ThinkPad X1 Carbon

As a T-series owner, I agree. T-series pricing is nuts right now; a $2000 T14s makes the X1C G14 look affordable. Lenovo does some weird shit by only having 2.8k IPS panels on the cheaper models like the E-series whereas the T14, T14s and X1C are stuck with 2.8k OLED if you need higher resolutions.

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

whats the best value from these options X1 carbon, Gen 8, I5(10210U), 16GB, 512G, FHD screen non touch, orig charger, 4 month warranty - facebook market place for 270-290euro or T14 / T14s - 8GB: Intel i5 1135G7, Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U aprox 220, and 16GB for approx 235
