hey how's it gone Dave 2d here so this is a Lenovo yoga 9 20 and this is their hybrid - one device their fortune in screen device and this is a product that's been very well received by the media by reviewers by critics they enjoy this thing a lot and I've actually been using mine for about three weeks I didn't do a review earlier because I've actually been using this thing as a required piece of equipment at work because I needed a two-in-one tablet there and I've been using this one and I would agree that this is a good product overall I think there's a lot of stuff I love about it but there's one thing that really bugs me about this product and it's the tablet mode now I don't talk about things that I do like to but first it's a very well-built device I would say this is one of the best-built devices from the novo especially at this price point they went with good material choices it's aluminum all around and the design looks good but there's a lot of sharp edges around this whole product and when you use it in tablet form those sharp edges are really pronounced like you're looking at basically edges on the top the bottom the sides it's sharp all around and I really don't like holding this device in a tablet form I feel like a two-in-one tablet device shouldn't be this sharp on the edges now the hinge that they use is the classic Lenovo watchband hinge and it's awesome it's just built really well this thing has two major benefits first it allows you to fold the screen all the way down to the back I mean that's what makes it the hybrid tune one device that it is and it's also a really stiff hinge in the sense that it doesn't matter what angle you put the screen at it'll hold its position and just won't flop down or whatever it's also nice for like artwork if you're using the pen on it it doesn't wobble around too much you can open it up on the bottom it's just a bunch of Torx screws but when you get in there it's a little bit disappointing because the RAM and the drive are extremely difficult if not impossible to replace the drive is super fast which is great but just make sure that you configure it the way you want right on the factory because you won't be able to easily upgrade the RAM and the storage now the ports on this thing are good but limited so you're getting one USB a and two Thunder well three ports you'll be charging the device using one of those ports and they actually support four lanes of PCIe so if you have an external GPU you're getting maximum bandwidth on this device performance is really good it's running the new 8th gen CPUs from Intel and the multi-core applications really flex on these CPUs but most applications won't feel too different from the older seventh generation CDs just because a lot of applications aren't capable of taking advantage of the multi-core stuff the GPU is capable of playing some lighter games but nothing crazy fan noise and thermals are also really comfortable never gets uncomfortably loud or hot the performance is quite good on this thing the keyboard is excellent lenovo is known for making really good keyboards and this is one of them I got used to typing on it really quickly and it's just a comfortable spacious keyboard the trackpad has good and bad the tracking is good windows precision drivers can't go wrong with that the button mechanic is mediocre it's not a bad click it's just not as tactile as I'd like it to be you can hear it it's just more hollow than I'd like my trackpad speed it's a fine trackpad just not my favorite screen 4k panel on this particular one it comes in a 1080p panel in the base model but the 4k panel is colorful with good viewing angles but it's not super bright see on laptops like dedicated laptops I guess I'm more forgiving for not super bright screens but on a tuna on Harvard device I kind of want to see a screen that's just brighter because you often use it as a tablet or as a tent mode thing and when it's in those modes you kind of need brighter screens because you're not always sitting at a perfectly angled desk and stuff like that I would have liked to have seen a brighter panel but this was on bad the 4k screens come with a pen and this feels actually really similar to the surface pens at least the new ones 4096 levels of pressure and it's a nice pen the battery life is really good it's a nine hour battery with the screen at 250 nits and that's what the 4k panel if you're running the lower rest screen the 1080p panel my guess is 11 hours maybe 11 and a half hours so full day battery with ease the webcam looks like this like the image quality is decent it's not super high resolution but the colors look okay the image is actually shot from the top middle of the screen which is rare because on a thin bezel screen like this usually shoots in the bottom looks up your nose this looks normal which I like the speakers are pretty mediocre I don't love them they don't sound bad it's just that they're positioned poorly so in laptop mode they're positioned right on the bottom they just literally fire right into the table with like a millimeter of gap it just distorts the sound really poorly in tent mode it's a little better but you basically have this echo chamber where the sound bounces back and forth and again it just distorts the sound it's also not great in tablet mode because the speakers are right behind the screen and the sound just kind of gets distorted and muffled by the position again so overall I think this is a good device a great device if you use it as a laptop predominantly so if you just almost never use it for other things other than a laptop this is a great pick up I think this is one of the best two-in-one hybrid devices that have used when it comes to a laptop device but the moment you use it as a tablet things just don't feel comfortable for me I just don't enjoy the wait I don't enjoy the ergonomics I certainly don't enjoy the sharp edges like it's just something that yeah and I've been using this for three weeks now pretty regularly I don't think I'll ever get used to it so if that bothers you then you probably shouldn't get this device which makes it weird because that's what this was for the whole tune one thing but yeah that's what we have okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs we liked it subs you've loved it see you guys next time
