[@DickGently]

“Pricing starts at $1699 which is pretty insane considering all the premium features this thing packs”. Except the base model has zero premium features aside from fast ram. So yeah… basic ips monitor, i5, integrated graphics, 16gb ram, 512gb storage for $1699 is pretty insane. Also sad.

[@christhe812]

Pretty sure you won't be able to get it with only integrated graphics.. Base model is 4050 right?

[@DickGently]

He’s got the configuration options up at at 9:41 and says Intel arc graphics or 4050 so I think base is just internal graphics?

[@_HugoQueiroz]

That's "the "this product was sent by Lenovo" catch. Like not mentioning that 49 DBis of noise on a 16' with an Ultra CPU is not great at all.

[@blondegirl7240]

Yeah, for this price we can get Legion Slim 7 with 4060-4070

[@DickGently]

@@blondegirl7240 Right? I get that it’s not a gaming laptop but a professional laptop that can game but the base model can’t even do that so you’re paying only for looks. But then why not get a vivobook? Might not quite have the Apple snob appeal but it still looks good and entirely appropriate for professional work. Also $1699 but for this model… Intel Core i9 13th Gen 13900H 1.9GHz Processor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 32GB DDR4 RAM 1TB Solid State Drive Microsoft Windows 11 Home SD 4.0 Card Reader 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E+Bluetooth 5.0 16" 3.2K OLED 120Hz Display Slower ram but twice as much. Twice the storage. The faster uhs-II card reader and drastically better specs and screen. Also the 99wh battery. Same price as the Lenovo base model that has basically zero of the features mentioned in this “overview”.

Great video, thanks. Following your link, it seems Lenovo is still offering both the Yoga and Slim, contrary to your comment they are dropping Slim.

How come your gaming noise levels are so different from Dave2D's results when you have the same laptop? A 10 dB difference is MASSIVE.

Maybe mic at head head-level vs right up to the laptop

[@nikolajavorina]

@@JoshCravesTech Even with that factored in, the gap is too large, as I said 10+ dB is a MASSIVE difference since it's a logarithmic scale. Dave2D said it was virtually silent while gaming, and 45-47 dB as stated in this video is quite audible.

I would double check Dave’s video since it was also sponsored.

[@JoshCravesTech]

@@nikolajavorina also another thing is maybe Dave didn’t let the fans fully kick in. I know the Legion Pro 7i’s I’ve tested will start off pretty quiet in their turbo profile for about 5 minutes, and then the fans will pulse up to 48-50 dB for a few and then back down and then back up, etc.

I'm nitpicking here, but isn't the contrast between the keys and the laptop too low, to the point where it's hard to see the keys? I know certain light grey colorways from ASUS are notorious for this, so was wondering if this Lenovo Yoga Pro might have the same issue.

@@quantumdot7393 Don't like numpads because they push the main keyboard off to the right which makes it harder to type on and it also looks ugly. As for the 4090, it's still going to be useful for those (like me) that need that extra VRAM for stuff like 3d modelling.
