Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 4 review: So metal

Lenovo mixed things up with the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 4, swapping out the usual magnesium alloy and carbon fiber chassis with aluminum. That makes the 360-degree 2-in-1 not only robust on paper thanks to its MIL-STD-810g testing, but also solid in hand....

Unique aesthetic for a ThinkPad ; Superior build quality ; Lovely 4K display with HDR ; Clear audio from speakers

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 4 gives up plastic for cold, hard metal

ThinkPad X1 Yoga review (2018): Flexibility comes at a cost

The ThinkPad X1 Yoga is meant for business users who want something more than a traditional laptop. It's different modes are genuinely useful, but you'll pay for that with extra weight.

More useful than a traditional laptop ; Great battery life ; Great keyboard and touchpad

Heavier than the Carbon X1 ; HDR screen is extra

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 2) Review

If you're a ThinkPad fan and want a 2-n-1, buy this one – if not, there are other, better options

Solid build quality ; Excellent battery life ; Good keyboard, touchpad, and TrackPoint input ; Thin and light for a 14-inch 2-in-1

Expensive ; 360-degree swivel action is loud and harsh ; Full HD display is only average

Lenovo's Thinkpad X1 Yoga will make you want OLED everywhere

The OLED edition of Lenovo's X1 Yoga makes a good argument for moving past LCD screens. Its display is bright and vibrant, but you'll pay a premium for the privilege of using it.

Incredible OLED screen ; Durable and portable design ; Great keyboard

Expensive compared to LCD models ; Meager battery life ; Stylus is uncomfortable

The Thinkpad X1 Yoga is a reminder that OLED isn't just bright and bold, it's a transformative display technology. Now if only it weren't so expensive.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga review: tomorrow's display in yesterday's laptop

I haven't used a Lenovo laptop as my main computer for years. In fact, the last time I touched a Lenovo laptop for more than a few hours was when I used to manage a fleet of them in a corporate...

Beautiful OLED display ; Chiclet keyboard ; Light and portable

Unreliable battery life ; Aging, boring design ; Unnecessary nub and trackpad buttons

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga (OLED)

OLED technology and a higher screen resolution hike up the price of this version of Lenovo's Thinkpad X1 Yoga, but this business convertible performs well, boasts plenty of features, and now looks even better.

The OLED display is vibrant, crisp, and a first for the industry. Convertible design is lightweight and durable. Comfortable keyboard. Built-in stylus.

Expensive. OLED display decreases battery life. No USB-C or Ethernet ports.

Conclusion The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga with an OLED display offers the same top-notch design, functionality, and performance as the original Editors' Choice X1 Yoga. The internal components also received an upgrade, so it's definitely more expensive,...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga review: This 2-in-1's OLED screen will color your computing world

With an OLED display and an NVMe SSD, the Lenovo X1 Yoga delivers rich colors and top-notch performance.

Great performance ; Excellent keyboard, clickpad, and eraserhead

Shipped without proper NVMe SSD driver

The X1 Yoga belongs on anyone's list for the latest and greatest. Sure, we'd have liked to see the inclusion of USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3, but the combination of the X1 Yoga’s OLED display and NVMe SSD (plus excellent keyboard, clickpad, and eraserhead)...

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Review: OLED and LCD Tested

Earlier this year at CES , Lenovo took the wraps off their latest lineup of premium business class notebooks, and they revamped the X1 lineup completely. Originally the X1 was just the X1 Carbon notebook, but Lenovo has decided to expand the X1 series...

Overall, the X1 Yoga is a good convertible. Lenovo has managed to make it thinner and lighter than the original X1 Carbon, yet still offer the versatility of the Yoga hinge. It's a solid offering from Lenovo. If thin, light, convertible, and...
