So the first X1 had a faulty screen and a faulty motherboard? Is that correct? Also, you got very lucky with the Computrace. I've had a bad experience where the Computrace never de-activated and I had to return the ThinkPad to the seller for a refund.
I suppose so, wouldn't make sense for it to just die on me. Seems like quite a common issue with the X1C2. And yes, I did get very lucky with the Computrace. Would've returned it straight away if it had a password.
Yep, the T495 or T14 Gen 1 are pretty good contenders, the AMD versions are the ones to go for. If your budget allows it, perhaps a P14s Gen 1 or 2. Both pretty good.
r61i is overlooked. SSD, high res screen, 9 cell battery and a basic desktop environment got me 3-4 days of battery. Not fast by a long shot but still has the drainage in the keyboard etc like t models so if you come across one for cheap I bet you can crank it up with better cpu, ram etc from ebay on the cheap.

You really need to blow up one of these day's. Your content is so underrated and entertaining.
Wow thanks that really means a lot. Glad you're enjoying the content 🙂
I've worked for a couple of years in a laptop refurb and resell and I've never seen a gen 2 without a fucked up touchbar. Love the video!
Thanks! The touchbars are notorious for good reason
Wake up babe another cephacore video dropped
Haha thanks for the support! 😄
Yesssss Another Banging Video Mate!!!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed 😄
Great content mate. Keep it coming
Cheers. Thanks for stopping by 😄

i wonder why the touch bars on these old x1 carbons look like they’re rotting or something
No wonder they got rid of them so quick! Still, would be cool to see them implement them in the newer ones.
@@cephacore It had the touch bar two years before the MacBook Pro! :)
Hey, I’m going to be buying an old ThinkPad soon for Uni. I’m thinking of getting the t480s but are there any other good alternatives you’d recommend?
u should get a t495 its extremely fast for school work and even low end gaming like minecraft and other games

Hey guys, thanks for the replies, but are the t495 and t14 as upgradable as the t480s? I've heard the t495 doesn't have thunderbolt 3 either
@@Abhijay_TT it doesnt have a thunderbolt 3 unfortunately but u can upgrade ram up to 24gb ur nvme wifi card(one in t495 already good)
Hella nice
Thanks!
Smallest motherboard with the biggest battery I've ever seen...
And great battery life for sure. No disc drive, no HDD, it sure will last longer between charges as SSDs (2.5, nvme) are not power hungry
This thinkpad's design is cursed.
Truly 😂
I love u m8
same bro 🫂
Again, I am watching this using my T480S !
Nice! How is it?

try linux mint, is more lightweight.
Sure, will have a play around with it 🙂
Yes now bro , cephacore, are you British Pakistani?
Lithuania eh? Made me suspicious.
Hope I'm just prejudiced.
Haha anything from that far does make me a bit nervous. Thankfully it survived shipping.
hey cepha, if you dont have any use for this can I have it?
If its new lenovo its poor quality
