    Why does it say "Non-touch" under touchscreen? Yoga is supposed to be touch screen?

        haha my x1 carbon has touch screen and honestly never used even once lol. If the screen could fold all the way over i would.

    I just received the slightly higher spec version of this with the 5800HS creators edition CPU. Whilst not much faster, it runs at 35W rather than this model at 45W TPD. I haven't pushed the graphics at all. The OLED screen is lovely. I am happy and with purchase. I didn't require a touch screen.

  • ponchus on 04/11/2021 - 16:04
    +1

    Very tempted! However I'm still going to hold out for black Friday even though I don't think there will be much of a difference! Been considering a macbook air (Base). Even though it's not comparative in specs, the battery life, longevity of the machine, form factor and build quality might away me.

    • bunnybash on 04/11/2021 - 16:56
      +1

      FWIW I don't think you can go wrong with either, although if you game at all the Lenovo will be 100% better. I am an M1 MacBook Air user with the 8c GPU, it's so damn good - I kind of wish I could game still, and it can play CSGO and stuff like that alright I guess, but it's still not a gaming machine, mostly because nothing is optimised for M1.

      Anyways I have zero regrets from my purchase. It's the best laptop I've ever owned and used, and I've had just about all of them it feels haha.

      • JW888 on 04/11/2021 - 20:12

        You can do some light gaming on the new M1 Pro chips and easily hit +100fps on M1 Max on many demanding games (and that's only Rosetta, not native)

  • gollux on 04/11/2021 - 16:06

    Any thoughts on the comparison between this and the X1 Carbon gen 9?

    I've been holding out for a better prize on the carbon, but it's still around $2,100 with the i7 configuration. The Slim 7 Pro looks pretty competitive from what I'm seeing, so I'm tempted to jump now…

    • shiny1 on 04/11/2021 - 16:08

      Just to add more options into the mix, there's a touch screen with an even lighter chassis to release this month. It's the slim 7 carbon.

    • daft009 on 04/11/2021 - 16:12

      Carbon for me as better port selection and wwan option

      • gollux on 04/11/2021 - 16:15
        +1

        Yeah, the ports on the carbon do seem like its main advantage. I have the gen 6 at the moment, and having full sized hdmi built in is great.

            @daft009: haha i got gen 6 too, mine is going well no hassles at all. Was going to upgrade the hard drive. Debating between Lenovo Yoga carbon but hard to choose.

          I have seen some G6 sell for $850 on Fleabay. Not a bad changeover if you buy a Gen 9 for $2100. Factoring in 10% Fleabay fees or you can try Fb marketplace for no fees. I just brought a Gen 5 usb C for $450. Sold my Gen 1 for $150. Pretty happy for a $300 changeover. I had my Gen 1 for 5.5 years. Once you go carbon you would not want a yoga.

          • AussieMark on 19/11/2021 - 23:46

            @SoTightEcoLPI: thanks man yeah was thinking $800-900 would be a good sale. It's in perfect condition and never had an issue so think ill give it a go thanks

      • AussieMark on 04/11/2021 - 16:45

        @daft009 silly question but whats the difference between wwan and hotspotting your mobile etc or connecting to wifi

          +1

          Just 1 less thing to worry about.
          Wwan means the laptop will take its own SIM card. Very handy on the road visiting customers etc for me.. Not fumbling with hotspot etc

          • sackrace on 05/11/2021 - 08:57

            @daft009: Yeah have to admit hot spotting can be a bit spotty for me as well. If you're a road warrior a dedicated sim would be nice.

            • daft009 on 05/11/2021 - 09:25

              @sackrace: Yeah this was/is my first laptop with wwan. Never going back.

              So carbon X1 is my go-to replacement too in the future

              • sackrace on 05/11/2021 - 10:10

                @daft009: I'm a tight arse so got a e14g3, but I get the appeal. Sooner or later I'm going to work on a site that makes me yearn for WWAN.

                • AussieMark on 05/11/2021 - 10:21

                  @sackrace: Thanks for sharing guys. Is the reception or speed any faster with WWAN over hot spotting.

                  Or is it just the convenience factor

                  • daft009 on 05/11/2021 - 11:56

                    @AussieMark: For me it was more the convenience. It's been more than fast enough for emails, websites etc

                    Never really speed tested head to head but could easily get 20-70Mbps depending on where I was

                    The current carbon X1 g9 also has a 5G modem option

    How can this screen be HDR 500 when the screen is only 400nits?

    is 400nits the average brightness but it can reach peaks above 500nits?

    • mctubster on 04/11/2021 - 16:17

      I believe so … OLED TV's can overdrive for short periods of time to get localised brightness up over the max rated brightness, so assume that is the same here. My TV can do 800nits for sun glare, bright lights and it hurts at night!

    • Butt Scratcher on 05/11/2021 - 07:32

      Probably. It is quite common for TV's and monitors with oled to push quite a bit above their normal peak brightness for HDR content only

  • Spooke512 on 04/11/2021 - 16:12

    Is the other 7 Pro version worth the extra $100? Bluetooth + MX450 2GB + faster RAM + Faster processor. Code also applies to it.

    • bluecow on 04/11/2021 - 16:46

      Yes I reckon so. Dedicated video is a plus, as is faster memory and cooler CPU.

      • bunnybash on 04/11/2021 - 16:58

        Is the MX450 more powerful than the integrated AMD GPU?

        • shellshocked on 04/11/2021 - 17:57

          The MX450 is more powerful then the AMD Integrated GPU but it is dependent on the game. Some games the margin is in the single digits, whist in other games it could be 10 or 15 fps. This is also not clear cut and can vary depending on resolution and game settings. You should treat both as entry level GPUs.The main trade off with having the dGPU would be potentially less battery life.

        • greatlamp on 05/11/2021 - 08:20

          The MX450 doesn't support any of Nvidia's NVENC encoding, so it's purely for gaming (at which it is only a little better than an iGPU)

          • sackrace on 05/11/2021 - 08:59
            +1

            @greatlamp: Yeah I checked benchmarks for the MX450 and while it's better than the vega iGPUs it was not so much better that it actually changed use cases from memory.

  • mystarey on 04/11/2021 - 17:45

    So the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon range finally became available to order today, essentially the lighter weight version of this Pro model. Anyone able to check whether it's available on the Education portal and what they're asking for it? Been umming and aahing over these two models and the 300g that separates them for a while. The price difference is a little more than I'd like but to be fair that's comparing a deeply discounted educational price versus full ticket price.

    $2600 full price on the main site is pretty hefty, though it seems I have the choice of either using the 10% off newsletter code (WEL10222) or risking it on Shopback's upsized 16% cashback. The smart money might be waiting for Black Friday promos, but in doing so I imagine I'd miss the chance of a pre-Christmas delivery. Tough decision coming up.

    • doweyy on 04/11/2021 - 18:04
      +2

      That model is $1700.10 on the Student store, I have sent you a PM to get access into the education store to order if you wanted.

      • mystarey on 04/11/2021 - 18:25

        Incredible deal, especially since that pricing is for the 5800U with Premium Care ($2900 ticket price) instead of the 5600U and standard warranty that I'd have been perfectly content with (and for which I'd have been hopeful and accepting of a deal in the low $2000s).

        Reckon that's easily a good enough deal to get a post of its own instead of being hidden in the comments here. I mean obviously list prices aren't everything but the Pro deal here is about $500 off the listed price, and the Carbon is $1200 off. :o

        (Needless to say, I've already placed the order. Huge thanks for that.)

        • congo on 04/11/2021 - 18:56

          Link please of the one you are referring to

          • mystarey on 04/11/2021 - 19:10
            +1

            @congo: The link to the product on the normal store is in my original post above, but here it is again. The student store has the $2899 variant down to $1889, then the code EDUCOMM takes it down further to $1700. (No discount is applicable to the $2599 customisable version, but to repeat, the only differences between the two are the CPU and the warranty)

            Compared to the Pro version, the Carbon is about 300g lighter at 1.1kg vs 1.4kg, and sports the low-power U-series CPUs instead of the beefier H/HS-series ones used in the Pro. Not a concern for me as my only requirements in a laptop are that it's 14", AMD-powered for better efficiency, and has an OLED screen.

            As for education store access, I don't know the logistics of generating access for it and for all I know the code may be unique to each user, so do PM doweyy if you're interested.

        • ChipsChicky on 04/11/2021 - 20:29

          Whichone you ordered ? Integrated AMD GPU or MX450 ? And reason please.

          • mystarey on 04/11/2021 - 20:43

            @ChipsChicky: I have no reason to game on my laptop at all, so I've just gone with the integrated graphics. Not sure there was a choice anyway on the non-customisable version, but even if I was able to get it discounted it would have no value for me.

            • ChipsChicky on 05/11/2021 - 00:55

              @mystarey: The one coming down to $1700 is touchscreen or without touch ?

              • mystarey on 05/11/2021 - 02:28

                @ChipsChicky: Without. It's exactly as specced in the link above, since if you look at the $2899 variant the only option is to Add to Cart. Hopefully they add more variants over the coming days, since this is only the first day they've been available (and I've been checking daily for weeks).

                Personally it suits me fine since I used to have a T440s with touchscreen and I kept accidentally activating things with my knuckle whenever accessing the top row of keys. >.>

                • ChipsChicky on 05/11/2021 - 02:43

                  @mystarey: oh, so you were one of those 39 people viewing it currently, as per the site, from last few weeks ?

                  37 remaining to be discovered.

                  I will wait for touch screen as I feel its convenient sometimes to use calculator on screen. But will it consume more power if its touch screen ? Apart from that, I think integrated gpu (vs MX450) and 5800U (vs 5800H) is better option for low power consumption and quiet fan. @shellshocked plz confirm this ?

        • charmander on 06/11/2021 - 18:43

          Any idea if the non-touch model comes with a glossy or matte display?

          • mystarey on 06/11/2021 - 18:51

            @charmander: The spec sheet says glossy either way, be it for the touch or non-touch screen. Haven't seen a proper review of the unit but looking at a "quick look" video on YouTube seems to confirm this.

            @doweyy: Much appreciated, dude.
            I'm looking at the one with touch and the mx450 and I don't think I can configure your linked one. Sad days.
            Edit: Have access to Lenovo Education portal, not the Student Beans portal, which is why I couldn't find it.

        Hi @doweyy, could you pm me the edu access, please? Thank you.

        Hi @doweyy, Any chance you could PM me access to the edu store too? Son's 17" Lenovo just gave up the ghost.
        Much appreciated.

    Any advantage to go with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS Creator Edition for extra $300?
    Also, is there any way to remove Windows all together and select smaller 256Gb SSD? Canadian store seems to have those option.

      Not really. HS CPUs are binned for better power efficiency, and have a 35w TDP vs 45w TDP.

      • vovka on 04/11/2021 - 21:02

        so 9 5900HS will be more power efficient but not as performing as 7 5800H?
