same here! my old yoga book was my best friend during my whole 6 years of Engineering studies. It fell so many times, it travel everywhere, was stepped on and having many other adventures, but still is going strong even with some parts missing :)
ok but what more ports would you need? there is multiple usb's for connecting mouse or thumbdrive, there is sd card slot, there is hdmi. I don't think many people would need more than this
Really? Compared to the idea of Framework, this laptop is very disappointing. Memory can't be removed, nor upgraded. Big oof in my book. But then again, I'm still waiting on removable processors and videocards making a proper comeback. I miss the time of fully repairable/upgradeable laptops, like my old HP Elitebook 8540w. That one has a PGA988 socket for the Intel CPU and a Mobile PCI Express (MXM 3.0) slot for graphics cards. I could, in theory, upgrade it to an Nvidia RTX 2080, as that's the latest card made for this interface, but that would be massively bottlenecked by my CPU, lol.

3:55 The small button serves as a power button that allows you to boot into a special boot menu (so you don't have to remember the hotkeys to boot in different manus)
3:58 It's called "Novo Button" and when turned off it can show you a menu with options to go to the bios, boot menu and etc (Long term Lenovo User here). usually to get to the bios is either F1 or F2 and to the boot menu F11 or F12 depending on the model series.

@@mastroitek Honestly outside of the thinkpad line the lenovo laptops are generally pretty trash tier and unfortunately the thinkpads are approaching that tier as well which is a shame as I really liked the thinkpads :(
I use the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd edition as my daily driver for three years now. No complaints except that the buttons leave permanent markings on the OLED screen. The laptop still rocks.
How much battery life do you get from this laptop since this is a power hungry OLED screen and which OS are you using, windows or linux? Also, did you face pwm screen flickering while on low brightness during these 3 years or any dead pixel? I'm planning to buy thinkpad T16 gen 2 AMD and confused whether to go for IPS or OLED display due to low battery life and pwm flickering.
@@arpit9163 I am 6th gen user, I get about 10~12 hours when I use battery saver and limit performance down to 50% in the CPU max limit power setting. When I don't use those, I got only 5 hours of battery life. My tasks are mostly just browsing the web on windows none oled screen.
I am sure that zack is very reasonable and relatable guy. I personally got impressed when I get to know that he uses his smart phone for 4 to 5 years straight just like us. When most of the tech people changing their's in months.
The price I'm seeing on Amazon is not all that bad for this much power. My only gripe is with the processors and LPDDR4 being board integrated. This means that any RAM failure results in a total board replacement. I'm not seeing any board at this moment but, my experience with repairs tells me the unit would likely be more cost effective to replace as a whole than service. Also, I didn't notice if the WIFI card was removable or not, didn't see it in the teardown. If the WIFI is also board integrated, this can be a similar and larger issue. I've seen dead WIFI kill a 1 year old Alienware M17 before. The machine was a $1700 machine but we couldn't find a replacement board for less than $1100
Also I spotted that fans are not removable from heatsink. They are doing it for at least 2 years. Good lluck cleaning dust bunnies from cooling system. P.S. Wi-fi is not replaceable. In such huge laptop, smh
Its a trade off really. Ram in particular, intergrated and sodderd right can be a pretty high performance boost. Hell as much as apple's unrepairable bs annoys they they actually use the sodderd nature of thier chips to boost performance evem more

I've been looking for a good laptop for the last couple of years. This one hits everything I wanted and more. Definitely going to look at closer. Thanks for the review!
Hey zack, ive got a tech tip for you When you apply thermal paste to bare silicon (without a metal heat spreader) it is absolutely essential that you spread the thernal paste on the silicon without leaving any empty spaces. If i were you i would open up the laptop straight away and reapply the thermal paste.
I've got a tip for you: when working with low mounting pressure heat spreaders like inside a laptop don't use thermal paste. Use Honeywell's PTM7950 phase change pad. It matches liquid metal in performance while being completely electrically non-conductive and staying in place. It's the best TIM available in 2023 for laptops
@@iamdmc i havent tested it personally but in theory and based on tests others done yah i totally agree with you, the only issue is sourcing the real Honeywell pad.
@@DarkGT you can't be 100% sure that the whole silicon die will be covered. unfortunately I had a mishap with an Athlon 64 x2 laptop processor I thought there was no need to spread the thermal paste if I'm just going to squish it, and it ended with a chipped processor after overheating.
Jerry, you should review framework laptops they have the first actual modular system for laptops and first that actually want you to repair your own laptop.
Thats a great looking machine. As an iMac user, I must say this machine may end up being my next purchase since its upgrade-able, portable AND ACCESSIBLE! Kudos Lenovo..
Bro, a switch could almost beat the imac. If you don't need a laptop I highly suggest to just build a pc. For similar money you get about double the performance on almost every aspect. Just have to remember that you'll need a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
When we got our first PC around 1997 my dad said the exact same thing about the 6 GB of hard disc space we had back then: It's more than you will ever need in your whole life. Well ... 😅
You can tell this notebook is making the rounds, a lot of different videos from different creators with a lot of the same talking points. Good to see a proper teardown on it though, definitely makes this video stand out from the bunch!
Lenovo indeed makes great products.. However their support is extremely lackluster, at least here in the EU.. We had A lot of hardware issues recently and at times their so called support sends back faulty units as "No faults" found.. Even with documented issues with pictures, videos and logs of the issues.. The customer should not be left suffering because the RMA team is lazy and bad at troubleshooting.. And this is with the "procare" or whatever their extra warranty is called that provide higher urgency and faster respond times. Keep this in mind when choosing a business laptop.
By far the most beautiful and minimalistic looking laptop to have ever graced my eyes. Truly a masterpiece in both art and technology. Although, will have to put my house as collateral to ever get one. 💀

"Because recycled bubblegum is the BEST bubblegum!!" Having spent 25 years in IT and enjoying dismantling technology the best, this vid made my day. MUCH better than a phone, tablet or gaming device breakdown, IMO. Thanks Zack!!
All Lenovo's do that. It's piss poor quality of plastic and hinges. I see them in my repair shop often all with the same kind of issues. It went serious downhill somewhere around 2014, not sure what happend around that time but it got worse since. Everything above 4th gen intel based lenovo laptops.
I have Lenovo Yoga 710 since 2018. It was my student laptop (I am a Master in Robotics now). Being not very careful with things, I can tell it is super durable!!! It cracked in several places because it fell from my height several times... but still does the job. I am honestly shocked. So now I am looking at the same, but newer model.
Your precise way of opening up laptop components and re-assembling them back properly is really awesome. Just to check, if we open up a laptop to check or upgrade the Ram or SSD, without breaking anything, during warranty, will it void my warranty ?
It's hard to explain how magnifical Lenovo's keyboard is mostly to someone who have never used one before.. I've been on the x1 Carbon line up since gen 6 and only lenovo can match that experience.
@@MosheKiesberg This is so true, and I've been using laptops since the early 90's (desktops before that). I'm typing on my 2022 XPS 15 right now and it's terrible. I built a custom TKL keyboard for my daily work with a split spacebar (left side is backspace) so when I make the switch from that keyboard to my laptop it's just so bad.
They'd be crazy to make a professional laptop that's not easily serviceable... oh torx screws... oh no, soldered memory. This laptop may be good for general use but can't be called "pro", guess that's why they didn't brand it thinkpad
The thermal "paste" that was originally on there was a variant of PTM7950, which is a phase change material designed to last a lot and fill the imperfectoins in heatsink a lot better than traditional thermal paste. Unfortunately the thermals are now much worse on this laptop, not to mention pumpout and drying out. Still, great video!
@@DarkGT It's about longevity. I've been using ptm7950 on a ThinkPad T480 for about a year and just repasted bt brand new T14G2 with the same PTM. The temperatures immediately dropped by 8-10 degrees from stock paste, and i know the paste will keep its properties for a long time.
@@DarkGT liquid metal would be either too expensive or too dangerous for a slim laptop like rhat, ptm7950 shines here, as it combines best of both worlds between paste and lm
@@verpejas Maybe you clean the dust, or the old paste have dried? On my MX4 there is label saying 7 years, so even the regular paste should last you long. I'm sure that premium solution have advantages, if you don't have the ptm7950 or whatever, you can still be okay if other brands. It really depends if you are going to push it to the limits with heavy computations that will heat the CPU and GPU.
I currently have a touchscreen laptop. It is so glossy that seeing content with any sunshine or strong lighting is a miserable experience. I will be choosing matte surfaced laptop screens from now on. I find I rarely use the touchscreen anyway. Thanks for your video breakdown of this laptop.
Lucky guy! I mean the laptop.. he doesn't need to go through the regular Jerry Rig treatment.. For a change Zack has been so decent with this fellow :) nice to see once in a while :)
My wife still has her Lenovo z460. I purchased a Lenovo Slim pro 7 a couple of months ago and have no regret. Anyway, the keyboard has been the same except that my new laptop has backlit which I can never function without. Lenovo has been behind the major brands like Asus, Dell or HP. Lenovo is underrated.

this lappy is impressive
Good job Zack
That's a lot of power for such a slim laptop. I wonder about its thermals and battery.
75wat = 4-5 hour youtube
"Let's start it"... with placing the edge icon into the bin... nice one :D
The thermal "paste" that was originally on there was a variant of PTM7950, which is a phase change material designed to last a lot and fill the imperfectoins in heatsink a lot better than traditional thermal paste. Unfortunately the thermals are now much worse on this laptop, not to mention pumpout and drying out. Still, great video!
he ain't the tech tips guy, so it's understandable.
How much worse it can be? +3-4 degrees? I can live with that. If they wanted the best of the best, they could have used a liquid metal LMAO.
@@DarkGT It's about longevity. I've been using ptm7950 on a ThinkPad T480 for about a year and just repasted bt brand new T14G2 with the same PTM. The temperatures immediately dropped by 8-10 degrees from stock paste, and i know the paste will keep its properties for a long time.
@@DarkGT liquid metal would be either too expensive or too dangerous for a slim laptop like rhat, ptm7950 shines here, as it combines best of both worlds between paste and lm
@@verpejas Maybe you clean the dust, or the old paste have dried? On my MX4 there is label saying 7 years, so even the regular paste should last you long. I'm sure that premium solution have advantages, if you don't have the ptm7950 or whatever, you can still be okay if other brands. It really depends if you are going to push it to the limits with heavy computations that will heat the CPU and GPU.
Bro we need your voice in google assistant
Dude your voice scares every tech 😂😂😂
I currently have a touchscreen laptop. It is so glossy that seeing content with any sunshine or strong lighting is a miserable experience. I will be choosing matte surfaced laptop screens from now on. I find I rarely use the touchscreen anyway. Thanks for your video breakdown of this laptop.
Edge straight in the Recycle Bin. Nice touch.
Why is there no framework laptop teardown?
Zack sending Edge to the pin is just what i do every time i see Edge shortcut lol.
Anyone else get the title on the thumbnail in (maybe)Arabic?
yea i did in Hindi, that's strange
I see you rocking the F-91W. 👏👏👏 definitely a God tier classic!
I got this thumbnail in Hindi even though I am not Indian and do not live near India?
@@hawi35 Same here for me. It's weird
Lucky guy! I mean the laptop.. he doesn't need to go through the regular Jerry Rig treatment.. For a change Zack has been so decent with this fellow :) nice to see once in a while :)
0:01 What bs, you spend most of your days creating e-waste.
So glad they changed the double hinge which notoriously broke on the older models.
Man this guy’s voice gave me goosebumps
Drink everytime Zack says "Professional"
This machine is a beast
How amazing we are able to see such laptop
My wife still has her Lenovo z460. I purchased a Lenovo Slim pro 7 a couple of months ago and have no regret. Anyway, the keyboard has been the same except that my new laptop has backlit which I can never function without. Lenovo has been behind the major brands like Asus, Dell or HP. Lenovo is underrated.
I half think that Zack did the 470 on purpose.
Well played Zack, well played.
Perfect sponsoring because this notebook is exactly what I'll be buying next month
No you won’t.
@@deanwoods8647 you probably right but there's some chance.
@@xspager haha fair play. I hope you get it :)
So happy to watch this. So freaking Sick! Can wait to do this on furuture cars .
Really like this laptop 👌🏻 nice efforts Lenovo 👍🏻
I saw the COOLING system 🥶 and went "Ohh Men, this thing should blast through EVERYTHING 💪🤩"
I don't remember you being so gentle to any of the gadget before
Good to see you doing teardown on laptops
Great review as always!!! you cracked me up when you threw M$oft Edge to the recycle bin @1:03!!
Bro always gives best of everything
No noise vedio transition
But good and clean vedio
Looks like someone's serving a tech sentence in that orange shirt with a gray background! But hey, at least you've got that laptop to keep you company and make your stay more enjoyable 😂💻
