* I mentioned Battery life is better on Nano but didnt give you times. I got 11 Hours of battery life with Nano and 8.5 hours with Carbon. With that being said, which one would you choose? Nano or Carbon? In case you missed it I reviewed the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (2021) here - th-cam.com/video/BkSb_Pt_vOY/w-d-xo.html
I bought, and returned, the Nano; the keyboard was markedly inferior to my T480s (and even to the Gen 8 Carbon I have access to), but mainly because the screen gave me eye strain. I also found the lack of ports limiting (though I do have a USB hub) and the screen should've been at least 13.3". Of the two, I'd pick the Carbon for the bigger screen and more ports, though I have to try the keyboard to see if I like it!
This will be helpful, my brother is starting college next year and we wanna know what device to save up for. He has a powerful PC so he only needs a thin, light and versatile laptop
@@tawfeeqpurdasy4700 depends on what applications you use. The Mac is not always the go to laptop for everyone man. It’s decent though don’t get me wrong.
The best is always what you can afford and depends on what you do. I finished my Engineering degree with an i3 4th gen 8gb ram asus laptop simulations can be done with desktop. Much cheaper and you get redundancy
I'm in InfoSec/Comp Sec and Industry standard is Lenovo Thinkpads in my field. They are pretty secure security wise and does most things without a problem (obviously not gaming since they don't have a discrete GPU). I myself use a Leno t-470s.
Of course, the X1 Carbon is also offered with WUXGA Low Power screens, which will significantly improve battery life. With such a screen, the X1 Carbon will beat out the X1 Nano in this regard.
An excellent video and comparison. Thank you. I'm a huge ThinkPad fan, I have a 1st gen X1 Carbon as my daily driver, copped it for only $140US. What a bargain. Nothing wrong with it. I might buy another ThinkPad soon. I'd love to have a Nano if it matched my budget but I'm not prepared to spend more than 1000 for a laptop.
I would always pick a 14 inch over 13 or 16 inch as a programmer. I think 16 inch it too big too heavy hard to find space for it in the bag, walking around with it is annoying. 13 inch is almost perfect just lacking this little extra. 14 is the sweet spot in my personal opinion.
Great review & comparison. I was undecided between these two, but think the X1 Nano is best for my specific needs, Currently own the Dell XPS 13, so the lack of ports is no big issue, and I'm okay with using dongles to connect to monitor etc. I do a lot of travelling (when there isn't a global pandemic). The X1 Nano is so powerful for a sub 1kg machine. It's the perfect laptop for portability, whist still having the iconic ThinkPad keyboard.
Would be nice but AMD 5000 are hit hard by the silicon shortage. There is a reason everyone is going intel this year or going AMD 4000 - availability is horrible on AMD's new chips.
I'm so glad I got my Lenovo x13 AMD on President's Day sale 800$ out the door, Ryzen 5 16GB of ram, 500 nits screen upgraded NVME to 1TB, those prices are way out of my budget for a carry around labtop. Those prices are what I pay for my gaming labtops.
I'm gettin the Nano as the price difference with the X1 compared to what it offers isn't worth to me. Also, I'm looking for something more portable (already own a 13" MBP, best screen size for a laptop for me) with a good battery life. The only negative thing is that I had to pay the BS Winpoop tax as I wasn't able to to find any model with Ubuntu or Fedora. I'll be wiping out that ludicrous joke of operating system that comes with it as soon as I get in in my hands, and dropping in Fedora Silverblue 35, an _immutable_ operating system for the XXII century. Last, even with all its limitations, the Nano packs enough raw power to let me manage my IT needs, mostly container-related workflows, stupid crapware like Slack and so on.
Best to read the Thinkpad Forums for that kind of info as it's MUCH more obvious displayed in text format. Speech is a poor way to communicated technical info compared to text.
Simply put: E: Consumer edition of the ThinkPad line up. Essentially, budget versions of normal laptops, but branded with the ThinkPad name and to an extent support. Catered towards small, medium, micro businesses. L: Similar to E series, made with recycled/upcycled parts for the chassis, but is generally more sturdy than the E series. T: Standard Business edition, made with the highest quality parts ("military grade") with a great support. Catered towards large businesses. P: Powerful T series is a generally decent gist of the P series. These have discrete GPUs, much larger RAM capacity etc for people who delve into CAD X: Xtra-portable series. Carbon, Nano are essentially versions with a bit more oomph or a bit more battery.
Having experienced both the carbon and the nano, if you were deciding between the two, which one would you personally choose? Update: I ordered a Nano, then cancelled that order and ordered the Carbon. I am pleased with my decision.
Just take a X1 Carbon with a 2K screen, 4K doesnt make any sense on theses form factors anyways and you get a huge battery life boost and price advantage also
For laptops, intel laptops at least, I would never recommend an i7. Go i5 because the cooling from the laptop can actually heat up and you actually get better performance
I got the x1 carbon after a month of dilemma between this two computers. X1 wins for me for the ports (add to the portability not having to carry dongles) and with the FHD+ display the battery life is up there with the nano.
Got my nano last week for when traveling and I found myself using it at home more often than my main laptop, just because is such a joy to use even on the bed or sofa, and for programming or watching movies you don't need a powerhorse

Great and very useful side-by-side comparison but I have 1 huge (HUGE) quibble. It may be just my opinion butI think any programmer would tell you an extra 13 minutes in compile time difference on the same code base is a LOT and definitely more than “not that much” as you described. Granted a lot of compiles of this size are usually offloaded to a server so if it’s only an issue when you’re travelling maybe you can live with the longer compile to gain a bit more in portability. Still very much appreciate you including the compile time tests in most (if not all) of your laptop reviews. It’d be cool to see a few compile timings in different languages but I’m guessing that’s probably a bit outside the interest of most of your users. Along with Just Josh testing Linux compatibility on the laptops he tests your compile test is very useful to those of us that spend our lives writing code all day. Cheers, Christopher
I'll comment the laptops I need you to review. Yes I NEED you to. Piliz 🥺 (lol). Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 Asus ROG STRIX G15 Asus ROG STRIX SCAR 15 MSI GP66 Leopard MSI GS66 Stealth Some alienware laptops and some Acer ones. Pls review at comfort but don't miss out
I was close to buying one but when with 5900hs asus instead. Had thinkpads for last 13 years and would get it again if it would be offeret with 8 or minimum 6 core cpu and 64gb ram
Excellent, clean explanation. Subscribed the channel. I am an software engineer. I do code compiling for long hours, also interested in photo editing (PS software) , graphic design (Corel) and love Gaming. Any laptops that you would recommend?
In the UK this comparison is not relevant on pricing as both are exactly the same, for the same base spec. At £1750 for i5/16gb/512gb, they are def not aimed at consumers as these are extremely poor value compared to the competition. I have seen a similar spec XPS 13 for £600 less! Assuming performance is not important, so we can exclude Apple and AMD I would suggest something like the upcoming Galaxy Book Pro, saving £400, but let us be honest the X1 line is strictly for fans of Thinkpads, Enterprise or those that can afford it, these are not for those looking for value or features?
Nano is truly a best balanced option for my office (excel, email, cloud-ware) and travel usage. But one of the biggest "problem" with nano is the fan position. I am a right-hand user and I am really enough with this crazy design to heat my hand since 2017! Really confused and wish to see the next year model will place the fan as it is as the carbon which then nano will be my only just-take-my-money option.
What about the screen size of the Nano? Have you found it to be too small sometimes? 13"n being even smaller than the normal 13.3 already small. thats my only concern....
Typing experience is NOT identical as he says. The X1 Nano keys are a tad bit shallow and key travel is shorter. The X1 9th gen is the classic Thinkpad keyboard. Good key travel and well spaced out

A very interesting video review you could do and comparison, would be the x13 yoga versus the X1 Yoga. Also just the normal x13 versus the normal X1. Make a video on that man, it would be so a killer and get a ton of views. I just bought the X13 yoga because I got an outrageously good deal on it in vietnam, about half the retail price for a brand new top spec 1tb i7 machine
Apparently that is a bug in the zoom client and according to this reddit thread (scroll down a little bit) there is someone reporting the fix and quite a few people reporting it works for them: www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/m268xe/x1_nano_users_issues_with_zoom/

Hello Matthew! The comparison in battery life test between the X1 Carbon and X1 Nano is unfair because the X1 Carbon has a 4K display and significantly uses way more power and has a huge impact on battery life. For the FHD+ model, if you redone the test, the X1 Carbon would win here, with its larger 57 Watt hour battery. Again, it's just my opinion. Feel free to disagree if you want. They're both great laptops for personal use though. Just pointed out the unfair part, regarding battery life!
12.07.2021 : Had terrible experience today morning with Lenovo Staff at their showroom at Santacruz West Mumbai : Staff Members : Zulfiqar and Imran Khan : absolutely rude behaviour. Will henceforth never buy any Lenovo product for their terribly bad quality, terribly bad service and terribly bad staff behaviour
I don't know. I honestly don't get it how one can be willing to pay more for less just so it weighs 400 grams less. Any laptop around 1.5 kgs is portable.
In 11th Gen Tiger Lake, Intel has made their already confusing TDP Rating, more confusing. That 1160G7 supposed to be what their previous Y series was and supposed to have a base TDP of 7W. But in Nano, it can reach up to 40W momentarily and runs at constant 15W afterwards, never going down to 7W. That's the main reason, it performs similar to the so called higher TDP 1165G7.
Reviewed the Nano a few weeks back.....my favorite laptop....havent used my m1 macbook for weeks. when it comes to rendering videos the M1 Is a monster tho😅
That's why they shouldn't have so many models. That's where Apple is way smarter in. Macbook Air is already a little too much but still manageable. Now what the hell difference is between carbon and nano. Why can't I have both carbon and nano. And since when its already gone up to 9th Gen
Nano is too small. Makes a horrible typing experience. That’s considering I have relatively small hands. For the average people out there, this is simply not an ergonomic machine. Maybe the VIPs who get a machine like this don’t ever have to do typing work Lmao.
I like my nano. It's light enough that it works well as an e-reader using the Kindle app. Very comfortable to hold when reading. The 180 degree hinge helps with that too.
@@steph29martinez mine get hot like frying Pan. Removing dust, updating all drivers/system and thermal doesn't help. So, I got new dell precision laptop 10th gen i9 t2000maxq. This one is a way better in thermals. But I heard lenovo extreme gen 2 and newer are good at thermals.
@@itboy6934 it is time for me to get a new laptop as well. I am thinking XPS15, I just like the sexy screen. But as a famous hardware killer, I am not sure how long the XPS can survive...
What the hell, the nano is supposed to be more expensive. Smaller laptops are pricier. Instead it somehow costs less. And u get the nano bonus of super duper thin n light.
Nice review...re: X1 Nano vs X1 Carbon...I'd still go for the X1 Carbon...ports and larger screen. Yes the X1 Carbon is more expensive but Lenovo is frequently running sales that will get you to a much reasonable price...you just have to be vigilant and patient. I'd probably go for the 1920 X 1080 Matte screen...better batt life and less reflection.
Thanks Jet! Ya, I'm sure the Carbon will drop price too since the Nano has technically been out longer. If prices are equal the Carbon definitely makes more sense. Unless you're super vigilant about travelling light as possible (i can't imagine many are at this moment)
What a good laptop, I wanted to ask your opinion, what do you think would be an improvement laptop if the Lenovo Thinkpad x1 extreme 4gen, dell xps 15 2021 or the new Alienware x15 2021, which would be the best and quality, I wanted a laptop for the flight simulation 2021 and for work, I am not a gamer and I do not want for games only for the flight simulator
The nano makes a lot of sense for me as I dont travel much but when I do I need a laptop which is light comfortable small and powerful , but I dont have a habit to use phones or tablets so i need a laptop ,
One of the best review I've seen. Thanks @Matthew Moniz. - I decided to purchase the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 Intel (14”) - Storm Grey. I do miss the lightweight of the X1 Nano , but for me I need the ports and other features.
wow thats nice I have the P14s gen 1 AMD, just had to get the touchpad replaced because it would just stop working automatically due to a possibly lose connection (I missed the opportunity to go for the gen2 as I needed a laptop for college :( )

I bought, and returned, the Nano; the keyboard was markedly inferior to my T480s (and even to the Gen 8 Carbon I have access to), but mainly because the screen gave me eye strain. I also found the lack of ports limiting (though I do have a USB hub) and the screen should've been at least 13.3". Of the two, I'd pick the Carbon for the bigger screen and more ports, though I have to try the keyboard to see if I like it!
A very interesting video review you could do and comparison, would be the x13 yoga versus the X1 Yoga. Also just the normal x13 versus the normal X1. Make a video on that man, it would be so a killer and get a ton of views. I just bought the X13 yoga because I got an outrageously good deal on it in vietnam, about half the retail price for a brand new top spec 1tb i7 machine
The lack of the USB ports kills the nano. Really no point in getting it
Another question, some people reported Zoom not working on the nano , has it been fixed ?
Apparently that is a bug in the zoom client and according to this reddit thread (scroll down a little bit) there is someone reporting the fix and quite a few people reporting it works for them: www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/m268xe/x1_nano_users_issues_with_zoom/
@@Watchandlearn91 thanks
This is the video I was looking for. Thank you so very much for such a brilliant detailed comparison yet in just over 8 mins time. Just amazing!! Btw.. nice outfit brother !! :--)
haha thanks!

wa gonna but an xps. decided to go for the nano instead. Super happy with it
Whats ur take on the nano so far, has it been delivered? Have u found the screen size to be too small ever? tight?
Just what unwashed looking for, thanks a lot.
How many screens could I use with the Nano?
Will you also show the X1 yoga gen 6?
Thanks
Taking your advice, I’m an IT Manager and have been using X1’s forever and want something to smaller to travel back and forth - remote access etc.. so I’m hoping this will fit the bill, getting a deal on nano gen 1 -i7 16GB 1TB from amazon. Fingers crossed!!!! Btw your videos are great
Some say if you use the touchpad on the ThinkPads, you are using it wrong...
this is very true imo.
these days I want a 5G laptop that's small, durable and light in my backpack. I want to go to bars, cafes or restaurants to work or go to libraries or be out at the park. all I need is 5G high-speed internet. I don't have to be working in an office.
Hello Matthew! The comparison in battery life test between the X1 Carbon and X1 Nano is unfair because the X1 Carbon has a 4K display and significantly uses way more power and has a huge impact on battery life. For the FHD+ model, if you redone the test, the X1 Carbon would win here, with its larger 57 Watt hour battery. Again, it's just my opinion. Feel free to disagree if you want. They're both great laptops for personal use though. Just pointed out the unfair part, regarding battery life!
12.07.2021 : Had terrible experience today morning with Lenovo Staff at their showroom at Santacruz West Mumbai : Staff Members : Zulfiqar and Imran Khan : absolutely rude behaviour. Will henceforth never buy any Lenovo product for their terribly bad quality, terribly bad service and terribly bad staff behaviour
Can you make the asus nitro 5 (2021) full review?
Can someone please explain whats the point in paying so much for this level of performance
I don't know. I honestly don't get it how one can be willing to pay more for less just so it weighs 400 grams less. Any laptop around 1.5 kgs is portable.
That song for the speaker comparison makes me feel like a hero! What is it?
IT's from epidemic sound i forget the name but ill post it next time when I do the speaker test
In 11th Gen Tiger Lake, Intel has made their already confusing TDP Rating, more confusing. That 1160G7 supposed to be what their previous Y series was and supposed to have a base TDP of 7W. But in Nano, it can reach up to 40W momentarily and runs at constant 15W afterwards, never going down to 7W. That's the main reason, it performs similar to the so called higher TDP 1165G7.
Reviewed the Nano a few weeks back.....my favorite laptop....havent used my m1 macbook for weeks.
when it comes to rendering videos the M1 Is a monster tho😅
why do u prefer the nano over the macbook?
That's why they shouldn't have so many models. That's where Apple is way smarter in. Macbook Air is already a little too much but still manageable. Now what the hell difference is between carbon and nano. Why can't I have both carbon and nano. And since when its already gone up to 9th Gen
That's not all the ports I can think of..
Nano is too small. Makes a horrible typing experience. That’s considering I have relatively small hands. For the average people out there, this is simply not an ergonomic machine. Maybe the VIPs who get a machine like this don’t ever have to do typing work Lmao.
I like my nano. It's light enough that it works well as an e-reader using the Kindle app. Very comfortable to hold when reading. The 180 degree hinge helps with that too.
Have you ever found the nano screen to be too small? I feel like windows would be tight and squinting forward a lot. Whats been ur experience?
I have X1 extreme gen 1 (all specs maxed out) Loving it.
I have a base model X280, man I cant imagine how much better an X1 carbon/ extreme or a P1 is.
I have a gen2, all specs maxed out as well, I have been using it for years. I have dropped it several times, nothing broken yet :)
@@steph29martinez mine get hot like frying Pan.
Removing dust, updating all drivers/system and thermal doesn't help.
So, I got new dell precision laptop 10th gen i9 t2000maxq. This one is a way better in thermals.
But I heard lenovo extreme gen 2 and newer are good at thermals.
@@itboy6934 it is time for me to get a new laptop as well. I am thinking XPS15, I just like the sexy screen. But as a famous hardware killer, I am not sure how long the XPS can survive...
In the DELL brand, what would be the equivalent to this model? (In the year 2023)
Thanks.
I know you just ordered all the new Apple devices, but i wanted to ask are you planning to review all those new Samsung laptops?
In Kg too next time please ^^
Google is your friend
@@MatthewMoniz AHAHAHAHA
What the hell, the nano is supposed to be more expensive. Smaller laptops are pricier. Instead it somehow costs less. And u get the nano bonus of super duper thin n light.
„All the ports you can think of“. No ethernet?
Plz do a review on lenovo legion 5 (2021) vs hp omen 15(2021)
When they come in they shall be reviewed
Nice review...re: X1 Nano vs X1 Carbon...I'd still go for the X1 Carbon...ports and larger screen. Yes the X1 Carbon is more expensive but Lenovo is frequently running sales that will get you to a much reasonable price...you just have to be vigilant and patient. I'd probably go for the 1920 X 1080 Matte screen...better batt life and less reflection.
Thanks Jet! Ya, I'm sure the Carbon will drop price too since the Nano has technically been out longer. If prices are equal the Carbon definitely makes more sense. Unless you're super vigilant about travelling light as possible (i can't imagine many are at this moment)
@@MatthewMoniz Yep 2.1lbs is feather light. I love my X1 Carbon even though it is only a 6th Gen version.
I’m satisfied with the ThinkPad T480.
What a good laptop, I wanted to ask your opinion, what do you think would be an improvement laptop if the Lenovo Thinkpad x1 extreme 4gen, dell xps 15 2021 or the new Alienware x15 2021, which would be the best and quality, I wanted a laptop for the flight simulation 2021 and for work, I am not a gamer and I do not want for games only for the flight simulator
Don't buy any Lenovo before read the trustpilot reviews. You will be surprised. Never ever Lenovo again.
The nano makes a lot of sense for me as I dont travel much but when I do I need a laptop which is light comfortable small and powerful , but I dont have a habit to use phones or tablets so i need a laptop ,
X1 nano is the best laptop for school and college, even for office if you travel much and are fine with using a small screen
One of the best review I've seen. Thanks @Matthew Moniz. - I decided to purchase the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 Intel (14”) - Storm Grey. I do miss the lightweight of the X1 Nano , but for me I need the ports and other features.
If you have the chance, i'd like to see a comparison with the Yoga X1 Gen 6.
I actually don't like the way the X1 Carbon's hinge. Looks pretty depressing.
I got my work to get me the new thinkpad t14 gen 2. Looking forward to it. Matt review that next!
wow thats nice
I have the P14s gen 1 AMD, just had to get the touchpad replaced because it would just stop working automatically due to a possibly lose connection (I missed the opportunity to go for the gen2 as I needed a laptop for college :( )
