  • Buy one at Lenovo - lon.tv/cmr10 (compensated affiliate link) - Lenovo's X1 Fold 16 feels very polished even though the concept of a foldable PC is a very new concept. This machine can function like a small 12" subnotebook but can unfold into a 16.3" 4:3 OLED display. See more tablets: • Tablet Reviews and subscribe! lon.tv/s

    Lon, the reason why the foldable laptop slipped at 13:31 is because you had it upside down. The camera lens is shown at the bottom. That side doesn't contain a magnet.

    I like the overall form factor. I can imagine though, someone will place the keyboard on the screen and try to close it. Great content!

    4:3 aspect ratio is killer for retro gaming! The price is a hurdle. Seems like options are all Intel. An AMD apu with 780m graphics would have been preferable. I/O is also lacking with no card reader or 3.5mm jack. I love the concept though, and booting into batocera would be so sweet! I have no idea about expandability, but I bet everything is soldered down, save the nvme. Great Video!

    That’s a pretty cool concept, I never thought of a foldable full size monitor that converts into multiple type use formats. Looks like something LG would have done if they were still doing their thing. I’m happy to see Lenovo continuing on with new ideas.👍

    Good overall review mate, thanks. One thing I think you should think is about the brightness... U mentioned its ok indoor which and not that great at 400 nits. Thats actually pretty high for most laptops and works great outdoor... Especially the 600 hdr mode would be superb in an outdoor cafe. Im using the x13 yoga which has 400 nits and its excellent in outdoor settings

    TATE mode is great on these new devices. I think we should also have a reminder that you can easily get TATE mode activated on your home PC monitor or even the assigned television screen, if you have a monitor arm or a stand that allows rotation installed.

    • @annacurransmotherofmeghanc1841
      @annacurransmotherofmeghanc1841 5 месяцев назад +1

      I wonder🤔if Tate mode also comes with an Alpha mode that reminds you to take breaks and go touch grass and to sit up properly and advice on dating.😳

    Seems more like a folding tablet that comes with an accessory kit than one product. Reminds me that iPad can now serve as an HDMI second monitor with the Orion app and a usb capture device (previous only worked with continuity)

  • @DinobotTM2
    @DinobotTM2 5 месяцев назад +2

    In general that is cool, but the older one that had a gap when folded that could fit the keyboard was a better form, and I don't know why they changed that..

  • @user-cr6ki4qs4y
    @user-cr6ki4qs4y 4 месяца назад

    I wish this was 16:9 so it can can run 2 apps on it vertically just like on a normal desktop monitor. This would also make it perfect for videos as well. The stand does look a bit flimsy. They should do a similar built in stand like the MS Surface Pro.

    I really want to buy this but turned off with having to "assemble it" to use it. The stand should have been built into the back of the display. Also wish you could close the display with the keyboard inside.

    it's expensive but much more reasonable that the $5000 HP equivalent, this can definitely make sense at a deep discount (under $2000) or even cheaper refurbished in a few years

    I can't believe you can't close it with the keyboard in it. What are you supposed to do with the keyboard when you're traveling?

    • @LonSeidman

      As demonstrated they want you to stack it underneath the folded up PC - it attaches magnetically to the bottom.

    Let me go on record talking about the foldable OLED screens showing up in consumer electronics. I own a Galaxy Fold 4 and the screen started separating from the backing at less than one year old. Would Samsung stand behind their product and fix it? NO! They said they would give me $20 trade in on another fold. Don't buy these foldable OLED screens - ON ANYTHING.
    Total waste of money.

    First of all, it's too large and bulky. Second, foldable phones work so well because most of them have a screen on the outside so that the device is still usable even when it's folded. Third, 32 hun...hun....32 hundred? Nah, dawg.

      Dude,it has Tate mode on it so you know it’s gonna be expensive, if you been in front of the screen to long Andrew Tate pops up and tells you to go touch grass and talk to a woman before you can use it again.💪

    A really poorly designed product that is way too expensive, and I assume Lenovo is sending these out as a last attempt to clear unsold stock.
    It is also 12th gen Intel and $3900 for a U chip with no dGPU and 32GB/1TB! Strictly for those with high disposable incomes.
    There are better versions of this type of device, with a sensible design.
