1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
all right guys hardest part of the video we're getting it right out right out of the gate i need to say the name of this

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,880
laptop correctly this sponsored by lenovo of course

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:16,320
is the lenovo slim 7i pro x not the yoga

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,400
it is in europe but not here

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,640
the charger that we get is a hundred watts over usb type-c really like to see

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,480
it i thought at first when i saw that it was yellow it was lenovo's little

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:31,599
proprietary charger which also in fairness is pretty good all right what

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,960
else do we have in here

9
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:36,559
it says yoga rate on it

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,719
the good news is it's a good feeling laptop having a look at the i o here you

11
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,559
get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and you might want to use those for display as

12
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:49,600
well because the HDMI we have right here is only 2.0 not 2.1 so if you're hooking

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,000
up to 4k display and just use thunderbolts over on the other side we

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:59,840
have a full size usb type a headphone microphone combo and oh a little webcam

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,799
disabled i'd like to see that overall though this is um a very laptop looking

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,320
laptop what i am impressed with though is the overall chassis rigid you can see

17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,479
some like macro flexing here but that's the sort

18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,840
of thing that like when the whole deck as one piece flexes you don't

19
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:22,400
necessarily get in the keys like yeah if you look at the keys there's no deflection it's just if i'm

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,400
like really pushing it

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,479
okay the keyboard is great we also have excellent key stabilization so you can

22
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,799
see here like if i push on the side of the key the whole key goes down instead

23
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,920
of just like the corner going down that's the sort of thing that allows you

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,000
to have just a really fast typing experience not have to kind of make sure

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,640
that you're hitting the keys as opposed to just hitting the keys now as well as

26
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,320
having a fantastic keyboard it's also not the laptop we're supposed to be

27
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,240
looking at make sense uh this one's the gray this one right here is the teal

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,960
also this one does not say yoga right here just says lenovo what i find

29
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,159
interesting though is that the displays are not the same on paper they're the

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,880
same but in real life they obviously are not now

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,360
they both are 120 hertz panel they also have a color calibrated from the factory

32
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:14,400
i think it's what delta e of less than one that is mangled good so you can

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,440
definitely use this for your lightroom or video editing or what you have you

34
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,959
just what i don't get is that the us model is glossy and the european appears

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:30,239
to be matte the glossy one clearly has just nicer more vibrant

36
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,720
colors like the blacks look darker the colors just look a little bit more

37
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:39,440
colorful but at the same time i can see my face in it if i want to whereas the

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,680
mac display does an exceptional job of not showing me all the crap that's

39
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,040
around me but at the same time you know it's just a little bit more washed up

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,319
especially with their great big light that's above my head you don't think any

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,319
of them are touch well

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,239
i think you're wrong wait what this one not touch for

43
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:03,120
whatever reason the one with the matte display does not

44
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,440
have touch and the one with the glossy screen does have touch so before i was

45
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:11,840
kind of leaning towards the matte display because you know that's nice

46
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,040
touch is way better i absolutely love touching a laptop especially one that's

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,440
disliked how much does this thing weigh starts at 3.2 pounds damn that's really

48
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,159
good now 3.2 pounds might not sound like the

49
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,640
lightest thing ever there's much lighter laptops out there the reason that's

50
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,720
impressive is because of the specs of this thing oh damn that is really

51
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:36,319
impressive we have an Intel i7 12700h

52
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,799
not even the p they just give you the full fat 14 core 20 thread monster damn

53
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:47,200
this thing has 32 gigabytes of RAM at 1600 megahertz ddr5 okay i'm

54
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,120
legitimately impressed right now i didn't look at this before i assumed it

55
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:56,879
was like a p series we also have one terabyte SSD Intel wi-fi 6e iris xc

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,400
graphics of course but you'll never use those because it also has an rtx 3050. okay this one's a

57
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:08,640
bit more reasonable 16 gigabytes of RAM

58
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:11,760
1650 but it also still gets the 12700h

59
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,280
for that massive CPU compute also just

60
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,840
want to mention that these are both on the Intel evo platform so that basically

61
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,080
just means that it gets what more than nine hours of battery life starts from

62
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,840
sleep really fast boots up super fast

63
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,000
one other kind of awkward thing is that it expressly states that we have to show

64
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:35,600
you the Intel evo badge cover up the other badging there we go Intel evo we

65
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,680
now get to do our startup test it should be real fast because it's on the evil

66
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,520
platform and it is there we go we're in all right

67
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:46,960
now i'm kind of very legitimately concerned about having a processor

68
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,160
that's that powerful in a chassis that is this small

69
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,479
it's going to thermal throttle it's already thermal throttling uh CPU

70
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,040
package right now it's at 86 degrees here we go we're starting our cinebench

71
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,320
run this right here isn't like a single one and done run to get a high score

72
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,479
this is just a it's running for 10 minutes sort of thing so we can find out

73
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,440
what we're dealing with here CPU is at 94 95 degrees now if we open

74
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,120
up lenovo's little vantage software here

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,400
power and performance actually i'm just going to chuck it right into extreme

76
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,520
performance mode there we go it looks like that we're at 95 degrees celsius on

77
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,960
the CPU that's like perfectly fine what you have to realize is that the on

78
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,560
modern cpus they don't care if they're running at 100 degrees the whole time if

79
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,520
you want in the BIOS you can set it to go to 115 and it still will be perfectly

80
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,560
fine and our CPU she's struggling now you might see that

81
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,000
this is you know for one it's pretty loud at the

82
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:48,160
moment and also like it isn't going all

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,479
that fast it seems like we're doing all core 2.4 gigahertz which sounds kind of

84
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:58,800
slow but we just need to put that into context for a second here this was able

85
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:03,039
to manage a bit over 11 000 points in

86
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,639
cinebench r23 for comparison um an i9

87
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:09,759
9900 that was a 5 gigahertz 8 core processor

88
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:17,280
from just a couple generations ago on a desktop that's comparable to like a

89
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:19,280
ryzen 5 5600 x it's a very competent

90
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,400
little machine now let's try and just get a proper score we'll turn off you

91
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,440
know obs here stop recording we'll give it a second to cool down maybe even i'll

92
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,039
pop prop it up i think it'll love that

93
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,680
damn all right turns out you know screen

94
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:42,000
recording at the same time uses up some resources this thing was able to do 13

95
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,800
576 in cinebench that is freaking great

96
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,800
for like look at this thing it's so slim how

97
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,720
did they do that i am genuinely impressed with this

98
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,520
laptop now i don't want to mention this tape definitely helped us out that

99
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,720
probably i don't know got us five maybe even 10 more watts on the processor oh

100
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,280
we haven't even talked about the trackpad the trackpad is great it's big

101
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,680
it's glass topped it's nice to use it's a good trackpad all right thank you eu

102
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,199
version of the laptop you've served us well but you're not as fast as our north

103
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,120
american one the number one game in the world

104
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:22,240
according to me malham medium settings large 1080p we're

105
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,720
looking at what 30 FPS okay we can do better than that i think extreme

106
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:33,759
performance there we go yep that got us 20 FPS fantastic this is a fantastic

107
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:37,520
screen for playing games on like 3k

108
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:39,759
excellent also having the 120 hertz even

109
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,199
though we're only getting 60 FPS in this game makes everything so much more

110
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:47,360
responsive even has g-sync it's basically a gaming

111
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,440
laptop but you don't have to like have it be so heavy it is getting a little

112
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:59,120
bit hot up here well we'll play this until i die oh i'm so dead

113
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,319
oh do you see that dodge roll i died all

114
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,599
right well that's enough valheim for this evening that was not a laptop issue that was

115
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:12,599
purely a skill issue uh what else oh crabrif grab rave almost open it up too

116
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:12,599
fast let's have a gander at that

117
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,560
how many this is it 400

118
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,599
well the speakers are fine we want to just be clear here it's not incredible

119
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,599
compared to some of the top-end laptops

120
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:38,000
but if you're comparing it to a laptop from a couple years ago it's the same as

121
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,919
the best ones that existed then it's this large you can only make your

122
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,480
speakers so good this is our webcam right here i feel like if you took the

123
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:50,160
time to set up the lighting this camera could be quite good i'm really blown out

124
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,240
kind of right in my forehead and stuff it's kind of weird

125
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,880
yeah it's a very challenging scene i want to be clear and once i turn it into

126
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,080
the pure camera mode it seems to figure it out like this is really good i'll

127
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,399
just take photo another one i'll smile for this one it exposed perfectly for my

128
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:10,480
face for the photo okay we're gonna go for a little tour here mr laptop okay

129
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,000
this is still a very challenging scene but it's doing slightly better

130
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:17,680
but we have so many lights and stuff okay

131
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,839
i'm sorry andy one second it's it's still

132
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,760
not quite exposing correctly the webcam i would say if you

133
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:31,040
put in the work it's going to be really good if you have kind of a weird scene

134
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,560
like we have here it's gonna struggle that said for a zoom call like it's more

135
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:38,720
than good enough when there's hello facial recognition it has it it's my

136
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:43,519
favorite way to get into a computer it just works great you open it up and then

137
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,440
you get logged in love it now what we get to do is take it apart

138
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:56,560
all right let's see how repairable she is okay okay well in here we get a 70 watt

139
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,600
hour battery they say it'll get you 13 hours of battery life and more like 9

140
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,920
under load one thing i want to just have a chat about for a second is Windows

141
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:09,920
modern standby i'm gonna bring it up in every single ShortCircuit from now on

142
00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:13,760
until it's fixed uh lenovo go to microsoft and just kick them in the nuts

143
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:18,959
it's one of the worst things they've done in years and so every single laptop

144
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:22,640
including this one will do just this really annoying thing where for the most

145
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,519
part it's fine and the battery lasts and it's great then sometimes you put it in

146
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:31,600
your backpack and it wakes up and then you take it out and it's burning hot and

147
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:36,079
your battery's dead and everyone's very sad it's been happening for like two

148
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:39,839
years at this point just go to microsoft and get very mad at them modern standby

149
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,680
it's awful fortunately though this laptop has fast

150
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,519
charging so they say they'll be able to get four hours of battery life off of

151
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:52,079
half an hour of charging the upgradeability is about what you expect

152
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:56,079
for a laptop in this class and it looks like you cannot upgrade the RAM so make

153
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:01,360
sure you get how much you want from the factory you can swap your wi-fi card

154
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:05,279
right there SSD is removable the battery also comes out and it looks like

155
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:11,680
underneath that even the track pad can be removed which is very nice i am very

156
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:16,959
surprised that this cooler is able to do 45 watts of cooling though like we saw

157
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:22,480
it do that it clearly can the thin pitch on these fans they are just

158
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,399
super duper small fins they did a really

159
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:29,279
good job at even though they were kind of on the loud side not being annoying

160
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:33,519
that's like very key okay Jake we need to figure out the price point of this

161
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:38,399
laptop having a look in here it's pretty clear that the whole chassis was cnc

162
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,959
machined like we can look in here that's why it's so rigid that's why it feels

163
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:48,399
amazing given the specs and the screen and the chassis this

164
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:52,880
thing has to be very expensive you're guessing 1400 this thing feels like 22 i

165
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,560
think we'll have the actual price right here if it's lower than 2 000 can we have

166
00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:00,079
balloons it's a good laptop i'm surprised how

167
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,920
much power they were able to cram into something that's this small yeah if

168
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,519
you're like a content creator video editor like gamer it's a pretty

169
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,880
