hey Melissa what do we got here what we have here today is the Lenovo ThinkPad
x1 yoga third generation laptop nice so this is a laptop with one of Intel's new
eighth generation core mobile CPUs it has it's a quad-core CPU so you're going
to get a lot more speed than all the dual cores that we used to have to
suffer with and I want everyone to know this is an authentic unboxing that the
Lenovo tape fox is real has yet to be breached yet to be breached
alright I don't want to hear about it on YouTube so here we go miss my satisfying
cut look look this is authentic struggle I mean underlying basic struggle to open
up this box alright here we go now you know gaming laptops usually expect like
lights and speakers I'm not expecting that it's got more branding than I
thought it wouldn't say the truth sorry Lenovo here we go no it's not upside
down anymore alright so here it is let's let's see what's in the box another
sticker just in case you forgot that you have an x1 a little manual we're never
gonna read oh but it says welcome mmm Lenovo design is about creating a
powerful and synergistic relationship between form and function hmm Adam did
you thoughtfully created user experience I had no idea
renowned engineering don't ever up ok wait sorry so now we open the portals oh
look at that lift up I love it when they lift up so cool it's a little like you
can't tell when it's in the shroud so we're gonna take it out of its shroud
and do that again ok now this is what's really supposed to
happen okay you close it
yeah you know I've never seen that in a gaming laptop that was actually pretty
cool all right so here we have the ThinkPad x1 yoga the reason it's called
the yoga is because this feels like metal to me actually no this might be
carbon fiber or something it is because it has a 360 degree hinge nice look at
that tablet status yeah tablet status and something that is really hard to
show in a video but I need to tell you about cuz it's so cool does it see this
keyboard mm-hmm so here it is as a regular keyboard you know as a clamshell
you it's got travel and everything when I put it into tablet mode mm-hmm it's
really hard to see but the keyboard has gone flat what and the keys don't move
well I'm pressing and they're not moving and that's so that people don't have to
worry about once we happen to make keyboard when I use it as a tablet
you're not accidentally pressing it as you're using it in this direction that's
actually pretty cool this is the kind of detail that you get in a think pad that
you wouldn't get in a regular consumer laptop which is why we were really
excited when Lenovo said they were actually going to sell this to normal
people like it's not just you have to have an enterprise and buy 200 this
laptop actually starts at the price of one thousand four hundred eighty four
dollars and ten cents and since you don't skimp in the ten cents which isn't
bad for some of the features that I'm going to show you
yeah but real quick what's this some people might be like alright I'm
actually right now spacing in the official name this is the little track
point it's it's a track point that people can use to Mouse around the
display it's like I call it the nub yeah it looks like an eraser nub and you just
put your finger on it and it actually moves you know all the way around and up
and down do you prefer the number of the trek that you know I did grow up with
the nub and I'm very comfortable with it I and Lenovo is very honest that they
keep it because people expect it to be on the ThinkPad now that track pads have
gotten a lot better and have the buttons it's not necessary the way it used to be
I mean they put this out trackpads still had a little ball that
you had to roll to get around okay I'm totally dating myself now but it was a
little more awkward and this was a better alternative and it saved space
and that's the other thing when older laptops they needed more space for other
things but yeah this is this is a lenovo tradition and every time they try and
take it away people get upset let's let's compare this to 20 year old x1
carbons to see how it's evolved this is my old scratched up battered ThinkPad x1
carbon this is not a 360 degree laptop it's just 180 I've had it for about four
years I love it this has a carbon fiber chassis so it's tough it has the
traditional Lenovo keyboard and the thumb pad it even has an old fingerprint
reader like the old swiping yeah well the old swipe kind and it has a webcam
at the top which as you can see is very aesthetically pleasing Lee covered with
a piece of scotch tape because I'm paranoid but one thing that's cool about
the new thing versus mine is that you have this little webcam up here and this
little switch you can close it that's cool and you know it's closed because it
goes red okay it's so branding yeah yeah but also just to let you know yeah it's
actually closed so you know I don't need scotch tape anymore if I get this one
it's pretty cool I mean it looks it looks a lot thinner so yeah I mean if we
put it next to each other I mean this is a little different because I don't think
this is all carbon fiber no it's not this is probably lumina more something
but if you just put them next to each other like this actually they look about
the same time they uh they kind of taper yeah you stack them on top
they both taper I mean with my USB dongle yeah yeah it definitely does look
a little thinner at its most thick point well you still get ports it's not just
how thin it is but also what's in there so my four-year-old laptop they had to
give a lot of room to things like the processor
the graphics because things you know things were bigger back then and what
you're getting with these new laptops is because they're able to make things
smaller there's more room in there and actually this laptop comes with a lot of
really cool options the one that we have here is a standard full HD 1920 by 1080
display which is probably fine Lenovo is not actually known for their display
technology but as an option on this laptop you can get a oh damn it's called
wqhd which is 2560 by 1440 HDR display HDR - well yeah so that's a really nice
upgrade to a laptop like this we're all living on these now that displays are
smaller it's nice to have that higher resolution of course when you have a
higher resolution everything gets smaller so think about that you may have
to increase the size of some of your icons but when you're I can tell you
working on some high-res laptops that we've had in the lab it is really hard
to go back to a standard 19 by 10 display it's just it's just dazzling so
what else do we have on here we have a new kind of fingerprint reader that's
you know an actual spot that you can put your finger on instead of one of those
swipey things I don't know if we looked at the ports on this side but we have
yeah full HDMI that's always a favorite and somewhere on here I guess it's on
the other side maybe you saw it before yeah - USB C is including Thunderbolt 3
which is really cool nice so we're it's the Ethernet though where's the Ethernet
no Ethernet there's no Ethernet um one thing I will say that you can't
necessarily see but I think I mentioned it before this complies with a bunch of
military spec requirements for durability including you know resistance
to dust and my favorite which is water-resistant so literally you can
pour just plain water on it don't try coffee orange juice you can sorry but
you can pour water on this and it'll just flow through and you might need to
let it dry a little bit but it's not gonna work your swings at the bottom
yeah I'm looking for the ports right now it's gotta be around here some
yeah cuz easily expose our speaker grills I don't know if it pours through
usually there is a hole I wonder where it is well they claim it's
water-resistant I just not sure where I wonder if it comes out somewhere around
here we're gonna have to put it to the test we are going to have to so let me
see what else I can tell you about this oh another thing that we can't show you
at the moment but we can tell you is that this laptop supports both Cortana
and Alexa so you can use voice commands for either platform with this laptop and
you know now that people are starting to do that in their homes you can
practically talk to your front door now you are seeing and Lenovo especially
they're being compatible with everything you they're compatible with Cortana
Alexa Google assistant they're they just wanted everyone to be able to use
everything with it it's supposed to have a 15 hour battery life which is insane
for an enterprise laptop and you know I can tell you for certain like my
four-year-old ThinkPad carbon you know I'm lucky if I can get four or five
hours out of it but that was typical for the time right that was not unusual
let's see I showed you the rise and fall keyboard oh okay there's one more thing
I need to show you if I can find it but I think maybe it's in here yeah we
didn't even finish going through the rest of the - exciting this has active
pens support so I'm just gonna see if I can find that that breaks not too big
well actually this is nice this is a 65 watt brick and this is small and light
oh I love that and as you can see it has a USB C port you can charge it through
USB C you don't have to have the extra Britt extra barrel charger ball thing
going on alright so I'm gonna look for the pen it's gotta be in here somewhere
here's all the oh look they have a little desk lot in that suite come on
where's the pen now supposedly I'm just gonna make sure it before I destroy the
box the pen is integrated oh here it is okay so this I can pretty sure to this
and I probably have to either push it oh here we go look at this it reminds me of
the Samsung exactly and Adam knows his Samsung's so this is the ThinkPad active
pen like the Samsung pen it's integrated
into the body so that you don't lose it which is a big issue with me also it
doesn't need a battery and so if this thing had any power in it and were
charged you would be able to you know write and draw and do input on this
screen with this little pen now oh you can see the battery contact right there
see isn't that cute yes so you know the thing with these pens like as I said I
really love to have the pen integrated so I don't have to worry about it
falling off the side which believe me happens in my handbag it doesn't mean
it's a smaller pen so you wouldn't necessarily want to write you know the
sequel to Moby Dick on this because your hand will get cramped but you know
definitely for sketching scribbling notes moving around the screen this will
be fine and of course the convenience of having it this small it even has two
little buttons here like I do want to say you know Samsung's pen is just a pen
and it works fine but they actually I'm really impressed that they put I guess
these are basically Mouser selection buttons here thanks so I don't know how
many levels of pressure it has so what kind of test are we gonna do for the
review on this well this is basically a mainstream business laptop so we'll be
running PC Mark 3dmark probably sky diver as well now this only has
integrated graphics so we're not expecting a lot out of it
graphics wise but we just want to see how it performs in in a range of tasks
like that and well obviously they say they have 15 hour battery life we're
going to test that with our video rundown test awesome cool well we'll
look forward to it thanks Lisa thanks
