Thanks again for the great live unboxing as usual!!!
it will be really great if you add to your reviews a section, where you test laptops for Linux support, to make sure all features are available and there's no overheating or driver problems. Very useful for professionals who use Linux. Regards
Do you like OLEDs more or miniLEDs for laptop screens?
I've had this exact laptop for almost a week now. Here are some of my thoughts for anyone thinking of buying one. pros are amazing performance for the size, the screen is wonderful, I absolutely love the keyboard and it's generally quite. My personal cons are I wish it was a bit slimmer, fans are noticeably high pitched when running at slow speeds but that's not a problem while there running at full speed and the trackpad is huge but the click kinda feels cheap to me. Battery life isn't great either(5 hours at best for my use)but I expected that. My dream laptop would be as slim as possible and have a haptic touchpad but most importantly is the CPU performance (I don't really care about gpu). I already tried the non pro slim 9i from last year with the i7 1280p but the CPU would slow down a bit if I had too many things going at once. I will likely keep this because I don't know if any better options but If anyone has any other recommendations I would appreciate it.
What were your comments saying?
you should buy a macbook then, if you dont care about gpu
Hi, can you also do performance on battery to check the performance drop between the laptop plugged in and on battery in your full your full review? Thanks in advance
How is the battery life? I see it’s EVO certified but does it get 8 hours + for daily normal tasks such as office and maybe a bit of coding and Netflix?
Great laptop and have ordered it. Thanks for the content. Q: Can you replace the SSD in this laptop to a 2TB or even a double sided 4TB m.2 2280 module?
Andrew, do you if you can get 1,200 nits in SD. I use my laptop for mostly MS Office, but I need it to be bright for outdoor use. thx
Great job!
I ordered mine yesterday, I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks for this 🙌
you get yours yet, mine came in from best buy yesterday. have to return after one day.
@reflectionrecon no I haven't gotten mine yet, I have to wait until September 7th supposedly directly from Lenovo. It sucks 😕
@@reflectionrecon Why?
Flickering badly
@@user-ts1xj4xj1p bummer
Would you say the lackluster multi core performance from the slim pro 7 will be fixed with the newly available zen 4 Ryzen 7 7840HS version? Considering that vs the slim pro 9i but am concerned about the 9is lackluster battery life.(engineering student). On paper looks like it could actually be a more powerful chip than the 13705H in the 9i’s 14.5” model all while being $400 cheaper.
The one I bought for work. But i9+32gb+4060+not mini led. Amazing laptop and very happy so far. It's quality is outstanding
how is your screen, Mine is very nice but has a brightness timing thing gone on?
Is this the one with 120hz ips display? Hope the battery life on this one is better than on the mini led
You said you are using a 16-inch lenovo.... After these few weeks, what can you say? Is it worth the price? I work mainly in Adobe and do graphics, I was thinking about the rtx 4070 version.
My Yoga pro 9i 14 got BDoS 3 times in 2 week, and battery draining while gaming even when its charging, already replace the MB and SSD (warranty) and then the fan & monitor died but the power lamp and charging lamp still on. I'm asking to get replacement unit to Lenovo
Looking at Notebookcheck's review, it seems that the mini-LED screen is using a lot of battery. If it were me, I would go for the IPS panel instead.
Yea Mini LED uses more power
This unit ships with a 140watt type c charger but the spec for the TB4 ports is only support for PD 3.0 @ 100watt. Has anyone tried this with a more compact GaN 140watt PD 3.1 charger?
Wow, 1200 nits, even 800nits is great under sunlight or in outdoors.
Is there Gsync?
Yoga Slim 9i vs Yoga 9i 8 gen vs Slim Pro 9i which one to go for ? my use case is Normal office work and occasional light gaming and media consumption
lenovo yoga 9i is best you litrelly get 2x battery compared to others and best audio and loudness among all of them
thumbs up if you think all laptops should have 32GB RAM minimum in 2023
Obviously.
Get a PC
@@iagree7388 A Laptop is a PC, just a more portable one. 8GB should be illegal and banned by the Geneva Convention, 16GB has been a "high spec" and maximum for a long time, and RAM is now soldered onto motherboards and can't be upgraded in a lot of models. Also, it doesn't cost that much to go from 16 to 32, it's like couch money.
I agree. I got my 2x32GB sticks for just $100.
Lowest spec is 16gb i7 13705h
Could you do the sound tests without dolby atmos? dolby is basically equalizer with pimped up frequencies that makes an illusion of better sound if played on lower quality speakers (like laptop speakers). To see how the speaker really plays you need to turn it off. Someone may say that they doesn't care if the end result is fine but once you connect high quality earphones/headphones you will be able to hear unpleasant distortions caused by pimped up frequencies. Also when you install linux you have no dolby atmos so for linux users sound tests with dolby atmos are useless.
Depending on how it’s implemented, it shouldn’t affect the audio on headphones because it’s tuned for the speakers. This could be and probably is user error in modifying virtual surround on the laptop when switching listening medium.
@@neil_surya If you have turned on dolby atmos while having headphones on you still hear their effects. You either need to turn it off or if it exists search for the setting to apply the effect only on speakers (i don't know if it's there as I don't use dolby atmos anymore). Maybe it's fixed by now. However if you can set it off for other devices it doesn't change a thing. It's still bad speakers masked by pimping up frequencies. You can download foobar or other music player and play with settings and frequencies for similar effect. That shouldn't count for speaker quality. If I would give you trash speakers and you didn't like it and I would say to you just download equalizer and pimp up some bass and higher frequencies... you would call me crazy. But that's what dolby atmos does.
Cable management needs some more attention
Would you recommend 14” or 16” version of this for engineering student?
14 definately, but id suggest to go for the slim pro 7 with the amd zen 4 cpu coming soon. itll have much better battery with almost the same or better performance. I myself am going in for engr this year so therefore have done some research
@@rjunmehta 16" is more convenient because of the screen estate in my opinion
@@rjunmehta interesting, I hadn’t seen that the 7840hs version had come out for that. Is it only being 16gb ram and 350 nit display of concern to you? Other than that the much cheaper price tag and stellar battery life are certainly attractive.
@@ryanbeaudoin6639 yeah, which is why im waiting for another 20days before uni actually starts in hope that they release their 32/1tb version which they have listed on SOME of their websites(tho ive never seen it for sale anywhere)(can find it if you search Lenovo slim pro 7 gen 8 - has the r7 7840hs and 4050) The display doesn't really concern me given ill get a matt screen guard anyway (cause I don't want the glossy) and the 90hz instead of higher refresh rate will help with battery life
What do you use most, Mac or windows?
I use both , it just depends on the task
Do a T14 2023 Lenovo intel with oled
When is the review of dell xps 13 plus 9320 (2023)?
Next
Can you also please do the new gen 8 lenovo slim pro 7
Already did that one. kzhead.info/sun/rZWkg62Oinauop8/bejne.html
I just don't like the proprietary charger
This has usb c charger
Nope, Samsung is the thinnest ever
screen wobbles so much on Samsung, maybe it was too thin - at least the screen is too thin and fragile in my opinion
