WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.860 companies sometimes do strange things when trying to appeal to Millennials 00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:08.540 like this right here because do you know what I really want on my laptop 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.719 leather wow who would have ever thought 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.220 this is a something that HP tried a little while ago and uh 00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:25.439 oh God damn it Lenovo you it up already ah so here's the problem 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.660 lenovo's new ThinkPad z13 fold has 00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:32.340 leather on the back but it's actually leather that's made out of plastic 00:00:29.099 --> 00:00:35.040 bottles hp's leather laptop had real cow 00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:39.780 on it and it smelled fantastic you took that thing out of the package and it was 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.899 like you had an old baseball glove just sitting on your desk you're like oh wow 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.879 hmm it smells really good unfortunately no 00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:53.280 cows died for this Lenovo what are you doing okay but in all seriousness though 00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:54.960 this is a very good feeling laptop and 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.920 also you don't have to get leather on the back this has an option where it's 00:00:56.699 --> 00:01:05.220 just you know normal laptop materials around the edge we have diamond cut 00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:08.280 edges these look fantastic very fancy 00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:11.820 but in like a nice way also uh IO is a 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:15.420 bit lacking so we have a USBC on this 00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:17.040 side and USBC on that side and we also 00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:22.920 have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack that's it that's all you get for Io both 00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:27.299 Thunderbolt 4 so that's actually not too bad I don't really mind dongling around 00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:31.500 I just Chuck something in my backpack and call it a day but at the same time 00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:38.759 it would be really nice to have just like anything else one more i o option 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:42.119 but how much power will it draw 00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:45.600 apparently 65 Watts from this little 00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:47.579 type c charger and props to Lenovo you 00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:52.740 do have charging options on either side of the laptop 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:54.840 oh yeah here we go this is an incredibly 00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:59.040 well-built machine like you can see some sort of flexing right here if I really 00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:04.979 push on it but this is the sort of like macro chassis flexing that is much more 00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:10.140 okay where like I'm pressing here the entire thing is yielding as opposed to 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:14.099 like there being soft spots so I am guessing that is going to be very good 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.980 for the keyboard we also have a nice large track pad and 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:24.840 very little space up here I really like to see that oh it's pretty borderline 00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:28.739 pretty borderline my hand barely fits on this and I want to really look at this 00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:32.400 fortunately a little while ago I made a spreadsheet so that I could tell Dell 00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:35.760 that their XPS 13 just didn't fit anyone's hands and they were dumb okay 00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:42.120 so I just measured it the Palm rest length on this is 128 millimeter which 00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:44.640 is between the Specter X360 and the XPS 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:50.760 13. this basically means that if you have larger hands you're gonna have a 00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:54.780 little bit of problem basically only 30 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:56.580 percent of males and uh 47 of females 00:02:54.780 --> 00:03:00.420 are going to be comfortable typing on this because otherwise your hand's gonna 00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:04.440 fall off the back buy this if you have small hands 00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:07.980 that's it if you have big hands don't buy it 00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:11.580 do you think that was worth it no you know what Jake I don't care that's good 00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:15.659 information just like this information from our sponsor I fix it thank you to 00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:19.560 iFixit for sponsoring today's video

00:03:45.599 means that this right here is the IPS touch screen this is not the best 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:52.799 display that is available on this they do have a Quad HD OLED Touch model that 00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:56.760 I'm sure is just absolute eye candy and maybe it makes your spreadsheets look 00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:01.739 kind of weird so you probably want this one but until I've actually seen it all 00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:05.040 that in person I can't say for sure what I can say for sure though is that the 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:09.780 most tuning out of the box on this thing is atrocious okay let's test this out I 00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:15.260 think we're good I lowered the sensitivity a little bit and turned off 00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:21.900 Windows enhanced pointer Precision stupid most acceleration crap 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.280 seems pretty good now okay okay I can get behind this so what's nice about 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:30.960 this trackpad is you can change how much force is required to click it how they 00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:36.120 do the clicks is instead of it like you know clicking a switch it measures the 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:40.199 force of your finger and so I was able to go in here change the click Force to 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:44.520 low and I much prefer that to medium because right now 00:04:41.580 --> 00:04:49.800 it just feels correct anyway what are the specs of this machine for the 00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.800 processor we have an AMD ryzen 7 6850u 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:56.639 so that's 8 cores 16 threads you also 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.860 get 16 gigabytes of oh 6400 megahertz 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.880 memory that is some fast RAM that also means there's absolutely no way that we 00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:07.800 can replace it because currently sodium tops out at 4 800 Mega transfers per 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.479 second anyway moving on to the SSD we have a 500 Gigabyte model from Micron 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:16.500 Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6E that's probably pretty good and of course AMD Radeon graphics 00:05:14.820 --> 00:05:21.540 everybody always talks about how to absolutely incredible ThinkPad keyboards 00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:27.180 are they definitely were lately depending on the model it can have a 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:31.620 little bit of variance on okay this is not what I was expecting at 00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:37.199 all from this keyboard I normally think of ThinkPad keyboards as like the really 00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:41.699 long travel it sort of feels like a big membrane keyboard but like somehow in a 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:48.300 good way this right here is different this has not very much travel but like a 00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:53.100 really nice kind of soft feeling snap also in the keyboard we have the very 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:57.300 famous track point right here now in the past I have been a huge fan of these not 00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:00.600 because of the track pointness of it but I haven't liked them because of what 00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:04.380 they did to the size of the trackpad itself so instead of having the two 00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:10.020 massive buttons up here that just take up all of your trackpad space we instead 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.220 have just a couple little Marks here so it's super easy to know when you're in 00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:18.840 the right spot have a little click and you can track Point around without 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:21.120 sacrificing all of the usable space of 00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:23.699 your trackpad I really appreciate how they've done it this way it's a really 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.380 good sort of trade-off between having a good 00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:32.819 track pad and having a good track point something that I don't think I've seen 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:37.380 before Lenovo made a big deal about their webcam and I say that because they 00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:43.860 actually laser engraved on the back they have a full HD F 1.2 and a digital mic 00:06:40.979 --> 00:06:49.199 array how is it in practice hello hello this is me talking into the ThinkPad z13 00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:54.539 while also recording video at the same time this looks pretty pretty darn good 00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:58.319 we do have some sort of weird graininess and blockiness but it really is not all 00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:03.120 that bad especially given how challenging the scene is it is exposing 00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:07.020 for my face very well and at the same time like you can sort of see some 00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:12.120 detail in our sound editing up here the blinds look like blinds instead of like 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.860 either blown out or underexposed now of 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:19.139 course we need to Benchmark this against the XPS 15. so you can really appreciate 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.699 just how good of a job Lenovo has done here oh we just have to wait a second my 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.039 uh XPS 15 has to come out of hibernation do you know why Windows modern standby 00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:33.000 it's complete Lenovo you should really go and talk to Microsoft and tell them 00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:37.139 that it is unacceptable and they are losing customers to Apple because it is 00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:41.039 so ass I have been complaining about it for so long it was it's been what like 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:46.139 three years something like that I'm gonna just get a Macbook it okay so 00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:51.180 they're both doing not too bad of a job but the Lenovo is just clearly a better 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:55.680 camera than the one on the Dell Dell is more blown out and more underexposed at 00:07:54.419 --> 00:08:01.919 the same time uh yeah good job Lenovo you did it this is me 00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:07.259 testing the sound on the Lenovo ThinkPad z13 versus the Dell XPS 13. if Lenovo 00:08:05.340 --> 00:08:13.259 does not win this one I will be very sad yep easy Lenovo wins cool good job 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:18.720 Lenovo claims that they have really good speakers on the z13 they have a Dolby 00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:24.479 Atmos certification let's see how that does 00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:26.759 okay immediately this is very clear 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:33.379 sound if you're doing like voice calls video calls this is going to be very 00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:33.379 good it doesn't have the base though 00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:38.490 not bad not bad that is very respectable 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.159 moving over 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:49.800 God damn it Dell stupid waves Max audio 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:56.540 keeps on turning itself on and it just makes the whole thing sound like poo poo 00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:56.540 there we go 00:09:00.680 --> 00:09:06.480 so unsurprisingly the XPS 15 does have 00:09:03.959 --> 00:09:10.800 the better speakers once you've disabled their stupid waves audio crap but that 00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:15.480 is not unsurprising at all this right here is a 15 inch laptop with big old 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.779 speakers here and this right here is where the heck even are they they have 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:22.100 some down firing ones right there oh I wonder if it sounds better without the mouse 00:09:24.140 --> 00:09:32.040 that didn't really help but that said for a laptop of this size that doesn't 00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:37.160 even have a facing speakers this has impressive sound I would be totally 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.160 happy with this 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.800 what restart required 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:45.959 for this mouse that was just at yes 00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:49.260 Windows I'm sure I'm gonna do that okay okay it looks like we're all good now 00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:52.860 that I have the Logitech mouse I was really concerned there for a second that 00:09:51.120 --> 00:10:00.620 like some of these business laptops will have brutal input latency on the display 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:04.880 and it'll make gaming just a jelloy mess 00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:07.800 and the menu at 1200p I'm getting a 00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:12.060 30-ish FPS so I think we need to knock that down a bit 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.959 oh wow the keyboard's getting hot kind of fast and above the keyboard is 00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:22.200 legitimately going to burn you so here we are at 1200p and we're getting about 00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:25.260 40 FPS which is not great this is low 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.140 settings uh it looks like ours but at 00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:32.820 the same time it's doing it I'm gonna just knock down the resolution bring up 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:39.300 the graphics a bit I think we can okay yeah you can't even run medium settings 00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:42.120 at 720p or I guess this is 800 P because 00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:47.100 it's 16 by 10 display so instead we're just going to run a full resolution at 00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:51.300 low this keyboard is getting hot fast 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:53.959 like really really fast so yeah it looks 00:10:51.300 --> 00:11:00.060 like our best bet is like 1200p we're getting 40 FPS on low if we 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:07.500 lower the resolution up to settings it's about the same but just a blurry mess 00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:10.620 okay so the tops back 6860 Zed also has 00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:11.940 a 12 GPU count so the performance is 00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:16.440 going to be about the same I was hoping that they have a stronger Apu model not 00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:20.100 a thing so if you are a gamer probably sit this one out but also the 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.600 performance isn't even what would make me sit this one out I'm just going to leave this here for a second I'll be 00:11:23.579 --> 00:11:31.620 back so we've been playing this for a while like three minutes maybe and already 00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:38.880 around the keyboard we're seeing what like up to 50 degrees like up here we're 00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:40.740 at like 45 or so the only thing that 00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:46.079 should be keeping you nice and hot is this beanie from lttstore.com your 00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:50.880 laptop should not be at 51 degrees especially after just three minutes not 00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:56.220 great this is one of those things that Apple has done very well with their M1 00:11:53.579 --> 00:12:00.480 and M2 chips is just keep your hands from getting literally burnt I was 00:11:58.380 --> 00:12:06.540 really hoping that they'd have some sort of a good mode so we have intelligent 00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:08.459 cooling which sure okay so I've turned 00:12:06.540 --> 00:12:13.680 off intelligent cooling or in best performance mode 00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:16.320 yeah we're still at 50 degrees I really 00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:21.180 wish that they had like a cool mode so for instance on the XPS here I always 00:12:19.260 --> 00:12:24.120 just leave it in cool mode because if I sit down with it on my lap I want to 00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:30.720 like be able to have children in the future I am really disappointed that they don't have like better cooling 00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:34.019 settings HP and Dell both have really good like do you want it quiet do you 00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:40.200 want it cool do you want a high performance there are trade-offs between all of those but I like having the 00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:45.060 option to like pick which one I want okay getting in there was super easy so 00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:48.839 we just have a five Phillips head screws all of them are captive so you can't 00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:54.300 even put them back in the wrong way and it just popped right off so they have 00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:55.800 their like Vapor chamber here it goes 00:12:54.300 --> 00:12:59.700 all the way down here but this like isn't even really touching anything all 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.720 right here it also says caution hot surface do not touch uh they should have 00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:07.620 that on the other side as well the only thing I would expect you to be able to 00:13:05.459 --> 00:13:14.399 upgrade on this is your Wi-Fi card and your SSD 00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:17.519 aha there we go so this is a strange SSD 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.980 so it's a 2450 so that's the 50 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:24.420 millimeter version which is not very standard I think 80 is the standard or 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:29.700 like if you have a small one it's 30 as for the rest we have two fans here with 00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:35.519 incredibly high fin density and a nice big old Vapor chamber for Apu right 00:13:31.800 --> 00:13:38.100 there we also get what is this a 51.5 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:43.680 watt hour battery so Lenovo claims that this will last for 18.3 hours I think 18 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:48.959 and a half hours is pretty optimistic but at the same time these AMD CPUs are 00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:52.980 very good at being power efficient so you can probably get over 10 or so also 00:13:51.660 --> 00:14:00.120 one thing that they have is fast charging for the battery so you can get 80 percent an hour which is great the 00:13:57.959 --> 00:14:04.500 last thing for this is the price I don't know it yet but I'm guessing it is 00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:07.560 rather high for one we have this beautiful chassis that's made out of 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:12.000 aluminum we have the leather although who cares about that but also we have 00:14:09.540 --> 00:14:16.800 one Nova's business-centric features the biggest one for me is their BIOS what do 00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:20.399 they call it smart BIOS BIOS flashback something something either way your BIOS 00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:24.300 corrupts you don't have to worry about it it's going to be just backed up on 00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:27.600 here and you'll be all good to go all right Jake hit me how bad is it over two 00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:34.200 grand starts at 13.55 starts at 13.55 not bad 00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:39.720 does that have a ryzen 5 or a ryzen 3. so that has a ryzen 5. okay ryzen 5 for 00:14:37.560 --> 00:14:45.060 1500 that that's not too bad that's not too bad what's this one aspect is 00:14:43.160 --> 00:14:49.860 1705 dollars one thousand seven hundred five dollars 00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:55.079 aspect okay that's like pretty in line with I guess like an XPS 13 or a specter 00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:59.399 X360 like that makes sense it is definitely a 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:04.380 laptop where you're paying for like this very beautiful finish around the edges 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:10.079 and the incredibly well put together just everything about it oh wait is 00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:14.880 there expandability look at this right there you can put another SSD that is 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:17.699 fantastic really good job Lenovo actually if you can just upgrade the 00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:23.160 storage that's something that you don't see on a lot of 13-inch devices so the 00:15:20.339 --> 00:15:28.139 Lenovo z13 it uh doesn't smell as good as the competition in the leather laptop 00:15:25.260 --> 00:15:33.779 space but also no cows died for it so that's a plus I guess if you're looking 00:15:30.180 --> 00:15:36.180 for a small 13-inch laptop that like you 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:40.139 don't really care about performance like it has eight cores it's gonna do 00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:46.019 spreadsheets and just fine it's fantastically built keyboard trackpad 00:15:42.660 --> 00:15:48.180 trackpoint screen all incredible so if 00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:52.920 you want like a 13 inch laptop that looks pretty cool in my opinion I think 00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:56.880 it's a good buy oh and if you don't care that 1700 bucks you can get something 00:15:54.779 --> 00:16:00.120 that's very similar for much less but that always applies you know it also 00:15:58.800 --> 00:16:04.040 always applies have a good day see ya
