ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10

I use a thinkpad x1 carbon with a touchscreen I bought at microcenter. I’m a former computer engineer turned patent litigator and I lean on it about as much as you could imagine. The GPU can run several 4K panels if I want. Chassis is also solid and the output ports are unlikely to flake out by the

If I were at home most of the time, I’d get a cheaper laptop and a nicer desktop. Why pay for the portability and worse specs if you can afford to be attached to the wall? For on the go, I know tons of reporters do just fine with whatever cheapie laptop Walmart or Amazon has on sale at the time. Tha

If you don’t need Windows, get an Apple Silicon. If you need Windows, get a Windows laptop. As someone who loves the build of the MBP, I can really recommend a Dell XPS.

My partner's got a 3 or 4 year old Lenovo X1 Carbon and it's actually been super solid. Kind of surprised.

I've been using 43 Gnome from the day it came out. I have had zero issues. Although it's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 which is generally well supported. I would say, start with 42. In a few months upgrade to 43. That's what I would do as a new user to Linux.

Update guys! I was offered a used X1 Carbon Gen 10, “maxed out” with i7 (probably the P chip), 32GB RAM, 1TB and 2.8K OLED screen. The price: $600 USD! But the setback: broken webcam… but I can get an external one for under $50. I’ll meet with the seller to check its specs and condition in a couple
