Lenovo ThinkPad X380 Yoga Review
Ғылым және технология
Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad X380 Yoga convertible Ultrabook with a full HD 13.3” display supporting pen and touch. It runs Windows 10 on Intel 8th generation Core i5 and i7 15 watt quad core U series CPUs with your choice of 8 or 16GB RAM, Intel UHD 620 graphics, an M.2 NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 3 and Intel 8265AC graphics. This is the more affordable alternative to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga with a slightly smaller display.

Checking in. Love your ThinkPad reviews Lisa! Keep it up. Us Thinkpad fanboys are here ..every.....single....time..
Thanks for the comparison with the X1 Yoga 3rd gen! All your reviews are excellent!
I watch your reviews periodically. The reviews, the t-shirts are awesome!
i like how you made a review of it specially when you open the hardware.
You are one of the absolute best reviewers of laptops on KZread. Clear, concise and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Love thinkpads, love the review. Would love to see you review a thinkpad 25 Lisa. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for your review, nicely done. Just to be sure, this Lenovo L380 does NOT have a Thunderbolt 3 port. I bought this laptop last week, so far I'm happy with it.
Looking forward to the L380 review and hopefully a smackdown comparison between all 3 models (X1 Yoga vs X380 Yoga vs L380 Yoga).

Lim Li Long still no L380 yoga review
Waiting for E485 review. I saw it on several German stores and I can't wait to see it in my country sellers.
watching this channel periodically 😋
Great review! I particularly like how you compare it to similar models - that's very helpful. :) Still waiting for Lenovo to finally get it all right in one machine. Maybe the P52 will be it? Maybe.. If you can get your hands on that once it's out, I'd love to see a review of it!
Great review! Thank you very much! I liked it!
watching this on my thinkpad 370 yoga~ thanks to Lisa that is :)
Great review and what made it even one of the best is because of the quick comparison between this and the x1 yoga gen 3 because so similar that any random person could mistake them as the samething.

Hey, I had to decide between x380 and the yoga x1 . On Paper it is not worth paying that higher price for a better display if you do not need it. but everything changed after I had the chance to touch bouth and compare some things. First one I mentioned is that the touchpad from x380 is absolutely bad like realy bad and the touchpad from the x1 is a lot better Its not that good as macbooks one (had a macbook before) but it feels way better then the yoga x380. the second one are the left and rightclick buttons looks and feels like very chunky on the x380 . the display is not only a little bit better its incredible on the x1 the colors and the brightness are awesome. so you maybe mentioned that I decided to take the x1 yoga instead of the x380. 1 week later my wallet is still angry but I am happy with my decision. battery life is not that bad as some reviewers said but its not the strength of the x1 . have some troubles with my display which is flakering on lowest brightness but I hope the support will help me soon. I hope you got some more informations. if they are any questions about the x1 yoga just ask :)

Akkulocher o ok sweet. I might just wait a few months more months before making the purchase just to make sure they address all the issue and I get it for a cheaper price. Thanks again for the update.
Thanks, Lisa for your review. You're Lenovo Thinkpad ambassador.
Always great reviews. Can you please review the ThinkPad T580 next?
Lisa, I ordered my L380 Yoga with an i7 8550 U, so it is available without an i5. It is also available with a new world-facing camera (x380 and x1 do not have this) and fingerprint reader. I didn't see those on the L380 model you showed. After upgrading my ram (bought separately) to 32GB I was $1400 or so in.
informative review as always...
According to Notebookcheck, this laptop suffers from thermal throttling very heavily. In 50 Cinebench-MultiTest in a row, the clock speed can not hold after about 10 runs and the score will drop to around that of 7th gen CPU.
cant wait for the l380 review waiting for it to decide if to buy it or not
Why haven't you reviewed the Ideapad 720s 15? There are like zero reviews on the internet for this laptop and it checks a lot of boxes.
Great review, as always, Lisa. Any chance you'll have the cheaper L380 Yoga up for review? EDIT: I was watching the review as I was writing this. Review on the L380 coming up. Yay! Thanks.
X380 is actually a successor to last year's 370. Would have been Interesting to see a comparison.
I just picked up one the Core i5 models on ebay yesterday for $200 shipped, I really hope I like it.
got one, second hand model, i5 8gb variant , works pretty well
Another quality review. 😀
Based on your review, I had purchased this beauty. Loving it and works brilliantly. Thank you for this review.

Come for the shirt, stay for the review

Wow! Now I want this laptop instead the x280.
Do the keys retract when in Tablet mode like the X1 Yoga Third Gen? or do they not? Is it comfortable to hold in tablet mode if the keys dont retract and lock?? Thank You. Your reviews are excellent
Hi @MobileTechReview ! What would be better for a college student? The thinkpad X380 Yoga or the Thinkpad T480s ultrabook?
Wow! Awesome review. Thank you for showing the SSD inside. Lenovo is price gauging for SSD upgrade. Thinking about ordering with the cheapest SATA config and upgrading to nvme ssd. Do you think if I ordered SATA model would it be missing the NVME controller?
Waiting for your detailed review of ThinkPad P52

Love that T-Shirt that you wear periodically ..lol How about a comparison between X1 Yoga, 920 Yoga?
I love your reviews, but I've gotta ask you something... Do they charge you by the minute? Because you talked so fast I had to go into the video settings and tap the brakes😉... Even still you sold me on the L380 for the specs and price. Keep up the great work!
Dear Lisa, greetings from Germany. Your T480 review was one of my major decision points to grab that one. It's pretty versatile. I'd like to see your opinion about the L380 though. Would be interesting to see in comparison to an Acer Spin 513-52N, which I gave to my second Daughter, because she likes drawing, like you. Same I would say about an Acer Swift 5, which I gave to my first Daughter. Both are more "fixed" in configuration but very decent performers. Nonetheless the Swift 5 surprised me with a second, free NVME M.2 slot, which is not listed officially on the product site, if I remember right. I'm more than 38 years into IT stuff and the T480 brings back the versatility to me, we had so many years ago. Remember the first Apples? Next year, when my son will be 16, it will be his. And I'll grab a T490 by then, probably. What will be after T490? :) Keep on going lady,, mostly periodically :)

Luis S , it's the uhd 620 igp. I've the small 24 wh and the fat 72 wh swappable batteries. Battery life depends pretty much on what you're doing, naturally. I max them usually at 80% max charge to minimize battery aging. And I use xtu undervolting (-100mv). So I get (e.g.) 6 to 7 hours of video streaming with"suggested" screen brightness from the small battery and about 20 from the fat one. Note: including the built in one. Cheers

Luis S you're welcome. Btw. I've the new usb ultra dock with it. IMHO the best combination if you don't aim at external graphics GPUs
How do X380 and 370 compare? 7th vs 8th gen CPU, is it all?
Going for 200-300 on auction sites these days. Really tempting but my T470 is holding up well.
@Lisa Gade Can you please do a comparison review between X 380 & X1 YOGA. The tech specs of both of these laptops are almost similar. I want to see how they look by sitting side by side as we have an option of 13.3" in X 380 whereas 14" on X1 YOGA.
Hi~! You videos are really informativeI!!!! And I have a little question... Is this laptop compatible with paint tool sai? What I mean is that I would like to know if the pencil has pressure, because when I draw in other laptops this pressure does not work in paint tool sai. Thank you for your great work! :)
What is the build quality? And how would this be for music production?
useful but puzzled why they soldered the RAM this time. in the X370 I kind of remember that models with the WLAN LTE port had soldered RAM and models without it, had a RAM slot. hopefully it is just the fact that you got a model with the WLAN port. I guess the fact that there is no yoga with dedicated graphics, still leave a tiny bit of market reason for the ageing P40 Yoga, the last one with dedicated graphics, no? (of course in the Ideapad line, there is the Yoga 720 with 7700HQ and GTX1050)
What happened to the new macbook pro video? I was looking forward to it earlier yesterday and it was gone
I use the Lenovo X380 Yoga (i5-8250, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) now for 4 Months and I’m happy with it. I’m using it for daily work tasks and taking notes at the university. For me the X380 works fine and I couldn’t find any better product at this Price. After two Months my Battery needed to be changed because of low Capacity. But the Lenovo Support handled it within a week.

I have the L380 with less ports, but it's got USB-C ports over them instead.
Love the shirt!!!!
Did anyone else notice the slot labeled NFC? Can this thing get an NFC expansion slot?
The Lenovo site specs this with a 2.5" drive as standard, does this mean you can have 2 drives in it? I don't see space for it in there...
Can you please tell us how this compares to the T480s? Specifically the display? Also, this is an SD slot or a Micro SD slot? I wasn't sure from your review.
Can you please review the ThinkPad L380 Yoga i7. ))
A classic!
Nice review, thank you! Did you (or someone else) tried Ubuntu on a X380 Yoga? I would like to know if the touch and pen works well on Ubuntu ;)
Awesome thorough reviews as always Lisa!. I know you’ll definitely get a lot of requests for recommendations, and here’s one more if I might, I’m trying to decide between the X380, L380 or Yoga 730, what’s your thoughts there?. I’m looking for a 2-1 lightweight, ultra book if you will, 13’’ that I can easily take around with me to conferences/lectures/meetings, jot notes on it with a stylus etc, you get the idea. Any feedback or suggestions will highly be appreciated, thanks!!

Hi polluxteoy2010 which one u choose?
можно спросить? а как называется ваш микрофон на футболке? may I ask? What is the name of your microphone on a t-shirt?
Just a heads up, just got one and it turns out that thunderbolt only has 2 lanes of PCIe.
Lisa, would you please to check in your further reviews passibility to use M.2 2242 SSD as a secondary SSD drive please? I think is more actual now days to use M.2 SSD in WWAN port than LTE card as there are no gigabit WWAN LTE cards on the market yet, so I think is more useful have mobile hotspot and secondary M.2 2242 SSD. Kind regards, Kevin
hi, I like your review, please do a review of Thinkpad l380 yoga when you have time, thanks

Hi Lisa, please compare this with thinkpad yoga L380
Seems like Lenovo ThinkPads are one of the very few Leptops that still have proper cursor keys. But they start that soldered ram business too.. Annoying. Straight against pro user wishes.

ugh why is Lenovo so random with their WWAN configuration. No wwan for this one, and worse off the x1 yoga can't be configured with HDR + WWAN

I'm in the process of returning my X1 Yoga due to the lack of thermal throttling, my legs are fried. Also my LTE module stopped working after 30 mins of use.

Youssef Hegazy you can set it to "cool and quiet" via the Lenovo control center or download Intel xtu to undervolt the CPU slightly. I'm thinking about repasting mine to achieve better thermal performance. There are detailed instructions on how to remove the CPU cooler in the maintenance manual. Should be pretty easy to do.

Lack of thermal throtteling? You want it to over heat and slow down?
i have this bought it in 2022 for $220 now i want a 4k touch screen
which one is better, dell 7390 2 in 1 or x380 2 in 1?
Does Windows 11 run on the x380 right out of the box?
Are you gonna do the lenovo yoga 13 15"
Does it have legacy dovk port?
Seriously about the dent in your floor? Jesus... Great review as always.
The yoga 370 has Thunderbolt 3 with 4 Lanes, but I heard that the new X380 has only 2 Thunderbolt Lanes... Everyone tells something different :) Lisa, have you tested it? :)
So it's basically a Thinkpad Yoga 370 with new generation cpu (and soldered ram).
Pls.. "Video on ALIENWARE 15 R4"
Can I add a second SSD to this laptop
Weight and dimensions of the laptop please?
Would this a decent option for an engineering student in 2024? My budget is extremely modest. If not this one then which Thinkpad would you invest $300 or less in? Ill likely buy from ebay.
Ok now quite fascinating with dent in the floor, can we please see that dent in your next review 😄
