Dunno what you're smoking dude but new ThinkPads like the Gen 14 X1 Carbons look sleek and modern. They are slim while still having selections of HDMI, USBC, thunderbolt, USB a, 3.5mm audio, displayport, sd, SIM. They don't even come with RJ45. These things are crazy high spec for a laptop and are t

TBH I'm liking Macs more and more. My company is a remote, dispersed consultancy and allows users to choose Apple or Lenovo.

Just as a datapoint to anyone wondering what this actually means.... my current laptop is X1 Carbon Gen13, which has a Lunar Lake CPU/GPU. It was declared stable in the xe driver in May 2024.

X1C is a carbon fiber composite, most others are an aluminum alloy + plastic. So you get a far sturdier chassis with a lower weight, making them ridiculously durable for their size. Lenovo has had a build partnership with Intel for this model forever so they get specifically engineered, making their

Ram is so expensive now, I bought a near new thinkpad but it had soldered ram, price of ram would increase past my budget for the build. That's just a me problem though. I really needed something light and portable to tunnel into my home pc. ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 for 300usd 16gb system ram

To all the people who say Thinkpad is not slim, you haven't seen the x1 carbon. I chose it over the MacBook Pro my work was offering. Great screen colors. Decent audio. Very vivid display supporting HDR (10?) and Dolby vision. Most importantly, IT IS SO FREAKING LIGHT than the competition

There is a reason why Lenovo is selling certified refurbished X1 Carbon Gen 9 with high spec for dirt cheap at the moment. If it sounds to be good to be true… There is a inherent issue with gen 9 unfortunately so they had a huge return back to base from corporate rerun.
