So it's no secret at this point that I've been recently using the ThinkPad X one carbon as my main laptop device, using it on the set downstairs.

That's my daily laptop.

I had an original version in the black finish that was not a custom speck at all.

And then I liked it so much I went back and did my very own build, which is this one.

This is the one you've been seeing on the desk is the one I've been using and enjoying with the silver finish on it.

This right here is the sixth generation of this laptop.

Some things I don't like so much like, for example, the speaker performance, a display that I'm pretty happy with.

Its of course, cut the keyboard that I like a slim profile.

It's got good battery life Now.

Even though I just ordered this thing, Lenovo was busy preparing finishing their next generation of this exact laptop.

I've got it now I've got two of them in front of me.

I don't know.

Ah, which speck these laptops in front of me.

Parr.

I just know that they're both different versions of the seventh generation so more powerful units, apparently a little bit later, a little bit slimmer.

One of the two also apparently has the new finish, which is a carbon fiber weave, of course, has got the latest Intel processors.

So that's an upgrade, and probably the thing I'm most interested in checking out is the redesigned speaker set up because that's the one area like I said previously, that I really wish the last version could have been PETA Ron.

It was one of my few complaints, so apparently they redid it, less cracking to these.

Look how small a box, what on boxing experience that is because you see this tiny little box and you're like, Wow Ah, 65 watt type C connector over here, each team I t v g a adapter.

I don't believe these adapters came with the previous version, and this one is a proprietary kind of break out connector to an Ethernet port.

This is the carbon one.

This one is like marginally lighter, but definitely slammer again.

This has always been ah, carbon product.

In this case, you can appreciate what it's actually made of just through the exposure of the actual carbon.

We've okay, So quick comparison.

That's the new 1/7 generation and this is sixth generation.

So it's 6% thinner, apparently.

I mean, that's hard to even pick up on here.

As far as a practical sense, these air the same for In fact, let's take a look at the ports.

Have your type C charge connector.

Thunderbolt capable.

You have H D.

My traditional USB connector.

You have headphone jack in this location and over on the other side, another standard USB connector and then the power switch with an led light.

This is a new location.

Wait a second.

Wait.

Did you see this track?

They fixed one of my headaches.

The old version.

You go to open it with one hand.

You lift the whole thing somehow on the new model, even though it's lighter.

Oh, that's nice.

That is somehow very rewarding.

Fingerprint scanner moved a little bit.

Keyboard still feels the same or very close to the same.

Definitely, I would say the old model might have slightly Maur key travel.

Okay, so there are three new screen options.

There's an F H D display touch screen.

There's, ah, privacy capability on one of the screen options.

As you can see here, you can cover over the camera lens.

There's also a four K U H D 500 knit display available.

I'm not sure which one I've got in this particular configuration.

I'm gonna actually turn both of them on and see what the speck is.

Turns out both of the new displays I have on both the carbon.

We've version as well as the typical.

This is standard Black finished, the ThinkPad finished you are likely used to.

It looks like both the devices I have are four K displays.

Same chip I 7 86 65 you CPU at 1.9 gigahertz.

16 gigs of Ram you respect.

He's out.

However you choose.

There's There's really endless specifications available when it comes to storage ram and so forth.

So I would recommend going in there and looking at what's available on Lenovo's website.

But display wise, this is just This is a really nice looking display.

I'm glad I got a chance to look at the U.

H D model.

It's also brighter.

This is 500 nits.

Now you can see the difference.

It's pretty should be pretty clear to you.

Why you want a little bit of extra brightness now?

Granted, this is a map display.

This is glossy, so I was kind of a fan of the fact that the mat display was less prone to fingerprints and reflections.

But of course there is a downside.

There's less poppin the colors in general without having that glossy finish.

But brightness is a whole different category.

That thing is just blazing at 500 ext up.

I want to check the speakers because that was my other complaint.

They also have the Dolby at most certification now, if that means anything to you.

But most importantly, they're just up here where you would want them to be.

Load up.

Let's say, Lou, later video.

We'll get a sense for dialogue first, and then we'll go from there.

Here's the old speakers.

Misleading Galaxy phone owners over.

Water resistant.

That's maximum volume.

All the sound is coming from the front edge here on the new one, Samsung charged.

Well, misleading.

Thank God, Lexie.

Wow, Owners, Are you resistant to hot water?

Samsung will know it, but miss leading advertising Now this night and day, As you know, Samsung Devices for a while now have had some form of water resistance.

I mean, they got their face and all kinds of hot water.

Yesterday's episode Galaxy fold.

Yeah, we fixed that.

Did you fix it?

This is one of those rare cases in which you feel like they really listened to the enthusiast part of the market.

That was like, Hey, can you please improve this?

I mean, they improved it massively.

E.

I gotta switch.

I gotta switch laptops.

I mean, just over that alone.

For the vast majority of people, the laptop is access to a Web browser.

It's access to a handful off productivity's abs.

Then it's a display, hopefully bigger than to display your used to interacting with on, say, your smartphone.

It's a set of speakers.

It's a keyboard, so you can spit words out faster than you could do with your thumbs on your smartphone.

That's kind of what a laptop is.

Its access, and then it's that small set of features that you interact with every single day.

I would say it probably display and keyboard are kind of in the same territory of importance, and then sound is lower down the list but this one improves.

I'm saying the new version improves substantially in every single one of those categories.

You can just tell how much more pop there is.

In the contrast, I think we may have, Ah, new blacktop champion.

I might be switching even from my own custom latest.

I mean, I really do like this laptop.

I like the silver color especially, and it's unfortunate that got rid of it would have been cool to have three options, but it's good to have to, especially if one of them is this really cool carbon.

We've which for the tech enthusiasts, it just gives it a little extra flavor where you can see the construction.

You can see what goes into it.

Appreciate the material in a different way, kind of like a sports car that has the exposed carbon fiber.

It's in a similar territory.

It's improvements all around.

It's faster, it's more powerful.

It's ever so slightly lighter and ever so slightly smaller.

I don't think that's the reason you're getting this most importantly, hugely improved crazy, bright 500 display.

And, of course, the improvement on the sound, which I mean you heard it yourself.
