Lenovo ThinkPad X280 Review | Is Being Thin and Ultralight Worth Getting?

[@stevenpercy5223]

Using coins as a measurement device is useless for international viewers.

[@Scuffedalex]

Centimetres are a myth over there

[@PippeML]

Use the metric system, period.

[@elliotta.7761]

I am buying this Thinkpad x280 in 2024 and would like to experience if indeed it’s really that AWESOME!

[@FromHJH]

lol first 20 second has no audio i though the video is broken

[@rafapokrzeptowicz130]

It is NOT made of the PC/ABS. Top cover is GFRP or CFRP (screen type dependant) while the rest of it is made of aluminium/magnesium alloy. Awesome, is it not?

[@ghost-4230]

When you were unboxing it I thought my phone was on mute so I turned it up really loud. Then you started talking in the next scene and it scared the heck out of me. xD I feel dumb now. Anyways GREAT video

[@Dianasena27]

That happens to me too..

[@PippeML]

Same here!

[@PippeML]

Is 2024; and I just got this for $148 USD from ebay (no charger, but i have a 65w usb C, so thats ok) This will be my "travel laptop" 🎉 Im more than happy with my choice.

[@n.w.aicecube5713]

I ordered one, it comes tomorrow. Great review

[@archygrey9093]

I like the touchscreens on laptops because you can put the laptop down on your chest while lying down and swipe through videos on KZbin or anything else that require much typing, having to use the keyboard or touch pad in that situation gives me cramped hands.

[@edloki3057]

We tried to deploy a few these to our employees. Management changed their mind about it -- no bridge battery. We'll be going with the T480 instead.

[@deadblast2340]

how is the T480 so far ?

[@edloki3057]

@@deadblast2340 So far -- employees who switched from the x280 to the t480 like the T480 better. It comes down to how they use it. If the battery is running low they don't have to plug in, they just swap batteries. Good for the folks who work mostly away from their desks. The x280s we have are loved by folks who don't work too much away from their desks.

[@youp1tralala]

Well done review, and nicely shot!

[@bjtechnewshd]

Thank you I appreciate the feedback.

[@pasteltiara]

Fair review. Would it make much difference to usable hours if the screen was not a touch version? Could one get about 7 hours or more?

[@privateunkown6998]

Is the i7 model better with 16gb of RAM and will it play some what older games

[@NoahsFamilyReviews]

Thank you for the information we are editing of our phone for my sons KZbin channel we are trying to get into a window laptop it's hard to choose the best laptop on a budget ! Have any advice

[@spera438]

Why do they still keep the bloody 16:9 aspect ratio on these types of laptop.

[@HamphreyJnr]

If only the bezels could be thinner

[@christianpolytechnique7404]

This makes a great business laptop,for video editing I stick to the mac.

[@richardsukmawan8920]

Does the model with IR Camera will not have fingerprint reader?

[@DmnkRocks]

the FN Ctrl Key swap can be made in BIOS (for a long time) Vantage has this in a while - but i don't like it a bit (Updates work way faster on Lenovo System Update). Also Touch on a Laptop is popular, but i can't stand it from a productivity standpoint, and would not spend a single Cent for it. - also X280

[@bjtechnewshd]

true with the hard configuration within BIOS. and I was surprise with the performance of the x280. I would get this for an upgrade from my macbook air.

[@irviantantohaditomo8917]

Well done and good job.

[@besc0bar]

quality review

[@MrAntocx]

Swipe fingerprint? U think its not swipe. It touch..

[@simonray4713]

How about degrading to x270?

[@corsinivideos]

2012 called wants its bezels back. Amazing that $300 laptops now have full 1920x1080 IPS displays but somehow lenovo cant manage it at a decent price.

[@ghost-4230]

On the MacBook you can charge your computer with any of the usb c’s. Can you do that with this computer?

[@elliotta.7761]

Yes, you definitely can charge the x280 thru USB-C!

[@siricortana9550]

Can the USB-C port beside the dock be used with regular USB-C cable or do I need a dock?

[@elliotta.7761]

Yes, you definitely can regularly use the USB-C port!

[@eppietimisela7118]

Hi, which editing program are you using?

[@bjtechnewshd]

during my testing on this machine i was able to use Premiere, Resolve and Camstaia as my video editing software.

[@eppietimisela7118]

@@bjtechnewshd Thanks bro, is this a paid editing program? Need a good edting program for my own channel.

[@mzamroni]

the dual channel memory makes the gpu faster

[@kirankumar7596]

Does it have back light keyboard

[@nerone1984]

YES, backlight keyboard can be activated by control+space, i have the i7 8650U non touch 16gb ram, refurbished.

[@JaiK10]

why the hell does he use american coins as his measurements

[@user-bw5pn4qv9i]

Because he is American?

[@mm1nt]

OMG comment #1 thought i muted my pc lol

[@bjtechnewshd]

Lol - it’s a surprise type video. Surprise! Your audio works.

[@cucumberflavoredorcas8761]

My school requires me to buy this lol

[@datdang9113]

they require you to pay $1000 for this laptop?

[@cucumberflavoredorcas8761]

@@datdang9113 yea

[@dailybantam]

Sorry for the late reply, why did your school make you purchase this laptop specifically? And if you’re still using it, how has it held up after 2 years?

[@cucumberflavoredorcas8761]

@@dailybantam Well I stopped using it around a year ago because overtime there were a lot of problems with it, although it says that its hard to break, the laptop's screen overtime has started to have black spots on it. The specs of this laptop is not good enough considering the price. So I wouldn't suggest buying it for long terms

[@TheHakaseOne]

It's an ultraportable laptop, what do you need more than 16GB of RAM for?

[@bjtechnewshd]

You can never have enough RAM and CPU power.

[@mzamroni]

i was sales engineer. 16 gb was barely enough to run multiple virtual machines as part of a demo setup.

[@dormamo6917]

What i did to lower the temp and increase battery is to undervolt my thinkpad e470 -0.100v is the sweet spot for e470.

[@JrtheMAHiD]

haw fresh ram

[@a4aLien]

Cmon man..

[@davejones1959]

I guess this dude doesn't own a tape measure.

[@bjtechnewshd]

not part of the KZbin budget 😂

No Ethernet port = No buy ! I dont want to use a dongle.

[@zungnguyen5300]

actually I used dongle with 3 usb A ports expansion and it is great

[@JohnDoe-zd4rl]

[@stage666]

Look at that disgusting thick bezzel... My thinkpad x61s from 13 years ago looks so much better. WTF is wrong with lenovo...

[@JohnDoe-zd4rl]

No one cares about bezels?

[@JohnDoe-zd4rl]

Lmao performance and build quality matters
