Juiced back up
My coworker is totally in on the bambu train. He bought a P1S, sold it because he wanted the shiny stuff of the x1 carbon. 4 month later sold the x1c to buy the H2D and now has sold the H2D to buy a H2C, not even half a year later. That would drive me nuts.

What’s all the hyper with the X1 Carbons
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

Do you prefer light and thin ThinkPad or heavy and thick ThinkPad?
I prefer durable. And light. Like my X1 carbon. Except for the USB-C ports.

Was zur Hölle ist mit den ThinkPad-Preisen passiert? KI hin oder her, das ist doch nicht mehr normal.
Waren sie. Nur gerade nicht, weil Apple seine Einkäufe lange im voraus plant und Lieferanten unter Druck setzt. Ich habe mein TP X1 Carbon 12th Gen im Maximalausbau (Oled, 64GB RAM, 4TB Storage, H195) für ~2.6k vor etwa 2 Jahren regulär via Lenovo gekauft. Für den Preis hätte ich mir vielleicht ein

I saw this guy talking about that thinkpad can offer you many upgradable parts in older models are he fr?
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

Das erste ThinkPad X1 Carbon hat 2011 1400$ gekostet. Thinkpads waren nie die günstigere Alternative, sondern super robuste, hochwertige und reparierbare Businessgeräte.

Unhappy X1(G9) owner, want some advice downgrading
4k display kills your battery. Avoid X1 Carbon if you don't like soft touch coating. Some other models might have a soft touch as well, so look that up before buying. I'd go with the same CPU you had, 1185g7 is a good option on a budget. Or AMD 6650u, 6850u are still powerful enough, battery efficie
