Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro Get Significant Camera Update

Xiaomi’s 2020 flagships —Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro— just received a significant upgrade (via Gizchina) to its cameras. Mi 10 Pro, in particular, was the top-ranked phone on DxOMark, only to be bested by the Oppo Find X2 Pro earlier this month. After this update, there is a high likelihood of the phone taking back its crown. Let’s take a look at what the upgrade has in store for us:

Super video stabilization upgrade

Super Stabilizer Plus

Larger format ratio

Better anti-shake effect

Normal video shooting support zoom

Supports smooth zoom

Support Hitchcock shooting

Adjustable parameters for professional mode recording video

Adjust video recording effects at any time

Adjustable white balance, focus parameters, shutter time, ISO, EV parameters

8K video movie format

8K video recording, textured movie format

Video playback, one-click 8K screenshot

Video tag function

Recording video for a long time

Album with backmarker keyframes

Album video compression

Lossless image compression

Easily save 50%+ space

Mi clip – new

Intelligently analyze video clips and automatically match cool transition music

Support manual adjustment of subtitles, multiples, titles, and trailers

VLOG blockbuster, one-click can now create a film

Because the changelog is a direct translation, some of the minor details may have been lost in the process. Nonetheless, it is fairly easy to get a gist of what’s in store for Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro owners. One of the more interesting additions of this update is support for the Hitchcock Style shooting. It involves dividing action into a series of close-ups which are then shown in succession. You can also shoot 8K video at length, instead of in a few minute bursts. This is a highly-requested feature that will reportedly be a part of Android 11.

As you can see, most of these upgrades are centered around the videography features of the Mi 8 Pro. The phone’s Penta-camera setup is quite capable of shooting crystal clear footage, as demonstrated by the video here. Xiaomi says that the update is rolling out now and will be available to users in the coming weeks.

Help! Windows Won’t Boot Correctly After a Recent OS Update

In today’s edition of Tech 911—Lifehacker’s tech-support column that’s been focusing on your working-from-home questions all week—we’re tackling an old favorite: Microsoft Windows. Specifically, what happens when Windows starts tossing up annoying error messages each and every time you try to launch the operating system? If you’re trying to log in for the day and actually do work for the critical deadlines you have, and you don’t really have an IT department to help out, this is probably the worst spot to be in.
Before we toss you a digital life preserver, let’s get the details from Lifehacker reader Patchkek.

The question:

I have a Windows 10 desktop. Several weeks ago windows did an update and several days later when I powered on, I got the message “windows didn’t load properly” blue screen with several options. The ones I tried didn’t work well, until I found the “Revert to a previous date” option. That worked well. Computer went back on and functioned normally. Unfortunately I still receive the windows did not load properly screen every several days. Im running Windows 10 on a Mac. I was thinking of completely wiping out windows and then reloading it. Maybe I have a virus or bug ? Thanks !!

The humble answer:

For what it’s worth, you’re not alone on this one. Microsoft has been having issues with Windows 10 updates lately, which can sometimes introduce more problems for users than they can fix. It’s possible that you’re in this camp, but the good news is that it’s very, very unlikely that you’ve been hit with a virus or some piece of sketchy malware. It’s just a Windows issue—not very soothing to hear when you’re experiencing it, I’m sure, but at least slight more comforting than, “Your system is infected” (I hope).

Generally speaking, I like to abandon ship at the first sign of trouble that would likely take me longer to troubleshoot—with mixed results—than it would take me to reinstall Windows and all of my applications. I suspect that might be the case here. And since you’re Boot Camping into Windows on your Mac, I’m less bothered by putting you out of commission for a bit, since you’ll always have macOS to use if you absolutely need to do something on your computer.

Before we go nuclear, though, let’s try a few things. First off, if you can boot into Windows—and it sounds like you can—I’m not sure there’s anything you can uninstall that will help you. The last major Windows 10 update that would have probably affected you was the big 1909 update from November. There have been a number of piecemeal updates since then, but I can’t think of one that’s been especially problematic. Oh, except for KB4535996, which even Microsoft suggested users uninstall.

So, let’s start there. Pull up Windows Update, click on View Update History, click on Uninstall Updates, and look to see if you can uninstall KB4535996. If you can, great! If not, there goes that troubleshooting technique.

While you’re here, maybe check to see if there are any additional Windows updates you can install. It’s a long shot, but perhaps something has arrived that could fix whatever issues your Windows installation is struggling to deal with. And since you’re using Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, pull up Apple Software Update and make sure there aren’t any new drivers or updates to install.

Finally, try reinstalling Boot Camp’s Windows Support Drivers, which might magically cure whatever is causing your system to blue screen upon launch. There’s no guarantee this will fix things, but it’s worth exploring before you take more drastic measures.

While you’re in Windows, you can also open up an elevated command prompt (search for “Command Prompt” in the Start Menu, right click on it, and select “Run as administrator”). From there, try running a simple “chkdsk /f” to conform there aren’t any issues with your file system. You can also try “chkdsk /r /f” for a much more thorough analysis and fixing process, but it’ll take a lot longer. If your hard drive is failing and that’s the reason behind your Windows issues, it’s also possible you might not get any additional information from chkdsk. You’ll want to use some other techniques to confirm you’re ok (or headed toward disaster).

You can also run “sfc /verifyonly” followed by “sfc /scannow” in the same elevated command prompt. If the first command found any corruption in your Windows system files, the second command should fix them.

Once you’ve finished this, consider pulling up the Windows Troubleshooter. Pull up the old-school Control Panel (via the Start Menu) and select Troubleshooting. Then, click on “Fix problems with Windows Update,” and see what the utility finds (if anything!)

Finally, click on your Start Menu, click on the Power icon, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and click on Restart. This should boot you into Windows 10’s Advanced Startup options menu. Click on Troubleshoot, click on Advanced options, and try using the Startup Repair option to see if that can solve your Windows problem.

If all else fails, then a wipe and restore might be your best option. Save all your critical Windows 10 files to a flash drive or cloud storage, then launch macOS and use Boot Camp Assistant to remove your Windows OS. Use Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool to download a new, fresh .ISO of Windows 10, and then use Boot Camp to reinstall that on your Mac. Once Windows is up and running, make sure you’ve installed any updates from Apple (the aforementioned Windows Support Drivers and Apple Software Update) first, then install all the WIndows Updates Microsoft offers, then start putting your files and apps back on your system once you’ve verified that everything feels right.

Don’t worry; it takes a lot less time than it sounds like.

A Real-World Review of the Canon 1D X Mark III

As many of you know, I have been lucky enough to have a Canon EOS 1D X Mark III in my possession for more than a month now. People have been asking me to review this new top-of-the-line camera, but I really wanted to put it through its paces in order to do a fair review.

There are lots of photographers or tech reviewers who write reviews of a new product, basically looking at the spec sheets, or holding it in their hands for a couple of minutes. But in my mind, there is no better way to review a product than to use it as my primary camera for a while and really get to know it in detail.

Now that I have become pretty familiar with the ins and outs of this camera, it is time to share my findings with all of you.

So… on to the testing.

I took the camera out of the box and was happy to see that the body is very similar to the previous models, with buttons and joysticks right where I expect them. I was also happy to see a familiar battery and charger that is basically the same as the previous model.

The one big difference is that the new camera has two CFExpress card slots, which as many of you know, I was really hoping for. I like this for two reasons:

1. I like having the two extremely fast cards instead of one fast card and one legacy card format which slows everything down. This is really important because I always shoot RAW images to both cards for redundancy.

2. I like having 2 card slots using the same card format. I always found it frustrating to have a CFast slot and a CompactFlash slot in the same camera.

The first photos taken with the Canon 1D X Mark III were taken in my backyard. I like to use a new camera for non-client shoots for a while to build trust and familiarity with the camera and memory cards. The last thing I would do is use this camera on a paying job before I knew how to control it. I need to know that the images will be captured correctly in the camera and stored correctly on the memory cards before using it in a real-world situation.

This was also a time for me to try out the new CFExpress cards from ProGrade Digital. I had inserted a 512GB card in slot 1 and a 1TB card in slot 2, so capacity was not a problem!

The first couple of photos were of my dog, Cooper, who was nice enough to pose for me. It was my first time holding the camera and trying to the new smart controller for moving the focus point (more on that in a little bit). No fast action here, but it gave me a chance to inspect the image quality of the camera, which looked really great.

We were dog-sitting for a friend and our dog Cooper decided to play with Milo and give me some action shots. This was the first time trying the fast burst shooting of 16fps. The first thing I noticed with the 1D X Mark III was that it felt totally familiar in my hands.

Having used a 1D X and a 1D X Mark II in the past, I felt right at home shooting with the new body. The one big difference is that the new model has a touch screen LCD. I have gotten used to this on my Canon 5D Mark IV and find it very useful when shooting in the field.

Shooting at the fast burst rate enabled me to catch this shot of Cooper with all four paws off the ground. (Cooper forgets that he is 8 years old and still thinks he is a puppy).

This was my first chance to play around with the new smart controller. What is the smart controller? Canon took the back button focus button and added a new twist. This button now acts as a virtual joystick, so that if I move my thumb along the back of the button, the focus point will move accordingly. This can be incredibly handy, but also takes some getting used to.

There were a couple of times when I pushed the back button to focus and inadvertently moved the focus point to a location I did not want. But, with time, I have gotten used to this and really appreciate the feature a lot. What I have found is that the smart controller is optimum when shooting portraits, but I still prefer a locked single point of focus for sports.

My last trip, before all this COVID-19 craziness, was to Las Vegas for the WPPI show. I was not planning on bringing my 1D X Mark III to Las Vegas, but right before leaving, I had the offer to meet up with my buddy Drew, Canon USA’s top tech guy, who offered to help me customize the settings to get the most out of the new features of the camera. That turned out to be awesome, and I will tell you more about that in a minute.

While at the show, there was a rain booth set up for people to photograph models dancing in water. I saw this as a perfect time to try out these new settings.

I used the new 1D X Mark III at it’s full speed at 16 frames per second, with a Canon 24-105mm lens to capture the dancers. The super-fast frame rate of the camera allowed me to capture them at the peak of action.

The newer focus system also did a very good job of locking in on the dancers as they moved around at a fairly quick pace.

As I mentioned, Drew sat down with me to give me pointers on the new camera. And there is a lot to learn on this new piece of hardware. The Canon 1D X Mark III looks a lot like the Canon 1D X Mark II, but looks can be deceiving. What is under the magnesium alloy body is very different from the previous model.

One of the biggest differences of the 1D X Mark III is the new face and head detection. I was shown how to tweak the camera to take advantage of the face and head detection covering most of the frame. This means that once I locked in on a person, it would follow them even if they moved off-center from the lens.

I got credentials to shoot the San Jose Earthquakes game and put the camera to a test. I mounted the Canon 200-400mm lens to the 1D X Mark III and found the focusing system to be noticeably faster and more accurate than the 1D X Mark II.

I would lock focus on a particular athlete and then let the camera follow them from that point. As long as I kept the athlete in the frame, the tracking stayed on them, even if someone briefly ran in between them and me. This allowed me to capture images like this, where the Earthquake player is in perfect focus even though he is not in the center of the image.

The camera is capable of shooting 16 frames per second (fps) when using the shutter and 20 fps when in live view mode. This is great except that I can not imagine shooting a sporting event in live view and trying to follow fast action using the screen on the back of the camera. But, needless to say, 16 fps is plenty fast and allowed me to easily capture the peak of action during the game.

Even though I was shooting in RAW mode using the ProGrade Digital CFExpress memory cards, I never once filled the buffer of the camera. These cards can transfer 1600MB/s per second, which is nothing short of amazing.

I kept the camera in Auto White Balance for the entire afternoon and found it to be very accurate in the representation of the colors.

Note: Some of you may be wondering about the video capabilities of the new camera. But since I am primarily a still photographer, I will leave the video review to the experts who know that side of the business way more than I do.

My next test of the camera was in a completely different environment. My niece and her husband asked if we could take portraits of their one-year-old son. This time I was using the camera at higher ISOs indoors and going outside with different lenses.

Patrick did not move at the speed of a soccer player, but he definitely moved faster than a year ago, when I took his baby photos. Once again, the 1D X Mark III (this time combined with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens) was tack sharp on his eyes.

After taking a bunch of portraits of the little guy on the grass and standing, they asked if I could get some photos of him in the swing. As soon as I started photographing him, I realized that this was a perfect test of the new focus system.

The following images really help tell the story of this new face and head tracking.

Using back button focus, I locked focus on Patrick and then hammered the shutter at the full speed of 16 fps. Even though his head was moving off-center of the frame, the focus stayed perfectly on him. You can scroll through the following images to see how accurate this was!

I figured that the black swing would interfere with the focusing of his face, but that was not the case.

This sequence is a perfect example of how I set up the shot. In this image (above) I locked focus on Patrick when he was dead center and the focus point was right on this face.

Then, as he was going back and forth, I just held down the back button and the focus points moved with him.

You can see here that his face is well off the center of the image, but the focus is still perfect. If I were to try this with the previous Canon models, I would have had to move the camera and lens to keep the focus point on his face. This would have been very difficult to do and would have yielded a lot less useable images.

The Canon 1D X Mark III has a newly designed 20.1-megapixel CMOS sensor which is ample for most of my photography. Do I wish for a little more resolution? Maybe. I do like the file sizes of the Canon 5D Mark IV which captures at 30.4MP, but having clean images at higher ISOs is still the most important thing to me. And I know that cramming more megapixels onto a sensor can degrade the high ISO sensitivity.

A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a portrait shoot for a young lady who was about to have her bat mitzvah. Well…until it was postponed due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak. For this shoot, I used the Canon 1D X Mark III with a Canon 600EX-RT flash mounted on the hot shoe of the camera.

Canon has designed a new low pass filter for better lens sharpness, and the image quality of the camera is exceptional, with the colors, skin tones and clarity being everything I was expecting from a pro camera. I don’t fully understand how the new DIGIC X image processor works, but I can tell you that everything in this camera is fast. From focusing speed, the processing of the image, to data transfer to the card.

There was one anomaly though. When I take portraits, I almost always do so in a slow burst mode. There is no need to shoot at 16 fps, and yet I never have my cameras set to a single-shot mode. I don’t like the single-shot mode since I always want to be prepared to shoot multiple images when if a perfect moment arises.

With every other Canon DSLR I have used, the slow burst mode is a predictable sequence of shots. I hit the button and I get “click….click….click”. Weirdly enough, when I had my flash on the camera and I was shooting outdoors, the frame rate was a bit erratic. I expected “click…click…click” at a predictable pace and instead I got “click..click…click.click.click” or “click…click.click…..click”. I am hoping that this is something that Canon will fix in a future firmware update.

After using the new camera for numerous shoots, I felt comfortable using it to create images at a client’s bar mitzvah. For their portraits, I loved using the smart controller to easily move the focus point out of the center and taking full advantage of the 191 focus points.

While spending time with Canon in Las Vegas, I was also shown how to use the 1D X Mark III in mirrorless mode. Since the mirror is locked out of place, this allows me to shoot with absolutely no shutter noise at all. Combining this silent mode with the face tracking autofocus is a real game-changer.

For this bar mitzvah, I was using the Canon 200-400mm lens on the 1D X Mark III, mounted on a Gitzo gimbal fluid head and tripod. It was awesome to lock focus on the boy’s face and let the camera track his movements while I silently took photos.

While shooting this way, I came across another weird anomaly. As I mentioned earlier, I like to shoot in a slow burst most of the time. When taking these photos, I had the camera in Live View mode (essentially shooting mirrorless) and also had the camera set to slow burst. But when I hit the shutter release I saw that the camera was capturing at the fastest burst rate of 20 fps.

This is complete overkill for an event like this. I sent a text to the Canon expert from the back of the Temple and he replied back and told me that when in Live View, the camera will capture either a single shot or full speed. There is currently no in-between. This is something else that I hope is changed in a future firmware release.

When I photograph events, it is quite common for me to shoot full RAW for the service and then switch to a smaller file size for the party. In the past, that meant that I would switch my files from RAW to MRAW. On the Canon 5D Mark IV, that meant that I was switching from a file size of 30MP to 17MP and a resolution of 6720×4480 down to 5040×3360.

So you can imagine my surprise when I got to the party and went to change the 1D X Mark III to MRAW and it wasn’t there. All I saw was RAW and something called CRAW, but both were listed at the same resolution of 5472×3648. It was time for another text message to my Canon contact asking for urgent help.

He explained to me that MRAW has been replaced with CRAW (in the new CR3 files) and that even though they are the same resolution, the CRAW file is more compressed. I recently tested this and found that an image taken in RAW was 25.8MB and the same exact image at CRAW was 14.3MB in size. When zooming in at 400%, I could see how the increased compression decreased the quality a bit, but it was only a slight difference.

I love the idea of having the same resolution with higher compression than a smaller resolution.

There are certain key moments during a bar mitzvah celebration, and the family members being lifted in the chair is one of them. For the last 6 years, I have relied on the Canon 1D cameras to capture this moment. Why? Because the focus system is more accurate than the Canon 5D and the camera can write to two cards faster than the less expensive cameras.

The Canon 1D X Mark III definitely proved that it could lock focus even in low light, and wrote to the two CFExpress cards faster than my flash units could keep up.

With all of this said, there are still features of the Canon 1D X Mark III that I have yet to explore, and I look forward to doing so in the near future. As many of you now know, the Summer Olympics in Tokyo has been postponed. This postponement is a major disappointment for the organizers, the athletes, the public, and me. I was so excited to use this new camera at the Games. But I guess that will have to wait for a while longer before I get that chance.

Looking on the positive side, it gives me that much more time to get familiar with the new camera before the big event.

Huawei’s Watch GT 2E is a sporty redesign of its last smartwatch

Huawei has a new sporty smartwatch it’s announcing alongside its flagship P40 smartphone series. The Huawei Watch GT 2E includes 100 workout modes, like rock climbing, skateboarding, and parkour, and has storage for up to 500 songs, Huawei says. The red and green versions of the device feature a similar design to the Nike Editions of Apple’s smartwatches, with a rubber watchband covered in small holes.

The smartwatch features broadly similar specs to last year’s Watch GT 2. It’s got a 1.39-inch OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 454 x 454, 4GB of memory, it uses the company’s Kirin A1 chipset, and Huawei says it should last 14 days on a single charge. However, new for this version of the device is blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring via a dedicated IR sensor. The watch is water resistant up to 50m, supports GPS, and has two physical buttons on the right-hand side of its watchface. As well as the red and green, the watch is also available with black and white straps, while the watchface itself is available in silver or black.

Alongside the new Huawei Watch GT 2E, Huawei has also announced a new gold variant of its existing 42mm GT 2 smartwatch, which maintains the same overall design of the previous smartwatch but with a new gold finish on its steel casing.

The new Watch GT 2E will retail for €199 in Europe, while the gold edition of the Watch GT 2 will be priced starting at €229 for a version with a white strap or €249 for a red strap. Huawei says the watches will be available in April.

Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) Review: A Thinner Workstation

Workstation laptops have to navigate a contradiction. While the key feature of a workstation is power, laptops sell themselves on their portability. With the ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) ($1,559.00 to start; $3,119.00 as tested), Lenovo wants to bridge that gap, giving users a full Intel Xeon E-2276M CPU and Nvidia Quadro T2000 4GB graphics experience, while keeping the computer’s weight down to 3.7 pounds and its thickness below a seventh of an inch. 

Design

Visually, the ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) features the same classic minimal, somewhat industrial ThinkPad design that the brand has more or less been using since its very first model in 1992. Only available in black, our review unit did come with an optional UHD-display and exclusive “carbon fiber weave” checkerboard pattern across the lid. That, however, didn’t stop it from attracting fingerprints. But the P1 (Gen 2) has little else to speak of in terms of flair. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, and brand loyalists will appreciate the ThinkPad logos printed diagonally in corners on both the lid and inside, as well as the classic red TrackPoint in the center of the keyboard.

It’s a rugged, MIL-Spec-certified design that aims to appeal more to power-users than trend chasers, and that mentality applies to the build quality as well. The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) is sturdy, encased in a carbon fiber and magnesium alloy that offers little give even under force. The screen also didn’t move much under deliberate force, and I didn’t notice any give when typing normally on the keyboard. Even when pressing down hard, the deck barely budged. 

Starting on the P1 (Gen 2)’s left side, the I/O here includes the charging port, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, one HDMI 2.0 out connection, an RJ45 Ethernet extension, and a 3.5mm jack that works as a combination headphone and microphone jack. On the right, the laptop comes with a Kensington lock slot, two USB 3.1 Type-A slots, an SD card reader, and an optional smart card reader (which our review unit did not have).

It’s a robust suite of connections that, while not out of the ordinary for a machine intended as a professional workstation, still offers compatibility with most external devices without needing a dongle — that is, except for standard Ethernet cables, which won’t work with the P1 (Gen 2) without an extra $20 adapter. 

At 3.7 pounds, the P1 (Gen 2) offers noticeable but ultimately negligible heft for a workstation computer, and it’s 14.2 inch x 9.7 inch x 0.7 inch measurements mean it will fit in most laptop bags.

Workstation Performance 

Our review unit for of the ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) came with an Intel Xeon E-2276M CPU, an Nvidia Quadro T2000 4GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe SSD for storage. This makes for a capable workstation, which we opted to compare against the HP ZBook 15 G6.

The ThinkPad lost out to the heavier, pricier ZBook on both Geekbench 5.0 and our Handbrake video editing test, which compares how long it takes computers to transcode a 4K video to 1080p, though it did outspeed the ZBook just a touch on file transfer rate. This wasn’t a huge surprise – the ZBook was specced with a higher-powered Intel Xeon E-2286M, Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 and 64GB of RAM.

Specifically, the ThinkPad scored 4,426 on Geekbench 5.0 against the ZBook’s 7,680. Its Handbrake time was 12 minutes and 2 seconds against the ZBook’s 7 minutes and 18 seconds, and its file transfer rate was 1,694 MBps vs the ZBook’s 1,272 MBps.

The Lenovo also lost to the ZBook in Puget System’s Adobe Creative Suite benchmarks, which test how well computers can run Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects under load. For Photoshop, the ThinkPad earned a score of 639 against the ZBook’s 792 and in Premiere, the scores lined up to 327 against 464. After Effects had a slightly greater disparity, with the ThinkPad only scoring 675 against the ZBook’s 858.

We’re also incorporating unofficial benchmarks from SPECworkstation 3 into our testing routine (official benchmarks need to be submitted to SPEC). SPECworkstation outputs dozens of scores per test, so we’ve also done the extra work of calculating the geometric mean of each test, which is what we’re using to compare laptops.

The ThinkPad took 164.3 seconds to complete the Blender benchmark over the ZBook’s 119.8 seconds, and 130.7 seconds to finish the FSI financial modeling benchmark against the ZBook’s 74.8 seconds. The ThinkPad’s GPU tests also hit lower frames per second (FPS) on Catia (111.5), Creo (50.9) and Showcase (37.2) than the Zbook, which scored over double the FPS on all three. In these tests, we take a geometric mean of the many scores each workload produces.

We also ran our usual Cinebench R20 stress test, which involved running Cinebench 20 times on a loop. Here, the ThinkPad actually matched the ZBook on CPU speed, with both laptops running at an average clock speed of 3.3GHz during the test. For temperature, however, the ThinkPad ran slightly hotter than the ZBook, hitting an average of 89.8 degrees Celsius (193.64 Fahrenheit) against the ZBook’s 84.1 degrees Celsius (183.38 Fahrenheit). That’s not surprising given the thinner frame of the Lenovo laptop.

Taking into account that our ZBook review unit was equipped with twice the ThinkPad’s RAM (64 GB), a slightly more powerful Intel Xeon-2286M CPU, and a stronger Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 GPU, the scores make sense. While our ThinkPad may have lagged behind our ZBook in performance, it also cost $3,119 against the ZBook’s $4,695, still giving buyers a powerful system while also saving them over $1,000 on the price. Additionally, the Lenovo laptop is about 2 pounds lighter and slimmer, making it much more portable without losing too much power.

Display

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) offers four different display options — two that are in FHD and two that feature full 4K. All except the least-expensive option also come equipped with HDR. Our review unit came with the most expensive of the displays, a 15.5-inch 4K OLED touchscreen, which is also the only option with touch. 

Watching the Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer, even at just 1080p, felt like I was in a movie theater. The classic video game mascot’s blue fur popped off the screen, alongside the rest of the colorful film’s palette, with no noticeable bleed or oversaturation. I could easily follow the action as well, no matter how fast it got, and overall I experienced a rich picture.

I also watched the 4K open source short Tears of Steel, which has more dark scenes on display than the family-friendly Sonic movie. It was still easy to follow the action, and the OLED screen not needing a backlight allowed the blacks to be deeper than I’m used to seeing. This also made it easy to distinguish between the scene’s darker colors to appreciate the full 4K texturing detail put into the film’s 3D models. I could also make out plenty of details on the actors’ faces, but uh, we’re not talking about Chris Hemsworth here.

Viewing angles were less impressive. While I could follow the action just fine looking at the ThinkPad from the side, from above, and at a distance, side angles did suffer from window glare. This wasn’t enough for me to lose track of my movies, but it also wasn’t great for taking advantage of the screen’s otherwise impressive colors. Lenovo advertises anti-glare technology on the other three display options, which might be worth considering if you’ll often be using your laptop under harsh lighting or near sunny windows.

Our tests confirmed my anecdotal experience, with our review unit able to reproduce 153.7% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. This comes in over 30% higher than the HP ZBook 15 G6, which could only recreate 118.6% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The ZBook was brighter in our tests, with 614 nits over the ThinkPad’s 486.6 nits, though I never felt strained by the ThinkPad.

Keyboard and Touchpad 

Lenovo’s ThinkPad keyboards have a strong reputation, and the P1 (Gen 2) delivers what fans would expect. Key travel is comfortably longer than on non-workstations, and keys have a clicky feeling when the laptop registers a press.

I mostly scored between 55 – 60 words per minute on 10fastfingers.com using the ThinkPad, which was higher than my usual thin and light, but didn’t quite hit the usual score of 60 – 65 that I tend to get on my ideal set-up.

Our review unit’s keyboard also included a backlight with low and high settings, but the laptop’s opaque keycaps meant that it was barely noticeable regardless of how high it was set. It probably won’t offer much use outside of dark rooms.

Like all ThinkPads, the P1 (Gen 2) also includes a TrackPoint at the center of the keyboard. The idea is to allow the user to move their cursor without lifting their fingers off the home row, and its textured surface and premium-feeling stick certainly make it one of the better TrackPoints available. It’s useful for those who prefer some more retro navigation or who need more ergonomic cursor movement. It also doesn’t detract from the trackpad or typing experience for users like myself.

On that note, the trackpad feels smooth to the touch, allowing for precise control with no discomfort. There are physical mouse buttons above the trackpad, which is not my preference, but the trackpad is also clickable, negating that concern for most use cases. MultiTouch gestures were easy to pull off thanks to the P1 (Gen 2)’s Windows precision drivers, and the 3.9 x 2.6 inch trackpad also gave me plenty of room to pull them off.

Audio

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) has two speakers, one on the bottom of each side of the computer. The case holes for each speaker are about as small as the laptop’s rubber raisers, but don’t be fooled. This computer still commands a full range of sound.

Listening to Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” the full stomping bass at the beginning of the song came through clearly, while lesser speakers often either produce clapping sounds instead, if not fully omit the bass. Similarly, the screeches and whines of the guitar solo toward the end of the song sounded appropriately physical, with the P1 (Gen 2) easily recreating enough small intonations in its playback to avoid the tinny experience I’ve had on other, cheaper laptops.

The P1 (Gen 2) also comes equipped with Dolby Atmos, which uses software to simulate a surround sound system even on speakers. In both a small-enclosed booth and a medium sized conference room, this convincingly spread the laptop’s sound around me, not only allowing me to hear my music at a good distance, but also helping to give it a fuller, less artificial body. 

Short of a hooking up a robust external speaker setup, the ThinkPad’s internal speaker system is easily one of the better listening experiences I’ve had on a laptop, with plenty of detail for not just casual, but professional use.

Upgradeability

The ThinkPad is fairly easy to upgrade. The only tools you’ll need for the job are a Phillips head screwdriver (I used a size 0) and maybe a spudger. Simply loosen the 7 screws on the bottom, remove the plate, and you’re good to go.

Inside, you’ll find the 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi card, and battery immediately accessible, and two RAM slots hidden behind two flaps for heat protection, one of which had a 32GB RAM stick inside on our model.

This leaves the ThinkPad with room for an additional SSD as well as an additional RAM stick if you configure it similar to our review unit. That said, having two RAM slots but only using one means the 32GB SODIMM is single channel, which could slightly lower performance in some tasks. We would have preferred two 16GB sticks across each slot, but at least this setup lets you match the ZBook’s 64GB of RAM just by purchasing one more 32GB stick.

Battery Life

Our review unit for the P1 (Gen 2) came equipped with an 80Wh battery, but you’ll still want to keep the charger with the laptop.

The P1 only managed to run our test, which continuously browses the web, streams video and runs OpenGL tests at 150 nits of brightness, for 5 hours and 53 minutes before powering down. This is still about 40 minutes longer than the HP Zbook 15 G6, so it’s not a dealbreaker, especially for a workstation computer. 

Heat

While running theCinebench R20 stress test, we measured the ThinkPad P1’s heat at the center of the keyboard, on the touchpad, and across the whole bottom.

Situated between the G and H keys, the center of the keyboard test registered 45.7 degrees Celsius (114.26 Fahrenheit), while the touchpad hit a much cooler 29.3 degrees Celsius (84.74 Fahrenheit). 

The hottest part of the computer was on the bottom of the laptop, which registered at 56.2 degrees Celsius during our test.

Webcam

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) uses a 720p webcam above the display, which is also equipped with an IR Camera for Windows Hello. Like most laptop webcams, it won’t be useful for much outside of its intended video calling purpose. It was grainy in low-light, and in a photo I took at my desk, the blues on my hat and shirt appeared slightly darker than in real-life. Oddly enough, though, the yellows in my blonde hair showed up much brighter than usual

Even with a workstation setup, this isn’t unusual. What is noteworthy about the ThinkPad is the proprietary ThinkCover, a manual switch that slides over the webcam to prevent hackers from spying on users. The ThinkPad also comes installed with the Lenovo Vantage app, which lets you disable the webcam on a software level. Just make sure not to disable your webcam by accident in Vantage, or else it might be difficult to track down the problem later. Our review unit, for instance, actually shipped with the webcam disabled by Vantage.

Software and Warranty

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) mercifully comes mostly free of bloatware, including usual Windows Home pack-ins like Candy Crush and Netflix. It does include a number of pre-installed programs, but these tend to lean towards productivity rather than selling the user on additional products.

The most noticeable of these is Lenovo Vantage, which ships already on the home bar and consolidates Lenovo’s previous Companion, Settings, and Account Portal apps into one neat package. Vantage allows users to run various updates and diagnostics, check how secure Wi-Fi networks are before connecting, identify their system’s serial and product numbers, and disable accessories like the camera and microphone on a software level.

The ThinkPad also comes with Lenovo Pen Settings installed, though it doesn’t ship with a Lenovo Pen. This program allows for easy mapping and sensitivity control for Lenovo Pens, outside of the more finicky Windows Pen Settings app, making it useful for those planning to buy the accessory. 

Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision promise increased media fidelity, with Atmos emulating surround sound on the laptop’s built-in speakers and Vision offering “Bright, Dark, and Vivid” screen settings. Were this not Dolby, these programs might lean closer to bloatware, but our listening experience proved Atmos convincing enough to back up its hype, and Vision is what allows the laptop to use HDR.

Other programs like SmartAudio3, the Thunderbolt Control Center and XRite Color assistant let users manipulate their settings with ease.

There’s also “Glance by Mirametrix,” which uses eye tracking to move the mouse cursor and even windows across monitors based on where you’re looking, as well as notify you when someone is standing over your shoulder. I don’t normally want most of these features, so I largely ignored this. But if these features sound intriguing to you, they’re there.

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) comes with a standard one year warranty.

Configurations

We tested a custom-built Thinkpad P1 (Gen 2) with an Intel Xeon E-2276M CPU, an Nvidia Quadro T2000 4 GB GDDR5 GPU, 32 GB of DDR4 2667 MHz RAM, a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD for storage, a built-in fingerprint reader and a UHD OLED display. This configuration costs $3,119.00.

The ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) starts at $1,559.00, and comes with an Intel Core i5-94000H, Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630, 8GB of DDR4 2666MHz RAM, a 256GB PCIe SSD, a built-in fingerprint reader, and an FHD IPS display. 

If you don’t mind dropping the OLED display, you can also grab a pre-built version with all of our review unit’s other bells and whistles for $2,759.00, which will save you $360.

Bottom Line

The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) offers workstation-level power with a thinner profile and lighter weight than most. It will easily fit in most laptop bags, even those meant for thin and lights, and it won’t overburden your back while doing so.

The laptop also offers ThinkPad’s signature look and feel, which while a little too industrial for my personal tastes, pulls off its aesthetic well and definitely feels sturdy thanks to its carbon fiber and magnesium alloy. That solid build quality also extends to the keyboard. 

Lenovo’s laptop does offer lower performance than the HP ZBook 15 G6, but is significantly smaller. And even decked out to the max like our review unit was, the ThinkPad P1 still comes in at $1,576 less than our also maxed-out review ZBook.

At $3,119, though it starts at $1,559, the ThinkPad P1 (Gen 2) is by no means a low-priced laptop. But it offers good performance as well as premium components. If you want to carry it around with you everywhere, its price and portability make it an attractive buy.

What is the run time of lenovo battery?

lenovo batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:

  • 14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
  • 14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours

Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour.

How to do when ac adapter buzzing noise?

Buzzing in an AC adapter can mean a number of things, but often it is related to a damaged adapter, poor grounding or phasing issues with your power. Figuring out exactly why your AC adapter is buzzing will probably require some troubleshooting, but in the end you can probably isolate the problem and get rid of the frustrating noise.

Check for any obvious damage to the adapter. If any of the outer rubber coating has been damaged so that the conductor inside is exposed, this could allow interference to enter the current and cause a buzzing sound. Untie any knots if the cord has become knotted. Make sure that the connection where the cord meets the actual box adapter is still intact; this sometimes can become damaged and make a poor connection.

Repair any damage with electrical tape. Cover all exposed areas.

Plug the AC adapter into the same outlet as the other equipment you are using. Some apartments and houses have multiple phases of power that can create audio interference if mixed together, so running everything off of the same phase might get rid of the buzz.

Run your equipment through a surge protecting power strip or, if necessary, a power conditioner. Audio and video equipment is especially susceptible to interference caused by ground looping. A power conditioner will smooth out the current and protect your equipment from any peaks or spikes in current.

Why laptop adapter light blinks?

Question description:

A few days ago studying in the UH library, I noticed my laptop all of a sudden wasn’t receiving power and the light my AC adapter was blinking. After unplugging it from the laptop, that is, from the power jack, the AC adapter’s light turned solid green again. Then, as you might guess, after plugging it back into the laptop’s power jack, the light on the adapter would again start blinking and no power would circulate.

After brief research, I learned that I could take the battery out and press the power button to relieve all currents and that after that everything would work fine. Well, I did get it to work, however not my this method. After trying it several times and failing, I figured I’d just use the laptop without the battery, since it powered the laptop without the battery in it. Then the idea of just placing the battery back in the laptop while I was receiving power came up. So as the laptop is working I placed the battery in and SUCCESS the AC adapter no longer was blinking and it was successfully transferring power to the laptop and battery.

Now, however, several days later, in a similar library, I noticed I wasn’t receiving power again. When I unplugged the adapter from the laptop, the light on the adapter continued to blink. This was not the case previously. Previously, the light on the adapter would only blink when plugged into the laptop and would turn solid green when I disconnected it from the laptop. Now however, without the laptop ever coming into the picture, the AC adapter, by itself, not plugged into anything other than the wall, constantly blinks. The laptop receives no power, and I’m stuck.

Also, used my sisters AC adapter, she has a similar laptop, and everything worked fine. Meanwhile, my AC adapter, while plugged into the same power jack in the wall, just blinks.. and blinks…

someone help.

Answer:

The AC adapter’s light turned solid green means ac adapter have a solid out put. When the light blinking, it means that the adapter is trying to output again and again, and it keeps flashing to indicate that the output was failed. You need check laptop dc jack or a MOSFET on laptop motherboard. Usually one laptop model develops this kind of fault and then many of the same model start to fail.
