WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.880
laptop correctly this sponsored by lenovo of course

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:16.320
is the lenovo slim 7i pro x not the yoga

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:18.400
it is in europe but not here

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

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

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.599
proprietary charger which also in fairness is pretty good all right what

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:34.960
else do we have in here

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:36.559
it says yoga rate on it

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

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:44.559
get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and you might want to use those for display as

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

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:54.000
up to 4k display and just use thunderbolts over on the other side we

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:59.840
have a full size usb type a headphone microphone combo and oh a little webcam

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:04.799
disabled i'd like to see that overall though this is um a very laptop looking

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.320
laptop what i am impressed with though is the overall chassis rigid you can see

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:12.479
some like macro flexing here but that's the sort

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.840
of thing that like when the whole deck as one piece flexes you don't

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

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.400
like really pushing it

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.479
okay the keyboard is great we also have excellent key stabilization so you can

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

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.920
of just like the corner going down that's the sort of thing that allows you

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.000
to have just a really fast typing experience not have to kind of make sure

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

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.320
having a fantastic keyboard it's also not the laptop we're supposed to be

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

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.960
also this one does not say yoga right here just says lenovo what i find

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.159
interesting though is that the displays are not the same on paper they're the

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.880
same but in real life they obviously are not now

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:09.360
they both are 120 hertz panel they also have a color calibrated from the factory

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

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:19.440
definitely use this for your lightroom or video editing or what you have you

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

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:30.239
to be matte the glossy one clearly has just nicer more vibrant

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:34.720
colors like the blacks look darker the colors just look a little bit more

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

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:43.680
mac display does an exceptional job of not showing me all the crap that's

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

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:52.319
especially with their great big light that's above my head you don't think any

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:52.319
of them are touch well

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:58.239
i think you're wrong wait what this one not touch for

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:03.120
whatever reason the one with the matte display does not

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:07.440
have touch and the one with the glossy screen does have touch so before i was

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:11.840
kind of leaning towards the matte display because you know that's nice

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.040
touch is way better i absolutely love touching a laptop especially one that's

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.440
disliked how much does this thing weigh starts at 3.2 pounds damn that's really

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:24.159
good now 3.2 pounds might not sound like the

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:28.640
lightest thing ever there's much lighter laptops out there the reason that's

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:34.720
impressive is because of the specs of this thing oh damn that is really

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.319
impressive we have an Intel i7 12700h

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

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:47.200
this thing has 32 gigabytes of RAM at 1600 megahertz ddr5 okay i'm

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:51.120
legitimately impressed right now i didn't look at this before i assumed it

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

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

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:08.640
bit more reasonable 16 gigabytes of RAM

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.760
1650 but it also still gets the 12700h

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:13.280
for that massive CPU compute also just

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:17.840
want to mention that these are both on the Intel evo platform so that basically

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:24.080
just means that it gets what more than nine hours of battery life starts from

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.840
sleep really fast boots up super fast

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:30.000
one other kind of awkward thing is that it expressly states that we have to show

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:35.600
you the Intel evo badge cover up the other badging there we go Intel evo we

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

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:43.520
platform and it is there we go we're in all right

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.960
now i'm kind of very legitimately concerned about having a processor

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:50.160
that's that powerful in a chassis that is this small

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:54.479
it's going to thermal throttle it's already thermal throttling uh CPU

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:59.040
package right now it's at 86 degrees here we go we're starting our cinebench

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

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

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.440
what we're dealing with here CPU is at 94 95 degrees now if we open

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.120
up lenovo's little vantage software here

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.400
power and performance actually i'm just going to chuck it right into extreme

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.520
performance mode there we go it looks like that we're at 95 degrees celsius on

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:28.960
the CPU that's like perfectly fine what you have to realize is that the on

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

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

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:40.560
fine and our CPU she's struggling now you might see that

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:46.000
this is you know for one it's pretty loud at the

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.160
moment and also like it isn't going all

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

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

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:03.039
to manage a bit over 11 000 points in

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.639
cinebench r23 for comparison um an i9

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:09.759
9900 that was a 5 gigahertz 8 core processor

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:17.280
from just a couple generations ago on a desktop that's comparable to like a

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:19.280
ryzen 5 5600 x it's a very competent

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

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

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.039
pop prop it up i think it'll love that

00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:35.680
damn all right turns out you know screen

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:42.000
recording at the same time uses up some resources this thing was able to do 13

00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:42.800
576 in cinebench that is freaking great

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.800
for like look at this thing it's so slim how

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.720
did they do that i am genuinely impressed with this

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.520
laptop now i don't want to mention this tape definitely helped us out that

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

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:03.280
we haven't even talked about the trackpad the trackpad is great it's big

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

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

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.120
american one the number one game in the world

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:22.240
according to me malham medium settings large 1080p we're

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.720
looking at what 30 FPS okay we can do better than that i think extreme

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:33.759
performance there we go yep that got us 20 FPS fantastic this is a fantastic

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:37.520
screen for playing games on like 3k

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:39.759
excellent also having the 120 hertz even

00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:43.199
though we're only getting 60 FPS in this game makes everything so much more

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:47.360
responsive even has g-sync it's basically a gaming

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

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

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.319
oh do you see that dodge roll i died all

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

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:12.599
purely a skill issue uh what else oh crabrif grab rave almost open it up too

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:12.599
fast let's have a gander at that

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:16.560
how many this is it 400

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.599
well the speakers are fine we want to just be clear here it's not incredible

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.599
compared to some of the top-end laptops

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

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.919
the best ones that existed then it's this large you can only make your

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:46.480
speakers so good this is our webcam right here i feel like if you took the

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

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:54.240
kind of right in my forehead and stuff it's kind of weird

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

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

00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:06.399
just take photo another one i'll smile for this one it exposed perfectly for my

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

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:14.000
this is still a very challenging scene but it's doing slightly better

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:17.680
but we have so many lights and stuff okay

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.839
i'm sorry andy one second it's it's still

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:25.760
not quite exposing correctly the webcam i would say if you

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

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

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.720
than good enough when there's hello facial recognition it has it it's my

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

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:47.440
you get logged in love it now what we get to do is take it apart

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

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

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

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:09.920
modern standby i'm gonna bring it up in every single ShortCircuit from now on

00:10:07.839 --> 00:10:13.760
until it's fixed uh lenovo go to microsoft and just kick them in the nuts

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

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:22.640
including this one will do just this really annoying thing where for the most

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

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

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:36.079
your battery's dead and everyone's very sad it's been happening for like two

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:39.839
years at this point just go to microsoft and get very mad at them modern standby

00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:43.680
it's awful fortunately though this laptop has fast

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

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:52.079
half an hour of charging the upgradeability is about what you expect

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

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

00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:05.279
right there SSD is removable the battery also comes out and it looks like

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:11.680
underneath that even the track pad can be removed which is very nice i am very

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:16.959
surprised that this cooler is able to do 45 watts of cooling though like we saw

00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:22.480
it do that it clearly can the thin pitch on these fans they are just

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.399
super duper small fins they did a really

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:29.279
good job at even though they were kind of on the loud side not being annoying

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

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:38.399
laptop having a look in here it's pretty clear that the whole chassis was cnc

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

00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:48.399
amazing given the specs and the screen and the chassis this

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:52.880
thing has to be very expensive you're guessing 1400 this thing feels like 22 i

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

00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:00.079
balloons it's a good laptop i'm surprised how

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:03.920
much power they were able to cram into something that's this small yeah if

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.519
you're like a content creator video editor like gamer it's a pretty

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:10.880
fantastic little machine i can't like you know thumbs up thumbs down it

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.279
because we don't know the price and it's sponsored take from that what you wish

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.880
so huge thanks to lenovo for sponsoring this video if you guys want you can just

00:12:17.040 --> 00:12:23.120
like start sending us laptops you don't need to sponsor all of them this is just

00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:27.839
a good laptop anyway but yeah if you guys want to purchase it

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:32.480
links will be down below and just have a fantastic day hit like get subscribed

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:32.480
so long
