ThinkPad X1 Carbon

The X1 Carbons and T series feel nice (especially recent ones) but they're not a solid piece of metal so they're always going to have some creak compared to a MacBook. But the hinges are very solid and the keyboard praise is real. There are a lot of other compromises though compared to a MacBook. Wi

Használt, felújított üzleti gép, Thinkpad X vagy T széria, marseusból vagy latptopsystemből, fontos: ramot maxra upgradelni + SSD. Kerüld azokat hol már összeforrasztottak mindent mindennel, X1 carbon és társai.

You can get a refurb MacBook on eBay and it’s honestly a solid option for what you need. I’ve bought one myself from this listing https://ebay.us/Jpwgit and it’s still working fine, so the whole refurb is risky thing is a bit overblown if you stick to reputable sellers with good ratings and returns.

I’ve had most of X1 Carbon models since Gen 6 and although looking sleek they get hot quick in that little body resulting in fans blasting and being annoyance. Also, soldered and non-replaceable parts are a big no-no for me nowadays, especially with those high memory prices - I’ll rather take a lapt

Go for the T14 Gen 2 honestly. Yeah the X1 is cheaper and lighter but 8th gen memory vs 11th gen with Iris Xe is actually a pretty big jump especially if you're gonna mess around with Linux since newer gen tends to have better driver support out of the box. The RAM difference hurts a bit but you can

I've been part of the...Cult for a while now. I love using the TrackPoint and I like the way they look, and the fact that they can run almost any OS. I got a p14s gen 5 Intel variant about a year ago. Shortly after I bought a R52, which was dated inside from before IBM no longer owned ThinkPad. It h

Not too different to X1 carbon, you'll have to deal with tens of tiny screws or replace the entire C cover.

Yes, that keyboard was just muuahh. Never got my hands on X1 Carbon (was 2nd contender 4 years ago). Repairability is where I'm concerned and was concerned as well. Though I heard they've made the new Neo relatively repairable?

If you're looking at ThinkPads, the T series is really your best bet for optimal Linux compatibility. There are 16" models available. One thing I really don't like about the X1 Carbons is that you're pretty much stuck with the RAM you get because it's soldered (it's an ultrabook, after all, so thinn

X1 Carbon Gen 9 / Yoga Gen 6. It's a mess. And if I saw it correctly, Gen 13 again (Aura Edition). X1C Gen 12 is Ok. We do not always need access to the BIOS Chip but in case we need it the epoxy needs to be removed and the risk / reward (at least for us) than does not match.
