Lenovo Yoga 6 13"(13ALC6) Review - A Well Priced 2in1 Laptop

[@pollymolly]

Again, high quality review, I hope Lenovo and ASUS somehow pay you back, cause I'm sure after you review most of the TA become actual buyer!

[@JosephKim]

Haha, thank you :)

[@Itstwentwen]

I use uni products!!! I bought a very long usb c cable from them in 2020 and it still works. I lost my hub though. I’m so mad.

[@JosephKim]

@@Itstwentwen lol. I didn't loose them and using it now too!

[@nj_mlimi]

I thought your review was wrong until I realised that you reviewed the older 2021 model. It's very detailed and I would like to see an updated review of the 2022 model

[@JosephKim]

Haha, thank you! It seems that they have two 2022 models now. This is the older version revised for 2022. Confusing!

[@John__Rambo]

Yoga 6 13ALC7 is this the newer version name ?

[@John__Rambo]

Can u plz help me! I’m a bit confused on which one to choose Yoga 6 13ALC6 or Yoga 6 13ALC7 …. 🙏

[@shawnmurphy8941]

Hope the revised version changed the wifi module, because my yoga 6 has the worst wifi connectivity of any laptop I've ever had. They definitely did not have Wifi6 worked out with the 2021. Battery life after a year is also definitely degraded. After paying $1k for it, I was expecting a better product. Probably, overall, the worst laptop I've ever had. Had high hopes for it. It struggles with applications that it's specs should be able to handle, and blue screens on power plug removal intermittantly.

[@JosephKim]

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Joseph! I was thinking abot getting this because I work with research, which means a lot of reading. I'm always hopping between places so I wanted something light and flexible. I heard it has good battery life. The tablet mode would be more to read articles, watch documentaries. On the personal side, I think it would be good to watch movies and series on the go. would you think it's a good match?

[@JosephKim]

Yes! I prefer a small screen size closer to me for reading and content consumption.

[@NyaSF]

@@JosephKim thanks for replying! Just another question, you think a cheaper model like the ideapad flex 5 would serve just fine for having multiple programs open and tabs and documents without lagging (after a few months, for example).

[@JosephKim]

@@NyaSF I can't say as your workload will vary day to day, and I've not tested that model.

[@lalamarian4015]

Hello sir, great review. I wanted to ask if Lenovo precision pen 2 is compatible with this laptop? I tried searching it on their website but it’s really confusing😅 Thank you in advance

[@JosephKim]

It was really confusing for me too. I'd only use the one I tried.

[@patmalaan3526]

HI, i work at lenovo support, and as far as i know, all lenovo pens are supported, enven the one that are included in tablets

[@patmalaan3526]

But you'll need a bit of tweaking if you want full functioning pen, you should buy the one that are recommended for this laptop

[@alluringming]

Thining of getting a 2-in-1 tablet and lenovo usually my main choice when comes to gettng products. I only use my laptop for surfing web, watching videos, and chatting on discord. Occasional office programs but not too much.

[@JosephKim]

For that purpose, do you really need 2in1s?

[@alluringming]

@@JosephKim Probally not, i been buying a lot of items on amazon as of late. Which going to be reutrning. HAs habit going on shopping sprees

[@Ur_mylo]

The fact yoga is in the name

[@JosephKim]

Haha, yeah. It stuck since the version 1 :)

[@chaoscontrol3838]

Good review, thank you. Just curious why then sent the older, discontinued model since they've had the 16:10 screen ratio since 2021.

[@JosephKim]

This is the late 2022 version. I guess they moved onto 16:9 instead. As to why, I don't know!

[@chaoscontrol3838]

@@JosephKim Actually, they did go from 16:9 to 16:10 but kept older AMD processors inside for the most part. If you look at their website, you'll see only the 16:10 is offered now so this is definitely an older model. I only mention it because I've been trying to find a review of the 16:10 version to see if there's any difference in the battery life.

[@JosephKim]

@@chaoscontrol3838 I see. Their release date on this laptop was more recent than the 16:10 version. But your point make sense that it was just CPU refresh.

[@IceColdDarkness13]

Is it good as well for gaming? Not hard gaming, but some easy games, like monkey island. Also is it still worth it in 2024? Thank you.

[@JosephKim]

I wouldn't say it is really a gaming laptop. If you aren't looking for performance, I suppose you can.

[@zaineba.saadoon2951]

Hi What about heat for long time of continuous use, is is harmful, I mean how many hours can I use it without any fears of heat ? Thanks

[@JosephKim]

Unfortunately, that will depend on specific tasks you are running and the ambient temperature. It will be hard to determine that.

[@Slowdr]

Between this and the ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3, which one would you recommend?

[@JosephKim]

Unfortunately, I have not tried ThinkPad.

[@edlynnarag3435]

how to order of the accessories like external drive and compact charger

[@JosephKim]

Amazon! :)

[@sowndargillan9231]

Great review, thanks! Have you tried connecting it to an ultra wide monitor? Can the laptop output 3440*1440 to the monitor?

[@JosephKim]

I have not connected to it. I would think it can, but may struggle to keep up if you are doing a lot.

[@kitkatlolo]

Thanks for the video! How is the pen input quality? How is the pen charged? And do you think the 360 degree material will be robust in the long term? Thanks ;)

[@JosephKim]

I didn't have any problem with the pen other than it not really having a native way to attach to the laptop. You have to use the AAAA battery. The hinge felt good. But i didn't have a way to test it for a long time.

[@legendgurlz]

Between lenovo 6, hp envy x360 and msi summit evo 13..which one u suggest sir

[@JosephKim]

Lenovo 6 was the most recent, so it has its advantages in spec. But if I assume they are same spec, I liked MSI summit Evo the most. Although it is more expensive than Lenovo too.

[@cesarasdrubal8371]

Is the lap upgradable

[@motakapusravanthi3533]

Is it helpful for coding sir.....???

[@JosephKim]

If it isn't too power hungry.

[@mmalp3230]

Hi Joseph! I’m working with SketchUp for some time. I wanted to ask you what is the best desktop or laptop for SketchUp w/Vray for both Mac or PC. Mary Ann

[@JosephKim]

Hi, that's very broad question as there are thousands of laptops and desktops and everyone's project size is different.

[@mmalp3230]

That’s true. What would you recommend as best options for small-medium size projects?

[@JosephKim]

I'd say most of mid tier business/productivity machines will handle that well as you don't need much GPU performance.

[@SalisuKamaluddeen-bg8yp]

Can i use it 4 trading

[@JosephKim]

I suppose so? Does it require a lot of computing?

[@ericguqin]

wow the webcam looks horrible

[@JosephKim]

🤣

[@arccosinusopinion2323]

Only one request I have here. That is speaking more fluently e.g. without such long pauses between words

[@JosephKim]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@arccosinusopinion2323]

@@JosephKim other than that no complaints whatsoever. Although if your goal is language teaching and non-natives, perfectly fine then

[@andrewgallegos1194]

Hmmm I personally I found it soothing and made the drive to work fairly calm! This review was great! I guess to each their own??
