What’s all the hyper with the X1 Carbons
X1C is a carbon fiber composite, most others are an aluminum alloy + plastic. So you get a far sturdier chassis with a lower weight, making them ridiculously durable for their size. Lenovo has had a build partnership with Intel for this model forever so they get specifically engineered, making their

Do you prefer light and thin ThinkPad or heavy and thick ThinkPad?
I prefer durable. And light. Like my X1 carbon. Except for the USB-C ports.

Was zur Hölle ist mit den ThinkPad-Preisen passiert? KI hin oder her, das ist doch nicht mehr normal.
Waren sie. Nur gerade nicht, weil Apple seine Einkäufe lange im voraus plant und Lieferanten unter Druck setzt. Ich habe mein TP X1 Carbon 12th Gen im Maximalausbau (Oled, 64GB RAM, 4TB Storage, H195) für ~2.6k vor etwa 2 Jahren regulär via Lenovo gekauft. Für den Preis hätte ich mir vielleicht ein

Das erste ThinkPad X1 Carbon hat 2011 1400$ gekostet. Thinkpads waren nie die günstigere Alternative, sondern super robuste, hochwertige und reparierbare Businessgeräte.

Why is the X1 Carbon considered the most premium ThinkPad?
For me, the X1 Carbon is considered the “premium” ThinkPad mainly because of the design philosophy behind it rather than raw performance. Lenovo positions it as their showcase model the one that’s supposed to represent the brand at its best. In day-to-day use though, the differences aren’t as dramat

Kenapa harga bekas Thinkpad bisa jatuh jauh dari harga rilis nya dibanding Laptop merk lain?
ThinkPad itu biasanya gak dijual di retailer Lenovo resmi di mall (kalau pun ada, dikit sekali). Yang beli kantor. Setelah 5 tahun, dijual sekaligus ratusan. Harga setelah penyusutan sudah "Rp 0". Dijual berapa pun, kantor tetep "untung" dan masuk ke "other income". Jadi dijual murah, dengan kondisi

Chat, is this real? 2025 and only Laptop Apple MacBook decent than windows?
Gak ada yang absolut. Semua tergantung kebutuhan. Perlu ringan? Keduanya ada, tergantung budget. Perlu battery life? MacBook with Apple Silicon, hands down. Perlu build quality? Keduanya ada. Jangan bandingin laptop Windows 5 juta (N100 di OP, are you kidding me?) dengan MacBook Pro 20 juta. Perlu l

ThinkPad better than Latitude or EliteBook?
Linux compatibility? Equal on all 3 generally. Hinges that break less? Equal on all 3. Easier to service? Lenovo wins this. Easy to find HMM for almost every business model, while HP and Dell has them, much harder to find. Lighter weight? Thinner? Depends on the exact models you're comparing. X1C vs

What laptop to get for remote working lawyer?
I use a thinkpad x1 carbon with a touchscreen I bought at microcenter. I’m a former computer engineer turned patent litigator and I lean on it about as much as you could imagine. The GPU can run several 4K panels if I want. Chassis is also solid and the output ports are unlikely to flake out by the
