       Does anyone have experience with a Thinkpad X1 Carbon? I want to replace my laptop (an old Dell Latitude). I'll be mostly writing documents and other lightweight tasks.

       Macbook Neo is a better option for the price.

       I like mine a lot more than I thought I would for productivity tasks. The battery lasts forever too

       @hfaust i used one briefly, i guess the processor on that thing was failing because there were quite a bit of graphical corruption whilst i was using it. apparently this and other strange issues are common with x1 carbons

       @hfaust Assuming that you're buying used, I would rather get a T14/T14s Gen 3 or better (or an X13 Gen 2 or newer). Each go around for $300-400 (or less without an OS). Both the X1 Carbon and the newer T laptops are getting thinner, but there's some more ports (like full Ethernet) and some more replaceable parts (except with Ryzen) for the T14/T14s. For writing, I'd get one with a 16:10 display (I think X1 Carbon had those starting with Gen 9). Battery life on those X1 Carbon laptops aren't fantastic since it's too thin and light for a big battery. If all else fails, save your money and buy a $600 MacBook Neo. https://linuxblog.io/thinkpad-t14s-gen-3-amd-linux-user-review-tweaks/https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T14-G3-review-Business-laptop-is-better-with-AMD-Ryzen-Pro.657465.0.html

       @hfaust If you insist on getting a X1 Carbon, I'd get the Gen 9 (or newer if cheaper) since that has a 16:10 display by default. They have the 11th gen Intel processors and even the lowest end one (i5-1135G7) seems fine for typing within whatever Linux distro is installed. It's likely to be cheaper than a MacBook Neo.https://thinkwiki.de/X1_Carbon_Gen_9

       @hfaust BIOS InformationVendor: LENOVOVersion: N32ET71W (1.47 )Release Date: 09/06/2021System InformationManufacturer: LENOVOProduct Name: 20XWCTO1WWVersion: ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9Surprisingly young actually. I thought it was older.Overall I'm quite happy with it. The screen is not as high-res as my T14 had before, but it's still decent: 1920x1200. The X1 is noticeably lighter. There's no built-in Ethernet. The nipple is not as offensive as on some of the older systems.
