we're here at cs2023 and this year Lenovo is bringing weird like how weird
oh well this is just like a normal laptop with an OLED display it's
fantastic looks great right
what on one side they have a very normal
OLED display this is actually just a fantastic display to look at if it works
uh oh there we go okay geez that was scary um build Redux build Redux makes
it easy to configure your new build with support guides to help along the way
they also offer competitive pricing as compared to building a PC yourself head
to build redox.com Linus and start your
new build today but the big problem with
OLED displays is the amount of battery that they consume it's so bad that I
just don't even want to know lead display on my laptop because well even
though it looks fantastic your battery dies almost instantly well instead if
you just want to do like Word documents reading things or so on you can flip
over to this e-ink display now uh it's
not the best looking display I've ever seen it runs at a rapid 12 Hertz yeah
that's one two not like 120 but that's actually very fast for an e-ink display
and also okay
it is pretty funny that's uh you are not
going to be playing CS go on this thing but for e-ink display this is so cool
also as you've probably noticed it's color the ink slays are almost always
only black and white but they have somehow managed to make this a color
display so you can just go through your emails read something I actually like it
well I think that's interesting is you can see the whole thing refresh itself
so I just kind of do this for a little while there's going to be most Trails
over everything that flash there though resets the eating display so that you
don't have Mouse Trails over everything this is very cool if you're not using
the e-ink this is a very standard but very high-end laptop so the OLED panel
is 2880 by 1800 so that's 16 by 10. this
thing's 100 DCI P3 and color calibrated from the factory and also for processor
you get an i7 1365u now that's only two performance
cores and eight efficiency at the same time it's this big and has 10 cores in
it it's pretty hard to complain about that what I will complain about though is the i o you get a Thunderbolt and a
Thunderbolt and In fairness to them you also get a headphone jack Dell what the
they did it on this they have an e-ink display and they still managed to fit a
headphone jack on there fix your 13. come on there are several ways to use
this mostly you know like this but then you can also just fold it down
and it's basically just a book hello hello there we go it is super cool that
you can just use it like this like a book and e-ink is fantastic for eye
strain this is the sort of thing where you could actually read a novel and not
just have a searing headache at the end like you would on a normal laptop but
the weirdness is not over oh not even close
up next is the ThinkPad 16p Gen 4 and
this has much more weirdness now here we have an IR full HD camera that honestly
is pretty good but if you look on the back here there's a bunch of pogo pins
which means oh yeah there's a 4K webcam
we can just attach it right here like that there we go and it just works it's
not quite tuned yet the software isn't quite there so uh if you look Andy which
one of these do you think's the 4K one that one yeah I shouldn't have asked a
cameraman this one is clearly a lot sharper but the iso is terrible the the
way that they expose is not done yet at all everything here it looks interesting
to say the least now I'm sure what you're thinking right now is if it's
struggling for exposure that means we just need a little bit more light and
earlier today an Acer's Booth we actually saw a combo uh Pogo pin on off
webcam like combo but Lenovo instead you
can get a second 16p attach it's a
separate attachment so we can we can go like this now by very simply having two
laptops at the same time you can have a light and a webcam simultaneously or you
could just use the light in the full HD webcam that's also pretty good in
addition they also have a 4G connectivity adapter thing on my laptop
you have 5G and it goes in right here but instead
anyway up next on our tour of interesting products that I'm not
totally sure why it's here we have the X1 fold 16. so it as I'm sure you have
guessed by the name it fools and it folds way better than the last one too
apparently this is rated for 25 000
folds before you will see any problems and they've also fixed the problem where
in the past you store the keyboard inside of the fold because they couldn't
get it to go quite all the way now there's a couple problems with that the
biggest is that you get dirt and grime all over your keyboard which then you
put in the middle gets on your display scratches that up damages everything bad
time now instead it just pulled all the
way like this to create a really nice convenient and quite small package for
something that has a 16 inch display then you can just take the keyboard and
slap it on like that and you have the whole thing just ready to go it's
actually pretty cool now there's many different ways that you can use the X1
fold so you can have it in landscape mode like so or you can flip her over
use it in portrait mode or you can place
it onto the table use it like this touch right there get your keyboard or if you
don't like that keyboard you can attach this one and boom
now you have a 12 inch laptop given what it is this keyboard is all right but it
is kind of hard to use and a little bit small now there were quite a few
sacrifices to get this to hold so uh the
i o is pretty bad there's a Thunderbolt there and another Thunderbolt right
there that's it I know what you're thinking though I don't want to screen
that folds that's just way too anxiety inducing even if they say that it's
going to last for 25 000 Cycles what I
want is two displaced yes the weird train
keeps on going look at this this is the Lenovo Yoga book 9i and we have two OLED
displays look at that now through the magic of origami we can take the little
folio for the keyboard move it like this
and we have an absolute battle station on the go look at this thing I actually
kind of love it so you can use it either like this with two displays or if you
take five fingers and go where now it's one very large display the way
that it interacts is actually really well thought through my favorite thing
is probably let's say uh we want to look
at the gaming laptop Awards up here I want to send that as a note
now I can Circle that insert a note and
now I have that just in my notes what I just circled right there I could see
this being so useful for so many people I actually really appreciate that it's
like Snipping tool on steroids and Snipping tool is my absolute favorite
thing maybe instead though you don't want it in battle station mode
you can have it in dual portrait mode I don't know you can very easily have
let's say your notes over here and your script on this side you can type it all
out and sure you don't have a trackpad but
you have two screens but maybe you do want a track pack well we can take it
move it like this take the keyboard off there and put it
right on top like that and now this screen's a trackpad it
actually all works shockingly well like it's
all tuned in a way that I wasn't expecting it to be that like final
production ready I guess this is final production right
it is final production but normally these things feel like
engineering lab stuff this one actually works really well you know of all the
really weird stuff that we saw today this one's actually kind of interesting
wait no there's a fatal flaw fatal flaw IO we have two Thunderbolt fours on this
side Thunderbolt four on that side but guess what there isn't no headphone jack
I thought you did a good job what are you Dell
so let's talk about the X1 Carbon for a second not a whole lot has changed but
that's kind of a good thing because this is just a fantastic laptop you get
actual i o so HDMI full size type A
Thunderbolt and another Thunderbolt right behind it and around on the other
side we have another type a and a headphone jack thank you for keeping
that Lenovo for this latest generation Lenovo have upped the TDP of the X1
Carbon by heaps it has gone from 20.
all the way to 21. but in all seriousness though this is an excellent
laptop it's 2.5 pounds it feels awesome
I'm sure that this keyboard is excellent yeah Easy A Plus absolutely love it is
it touch it's not touch that's too bad as expected this chassis is incredibly
well built it is 100 magnesium and 90 of
that magnesium is all recycled also you don't have to feel bad about getting a
laptop because it comes in this bamboo
and sugar cane package this right here you can just hucker in your garden she's
going to biodegrade excellent thank you also if you want a laptop that folds in
a way that makes sense we have the X1 Carbon yoga again not much has changed
but they really didn't need to because it's a fantastic laptop in all
seriousness though Lenovo thank you for not screwing up the X1 I feel like the
motto over there might be just if it's not broke Go to weird somewhere else
good job speaking of not breaking things that work really well lenovo's Legion
laptops here we have the 7i Ai and this
right here gets basically just a spec bump but it's a pretty serious one at
that in here they have friends and RTX 4090 with a 170 watt tgp also we got the
Intel Core I9 13900 HX and the RAM in
this is the fastest I have seen in a laptop that you can remove this one
overclocked gets 6 000 Mega transfers
per second on that ddr5 how the heck did they do that jadak doesn't want you
going that fast but they managed to do it aside from that you get a 99 watt
hour battery that will probably last you 1.5 hours they said it's eight but
that's uh optimistic to say the least also there's the legion 5i which gets a
slightly smaller battery and not quite the same TDP but at least it only starts
at 1449 instead of the two thousand
dollars for the seven dollar one very important thing though this is
apparently and I quote the world's most powerful AI tuned gaming laptop Lenovo
was very proud of the AI stuff that they put in here as if Gigabyte hasn't been
doing it for what three four years something like that maybe theirs works
better maybe it doesn't I don't know we'll need to get this in the lab to do a test
