It's wonderful to have a real reviewer and not just a gamer/spec-sheet reader! I didn't know the 4K touchscreen on the P1 is matte versus glossy on the X1 Extreme: matte's what I want. I'm also glad you noted the lack of visible texture on the P1's screen: I've read complaints that the touch surface on the X1 Extreme is visible. Thank you, Lisa!
@@circuitdotlt You can swap FN key with CTRL in BIOS or lenovo thinkvantage software (but I'm agree, it's dumb). I personaly like the fact that there's no numpad for aestethics and most the time I work with external monitor and external keyboard anyway. Also, lenovo has something for "numpad lovers", T5xx series and P53 (or something). This P1 is like more "pro" version of X1 extreme which is direct competitor for MacBook Pro (same thing with Dell's XPS "precision" and HP Zbook "Studio"). I'd like to see thicker powerfull 14 inch workstation for myslef, maybe Ryzen M4800u bring something like that in the future.
@@pd5156 yes you can swap Fn/Ctrl (but then you end up with incorrect markings on the keys). Numpad function, however, is a different issue with all lenovos. By numpad I mean the second function of JKLUIO keys. Most HPs and DELLs have them. No idea why lenovo does not include this, when there is zero extra cost. Or do they have to pay royalties to someone for including the feature??
I've been shopping for a new laptop for a couple of days. My eyes are burning from going through uninformative--downright ignorant, in many cases--videos and blog posts. I just stumbled upon your videos and they are a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
I still have my 2015 Lenovo i5 Thinkpad T450s & use it every single day for hours on end. Havent had any issues with it & ive actually dropped it from hip height 2 times which is crazy but it just got scratched nothing broke. I also play many games like League of Legends, DOTA, Oxygen Not Included, Rimworld, Stardew Valley, CS GO, WoW etc & it runs great. Definitely getting another Thinkpad after this one! I think 5 years is enough & I got my money's worth :)
Thinkpads are legendary for their keyboards, but the P1 and X1 extreme gen 2 have a keyboard defect that cannot be understated. After trying 3 different devices, I gave up trying to use it. You have to press directly in the center of the key to register a press, and even then, it misses a substantial number of key strokes. Lenovo forums are full of reports and failed attempts to fix it.
Thanks for the great reviews, Lisa! In the review of the 4k OLED MATTE screen (which sounds awesome!) In this video I'm seeing some crosshatch X shaped diagonal noise come and go in almost every photo that loads- does that happen in person, or is that camera/youtube compression playing tricks on me? I see some mention of this issue on the lenovo forums, but this screen does seem to have all the features i'd want! Thanks!
Matte, 180 degree hinge and OLED touch screen! Making me jealous, looking forward to this hitting the used markets in the coming years. Can't justify upgrading my XPS 7590 OLED yet!
@@RaphaelPeirone I've been marveling at the anti reflective coating on the Dell and how much of a game changer it is over any other OLED screen I've had. But Matte would be even better!
I bought a X1 Extreme and + the thermal throttling is pretty horrific compared to other notebooks + the keyboard has typing issues (big thread on Lenovo forums, no solution on Lenovos side... + the fans spin up pretty loud + My oled screen is REALLY unevenly lit especially showing grey content and on lower brightness levels. + the Batterylife with my OLED is 4 Hours MAX.... Not sure how 7h are even possible there with a xeon processor and Quadro Graphics. The battery capacity was never designed for a 4K OLED screen as its the same as GEN 1 had without an OLED option. + on 1:05 i can see the screen being very glossy. So only the inner layer isnt shiny? For me this product is bad. They put the next gen Intel CPUs in a thermal design of the older generation. This and they didnt even fix the bios issues the device has with that Im not really happy even if i try cause other factors are really nice on this machine... Guess it never left the prototyping space and got pushed out with no thoughts spend....
While Lenovo did fuck up here, why did you think such a thin form factor laptop could cool those specs? It's their fault for selling it, but it's also your fault for buying it. Stupidity all around.
Intel XTU is your friend, undervolt it to avoid thermal and power throtling. (I get 60fps in witcher 3 on mid-high settings and max 70C) Typing issues will be solved by disabling that hybrid sleep or fast sleep win feature. Fans could be controlled from Vantage app. Xeon itself will get you much worse battery life, but not as much as that 4k display, so 4h with that spec is not that bad...

This is the gen 1 I think, a lot of the issue with gen 1 have been solved in gen 2. My fans are rarely loud, only when they should. Thermal throttling is a problem with all laptops of this size, I haven't seen one reviewed that does much better and that includes Macbooks
Hi Lisa, thanks for the review. I've just bought this machine, and with the touch screen I really feel the need of a pen! The official website suggest to buy the pro pen but on your review you are actually using another model...is it the 4x80h34887 version, or other? Many thanks and congrants for the channel!
I already know what laptop I want, but this woman is just entertaining. I don’t know what she saying I just need to know what computers can handle sims.
I bought one when they still had the anniversary promo going for $1,636.08. Got the i9 with 16gb ram, 512 SSD. I wanted long battery life so I chose the 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) display. I got it mainly for programming, a little bit of an overkill, but boy this machine is blazing fast. It feels durable, ruggedized and light at the same time. One of the few problems I have is the fun noise, it kicks in once in a while when you are not even charging it and running light applications, and it comes on regularly when charging. Another problem is the back lit keyboard, the lights bleeds through the gaps around the keys and can be very uncomfortable to use when the light is on; I do touch typing so I can do without the light. The last one is the heat. If you normally put your laptop on your lab then the head can be a problem, especially when charging. If you are buying one, I will advice you install the browser extension honey, it will get you all the coupons that apply, and Lenovo have quite a lot of them. All in all, I love it because of how fast and steady it is.
@@lloydgoodman1636 I got this one: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, 500 nits, anti-glare with Dolby Vision™ HDR 400. The brightness is beyond expectation and the colors are rich. Like I said, I wanted my battery to last so I didn't want to the OLED one.
Is it a *true* 4K OLED matte display? Lenovo’s own website doesn’t list “anti-glare” as a spec for the 4K OLED panel for both the X1 and P1. One one forum I saw an owner posted that it is a glossy display that is almost matte. Is the X1 the same? I was about to get an X1 4K but if the panel is different on the P1 and is more matte, then my decision has been made.
I feel like something from the thinkpad lineup is my only option in 2020. Ports, quality keyboard, a screen that doesn’t double as a mirror/smudge magnet, and a non touch option are all huge factors for me. I feel like laptops are moving more towards media devices than something to work on and that erks me. Me: Thinkpad x1 carbon 7th gen bootcamp instructor by night web dev by day
I wouldn’t recommend getting the i9 in most “thin and light” laptops. The cooling just isn’t there in many laptops so the performance gain wouldn’t be worth the cost of the i9. And the longevity of the i9 when it’s running hot all the time would be questionable.
Just noticed at 3:20 that there seem to be about 7 dead pixels on the screen! I hope it's debris, not pixels, although the bottom right one is persistent during the whole discussion on the OLED screen. Btw Lisa, still waiting for a reply about the OLED matte option; would really appreciate it, thanks!
I would've seriously considered this laptop if it had LTE capabilities. The look of it sucks imo, but the device is a good one, so being able to use it anywhere would've been amazing.
Hi Lisa... will you do an XPS 13 2020 review soon? Would mainly like to know if the bottom firing speakers on the 2020 sound as clear in the high frequencies compared to previous generations which had the speakers on the sides and where pretty good imo. Normally bottom firing speakers are not good for clarity. Would be nice to get a reply. Thanks.
Love your videos. So much good information. I was hoping to get your advice. I’m looking for a laptop that I’ll use exclusively for day trading stocks. While at home I plan to hook 3 external monitors to it. Would you recommend the p1 or x1 extreme. I’m generally a Mac person so all of this is kind of over my head :-/ thanks in advance
I have this one from the Lenovo xmas sale. 4k version. It would been better if I went with the 1080 version. 4k screen is too power hungry. But happy with it. Already expanded with a second 1T ssd'. I do heavy programming.
Burn-in may still be an factor with OLED displays - no manufacturer including Lenovo is saying how they’ve solved this issue. So I would stick with an IPS display if longevity is important to you and you don’t need the features that come with an OLED one.
simple question, if something happen with the keyboard, do we really need to replace the whole palmrest, or at least remove the whole palmrest which is pretty much have to completely dissasembly the unit only to replace the keyboard? Whats on your mind Lenovo????
The $4500 model is on sale for $2200 with 3 year warranty.... kinda wanna pull the trigger on this for my next 4 years in architecture left but hesitant only because there might be something better out there. Any advice y’all?
How many PCIe Lanes are allocated to the thunderbolt? And can the HDMI be used as HDMI in? And what's the refresh rate? I'd love to know if it has pwm flickering
Love how upgradable this is, still sad that neither intel, nor AMD sell socketed laptop CPUs anymore, this would have been the perfect candidate for one of those: buy with an i5 now, upgrade to i7 or i9 later.
@@kevinyu3863 yeah, all laptop CPUs are soldered now, haswell was the very last generation to have socketed models. Some Chinese manufacturers are making desktop socket equipped laptops, but they're a niche and very thick and heavy.
Thank you so much for this review. You do a great job of sticking to the point and no fluff. Two questions. One relevant, the other not so much. Would you know if the two thunderbolt 3 ports are each four-lane? I'd like to get this laptop but I need one that can drive two 5k displays. Also, that's a pretty nice mic you have. Can you share what brand and model it is?
Is the only benefit of a Xeon CPU in a laptop the use of ECC memory? If only another makes would have ECC support on all CPUs, not only the top tier... hmm
if i just want the laptop for watching 4k videos and web browsing will a i5 work with 4k or should i get a i7/i10 i don’t want to watch 4k videos and have it buffering . any thoughts?
4k on a laptop is pointless, the screen is too small to see the high resolution. You need to plug it into an external monitor to get the benefit of 4k resolution. Over at Linus Tech Tips they show that the human eye can't tell the difference between a 4k laptop and a 1080p laptop unless you move it to within 18 inches of your face and no one uses their laptops only 18 inches away from their face. Either way, any configuration on these laptops will be fine to watch 4k videos. Your eyes just won't see the benefit.
i think on a 15.5" laptop display one can really see the difference between 1080 and 4k. simply look at some movies with nature. even on a surface pro (12.3") one can see the difference.
@@tomswan3401 You would have to have identical laptops side by side, one with 4k and one with 1080p to try to determine that. Short of having a direct comparison, there's no way to tell what differences you're actually perceiving. For example, a Surface laptop might saturate the colors more of have a deeper HDR toning and you could mistake that with seeing the difference between 1080p and 4k. Also with video, compression kicks in. A 4k video is less compressed. So you might be responding to compression reduction and not an increase in pixels. The comparison video you use would have to be non compressed 1080p and non compressed 4k on the exact same laptop side by side.
I5 would be good enough, just remember to install a h.264 encoder instead of vp8/9. H.264 encoding will use the GPU instead of the CPU to encode videos. Vp8/9 encoding uses CPU power to encode videos which is ineffective. You can download h.264 video encoding Software on chrome store
I'm looking for a quiet [fanless] windows 10 tablet that uses very little power and is about 10inch screen that is easy to read on the screen. I need it to run 24/7 with only the screen off, but doing minor background processing that will read/write to the harddrive often. but occasionally i'd like to use it to do a little internet browsing and light reading. can't be less than 64gb harddrive and not less than 2gb ram. It can be an older tablet.. probably no older than a year 2012 model, because i don't need it to do powerful stuff, nor write/draw on the screen... so basic finger recognition is fine... doesn't have to have a pen. I don't want to spend more than 200$ for it but would prefer to spend around 100$.. perhaps USED on ebay. I see all kinds of tablets on ebay that are cheap but i can't tell if they are quiet and low powered like i need.
This notebook (an his brother "X1 Extreme Gen" has a serious issue with the keyboard. It's constantly missing keystrokes because very bad quality and software problems. Lenovo hasn't provide a fix for months. I still having this issue after 4 months. Check Lenovo's official support forums. Don't buy it.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a newish PC (3 years old or newer) that can run Ubuntu or Linux Mint fairly well that has a nice high rez display and has at least 8gb of Ram?
theWanderer521 It’s a firmware issue, not a hardware issue, and it’s Intel’s fault as always, *not* Lenovo’s. Lenovo has released a firmware patch that fixes the problem.
It shouldn't if Intel's mitigation firmware is to be trusted: dead controllers won't resurrect, but they should be the last ones to die of the faulty firmware
You don't realize that not 100% of CPUs can run at the advertised speed while under-volted. It's like those 'overclocking guides' where they take one CPU and say 'you should be able to hit X.X to X.X GHz easy'... In actuality there are many (many) CPUs that require that much voltage to run as advertised and a bunch of people who get angry when their product doesn't meet some arbitrary expectation of running outside of spec (overclocked or under-volted).
Lenovo has the worst customer service on the planet. I just got a first hand taste of it! Got the new x1 gen 2 and it wouldn't boot up after 10 days. Things happen (I didn't care at the time) so I sent it to service thinking it will take 6 business days as they claim, but instead they said its going to take up to 8-12 weeks to fix!! I decided to return it!! Now they wont give me back the laptop from the repair center (their base repair center) so I can send it in for a refund to lenovo. Logically speaking, you would think they can just take the laptop from the repair center themselves and do the return for the customer. No they cant!! I have to keep calling them and get New RMA's because they expire. I call once every 9 days to extend my return request due to the repair center not giving back my laptop. I have to talk to a new rep and explain the story every time. I've spent more time on the phone with Lenovo than using their product. I know you probably get paid by Lenovo and other companies, get that money!! not knocking the hustle but you should do reviews on the support side! Like give me real info on what happens if things weren't to work. I got a new Dell XPS 15 for my nephew and wow a wold of difference on support and talking to people! In the interim I am using a new surface pro 7 and wow this little thing gets the job done!
Believe it or not there are many of us who think all the other laptops look like crap. Lenovo is the only brand who has our back with a design us nerds like much more than the sleek and futuristic stuff being put out by other brands. We want our laptops ugly and powerful, damnit!
Lenovo still making garbage laptops in 2020. Plastic bodys that look and feel cheap. Small trackpads Finger print sensor is located in the worst spot. Why are the speakers not front facing? Thick bezels. OVERPRICED This is why i will never buy a lenovo.

Burn-in may still be an factor with OLED displays - no manufacturer including Lenovo is saying how they’ve solved this issue. So I would stick with an IPS display if longevity is important to you and you don’t need the features that come with an OLED one.
Could you also take a look at the yoga S740.

How does this one compare to the P53?
simple question, if something happen with the keyboard, do we really need to replace the whole palmrest, or at least remove the whole palmrest which is pretty much have to completely dissasembly the unit only to replace the keyboard? Whats on your mind Lenovo????
The $4500 model is on sale for $2200 with 3 year warranty.... kinda wanna pull the trigger on this for my next 4 years in architecture left but hesitant only because there might be something better out there. Any advice y’all?
How many PCIe Lanes are allocated to the thunderbolt? And can the HDMI be used as HDMI in?
And what's the refresh rate? I'd love to know if it has pwm flickering
Love how upgradable this is, still sad that neither intel, nor AMD sell socketed laptop CPUs anymore, this would have been the perfect candidate for one of those: buy with an i5 now, upgrade to i7 or i9 later.
Francesco Barbieri it is soldered?
@@kevinyu3863 yeah, all laptop CPUs are soldered now, haswell was the very last generation to have socketed models. Some Chinese manufacturers are making desktop socket equipped laptops, but they're a niche and very thick and heavy.
Francesco Barbieri pretty sure thinkpad is still upgradable
@@kevinyu3863 the CPU isn't
Thank you so much for this review. You do a great job of sticking to the point and no fluff. Two questions. One relevant, the other not so much. Would you know if the two thunderbolt 3 ports are each four-lane? I'd like to get this laptop but I need one that can drive two 5k displays. Also, that's a pretty nice mic you have. Can you share what brand and model it is?
How about alianware m15 r3 vs thinkpad p1gen 3 which one better ????
Is the only benefit of a Xeon CPU in a laptop the use of ECC memory? If only another makes would have ECC support on all CPUs, not only the top tier... hmm
I went to a computer science collage and we got the first shipment of P1 gen 2. I ended up failing out hut got to keep the laptop. :)
Are all P1 Gen2 compitible with Pen? or only with touch display?
This chassis and the ports is the same as the X1 Extreme (gen 2)
Does the Xeon version bring any software included?
Which one should I buy x1 xtreme or p1
Why hasn't anyone done the Thinkpad 11e 5th Gen!
Is this laptop touchscreen?
Please review p14s
What is that keyboard manager program?
we want a thinkpad X12 !!!!!!!!! Nothing else !!!!

Does hp offer 15 '' spectre with narrow bezels as it does on early 2020 13.3'' spectre laptops?
Usman Ali yes but not yet, it comes out for sale over the next couple months some time
hmmm, my p1 gen2 oled is not matte, I think, still a little bit glossy

Plz review Lenovo Ideapad s540
these days it is available for 1839$ with 512gb 9750h 16gb ram t1000 gpu best if anyone is looking for new 13inch mbp with 10th gen i5 for 1800$
Anyone here got an E14?
I like this but there is no better screen than mbp out there.
Remind me when thinkpads get rid off doc station port.
Dat screen though. If I could get that on the carbon...
Maybe Louis Rossman will finally upgrade .
Ha!
if i just want the laptop for watching 4k videos and web browsing will a i5 work with 4k or should i get a i7/i10 i don’t want to watch 4k videos and have it buffering . any thoughts?
4k on a laptop is pointless, the screen is too small to see the high resolution. You need to plug it into an external monitor to get the benefit of 4k resolution. Over at Linus Tech Tips they show that the human eye can't tell the difference between a 4k laptop and a 1080p laptop unless you move it to within 18 inches of your face and no one uses their laptops only 18 inches away from their face. Either way, any configuration on these laptops will be fine to watch 4k videos. Your eyes just won't see the benefit.
i think on a 15.5" laptop display one can really see the difference between 1080 and 4k. simply look at some movies with nature. even on a surface pro (12.3") one can see the difference.
@@tomswan3401 You would have to have identical laptops side by side, one with 4k and one with 1080p to try to determine that. Short of having a direct comparison, there's no way to tell what differences you're actually perceiving. For example, a Surface laptop might saturate the colors more of have a deeper HDR toning and you could mistake that with seeing the difference between 1080p and 4k. Also with video, compression kicks in. A 4k video is less compressed. So you might be responding to compression reduction and not an increase in pixels. The comparison video you use would have to be non compressed 1080p and non compressed 4k on the exact same laptop side by side.
I5 would be good enough, just remember to install a h.264 encoder instead of vp8/9. H.264 encoding will use the GPU instead of the CPU to encode videos. Vp8/9 encoding uses CPU power to encode videos which is ineffective. You can download h.264 video encoding Software on chrome store
I'm looking for a quiet [fanless] windows 10 tablet that uses very little power and is about 10inch screen that is easy to read on the screen. I need it to run 24/7 with only the screen off, but doing minor background processing that will read/write to the harddrive often. but occasionally i'd like to use it to do a little internet browsing and light reading. can't be less than 64gb harddrive and not less than 2gb ram.
It can be an older tablet.. probably no older than a year 2012 model, because i don't need it to do powerful stuff, nor write/draw on the screen... so basic finger recognition is fine... doesn't have to have a pen.
I don't want to spend more than 200$ for it but would prefer to spend around 100$.. perhaps USED on ebay.
I see all kinds of tablets on ebay that are cheap but i can't tell if they are quiet and low powered like i need.
maybe some acer older laptops.

This notebook (an his brother "X1 Extreme Gen" has a serious issue with the keyboard. It's constantly missing keystrokes because very bad quality and software problems. Lenovo hasn't provide a fix for months. I still having this issue after 4 months. Check Lenovo's official support forums. Don't buy it.
Are t580 any good? i5 8 series intel, 8 gb ram and 512 memory
I think this config is a bit on the weak side to be honest.
probably look if you can open thinkpad and can upgrade ram and ssd.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a newish PC (3 years old or newer) that can run Ubuntu or Linux Mint fairly well that has a nice high rez display and has at least 8gb of Ram?
i think dell has a series of laptops sold directly with ubuntu. maybe some older models from that series. from the dell homepage.
We need 240hz thinkpads!
A Review of the new L13 Yoga would be nice.
Matte touch screen!!!!!
Only woman i enjoy listening talking about electronics.
I'll wait for Ryzen thinkpad .
is this affected with their recent USB C defects...read online that new products are plagued with port issues
theWanderer521 It’s a firmware issue, not a hardware issue, and it’s Intel’s fault as always, *not* Lenovo’s. Lenovo has released a firmware patch that fixes the problem.
It shouldn't if Intel's mitigation firmware is to be trusted: dead controllers won't resurrect, but they should be the last ones to die of the faulty firmware
I don't think Extreme models are affected by that. They use different ports.
9:23 they just use a black tape to hold the WiFi card’s extended wire? Not a pro grade design on a pro machine
non removable battery
I wish manufacturers would have cpu's undervolted out of the box.
Why? Is throttlestop hard? I rather have control.
You don't realize that not 100% of CPUs can run at the advertised speed while under-volted.
It's like those 'overclocking guides' where they take one CPU and say 'you should be able to hit X.X to X.X GHz easy'...
In actuality there are many (many) CPUs that require that much voltage to run as advertised and a bunch of people who get angry when their product doesn't meet some arbitrary expectation of running outside of spec (overclocked or under-volted).
@@tim3172 That might be true but the cpu's perform better while maintaining lower temps through much benchmarking from me and many others.
aw, no anime shirt this time :(
Lenovo has the worst customer service on the planet. I just got a first hand taste of it! Got the new x1 gen 2 and it wouldn't boot up after 10 days. Things happen (I didn't care at the time) so I sent it to service thinking it will take 6 business days as they claim, but instead they said its going to take up to 8-12 weeks to fix!! I decided to return it!! Now they wont give me back the laptop from the repair center (their base repair center) so I can send it in for a refund to lenovo. Logically speaking, you would think they can just take the laptop from the repair center themselves and do the return for the customer. No they cant!! I have to keep calling them and get New RMA's because they expire. I call once every 9 days to extend my return request due to the repair center not giving back my laptop. I have to talk to a new rep and explain the story every time. I've spent more time on the phone with Lenovo than using their product.
I know you probably get paid by Lenovo and other companies, get that money!! not knocking the hustle but you should do reviews on the support side! Like give me real info on what happens if things weren't to work. I got a new Dell XPS 15 for my nephew and wow a wold of difference on support and talking to people! In the interim I am using a new surface pro 7 and wow this little thing gets the job done!
I swear Lenovo has a weird kink for pc's that look like their from the 2010's that are absolute beasts m :/
Look up the history of the Thinkpad homie, this is an old IBM design that Lenovo has slightly updated throughout the years.
Believe it or not there are many of us who think all the other laptops look like crap. Lenovo is the only brand who has our back with a design us nerds like much more than the sleek and futuristic stuff being put out by other brands. We want our laptops ugly and powerful, damnit!
Yup, Rectangular and black and no asinine RGB 'FX aimed at kids...
@@sdushdiu Agreed. RGB is embarrassing. In 5 or 10 years people are going to look back on RGB and laugh.
You reminded me of my grandma
This laptop is for designing elevators
Lenovo still making garbage laptops in 2020.
Plastic bodys that look and feel cheap.
Small trackpads
Finger print sensor is located in the worst spot.
Why are the speakers not front facing?
Thick bezels.
OVERPRICED
This is why i will never buy a lenovo.
eww it runs windows. Thinkpads were awesome sometime back. They used to run elegently Free BSD and Linux. Now, they come with shitty windows.
Touch Matte Bright HDR Oled. Is this the nirvana?
+wacom support!
Those are flaws, not features.
I dunno, I reckon they'd need to chuck glassless 3D and 120hz in there to hit Nirvana ;-)
