I'm not a business user, I do travel and go on vacation overseas, I need a lightweight, fast and reliable laptop for music videos, Netflix, and sometimes emails or signing PDF's. X1 is hands down one of the best ultrabooks I wish people would stop lumping it into business professionals only it veers people away to getting an LG GRAM or XPS 13 instead of this wonderful machine. I got the 7th Gen , 4k UHD, 16gb, 1TB, 8th Gen i7 model with carbon weave on top. Lovely machine.
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Albert Jesiah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi, Do you have any idea about the new FHD panel with privacy guard 500 nits and touch? Is the battery life same as UHD model? And does privacy guard affect the viewing angle or same as the other FHD panels? Thanks
Good video. ThinkPads have the best keyboards on the market in my opinion. I have a first gen X1 Yoga with the OLED screen. After 4 years it is running just as fast as the day I got it. I feel no need whatsoever to replace it with another laptop. Just do not feel like I could gain much with what is on the market in the 14" size or smaller. If I had to get a new laptop 14" or smaller it would probably be the latest model Lenovo X1 Carbon. Possibly an X1 Yoga though I only really use the 2 in 1 feature when I am on a plane.
I bought one a few weeks back. I've had significant issues with sound/mic. In short, they don't work. On the positive side I've received great customer service. After two support tickets and multiple remote sessions, today I placed the order for my replacement...about 5 minutes later got my first blue screen. Fabulous machine otherwise. Hopefully my experience is an anomaly and the replacement doesn't have these silly issues
I wish more laptops still allowed the user to upgrade the RAM and SSD. The lack of this feature is a deal breaker for many. Plus Lenovo s pricing fluctuates almost by the minute!
I have the 7th Gen with 10th Gen Core I7, 16gb RAM. and 1tb SSD. I saw that the changes are minimal going to the 8th Gen X1. I recommend the 7th Gen if you can get it at a good discount over the 8th Gen. Hard to find fault with anything on this machine. Amazingly light yet non flexing and solid. Great keyboard, Loud and clear speakers. Great port selection.
got my 7th gen 3 days ago, brand new for 1450$ has the 8th Gen i7, 16gb, 1t, 4k UHD, and LTE if I need it. So far so good, I did re-paste the cpu and under vaulted it, she runs like a dream.
Have you tested the battery life while normal using, how long this x1 can survive. Because as we know that the thinkpad line is for business and working, but after searching for top 10 or 20 laptop which have long battery life, no thinkpad serie on the list. I am so concern about this issue so much.
Can you give me the stock wallpaper of that laptop if they allow you,I want to put it on my T490. Edit,forget it,I already found all the thinkpad wallpapers
These are fantastic machines and do so much right. I have a G7 with the 8th gen I7, 16GB and a 1TB NVME. Lenovo would do themselves a huge favor by allowing more user upgrades (the wireless nic, for example, is soldered on like the RAM) and have a more fluid pricing scheme, but for the money, I think this is the best laptop for what I do. I can use it for work as the IT admin and use it at home in bed to watch TheDigitalDigest while doing some light gaming (think Skyrim and older AAA titles with turned down yet still fun settings). I love mine.
not really! 1080p screen is to small for a developer and PWM flickering on the 4K screens is just terrible!... and nowadays with covid... a terrible webcam for online meetings
@@malding1 I already bought one, I went with the Razer Blade Stealth (a 13.3'' i7 with OLED 4K Touch screen) - what a beauty and a great developer machine ... they also have a more Machine Learning side with an RTX2080, but I will not use this for that, 95% web development! -> photos.app.goo.gl/RPcBZXjamctMA2BM9
i just bought the X1 Carbon and it was a utter disappointment i have to say it lasted 20 days. I was using is regularly as a student and one day while watching Netflix all I did was tilt the screen using the bottom right corner and the screen cracked. And when the model first arrived I also had a problem with the right palm rest making weird clicky sounds every time I rest my hands on it.
Ok so I bought one, I suggest you DONT GET IT. I honestly suggest that everyone should stay clear of Lenovo. Their products look good but trust me you don't want to deal with their customer service it's absolute crap . They honestly have the worst customer support. God forbid you get a defective, good luck. You will be stuck dealing with their third-party customer service for months who lie and decieve. It's not a one time experience I am talking about it's on multiple occasions. Honestly I have given up and accepted the loss. In comparison I had some battery issues on my MacBook pro. Apple called me in 2 mins had an appointment made and problem was resolved in one day including repairs. Save yourself the time and money
I needed a new computer! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the review video, keep on the great work! Best

Is the pwm better on fhd 1080p screen?

Unsoldered RAM, Ryzen processor and standard LAN connection please.
Is this better than macbook air/pro in terms of speed, material quality, design, and also its reliability?
You forgot to include mentioning the sim card LTE slot at the back.
Thats a nice mirror finish on that screen.
the FHD model is matte i believe

Does it support external monitors via usb-C? I don't want to use a docking station!!
Yes

FHD screen easy 8-10 hours. UHD like 4-5 lol.
Yes It's Me OMG, that is not much for working laptop in this day especially, thought thinkpad serie should be better than this.
@@icpoo1915 sorry it's enough for me
Best laptop I've ever had. I got the FHD for more juice though..
Change the aspect ratio with narrower bezel and upgrade resolution to qhd standard and it would be perfect machine.
Can you give me the stock wallpaper of that laptop if they allow you,I want to put it on my T490.
Edit,forget it,I already found all the thinkpad wallpapers
Why is it so good for business? Apart from keyboard, red button and vpro?
And ports!
Can I use this as civil engineering student?

Alongside Business, It's a dream machine for programmers.

If it ain’t broke...
Thanks.
I only wish the webcam on this thing was better, otherwise its great.
this is the business machine to beat
If only Ryzen were an option.
re-paste and undervolt and the i7 is just fine.
First! I won!
