After two to three years of 10-13 hour days, their Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Gen 9 is still great but has had cooling and overheating issues that cause freezes and glitches.

Owner of the stolen X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition says the driver kept throwing errors all the time, which was already annoying them.

Finds the Z13 big and not something to hold for hours, but the performance and screen size keep them satisfied and the experience is unlike anything else.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 249 days ago

Bought the X1 2-in-1 with the haptic touchpad and uses it with the TrackPoint; the emulated buttons work fine and feel natural.

Only problems with the Flow Z13 came from Windows; a clean install with G-Helper instead of ASUS software keeps it working fine.

Outdated ASUS display driver needs a registry hack for Battlefield 6 and still crashes; the newer AMD drivers are the only workaround, though the device is otherwise great.

Reddit · r/ASUS · 261 days ago

Lost software brightness control on a portable monitor after updating to the latest AMD drivers, and is unhappy that the ASUS display driver is months old.

Uses the laptop with Ubuntu and cannot fix that keyboard and touchpad stay active in tablet or tent mode.

Reddit · r/ASUSROG · 306 days ago

Gets headaches and nausea from the Z13 screen compared with a MacBook Pro XDR display, suspecting the backlight, flicker or dithering.

New owner finds the built-in WWAN very solid with good 5G coverage and speeds, and mostly stays on cellular; touchpad and TrackPoint buttons feel responsive, and it feels nicer than their work T14s.

The Windows Hello camera on their X1 2-in-1 stopped working entirely; Lenovo swapped it under warranty and it still does not work.

Reddit · r/ASUS · 364 days ago

Bought the 2025 Z13 and used it for a month, mostly stationary. It suddenly died from spilled liquid metal and the warranty claim was rejected several times before being approved.

Bought earlier in the year; on Windows the keyboard was locked out at boot because the laptop thought it was in tablet mode, which pushed them to abandon Windows for Linux.

Hit the keyboard backlight bug after reboot and found a workaround by toggling the keyboard setting in Armoury Crate.

Reddit · r/ASUS · 374 days ago

Keyboard RGB would not light after reboot despite many fixes, so they swapped the unit for another; later traced it to an Armoury Crate update.

Reddit · r/ASUS · 374 days ago

Keyboard backlight stopped turning on after a Windows update, needing a manual toggle in Armoury Crate each time; rear glass lights also never stay on.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 409 days ago

Unit arrived after a month with the lid not closing flush straight out of the box; loves the machine otherwise but plans to return it given the price.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 410 days ago

Their work X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 is a cool laptop overall, but the Windows Hello IR camera recognizes them only about 20% of the time unless the lid is at a precise angle.

Month with a 268V OLED model on Windows: performs well for VMs and office work, but annoyed by plasticky keys, fingerprint reader replacing right Ctrl, no pen garage; otherwise solid and reliable, around 6-7 hours battery.

On Linux, auto-rotation initially did not work and they had to extract the Lenovo driver via wine; later got it working on Fedora, though the webcam still does not work.

Bought the Snapdragon Surface Pro 11 with 5G and calls it a dream, with good Windows compatibility, customisation and awesome battery life; app compatibility on ARM can be an issue.

Reddit · r/ASUSROG · 469 days ago

Confirms the Z13 draws little power while charging and gaming, but says it is picky and only accepts power bypass with certain chargers.

Reddit · r/ASUSROG · 536 days ago

Their Snapdragon Surface Pro 11 kept giving app-compatibility problems, which pushed them to buy a Z13 instead.

Long review of a Lunar Lake X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 on Linux: very solid metal build, best non-mechanical keyboard they have used, easily lasts an 11 hour workday, nearly everything works on Linux; pricey at sticker.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 588 days ago

Their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 webcam would not work on Fedora, Ubuntu or Windows, screen rotation failed, and it is noisy with short battery life.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 608 days ago

Really likes the X1 2-in-1 work upgrade, but the included pen is fine only for quick annotations, not for note-taking.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 650 days ago

After six months their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 (Core Ultra 7 165U, IPS) feels solid and light, runs cool with fans mostly off, and gets excellent battery life.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 667 days ago

Their 1920x1200 X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 with the non-MIPI camera has been fantastic on Linux: everything works out of the box and battery lasts about 8 hours.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 695 days ago

After months with their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 on Arch Linux the webcam still does not work, the pen lost its cap and quit, the fan is often loud and battery barely reaches three hours; they would pick the Gen 8.

Uses their IPS Yoga 7 2-in-1 Gen 9 as a work laptop: the glass screen is a reflective fingerprint magnet and too dim outdoors, though fine for class or work, and it feels sturdy so far.

A couple of days after getting their Yoga 7 2-in-1 Gen 9 (Ryzen 7 8840HS, 16 GB/512 GB) for university, they love it and are very satisfied.

Reddit · r/laptops · 971 days ago

Returned their Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Gen 9 (Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB): the build and rotating soundbar speakers were excellent, but the OLED is extremely glossy, the trackpad is not haptic and 16 GB was too little.

Reddit · r/laptops · 971 days ago

Returned their 2024 Spectre x360 14 (Core Ultra 7 155H, 32 GB): solid build, very good speakers and an excellent haptic trackpad, but the OLED's screen-door graininess was unbearable and it barely dims.
