This is ridiculous tbh
That's the best part; you don't know how widespread this may actually/truly be. Not a lot of users immediately go to Reddit and say "LOOK AT MY GREEN LINE" I worked at Lenovo during the release of the X1 Carbon 9th generation; the internet still has notes on "what was happening" but it's a few spora

T14 G7 will be just a glorified E14 (opinion / rant)
Oh great, another one of these posts. -Centrered symbols means the B key can finally be on the same plane as the rest of the key symbols, which is one of the few things that annoys me to no end about every ThinkPad I own. I genuinely don't know how it's not be triggering everyone's OCD for the last

Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9 gen worth it for 200 USD?
Do confirm the BIOS is not locked, and or its not locked to a company, but that's very cheap. You could pay well over twice that in Europe. RAM is fixed, as it is on all X1 Carbons, but 16GB is fine for most uses. High quality bright display, fast, decent battery life, well made and light. You can u

X1 carbon gen 9 i7-1185G7 16GB RAM
I recently bought (and fixed) a broken X1 Carbon Gen 9. The reason I got the X1C9 is that it is the first X1 Carbon getting the 16:10 aspect ratio, and therefore one I could buy a defective one cheap. I am very happy with it, the build quality is impeccable and it feels really nice. My only complain

Update: I fixed my defective X1 Carbon Gen 9 and upgraded the display
Yes, the keyboard is an original replacement that I bought directly from Lenovo. They had a very good deal on an Icelandic layout keyboard, not the layout I wanted but it doesn't really bother me that much. The original keyboard had to be replaced due to several dead keys, and the palm rest had worn

How to avoid X1 Carbon Gen 9 USB-C Failure
Depends on what the actual underlying cause is, which isn't exactly known, only theories. I personally think since the same MOSFET is used in multiple devices and X1C9/X1Y6 is the only ones having significant failure rates, that it's going into thermal runaway situation exacerbated by proximity to m

My thinkpads and one friendly impostor
My current Thinkpad collection, I've owned over 20 Thinkpads over the years and started collecting in the past year or so again: My love: T480s, low power screen upgrade, 24GB of RAM, I love this machine, I used it to work and travel through Mexico with it, USB-C got messed up at the beach and MOBO

Is the X1 Carbon Gen 9 weak?
Deberían eliminar este post...el Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 9 es una auténtica joya de la tecnología...la calidad es excepcional, al lado de la chatarrada de portatiles que hacen hoy en día.

Lenovo 65W USB-C adapter failed again
I’m in the US. I have had three of the Lenovo 65W ones develop a bad connection close to the USB-C tip. Two took awhile, but the last one less than two months. I have read good things about Anker chargers so thinking about one of them. I will use whatever I get for my X1 Carbon Gen 9 and some other

X1 Yoga G6 - Battery Firmware Update failed
The ol 15w charging issue - i have the X1C9 and X1Y6, several of these models needed motherboard replacements from Lenovo to address this issue under warranty unless you want to replace the burnt out mosfets As for the firmware update, disable bitlocker, install the update/reboot
