Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “WEIRD Laptops are Coming…- CES 2023”.
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 Mouse 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 manage 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 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 in Asus 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 full, 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 tools. 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 iOS, 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 model 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.
