This channel has been my first choice to review new laptops (and some other devices) for 15 years now.
Thank you Lisa! 🙌

this channel stayed authentic. no click bait, to the point, no awkward comedy
(youtubers tend to forget that the product review is the content, not their awkward silly humor)

I am not a fan of Gen 9. I rather get the Gen 8. Reason and huge point for me. The garage for the pen. Chances are too high to lose the pen, only attached via magnet. That always set Lenovo apart from other competitors, to have the pen secured and out of sight! Great review as always.

Removing the pen slot so that the pen has to live outside of the laptop is absolutely stupid as well, I hardly ever use the pen, but I do use it every month or so to sign a document or something online. Why should I have to carry this bloody pen around in my backpack for the tiny amount of time that I use it, it was a great design with it sitting inside the laptop, what a stupid design flaw now

Looooving the new 'do Lisa!
As always I keep going back to your page for trusted reviews.

Having the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6, it's really awesome to see that the line is still going and still evolving. I do agree that the name change is better, since calling mine a Yoga has caused some confusion in the past. But it's been a great device (even if the 4K panel with Intel i7 11 series processor can put a strain on the battery). It's also great to see they now offer the trackpad without the physical buttons as well, increasing the size of that is a big plus.

Thanks for the great review, Lisa. At least I can scratch my X1 Yogas off the list for good now. People who buy 2-in-1s like to use pens. With the silo gone and no pen around with a clip to properly carry it in a pocket, there's simply no reason to enforce that behavior by sending money to Lenovo.

The pen may have been tiny, but it was always just there when you needed it without being afraid of losing it. We all know what magnetically attached means: it'll be gone in a hot minute if you don't constantly keep an eye on it. It can't be that they needed more room, there is still plenty of dead space around the battery, where they could have easily put a 60 Wh model.

I got mine last week. Lovely laptop but I do not love the thing at the top of the monitor. The pen is a massive improvement. The keyboard is great but felt a bit different from the previous generation. I got the mat IPS monitor, and it was great. One question Lenovo, why no USB c on the right hand side?

[SarmadJari]

I love the Gen 6 that I currently use, the absence of the pen stored inside the laptop itself is a deal braker for me, I do not want to lose the pen!

[treimartin]

What is with the trend of putting the only two USB-C ports on the same side of the chassis?

[flexo]

A dedicated place for the pen inside the laptop was such a big advantage, it looks like they are doing everything for people to stop using the pen for this device. It just makes no sense. They had a feature that was allowing them to stand out and now they are pretty much like any other 2-in-1 device with no dedicated place/garage for the pen. Yeah bad times. Unfortunately 2-in-1 devices from Lenovo are not getting better from year to year. I'm still using my old Thinkpad S1 Yoga from time to time (as my second device) when brainstorming / writing down ideas/sketches and it feels so much better compared to X1 Yoga 5th gen, yeah the pen tip position accuracy is not as good as on new Yogas but apart from that it is a much better experience when using a pen, I even found myself thinking that I like it better than apple pencil (apple pencil might be better for drawing but definitely not for writing down notes/ideas quickly).

More curious on the thermals. For the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, it was a thermal mess. I frequently get heat burns on the arm rest/body and it only performs ok-ish with 3 hours of battery life under full brightness.
The Type C port is very fragile, and the hinge will get wobbly after a few weeks of use...

Another great video review. Thanks, Lisa. Could you start informing us about webcam quality or security features when you do laptop videos? That would be super helpful. Thanks.

[PaulSpades]

Ohhh, Lisa. I trust your opinions more than every other reviewer on youtube. If there's some wiggle room in the editorial direction, I think we're all ok with sponsored content.
