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
laptop correctly this sponsored by lenovo of course
is the lenovo slim 7i pro x not the yoga
it is in europe but not here
the charger that we get is a hundred watts over usb type-c really like to see
it i thought at first when i saw that it was yellow it was lenovo's little
proprietary charger which also in fairness is pretty good all right what
else do we have in here
it says yoga rate on it
the good news is it's a good feeling laptop having a look at the i o here you
get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and you might want to use those for display as
well because the HDMI we have right here is only 2.0 not 2.1 so if you're hooking
up to 4k display and just use thunderbolts over on the other side we
have a full size usb type a headphone microphone combo and oh a little webcam
disabled i'd like to see that overall though this is um a very laptop looking
laptop what i am impressed with though is the overall chassis rigid you can see
some like macro flexing here but that's the sort
of thing that like when the whole deck as one piece flexes you don't
necessarily get in the keys like yeah if you look at the keys there's no deflection it's just if i'm
like really pushing it
okay the keyboard is great we also have excellent key stabilization so you can
see here like if i push on the side of the key the whole key goes down instead
of just like the corner going down that's the sort of thing that allows you
to have just a really fast typing experience not have to kind of make sure
that you're hitting the keys as opposed to just hitting the keys now as well as
having a fantastic keyboard it's also not the laptop we're supposed to be
looking at make sense uh this one's the gray this one right here is the teal
also this one does not say yoga right here just says lenovo what i find
interesting though is that the displays are not the same on paper they're the
same but in real life they obviously are not now
they both are 120 hertz panel they also have a color calibrated from the factory
i think it's what delta e of less than one that is mangled good so you can
definitely use this for your lightroom or video editing or what you have you
just what i don't get is that the us model is glossy and the european appears
to be matte the glossy one clearly has just nicer more vibrant
colors like the blacks look darker the colors just look a little bit more
colorful but at the same time i can see my face in it if i want to whereas the
mac display does an exceptional job of not showing me all the crap that's
around me but at the same time you know it's just a little bit more washed up
especially with their great big light that's above my head you don't think any
of them are touch well
i think you're wrong wait what this one not touch for
whatever reason the one with the matte display does not
have touch and the one with the glossy screen does have touch so before i was
kind of leaning towards the matte display because you know that's nice
touch is way better i absolutely love touching a laptop especially one that's
disliked how much does this thing weigh starts at 3.2 pounds damn that's really
good now 3.2 pounds might not sound like the
lightest thing ever there's much lighter laptops out there the reason that's
impressive is because of the specs of this thing oh damn that is really
impressive we have an Intel i7 12700h
not even the p they just give you the full fat 14 core 20 thread monster damn
this thing has 32 gigabytes of RAM at 1600 megahertz ddr5 okay i'm
legitimately impressed right now i didn't look at this before i assumed it
was like a p series we also have one terabyte SSD Intel wi-fi 6e iris xc
graphics of course but you'll never use those because it also has an rtx 3050. okay this one's a
bit more reasonable 16 gigabytes of RAM
1650 but it also still gets the 12700h
for that massive CPU compute also just
want to mention that these are both on the Intel evo platform so that basically
just means that it gets what more than nine hours of battery life starts from
sleep really fast boots up super fast
one other kind of awkward thing is that it expressly states that we have to show
you the Intel evo badge cover up the other badging there we go Intel evo we
now get to do our startup test it should be real fast because it's on the evil
platform and it is there we go we're in all right
now i'm kind of very legitimately concerned about having a processor
that's that powerful in a chassis that is this small
it's going to thermal throttle it's already thermal throttling uh CPU
package right now it's at 86 degrees here we go we're starting our cinebench
run this right here isn't like a single one and done run to get a high score
this is just a it's running for 10 minutes sort of thing so we can find out
what we're dealing with here CPU is at 94 95 degrees now if we open
up lenovo's little vantage software here
power and performance actually i'm just going to chuck it right into extreme
performance mode there we go it looks like that we're at 95 degrees celsius on
the CPU that's like perfectly fine what you have to realize is that the on
modern cpus they don't care if they're running at 100 degrees the whole time if
you want in the BIOS you can set it to go to 115 and it still will be perfectly
fine and our CPU she's struggling now you might see that
this is you know for one it's pretty loud at the
moment and also like it isn't going all
that fast it seems like we're doing all core 2.4 gigahertz which sounds kind of
slow but we just need to put that into context for a second here this was able
to manage a bit over 11 000 points in
cinebench r23 for comparison um an i9
9900 that was a 5 gigahertz 8 core processor
from just a couple generations ago on a desktop that's comparable to like a
ryzen 5 5600 x it's a very competent
little machine now let's try and just get a proper score we'll turn off you
know obs here stop recording we'll give it a second to cool down maybe even i'll
pop prop it up i think it'll love that
damn all right turns out you know screen
recording at the same time uses up some resources this thing was able to do 13
576 in cinebench that is freaking great
for like look at this thing it's so slim how
did they do that i am genuinely impressed with this
laptop now i don't want to mention this tape definitely helped us out that
probably i don't know got us five maybe even 10 more watts on the processor oh
we haven't even talked about the trackpad the trackpad is great it's big
it's glass topped it's nice to use it's a good trackpad all right thank you eu
version of the laptop you've served us well but you're not as fast as our north
american one the number one game in the world
according to me malham medium settings large 1080p we're
looking at what 30 FPS okay we can do better than that i think extreme
performance there we go yep that got us 20 FPS fantastic this is a fantastic
screen for playing games on like 3k
excellent also having the 120 hertz even
though we're only getting 60 FPS in this game makes everything so much more
responsive even has g-sync it's basically a gaming
laptop but you don't have to like have it be so heavy it is getting a little
bit hot up here well we'll play this until i die oh i'm so dead
oh do you see that dodge roll i died all
right well that's enough valheim for this evening that was not a laptop issue that was
purely a skill issue uh what else oh crabrif grab rave almost open it up too
fast let's have a gander at that
how many this is it 400
well the speakers are fine we want to just be clear here it's not incredible
compared to some of the top-end laptops
but if you're comparing it to a laptop from a couple years ago it's the same as
the best ones that existed then it's this large you can only make your
speakers so good this is our webcam right here i feel like if you took the
time to set up the lighting this camera could be quite good i'm really blown out
kind of right in my forehead and stuff it's kind of weird
yeah it's a very challenging scene i want to be clear and once i turn it into
the pure camera mode it seems to figure it out like this is really good i'll
just take photo another one i'll smile for this one it exposed perfectly for my
face for the photo okay we're gonna go for a little tour here mr laptop okay
this is still a very challenging scene but it's doing slightly better
but we have so many lights and stuff okay
i'm sorry andy one second it's it's still
not quite exposing correctly the webcam i would say if you
put in the work it's going to be really good if you have kind of a weird scene
like we have here it's gonna struggle that said for a zoom call like it's more
than good enough when there's hello facial recognition it has it it's my
favorite way to get into a computer it just works great you open it up and then
you get logged in love it now what we get to do is take it apart
all right let's see how repairable she is okay okay well in here we get a 70 watt
hour battery they say it'll get you 13 hours of battery life and more like 9
under load one thing i want to just have a chat about for a second is Windows
modern standby i'm gonna bring it up in every single ShortCircuit from now on
until it's fixed uh lenovo go to microsoft and just kick them in the nuts
it's one of the worst things they've done in years and so every single laptop
including this one will do just this really annoying thing where for the most
part it's fine and the battery lasts and it's great then sometimes you put it in
your backpack and it wakes up and then you take it out and it's burning hot and
your battery's dead and everyone's very sad it's been happening for like two
years at this point just go to microsoft and get very mad at them modern standby
it's awful fortunately though this laptop has fast
charging so they say they'll be able to get four hours of battery life off of
half an hour of charging the upgradeability is about what you expect
for a laptop in this class and it looks like you cannot upgrade the RAM so make
sure you get how much you want from the factory you can swap your wi-fi card
right there SSD is removable the battery also comes out and it looks like
underneath that even the track pad can be removed which is very nice i am very
surprised that this cooler is able to do 45 watts of cooling though like we saw
it do that it clearly can the thin pitch on these fans they are just
super duper small fins they did a really
good job at even though they were kind of on the loud side not being annoying
that's like very key okay Jake we need to figure out the price point of this
laptop having a look in here it's pretty clear that the whole chassis was cnc
machined like we can look in here that's why it's so rigid that's why it feels
amazing given the specs and the screen and the chassis this
thing has to be very expensive you're guessing 1400 this thing feels like 22 i
think we'll have the actual price right here if it's lower than 2 000 can we have
balloons it's a good laptop i'm surprised how
much power they were able to cram into something that's this small yeah if
you're like a content creator video editor like gamer it's a pretty
fantastic little machine i can't like you know thumbs up thumbs down it
because we don't know the price and it's sponsored take from that what you wish
so huge thanks to lenovo for sponsoring this video if you guys want you can just
like start sending us laptops you don't need to sponsor all of them this is just
a good laptop anyway but yeah if you guys want to purchase it
links will be down below and just have a fantastic day hit like get subscribed
so long
