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

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

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.

Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 9 Core i5 11th Gen If you get a Gen 10, the better. Lenovo is very compatible with Linux as compared to other laptop brands.

I purchased the X1 Carbon Gen 9 with 16gb ram and 256Gb ssd, Using a Lenovo Dongle to connect to external displays works great. Have had no issues with the usb c ports (fingers crossed). Using an elevated stand so it gets plenty of air. Currently running Debian 13 Sway wm, everything just works incl

I think the X1E is a solid choice. More keyboard travel. The CPU is more powerful than the X1C9's, the dGPU is nice if you have use for it and WON'T shorten battery life if you don't use it. It'll accept USB-C charging from chargers offering at least 60/65W up to the (then) USB-C maximum of 100W. No
