen active Wacom Digitizer runs both OS X El Capitan and Windows 10 natively it'll cost you about $4000 though

[@mrbonzzai]

Lesley Harrys I didn't know about the newest modbook pro x. Thanks for the heads up. Quite expensive though.

[@Splackavellie85]

mrbonzzai No problem. The next best thing is the Vaio Z Pro. No, if only I could get that running El Capitan. The Vaio Z Flip might be a good option for you. It's not a true tablet, and still only 13,3", but it's pretty powerful, has good integrated graphics and the pen performance is excellent.

[@IvanAtli]

Can you finally buy this?

[@dhanusha15]

hey, great videos! Would you recommend Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet or the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460? Thanks!

Why no 15.6 inch tablet??? :(

[@solomondaye9038]

is the keyboard as good as the X1 carbon ?

[@mobiletechreview]

+Solomon Daye In a smaller, lower travel sort of way it is. In other words, size compromises it a bit compared to the excellent Carbon keyboard, but it's fantastic given those limitations.

[@apfelschorle1988]

Next time you want to test the gitter use a (real) ruler. This shows it perfectly. But nice vid as always. Has the USB 3.1 Type C Port Thunderbolt 3 and can be used for a external GPU?

[@mobiletechreview]

+Apfel Schorle It does not have Thunderbolt 3, so no eGPU.

[@wshwe]

The price isn't that bad considering you get the keyboard and pen in the box. Of course these Core m CPUs can't compete performance wise with the i5 and i7 SP4 models. I will accept less performance in exchange for the absence of a fan. The combination of the modules and Type C port are interesting.

[@lenovovo]

Great review Lisa!!! :-)

[@FARFolomew]

I don't get why all the major companies are doing 2-in-1 with a flimsy keyboard. They're trying to copy the original Surface, but I think that's a flawed design and only came about because when the Surface first came out, they couldn't make the keyboard part of it thin enough to be a full blown clamshell base like a regular laptop. Now that the size is down, the clamshell-style base is where it's at (I'm talking about the Surface Book design). Have a Laptop when you need it, and detach it for Tablet use.

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

your reviews are particularly useful with Thinkpads, as contrary to Microsoft and say, HP and Dell, lenovo does not offer cost-free returns if you dont like the product, but have to pay I think 15%.

[@Ecirroh1]
