Lenovo has the portable business laptop down to a science. The company has done no shortage of experiments across the ThinkPad line, from featherweight chassis to OLED screens to titanium lids. But it’s unsurprising that the company has made very few changes to the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, a tried-and-true enterprise convertible that’s competent across the board. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Put the latest Gen 7 X1 Yoga next to its Gen 6 predecessor, and you won’t see much of a difference. There’s a new UHD Plus OLED screen option (but I haven’t tested that one \u2014 I’ve got a regular 1920 x 1200 LCD panel here), an ever-so-slight difference in weight, and a better webcam, but the primary The difference is that the new Gen 7 is powered by Intel’s 12th Gen processors. My unit, currently listed for $2,369, has a Core i7-1260P with eight efficiency cores and four performance cores (as well as 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unfortunately, that new processor doesn’t deliver the kind of performance gains I imagine many X1 Yoga users will care about \u2014 but it does lead to a decrease in efficiency that I think harms its outlook overall, especially compared to laptops from Apple. That may be an Intel problem rather than a Lenovo problem, but it is a problem all the same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
