WEBVTT 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.259 10 years ago lenovo's yoga brand invented the very first convertible 00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:13.380 laptop and now to celebrate that they have created this right here the very 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:15.780 first Lenovo Yoga that 00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:22.380 isn't a convertible uh yeah this is the new Lenovo Yoga pro 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:26.760 pro is very important Pro 9i which is no longer convertible but also heck and 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:33.239 Powerful let's check it out and huge thanks to Lenovo for sponsoring this oh 00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:38.760 before we get started we need to clear up some confusion that is entirely 00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:45.059 lenovo's fault this right here in all of the world is Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i except 00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:50.579 for North America whereas the Lenovo slim Pro 9i which is different than 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:54.840 Lenovo Yoga Slim totally different laptops anyway we've 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.840 got two of them though this right here is the 14 inch and let's see what it has 00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.840 for a charger 00:01:00.059 --> 00:01:06.540 here we have a 140 watt charger which is 00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:09.479 being delivered over USB type c love to 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:13.140 see it man over 100 Watts type c they're actually doing it and this right here is 00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:19.680 a very small brick this has to be gallium nitride also here 00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:22.320 we have the 16 inch knot yoga in North 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.759 America Pro 9i is there anything else in here 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:29.360 presumably if you get a actual production version 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.640 for the 16 inch we have 170 Watts but it 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.140 is not delivered over USB type scene the color that we have here is tidal teal 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.000 and I do have to say it looks pretty darn good around the side we have a full 00:01:51.299 --> 00:02:01.380 size SD card reader excellent start guys two Thunderbolt 4S HDMI 2.1 aha fact 00:01:58.380 --> 00:02:04.020 Checkers say HDMI 2.1 we also have two 00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:09.060 full-size USB type A's headphone microphone combo Jack a little webcam 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:14.280 turn off switch can you see that there and also the power button is on the side 00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:16.200 right here so normally when you have a 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.400 small device and a big device you kind of just repurpose the motherboard for 00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:26.520 both of them now we'll have to take these apart later and figure out what exactly is on the go but I can tell you 00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:33.500 for sure it's totally different on this looking at the i o so on this side we 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:36.540 have our power input USB type a HDMI 2.1 00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:38.459 Thunderbolt 4 and a headphone microphone 00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:42.900 combo Jack then around on the other side we have 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:46.980 our full size SD card reader and another USB type A normally you'd expect them to 00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:51.120 be you know pretty much the same between the models but here it is just entirely 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:54.260 different I'm rather surprised 00:02:55.739 --> 00:03:01.260 let's have a look here this feels very good 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:05.099 okay let's get rid of the mouse map you can get this mousepad at lttstore.com 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:11.340 also this water bottle the chassis is made out of CNC machined 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.940 aluminum and it feels like that this is 00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:19.640 an excellent feeling laptop and there's no real soft spots 16 the same okay 00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:25.920 16's a tiny bit softer than the 14 but 00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:32.840 that makes sense it's a much larger laptop also has a larger trackpad 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.840 geez they're spoiling us look at this 00:03:34.019 --> 00:03:39.360 most of the time when you have two laptops that are in the same family they 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:43.500 just sort of cheap out and so they'll make a really nice track pad for like 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:47.280 the 14 15 inch version and then the 17 or a larger inch version just kind of 00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:51.360 gets the exact same track back here though for the 16 inch they have a 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:55.440 bespoke actually very large size trackpad and I really appreciate that 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.220 also a numpad alright let's have a look at what we're dealing with for specs 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:05.000 here I know for sure that it's an Intel processor because the eye part of the 9i 00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:12.000 means Intel here we have an I9 13905h oh dang this this is a powerful 00:04:08.459 --> 00:04:14.640 boy so 14 cores total six performance 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:20.400 cores eight efficiency cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4 gigahertz we'll 00:04:17.820 --> 00:04:25.740 see how she does in a chassis like this I imagine that the 115 watt maximum 00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:31.320 Turbo Power will not be achieved in this machine which is okay here we also have 00:04:28.340 --> 00:04:37.800 64 gigabytes of RAM although it won't tell me what the speed is a micron one 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:40.080 terabyte SSD Intel Wi-Fi 6E love to see 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:47.940 that and the star of the show and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 so this right here is 00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:50.340 up to 80 Watts on the GPU which again 00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:55.139 laptop this big pretty darn impressive on the 16 the 00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:59.699 specs are exactly the same the only difference is that that GPU is able to 00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:05.520 draw up to 100 watts of power and the total system can draw up to 130. let's 00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:10.680 have a little look at this keyboard so 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:12.900 there is a 0.3 millimeter dish in every 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:17.580 single key and they seem to be very happy about that also there is a 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:22.199 millimeter and a half of travel which should be 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.940 keyboard's excellent absolutely love it good job guys so the edge of the laptop 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.020 is round here this right here has enough Palm rest space that my hands can very 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:34.620 easily just rest on it and you don't have to worry about the kind of sharp 00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:38.400 edge down here that's because I have the speakers along the sides whenever they 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:42.900 put it up on the top then keyboard moves down trackpad gets smaller my hands get 00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:47.460 hurt by the sharp edge down here but nope keyboards up high trackpad's really 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.560 big and I am comfortable back to the rounded corners for a second 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.440 the only spot that's sharp is down here 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:59.039 on the palm rest it actually is nicely rounded like up here 00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:02.220 where your hands don't go ever this is going to be hard to see because 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.520 it's just kind of playing hard to see let alone doing it with a camera and a 00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:11.759 brightly lit set but this right here is a mini LED display and it is extremely 00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:15.539 bright up to 1200 nits Peak brightness the problem though and you'll see this 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:21.600 on Max as well is that there's a little bit of uh Bloom 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:27.120 around it you see around the mouse when it's on a very dark page with a black 00:06:24.780 --> 00:06:32.220 background around it there's a little bit of a halo around bright objects that 00:06:30.419 --> 00:06:37.020 is just a limitation of the tech and something that OLED overcomes but then 00:06:34.979 --> 00:06:40.740 it's not nearly as bright as this now apparently this will be better on 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.759 production versions this right here is an engineering sample and they said that 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:48.960 it isn't tuned quite perfectly but I just want to point it out because even 00:06:46.259 --> 00:06:51.840 like it's a technology thing you can tune it as much as you want but at the 00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:55.560 end of the day there's gonna be a tiny bit of Bloom but you get all that 00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:59.940 brightness this is a fantastic looking display and has one of my favorite 00:06:57.300 --> 00:07:04.680 features which is color space switching so say that you have Adobe open that 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.800 wants to have Adobe RGB and it will actually display that to you then when 00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:10.520 you go over to your web browser you don't have to go in and be like oh I no 00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:14.940 longer it'll just go straight to srgb so 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.479 everything that you're seeing is going to be color accurate no matter the 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.220 content and you don't have to worry about making sure all of that is good 00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:33.000 yourself love it love that feature the resolution is 30 72 by 1920 and the 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:35.160 active signal mode is 83 or 165 Hertz 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.660 and it can dynamically change between those depending on what's happening on 00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:44.280 the display which is I was not expecting this to be 165 Hertz panel they very 00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:48.120 specifically tell us that we're not supposed to game on it too much in this 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:54.259 but uh I want a game of it this one here we have Dolby Vision heck 00:07:51.539 --> 00:08:00.240 yeah it's about 0.1 milliseconds response 0.2 millisecond response time 00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:05.160 they put this on a Creator laptop and they tell us not to game on it what the 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:07.860 hell are they I'm opening valheim 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:14.940 it's a cottage creation app also screen specs 242 PPI display Peak brightness of 00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:20.039 600 but also it gets up to 1200 and small bits and 10 bit color while we're 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:25.680 discussing screen specs or continuing to discuss them 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:28.020 the 16 inch model is 3200 by 2000 but 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:32.160 otherwise essentially identical to the 14 inch hmm 00:08:32.520 --> 00:08:40.380 so we are screen recording at the moment so take this for what it is but we're 00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:45.300 also currently getting 30 FPS wow this character is very weak 00:08:43.339 --> 00:08:48.620 it's Paul you didn't even get his name right 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:57.300 so here we are in valheim 1080P High 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:59.279 running at 60 to 70 FPS which is pretty 00:08:57.300 --> 00:09:04.140 good not as good as I thought a 4070 would be but it's not a gaming laptop 00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:08.160 it's a creative laptop okay maybe just needed a second but I am a lot happier 00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:13.680 now so turned off the screen recording settings were a little bit higher for 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:16.320 honest and now I'm seeing 95 FPS that's 00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:19.800 more in line with what I was expecting there we go Mr boy you're getting 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:26.700 punched in the face actually maybe I'm gonna die it's a very low level character 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.160 getting 95 FPS's 00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:34.040 1080p though so that's kind of lame oh this is so sweet though look at this 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:38.940 look at this there's actually good response times on 00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:43.019 a creative laptop it's so often that they have a laptop that's built that's 00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:47.940 incredibly powerful and then the screen that they put on it has just loads of 00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:52.980 input latency or stuff so even though it is a very gaming capable machine 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:58.800 actually gaming on it sucks terrible time this right here though oh 00:09:56.700 --> 00:10:03.660 it's very good and I just want to remind you like having a high refresh rate 00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:07.800 display doesn't only matter for gaming you are going to still have increased 00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:13.220 responsiveness and the ability to do things way faster in I don't know Adobe 00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:18.779 crash simulator 2023 you'll be able to very quickly like 00:10:16.140 --> 00:10:23.040 move everything around it's just more responsive in general even file manager 00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:29.519 you can notice the difference I am slightly curious just how heavy is this 00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:31.560 thing 3.7 pounds so that is incredibly 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:39.240 good for the amount of power that we just saw 16 inch comes in at 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:41.220 4.9 pounds so this right here it's 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.920 getting up there in weight but it hasn't quite cracked that five pound mark 00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:49.980 let's give the 16 inch a run I'm still shocked that they made completely 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:56.339 separate track pads to use for both of them and on both laptops the trackpad is 00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:59.279 exceptional so it's nice and large glass 00:10:56.339 --> 00:11:02.880 topped and it's just in general feels great to use you don't have to like 00:11:00.660 --> 00:11:07.260 break it in or anything it's not sticky from the factory it is just out of the 00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:11.579 box a great to use trackpad the keyboard on the 16 is worse it's not bad it still 00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:15.740 is good like it's the same key switches and they are excellent key switches but 00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:21.360 there's just a tiny bit more Flex particularly sort of in this middle 00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:26.040 reddish area but it's not super noticeable 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.480 but it's enough to take this keyboard oh yeah right right there you can sort of 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:34.800 see it a bit of a bit of a soft spot and it's enough to take this keyboard from 00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:40.140 the A Plus like very easy a plus of the 14 inch and it's more like an A A minus 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:43.680 territory because it just doesn't quite have the consistency or the snappy feel 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:49.980 across the whole thing that said though some people absolutely 00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:55.560 die for a numpad I personally take it or leave it but like Josh maybe loves 00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:57.959 numpads I don't actually know but 00:11:55.560 --> 00:12:01.620 I'm guessing well 16 is about the same as the 14. um I don't know I don't even 00:11:59.640 --> 00:12:05.700 say anything more speakers for the speakers I did have to turn their Dolby 00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:09.300 stuff off because it's pre-production apparently that doesn't quite work yet 00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:14.220 that'll work when you guys actually get it I do love having Dolby but what also 00:12:12.420 --> 00:12:17.040 is in here that I saw while I was turning that off they have a full-blown 00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:21.660 EQ love to see it guys so if this doesn't 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:25.279 sound quite like how I want it I could change it to make it so it is 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:34.399 so on the 14 inch we get four speakers and the 16 has six so let's see if that 00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:38.290 makes a difference okay 00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:50.339 okay that's pretty good but nothing like amazing won't blow you away won't make 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:54.060 you have to get a Bluetooth speaker every single time that you want to play 00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:57.040 crab Brave okay 00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:04.459 the 16 is a lot better okay here we go 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.040 all right way crispier way more bass it 00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:14.839 does sound like there is some DRC when we got to the drop there but like 00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:23.760 not even in the same league oh 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:25.560 16 inch a plus for laptop speakers four 00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:32.279 teens like B plus maybe somewhere around there not terrible fantastic oh for the 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:38.639 camera we get a five megapixel camera and four microphones to act as not only 00:13:36.180 --> 00:13:43.560 getting my voice into the laptop but also getting their voices not into the 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.180 laptop pretty good apparently the tuning is 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:52.500 pre-production as is theme of this video but it's working pretty well it's not 00:13:50.579 --> 00:13:56.820 doing anything dramatic but at the same time that's good it is very simply 00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:00.660 exposing for my face everything looks kind of boring but in the sort of way 00:13:58.980 --> 00:14:03.839 where it's good because you want a laptop to just 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:08.399 simply make your face look good as a bonus around that there's also Windows 00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:11.940 hello facial recognition so you don't have to do stuff like typing in your 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:18.120 password don't have to worry about that anymore great 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.920 five T5 screws later and we are in let's 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:24.899 have a look under here haha I found you now one thing that's 00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:30.180 unfortunate about this laptop is that after it leaves the factory you cannot 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:32.100 upgrade the RAM but they at least have a 00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:36.360 decent reason for that so they have their X power which is you know your 00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:41.040 regular software stuff it optimizes saying blah blah blah blah but also 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:46.440 there is Hardware behind it too so your RAM chips are right beside your CPU they 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:51.360 are pretty much as close as they can get which means signal path is a lot shorter 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:57.360 which means it goes faster in here we have 6400 Mega transfer per second RAM 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.740 which is freaking rapid now for the 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:04.620 storage you can replace it right here and we have a 75 watt hour battery let's 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:10.440 see how the 16 inch Compares it's pretty fun that all of the screws are also 00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:11.519 tidal turquoise there we go color match 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:19.019 screws that's fancy yeah oh this 100 just woke up 00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:22.500 oh yep hello do you guys think this is cooling we've 00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:26.760 got a big old heat pipe right here and I don't particularly feel like taking all 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:31.079 of this off so CPU is there GPU is there is this all just memory cooling okay 00:15:29.339 --> 00:15:36.360 yeah that's all memory cooling must be the same as what's right here but just 00:15:32.579 --> 00:15:39.839 more chunk so in both of these you get a 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:42.480 75 watt hour bed for the 14 inch that is 00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:47.279 awesome in a laptop of this size fitting 75 watt hours is darn impressive what's 00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:51.680 not as impressive is cramming that into a uh 17 inch you can see there's sort of 00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:55.800 space right here that's sort of underutilized and sort of space right 00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:01.920 here that's not doing a whole lot and also some space right here that fortunately at least has a bit of 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:06.480 utility so we have our first SSD right here and then if you want a second one 00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:11.579 later you can Chuck it right there nice now of course this being a product aimed 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:16.320 at gen Z it means that it needs to be good for the environment as well and 00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:21.300 this one right here does not let us down so this right here uses recycled 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:25.980 aluminum not entirely but most of it and of course the package materials are all 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.339 nice and good for the whales what does this do do I have a 00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:34.279 pre-production switch that people normally don't get mystery switch what's 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.279 the mystery switch do 00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:42.959 the mystery malware switch you'll definitely be getting rid of 00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:49.860 McAfee but what you won't be getting rid of is Adobe Creative Cloud because every 00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:51.899 2023 Lenovo Yoga Pro comes with a 00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:56.040 complimentary two month of Adobe Creative Cloud 00:16:53.699 --> 00:17:00.779 overall I think these are great it's a Creator laptop that has taken the stuff 00:16:58.259 --> 00:17:06.360 that everyone's learned in the past but like 10 or so years to make excellent 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:10.620 gaming laptops and apply those learnings towards a Creator laptop in a way that 00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:14.880 just makes it better for everyone excellent job guys a huge thanks Lenovo 00:17:12.780 --> 00:17:18.900 for sponsoring this video and huge thanks to you for watching it so hit 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.579 like get subscribed
