- hello and welcome to hyper dog digital
- this is Scott today we’re gonna take a
- look at the Lenovo ThinkPad x1 yoga
- third generation this is a tuned one
- device primarily designed as a business
- device but can certainly be used as a
- very good home device as well it’s very
- thin not real heavy actually pretty
- light it has a knife slot nice soft
- touch the surface mostly plastic with
- just a little bit of metal here on the
- hinges it comes in this black here that
- you see as well as a silver variation
- and the cost for this starts at a little
- over 50 on our dollars and has several
- different configurations that can range
- from that $1500 up to around $2,400 just
- like the other think pads it’s been
- tested against 12 military grade
- certifications so it’s getting the focus
- there there you go
- it’s been tested against 12 military
- grade certification tests and over 200
- in house durability tests as usual I
- just take the novels word for that is I
- can’t really beat this guy up too much
- it did survive my daily use as well as
- being handed around between the kids and
- it came out without a scratch so that is
- a positive there as well let’s go ahead
- and take a look at the ports in the
- external configuration of the device so
- on the left side you have a couple of
- Thunderbolt ports here USB type-c ports
- and you this first port you use with the
- included charger here to charge the
- device you can’t use just a regular USB
- type-c cable and you’re in your phone
- charger that doesn’t work I tried it
- does not charge it at all but the good
- thing is is that while you are charging
- it you can plug a device into this port
- here and it will actually charge that
- device by itself so that is actually you
- know acts as a an external battery if
- you happen to need one there’s also the
- standard USB port as well move around to
- the right side you have your Kensington
- lock HDMI port standard USB it’s a mini
- rj45 your headphone jack power power
- button with a little indicator light on
- it
- and a built-in active pen pop this out
- real quick here so you can take a look
- at that and as you can see the pen
- itself has a couple of buttons here an
- ear tip and of course it charges while
- it’s docked again I love how they have
- these pens included and I love even more
- how they’re built in I sort of just
- included as a loose piece of hardware I
- really hate it when though and you just
- have one of those things just hanging
- around that you got to stick into a USB
- port or something like that I don’t I
- don’t like that so on the bottom you
- just have some venting here and you have
- a speaker’s on either side okay on the
- inside we have a large 14 inch IPS
- touchscreen there are a few different
- versions you can get included which I
- will touch on a bit later the webcam up
- here at the top also comes with a think
- shudder and I’ll show you if you
- actually can flip the switch here that
- actually blocks off that camera for a
- little bit of additional security there
- for you
- you have your standard touchpad down
- here a fingerprint reader and of course
- just your standard keyboard now the
- really cool thing about this keyboard is
- that it will actually pop out or recess
- into the body depending on the
- configuration you’re using the device
- for example in the standard lamp laptop
- configuration just the way it’s normally
- set up you can see that the keys are bit
- popped out from the body now if I were
- to flip this back over into tablet form
- you can see that those keys have dropped
- down into the body let’s see if I can
- kind of do that on camera a little bit
- for you so you can see it a little bit
- better you can see those keys pop up
- and as you close it on back they go down
- all right now of course those will go
- down also when you close it like this so
- that the keys are not popping up and and
- hitting the screen or anything like that
- I personally have not seen anything like
- that before and I think it’s very
- innovative and I just think it’s damn
- cool the keyboard is also of course
- backlit so that’s another bonus as well
- moving to the back I did discover
- something else that I thought was not so
- much innovative but just really a good
- use of space if you look back over here
- and we’ll get this up a little higher
- for you there’s a little lid you can pop
- off and you have a spot for your SIM
- card and your micro sd card it’s not
- very often you see the back with two one
- have anything on them let alone having
- some useful ports I thought it was just
- really really cool and just a smart use
- of space there so overall I like to
- design I love the extra touches that
- they’ve included I like to built an
- active pin the hidden ports on the back
- and of course the keyboard just some
- really innovative and smart designing so
- let’s go ahead and take a look at the
- specs okay so just like with most
- laptops you are often presented with a
- selection of configuration options to
- more suit what you’re looking for the x1
- yoga is no different the different
- configurations affect the processor the
- memory disk capacity camera options and
- so on so let’s just kind of run through
- what we got on this guy and you can pick
- out what you want when you end up buying
- it the processor options include up to
- 1/8 gen intel core i7 with v pro lower
- options include the i5 version windows
- 10 home or pro with pro being the
- recommended version as usual the
- graphics card is an integrated Intel u
- HD graphics 620 card so it’s certainly
- not a gaming machine but should be able
- to run most low to mid level games
- certainly check the requirements for
- your game beforehand up to 16 gig of ram
- with the lower end being 8 gig this
- capacity can go as high as one terabyte
- PC
- solid-state drive the camera is a 720p
- camera with think shutter you can
- upgrade your camera with an IR camera
- option which adds facial recognition but
- keep in mind if you do that you do lose
- to think shutter with that the battery
- is a 54 watt hour battery with rapid
- charge it should get you around fifteen
- point four hours on a normal usage the
- display does give you several different
- options all at 14 inches with a
- touchscreen now those different options
- include fully high-definition IPS with a
- resolution of 1920 by 1080 which is what
- I have on this guy here you also can get
- a wide quad high def or wqhd with a
- resolution of 2560 by 1440 or an HDR
- wide quad high def wqhd at the same
- resolution comes with Dolby audio
- premium and also comes with several
- security features including Fido or fast
- identity online dink shutter fingerprint
- reader facial recognition which is
- included with the IR camera black or
- silver for the colors
- we’ve already gone through all the ports
- Bluetooth 4.1 802 11 AC wireless
- capabilities weight is just over three
- pounds but really it feels like it’s a
- bit lighter than that that’s really
- about it that’s the standard specs for
- this guy right here
- okay now performance with this device is
- going to vary depending on what
- configuration you are working with the
- unit that I was provided had the i5
- processor eight gig of ram and the full
- high-definition screen that being said
- it performed brilliantly throughout my
- demo period I put this through my usual
- paces took it back and forth to work
- used it first standard business type
- work Word Excel outlook web browsing
- note-taking meetings etc installed a few
- different games such as minecraft and
- whatever and didn’t have any problems
- running anything I threw at it my kids
- were able to watch their movies and play
- YouTube and played all their games that
- they like to play just had lots of fun
- using it and they beat it up a little
- bit and it came out just fine I do wish
- I had one of the high end models to put
- it through a bit more and see how
- powerful you can really get these things
- but unfortunately this is this is what I
- got and it’s it’s still very good
- battery life was pretty much on par for
- what was advertised I had no problems
- getting in the 15 hour range and beyond
- with standard usage that range of course
- will vary depending on what you’re doing
- with it
- so certainly playing games or watching
- movies would decrease that to a certain
- extent I was very impressed with the
- rapid rapid charge function I had to
- install Windows updates at one point and
- realized I was down to one percent
- battery life so I plugged it in and that
- Windows run it’s ever so quick update
- process 20 minutes later I was already
- back up to 80% that was all while it
- restarted a couple of times turning away
- on updates so I was pretty impressed
- with that this screen is a very big I’m
- sorry even the screen is very big even
- with the bezels on the side here it
- could be a little bit smaller but really
- they’re not bad they do kind of
- disappear off you’re watching it for a
- while so I’m not really too upset about
- that the screen itself has bright colors
- look great I’d love to see what the the
- other screens would provide but again
- this is a this one is still very good
- cameras pretty standard for your 720p
- camera that’s included in a laptop
- device so really nothing above and
- beyond
- with this configuration alright so there
- you go that is the Lenovo ThinkPad x1
- yoga very saw device has a nice thin
- sleek look to it with a very smart
- innovative design it’s got a good weight
- to it something over into tablet mode I
- was able to easily use it for an
- extended amount of time without fatigue
- which is great compared to most two one
- devices most of them are little just a
- little too heavy to use in tablet mode
- for very long again this is primarily
- designed as a business device but would
- work very well as a home device plenty
- of power versatility and options to
- choose from and of course I love the
- added bells and whistles like the recess
- in keyboard and the built-in active pen
- this is probably my favorite laptop that
- Lenovo sent to me in a while and I would
- definitely pick it up as my first choice
- if I was looking to to get a laptop at
- the moment that’s it from hyper dog
