ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9

I recently bought a broken X1 Carbon Gen 9 to repair and ended up replacing both the motherboard and keyboard to get it working. There was only one problem: the display. The stock display panel and its responsiveness felt really underwhelming, and I knew I wouldn't be happy sticking with it. Finding

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

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.

Might be a cheap option, although that screen is glossy and 60Hz, I don’t know what the exact panel model is, so can’t say anything about response time.

I tried to switch to Thinkpad several times, but without success. The first Thikpad device I used was a Lenovo Thinkpad T480. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I was given this laptop at work. It's not a premium laptop, but it worked well for its intended purpose. The only issue was that the WiFi w

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

Result: After quite a bit of looking around at info, there were a couple of cons to going with a P1. Size, weight, heat and battery were obviously on the list and of no surprise - those are always the tradeoffs. I also have a desktop PC which does anything heavy so an H series CPU wasn't going to re
