Some mfs said "E series = E-Waste"
Idk i think the the recent-ish E and L series are underrated. In canada, browsing various marketplaces I could only find a t14 gen 1 or 2 (forgot which gen) with only an intel i5 10th gen when I could sometimes rarely find an eleventh gen. Whereas I found an L14 Gen 3 for $237 CAD with a 12th gen i3

Switched from M2 Air to the X1 Carbon 13th Gen. Some first impressions
_UPDATE 2: I returned it. The coil whine was driving me mad. It was not only during load but it also appeared during less stressfull scenarios like browsing and office work :/ Total no go for me. You can find a youtube link in this post. Then there was the issue with the speakers doing a "plop" soun

Ultralight laptop under 1 kg: Lenovo officially launches ThinkPad X13 Gen 7
You're doing something very wrong. My S14 gets 10 hours battery life on max brightness. You need to tune down the fresh rate to Macbooks 60hz and turn on dark mode system-wide. Also make sure Panel Self Refresh is on in Intel Graphics Software. I know my zenbooks s14 has a bigger battery, but the X1

Apple has five products launching this fall that we’ve waited a long time for
I have a X1 Carbon with a touchscreen because I needed something x86 for work. Nice little laptop, but the touchscreen is insanely pointless even for scrolling. Just imagine your wrist angle as you lift your hand up to touch the screen, it's incredibly uncomfortable.

T14 Gen 2 Core i7 (11th Gen) or X1 Carbon i7 (10th gen)?
Go for the T14 Gen 2 honestly. Yeah the X1 is cheaper and lighter but 8th gen memory vs 11th gen with Iris Xe is actually a pretty big jump especially if you're gonna mess around with Linux since newer gen tends to have better driver support out of the box. The RAM difference hurts a bit but you can

dream laptop with linux
If you're looking at ThinkPads, the T series is really your best bet for optimal Linux compatibility. There are 16" models available. One thing I really don't like about the X1 Carbons is that you're pretty much stuck with the RAM you get because it's soldered (it's an ultrabook, after all, so thinn

Help me choose between 2 thinkpad x13 gen2 AMD models
Hello, I have the X13 Gen 2 AMD with 32GB of RAM and the touchscreen model. It has a good size to it. Many say that the 14-inch models are better, but that comes at the cost of weight and size. I generally carry small bags that barely even fit this laptop. I got it for €300 where I live. My experien

Recos pour un ordi portable pro ?
Perso je tenterais pas BackMarket (voir les avis de Que Choisir sur eux) le ThinkPad X1 Carbon n'est il pas trop fin ? Pourquoi pas un autre thinkpad de gamme P ou T ? Le poids et la finesse sont ils vraiment tes criteres ? Au detriment de la réparabilité :(

15 years ago, these laptops released - which one are you taking?
In 2011, my daily driver was a gorgeous 2nd hand ThinkPad X60 that was then 5 years old. Between these two I would've picked the X220 as my upgrade - familiar amazing keyboard, excellent Linux compatibility, rock solid. I have one in my collection now and it's exactly that. In reality I upgraded to

HP ZBook Fury G9 (64 GB RAM) was a disaster for real-world work - need ThinkPad advice to avoid another failure
64GB users are power users, Lenovo has P-series laptops to serve that market, typicall have better cooling + higher TDP than any of the non P-series laptops. As a result, they are the most chonkiest of all of them as well as the worst battery life. X1C are not built for performance, they are the hap
