ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9

Lenovo has decided to change the font, which has remained almost unchanged for 30 years The font has definitively changed before. Just look at the X1 Carbon Gen 9 compared to the Gen 8. But this new font Is by far the worst one 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

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

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

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 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

The X1C9 has had motherboards in Lenovo's clearance sale here in Europe. They are bound to reappear at some point. @OP: Lenovo has issued a BIOS update to slightly improve the issue. More importantly, it has been recommended to remove the black tape covering the USB-C ICs (both ports have one) and p

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

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. I just bought a gen 13 (well, X1 2 in 1 Gen 10 with same specs as X1C13 + 360-hinge and touchscreen + 4 years warranty) for £600,

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
