What's going on, guys?
It is Bernardo and you just saw a quick unboxing on Lenovo's
ThinkPad Z13 generation one laptop.
So what comes inside the box?
You get this nice little smart feature pamphlet.
You have your safety and warranty guide right here.
You have your recovery media pamphlet
awesome for Windows 11 pro.
Then you have your ThinkPad Z13 generation one setup guide.
Pretty simple. Awesome.
You have your power cable
and then you have your 65 watt
power adapter with a type-c connection.
Now I'm going to take the power adapter and the power cable
and I'm going to hook it up.
Awesome.
And lets put this stuff to the side.
Then last but not least, we have the Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 generation
one laptop weighing around 2.7 pounds
with a thickness of 0.63.
This thing is beautiful.
Okay, so for ports and features on the Z13 generation one laptop.
If you have the laptop facing you to the point that you're able
to open it up like this on your right hand side, you have your headphone/mic audio
combo jack, you have your power button as well as a type-c connection.
On your left hand
side, you only have one type-c which allows you to hook up your power.
All right, so it's time for us to turn this guy on.
So let's open this guy up real slow.
I'm going to use the notch with one thumb.
It's pretty easy to open it up.
Look at that.
How beautiful. 13.3.
Beautiful.
Again, the power button is
located on your right hand side, so we're going to press this guy on.
Awesome.
One of things I do not like about the Z 13 off the bat when I was testing it
out is the boot time it takes forever to load up.
Now there are several ways to log in
to the Z 13 generation one laptop.
You're able to take advantage of the full HD using Windows Hello.
Which right now it's looking for me.
And you are able
to use the fingerprint scanner which is actually located right here.
I'm going to try to log in to the machine using my finger,
sometimes it actually works and sometimes it doesn't.
Right now it's not recognizing it.
All right.
So let's take a closer look on the ThinkPad Z 13 generation one laptop.
Let's talk about the trackpad.
Now, the trackpad is a haptic glass trackpad
with integrated navigational buttons.
At first when I was touching it, the first thing that came in my mind
was the MacBook and the way that their trackpads actually feel and look.
Now the measurement on this trackpad is pretty large
with a measurement of 4.73 inches.
Now, normally I was using a Type-C adapter,
I hooked up my Type-C adapter and I was just using a USB mouse.
I wasn't too comfortable using the trackpad because I felt like
it was really sensitive.
But eventually when I got used to it, I was using it a lot more.
Now the keyboard in the Z 13 generation one was super responsive.
I really enjoyed using it.
I didn't have any issues at all for the key measurement between each key.
I got around 0.07 inches.
You do have the signature ThinkPad Trackpoint right there
between the G and H key.
Now the keyboard on the Z 13 generation one laptop is backlit
with the following settings.
It's not too bright, but it is there for you to use.
And for speakers on the Z 13, they're actually located
right here at the bottom, on your left, and on your right hand side.
Now the loudness that I got only speakers is around 89.2 decibels,
which is pretty solid, especially if you have the laptop on a hard surface,
the sound is going to bounce off
and just hit you right in the face with some good quality audio.
Now for the display on the Z 13 generation one.
It has a resolution of 1920 by 1200
with a measurement of 13.3 IPS display.
Now this guy is touch screen, which I did not use as much,
but it is there for you to use now if you want to know the brightness level,
the brightness level right now, I think this is the highest and
this is the lowest that you could go on the Z 13 if you want to know,
the NIT level is around 400 on this particular display.
The display is HDR enabled but within the windows setting.
So most likely make sure you have it plugged in with the power adapter
and you can only stream HDR on this particular laptop.
Now at the top of the 13.3 display, you're going to get this notch.
And this notch right here is housing Full HD
1080p webcam, which is really great.
I actually got some footage, raw footage using the webcam as well as taking
advantage of the built in dual mics that are located at the top of the notch.
So let's take a look at that.
All right.
So we are testing out the webcam, the integrated webcam built on the Z 13.
This guy is a full HD with a resolution of 1920 by 1080
with the F stop a 1.2
and it looks really sharp raw footage.
I'm also using the built in mics,
which is on top of the notch
where you know where the webcam is located.
And I'm really liking the way it looks pretty decent.
I feel like the webcam has like a wide angle view because I'm able to like
step right here and you're able to see like everything.
Like wow, that's crazy.
I feel like Lenovo really stepped up
their game with this particular laptop and the webcam.
1080p that's awesome.
Now one thing I did
notice on the Z 13 generation one, it does not have a privacy guard.
It doesn't really have one of those physical things like a think
shutter to close it, but it does have a E shutter.
So if you press F9 on the keyboard,
this is how you turn it off.
Really, really weird.
So if I turn on right now, if I go to start in, let's locate the camera.
It's going to actually say it's off.
If I do F9 again, it turns it back on.
Hey, guys, and let's press it again.
That's your E shutter.
All right, so we just went over the trackpad.
We went over the keyboard and the display and the webcam
on the Z 13 generation one laptop from Lenovo.
So let's talk about the performance.
So I am actually going to right click on the taskbar and let's
go into task manager and within Task Manager , let's open it up a little bit.
Awesome.
We're going to go inside the performance tab
and let's go to CPU, going to right click on the.
CPU change graph to logical processor
and this guy is actually running the AMD Ryzen seven pro
6850 U with the Radeon graphics processor.
Now the base clock speed is 2.70 gigahertz with one socket,
eight cores, 16 logical processors.
This guy is a beast.
CPU power has it right there, which is awesome.
Now, for memory is actually housing 16 gigs, which works really well,
if you're working with multiple programs at the same time.
For hard drive space, you have a solid state drive, which is around 512 gigs.
I think the max that you could get is around one terabyte.
Now for the graphics card, it only has the AMD Radeon TM graphics.
It's not really high end like a really gaming graphics.
And talking about gaming, I actually game with this laptop playing Fortnite
and with or without the power supply,
it was extremely laggy.
It was to the point that I was losing a lot
when I was playing with my son, playing Fortnite.
And it was just a bad, bad experience.
The way that I played with this laptop, I hooked up my Type-C adapter, hooked up
my USB controller, and I played that way, but it was horrible.
Now for video editing, I did do some Photoshop and some Adobe Premiere on it.
I did notice a little bit of lag.
I actually took some advice from someone left a comment on one of my videos
and they said, Why you don't do puget system testing?
And I did do that with Premiere.
I did After Effects, and I think with After Effects it actually crashed
and I did some Photoshop and the numbers, the scores was horrible.
Now for heating on the Z 13, I did notice a lot of heating around this area.
And the reason why is because there's a vent between the display
and the keyboard as well as the air vents at the bottom of it.
Now, the highest temperature
reading that I got was about 111 degrees, which is pretty hot.
And like I mentioned before, one of the things that I did
notice that I did not like about this machine was the boot time.
By pressing that power button,
you would think it will load up quickly with the solid state drive.
But it wasn't it was pretty slow as well as turning it off.
All right.
So let's talk about the battery life on the Z 13 generation one.
So let's close task manager.
And let me tell you, I was super surprised on this particular
ThinkPad out all the thinkpads that I did review for you guys.
This one is the best with the battery life.
So as always, I like to use PCMark 10 to do my battery life.
And the first one was about modern office battery,
and it took around 12 hours and 11 minutes.
Now, the second test I typically do is video battery
life again, another 12 hour, 43 minutes, 12 hours.
Seriously, this guy actually last around 12 hours.
And the last test was all about gaming without the power supply.
3 hours and 14 minutes.
It all depends on what type of gaming you're doing.
But when I was playing Fortnite with my son, it last between, I would say 2 hours.
But the battery on this particular machine is a beast.
One of the best battery lives on the ThinkPad line up.
Awesome.
All right, so let's conclude our review on the ThinkPad
Z 13 generation one laptop.
Now, this guy is amazing, but the price tag is pretty expensive.
Retailing at $1355, and it all depends on how you get it configured
because they do come with different models on the display as well as you want
to bump up the hard drive and the memory, it will get kind of expensive.
Now, overall experience on this machine, I really loved it.
I enjoyed using it.
It's a lightweight machine weighing around 2.7 purnds.
I'm able to take it anywhere.
Plus the size 13.3 inches is not that bad.
One of the things I do not like about this laptop is the boot time,
which I mentioned a couple of times during the video, as well as the lack of ports.
It only has two ports, two type-c ports,
I mean two type-c ports that are extremely fast.
But that means I have to carry an additional device,
which is that Type-C adapter which allows me to hook up USB drives
or I'm able to hook up an Ethernet and go hard wired on this
if I do not want to use the wireless and that's it.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed this review on Lenovo's ThinkPad
Z 13 generation one laptop and I catch you guys on the next one.
Peace out.
