![]() ![]() It took the X1 Yoga 13 minutes and 50 seconds to transcode a 4K video to 1080p. That’s about on par with the Dragonfly Max (558.6 MBps), the Spectre x360 (533.6 MBps), but noticeably better than the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (405.6 MBps) The 512GB SSD copied 25GB of files in 51 seconds for a rate of 531.3 MBps. That’s slightly ahead of the Intel Core i7-1185G7-powered HP Elite Dragonfly Max (5,195 / 1,514) and comfortably ahead of the Intel Core i7-1165G7-powered HP Spectre x360 14 (4,904 / 1,462). On Geekbench 5, a synthetic test that measures overall performance, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga returned a solid 5,447 multi-core score and a single-core score of 1,519. Even with more than two dozen tabs open and a video playing on the computer, I noticed no lag at all. With a Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD, our review configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 6) was more than powerful enough for any productivity task. The HP Spectre x360’s stylus, for example, attaches to its side via magnets, which makes it a bit easier to knock off and lose. Most other 2-in-1s use larger stylii that look and feel more like traditional pens, but have to be stored less elegantly. The X1 Yoga comes with a small stylus that lives in a tiny “garage” on the right side of the laptop when you’re not using it. The feel is really tight and sturdy and made me feel like I could do this thousands of times, without loosening it. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 6) (14-inch 256GB) at Walmart for $849.99Īs you might expect from a 2-in-1, the display uses a pair of small hinges to bend back 180 degrees.Unlike on some previous models, the keyboard’s keys match the gray colorway. However, the 2-in-1’s chassis is made of “storm gray” aluminum rather than black magnesium and carbon fiber you find on ThinkPads like the X1 Carbon. The webcam is compatible with Windows Hello face login.The ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 6) has many of the common design elements that are common on high-end Lenovo business laptops: the red TrackPoint pointing stick, the power light that sits above the i in the ThinkPad logo and the gently-recessed keyboard tray. The webcam has standard image quality, but the physical ThinkShutter system ( video demo) helps ensure privacy and maximize security when you shut the camera lens. In short, it is a near-perfect ultralight convertible 14-inch laptop. Unlike most competitors, the X1 Yoga has a full-size HDMI output, and the integrated e-Pen might push the purchase decision over the edge if you’re into notes or sketching. ![]() All we can ask for now is a discrete GPU, even a modest one. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga is better than ever, and I’m very impressed with how this 6th-gen came out. It is as if Lenovo was going after users who like MacBook, XPS13, MateBook type designs, and I have to say that this is very convincing. It is as compact and almost as light as the X1 Carbon but with a 360 convertible form-factor, an integrated pen, and an Aluminum chassis that some people prefer over the classic ThinkPad black paint. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen6 is a great thin & light business laptop. We haven’t measured it for this laptop because our screen isn’t 4K, but that’s what we typically see on various laptops. I’ll also remind you that having a 4K display would greatly tax the battery life, reducing it by 20%-30%. Ours is a 65W charger, and with it, we measured a respectable fast-charge speed, again on par with the new X1 Carbon but slightly slower than the X1 Yoga Gen5. ![]() The 57Wh battery capacity is high in relation to the size/weight of the laptop, and we got 10h13mn of battery life in the continuous office productivity test (110 NITs brightness, “best battery life” power settings).ĭepending on your CPU configuration, the laptop would ship with power supplies ranging from 45W to 65W. ![]()
