Three Amazing Thin & Light Laptops You Can Buy Right Now!

what's going on everybody Matthew Monas here and today I have three laptops in the studio that are very thin they're very light and right now they're on sale at Best Buy Canada until June 1st for up to 300 off now I've partnered with Intel and Best Buy to Showcase these laptops these are all Intel Evo certified devices so there's a lot of benefits to be had but I feel like these are three great picks and if you're up for a brand new laptop I feel like one of these laptops are going to speak to you thank you the first one is the Lenovo Yoga 7i this is a very special laptop because a two-in-one device and what that means is you have a display that can rotate 360 degrees and this just allows you to put the laptop in different positions for one I can just use it as a tablet by placing it flat on the table it also comes with a pen directly in the Box you don't have to buy this separately it's included and there's even a little carrying case that can be stuck inside of the USB port so whenever you're not using the pen you just put in the USB port you slide it through and then you have a place for the pen to be carried but this is a great laptop because it only weighs about 3.4 pounds it's very well made it's made out of aluminum the top of the lid is very rigid so it feels good in the hand I love how they rounded out the edges so it feels good when you're holding it the ports are endless you have a HDMI 2.1 port on the left hand side you have two Thunderbolt 4 Port so you could technically connect it to external GPU you can connect to multiple monitors it just gives you a lot of flexibility you have an audio jack and then the right hand side you have another USB a port a Micro SD card slot and then of course the power button this is a very well made laptop it's very easy to open up with one hand and once you do you have the Lenovo keyboard which has these wonderful u-shaped keys that have a nice click to it there's a lot of features to this since this is an Intel Evo certified device you know you're going to get a full HD camera at the top the best part about this camera is it also supports Windows hello facial recognition so you can quickly log in and start using the device also it supports instant wake which is another feature of Intel Evo so you can quickly open up the laptop and continue exactly where you left off in just under a second the display on the yoga is 14 inches it's 16 Hertz it's IPS and it's full HD plus it's a fantastic panel it has good color gamut fantastic color accuracy and good screen brightness it's 16 by 10 so you get slightly more vertical space which is obviously better for productivity but it's also touched so even if you're not using the pen to sketch draw you can obviously use your fingers to touch the display the second thin and light laptop of choice is the LG gram 16. I love this laptop because this is the laptop you get if you want the biggest display possible in a laptop that's as light as it can be like this thing just weighs over two pounds and is lighter than a lot of 13 and 14 inch notebooks that are currently on the market it's also very well made like it's still using a magnesium alloy chassis feels very comfortable to hold you have this wonderful black color with gram in the middle it just looks very classy tons of IO for example on the left hand side you have a HDMI 2.1 Port you have two Thunderbolt four ports which is also part of being an Intel Evo certified device you have an audio jack and then on the right hand side you have two more USB a ports micro SD card and of course you have your Noble lock you can easily open up the laptop with one hand it's not a two-in-one device like the yoga 7 I showed you before this is how far back it goes which is very standard for every laptop out there but to the benefit of buying a 16 inch laptop is you get the numeric keypad so you have that extra keys on the right hand side especially very important if you're using products like Microsoft Excel the typing experience is very comfortable the keys are very clicky you have a fingerprint scanner embedded into the power button and just like the yoga 7 you have a full HD webcam at the Top This is a must if you're buying a 13th gen Intel laptop and it's part of the Intel Evo certified devices it has to have a full HD camera the display is 2560 by 1600 it's QHD plus so very pixel dense it's also a very good display you get great color gamut and color accuracy along with very good screen brightness it's not touch but it's matte which means you get a lot less reflection [Music] the third thing in a light laptop is the Asus Zenbook 14x OLED and the big difference between this guy and the other two laptops I talked about is it comes with a dedicated GPU but I just love the look of this like look at the design on this laptop you have this ceramic looking lid it's an aluminum chassis you have the a logo going across it a suzen book on the bottom it looks very different from every other laptop out of there it feels super solid in the hand you also have a great amount of connectivity for example you have a USB a port on the left hand side and then on the right hand side you have an HDMI 2.1 audio jack and two Thunderbolt 4 ports now this laptop is a tiny bit heavier than the yoga 7 but it's still very light by all means like it's not a heavy laptop at all very easy to open up with one hand the display goes all the way back flat if you need to do that the keyboard experience is also great it has a very good amount of travel the keys feel nice and clicky I'm glad they didn't try to squish a numpad on this it would just be too much for 14 inch chassis you have a few levels of white backlighting if you need to see the keys in the dark but I think the star of the show is obviously this display it's a 14 inch 16 by 10 display but it's OLED and OLED on a laptop is absolutely gorgeous you get these beautiful deep dark blacks you get a very contrasty image it's really great color gamut some of the best and you also get fantastic color accuracy it doesn't matter if you're designing work or watching content everything just looks better on an OLED display Plus on top of all this if you decide if you ever want to play any games on it it's also 120 hertz so you have a very high refresh rate it makes games feel smooth but it also makes moving around the operating system feels smoother now just like the yoga it's also a touch to display and you do have a full HD camera on top just like the other two laptops it also supports Windows hello facial recognition but I think the coolest thing about this laptop is this touchpad it's a glass touch pad it feels great to use but if you push this little button on the right over here it puts up a calculator now all three of these laptops are using Intel's 13th gen CPUs but they're all a little bit different the yoga 7 for example is using an i7 1355u the LG gram 16 is using an i7 1360p processor with 32 gigabytes of ddr5 RAM and you have the Asus Zenbook 14x which is using an I9 13900h the important part is the letter at the end of the CPU name because the u-series processor that you'd find in a yoga 7 tends to be the most efficient it sips the less power and its goal is to give you good performance but really great battery life if you don't mind sacrificing a little bit of that battery life for a bump in performance you generally look at the P series of processors that you'd find in the LG Gram 16. now the h-series processors sips the most power but you get the most or some of the most performance you can get in an Intel laptop the good news though is that all three of these laptops have fantastic battery life because they are Intel Evo certified fight it has to meet those requirements or that sticker will not go on the laptop look all these laptops are great for productivity so if you're living in Microsoft Office Excel and you're a developer and you're just doing General day-to-day work they're all going to do it fine if battery life is the most important thing to you LG gram 16 and yoga 7 are going to give you the best battery life but they all get all day battery life anyway so it just depends how much performance you really need if you're a 3D artist or Video Creator or someone who needs you know more power for demanding tasks and obviously the Zenbook 14x makes the most sense also because these are all Intel Evo certified you get benefits like the ability to use Intel Unison which allows you to connect your Android or iPhone to the laptop and you can obviously send text messages make calls transfer files and
