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

Based on CES buy thinkpad now or wait for the new cpus?

Maybe not so obvious: buy used at the price you can afford. I like to see what’s coming out today, so i can target what I’ll buy in 2-3 years. Thinkpads have been pretty underwhelming for a while now. If the next version that Lenovo releases was a big a jump as macs going from Intel to m chips then

Update: I fixed my defective X1 Carbon Gen 9 and upgraded the display

Nice work - always nice to see a ThinkPad saved from the landfill However, I don't know what the prices are like in your country, but IMHO that's really high for a Gen 9.

Laptop inför plugg

För det du ska göra kan du egentligen köpa en laptop för 2k men eftersom det är ett arbetsredskap som man ägnar mycket tid med tycker jag det ska vara snyggt och behagligt att använda.

Update: I fixed my defective X1 Carbon Gen 9 and upgraded the display

I just noticed, that Lenovo has the 4K 500-nits screen, complete assembly, on sale right now. 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. But a very cheap option for a screen replacement none

College Student Looking to buy a thinkpad that’s less then 300!

Consolidated Computers. Just got a mint condition Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 9 for $380, and it's amazing. If it's still above your budget which I get, you can probably find something close to it at 300.
