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.

I saw this guy talking about that thinkpad can offer you many upgradable parts in older models are he fr?
Ram is so expensive now, I bought a near new thinkpad but it had soldered ram, price of ram would increase past my budget for the build. That's just a me problem though. I really needed something light and portable to tunnel into my home pc. ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 for 300usd 16gb system ram

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 7 debuts with Snapdragon X2 Elite and more lightweight 1.1 kg chassis
Finally, the X1 Carbon Snapdragon we've been waiting for. These could be the best T14s in the lineup if you can deal with ARM compatibility issue for very niche apps. I've been using the T14s G6 Snapdragon for a year and I haven't had any issues so far with compatibility on Windows, as most programs

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

Thinkpad T14S Gen 5 - Why aren't there a lot of reviews for this version?
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14s-Gen-5-laptop-review-The-premium-T-ThinkPad-with-Intel-Core-Ultra.866472.0.html 165H should be better, but less battery life (comparable to Zen 3 IIRC?). Not sure how it cools the 165H. T14s positioning is horrible in recent gens, especially Intel, a

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

What’s all the hyper with the X1 Carbons
Been traveling for the past couple of months with my Gen 13 and really appreciate the feather weight. Met a ton of c-suite folks and none of them had a Thinkpad though (I’m in the US), it’s Dells, HPs and an occasional MacBook here and there. Your average corporate IT will never issue you an X1C if
