![]() It picked up my voice at a usable level from a variety of angles and, because of its volume, I didn’t have to raise my voice for others to hear. The X1 Yoga also has an impressive quad-microphone array. Color reproduction and sharpness were solid, as well. The camera handled modest lighting well and was able to adjust exposure to keep my face well lit in a room with mixed light sources. My model had the base camera and, to my surprise, it was good. Webcam, microphone, biometricsĪ 1080p camera can be found above the screen of every ThinkPad X1 Yoga, with an upgrade to IR cameras with computer vision available. It’s a good effort and, while not as crisp or deep as Apple’s MacBook Pro 14 or Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio, it’s impressive. The Atmos branding is fluff (I’ve heard Atmos home theater sound systems, and this ain’t it), but audio quality is strong with clear dialogue, good sound staging, and a hint of kick to the low end. It has a four-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos certification. Though it may look professional, the X1 Yoga can rock out. Still, the added space is useful when working with two windows side-by-side. It’s not much of an advantage, as competitors have also moved to a 16:10 display. Sharpness is excellent across movies, web pages, and documents.Īnd, because this is a 16:10 display, there’s extra display space when compared to a 16:9 alternative. That’s nearly identical to a 27-inch 4K monitor, which crams 163 pixels per inch. The 1,920 x 1,200 resolution doesn’t seem impressive on paper but still packs over 161 pixels per inch. The display can’t reach a deep and convincing black level but actually does better than most, hitting a contrast ratio of 1690:1. Like most IPS screens, the display is best when viewing punchy, saturated, bright content, such as 3D esports games or animated shows. The basic display still holds up well, with good contrast, high brightness, and vivid, accurate color. I appreciate this – the OLED display is excellent, I’m sure, but it’s not what most people will buy. Lenovo ships the X1 Yoga with up to a 3,480 x 2,400 OLED display, but was bold enough to send me the less expensive 1,920 x 1,200 IPS display instead. The touchscreen supports stylus use and, unlike most competitors, the X1 Yoga has a portable stylus that tucks safely inside the device. It’s also convenient when watching movies or YouTube. ![]() Using the keyboard as a stand makes the touchscreen more accessible in tight spaces. Still, the touchscreen provides some versatility. This makes for a comfortable typing experience, but the device is too heavy for comfortable tablet use. The X1 Yoga also packs a large 14-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The X1 Yoga weighs about three pounds and is six-tenths of an inch thick, which means it’s no lighter or thinner than traditional laptop alternatives like the Dell XPS 13 or MacBook Air. Though designed as a 2-in-1 with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen, laptop use is the clear priority. That’s important given the X1 Yoga’s high pricing. The newer aluminum design is more generic but also more luxurious. ![]() Those who’ve been away from ThinkPads for a few years may be surprised it has a silver aluminum chassis instead of the classic black magnesium alloy of older models. ![]() The X1 Yoga is a handsome and professional 2-in-1 with a slim, minimalist exterior.
