Why is the X1 Carbon considered the most premium ThinkPad?
The thing is it doesn't have a better cooling system than the T14s (note the s). The T14s Gen 6 is like 90% of the X1C Gen 13 at 3/4 of the price, with a lot more CPU and screen options too. I appreciate the engineering behind the X1C idea but a lot of those innovations are trickling down to lesser

Refurbished T-series for university student
For portability, wouldn’t you want a smaller, lighter machine? (you may want to look at X13/T14s/X1 Carbon instead - these should have the same footprint as your HP..)

Hot take: Lenovo should simplify the Thinkpad line
No point. The X1 Carbons are already under 1kg. It's in the 900g range, same as the X1 Nano. The X13 also serves as a cheaper X1 Nano replacement right now, with some models now being under 1kg.
