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

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

I still daily drive one of these alongside a X1 Nano Gen 2 and to sum up my experience and what I've found when researching this online in the past... - There are a few references to mosfets burning themselves out (on Reddit and F

Where are you located? ;D I need help I just started having this issue on my gen9. I started having intermittent screen flicker issues that I couldn't track down but wanted to attribute to the 40an thunderbolt 3 dock + Windows 11. I was running Linux on the machine for months prior with no issues, o
