Hi thanks for the Video
I made and replace on my carbon x1 with XPG Gammix s50 2TB and work perfectly
Are these updates only for more storage capacity? Or does it speed up the laptop as well?
I received my Gen 8 2 week ago. Mine comes with the UHD(3840x2160) IPS Glare 500nits display and it is simply astounding display. You watch a TH-cam video and it's like you are there with them. The Dolby Atmos sound also is great.
Coming from my previous bulky T520. It is so thin and light. I'm so happy with my choice.
@@David-vb8tg No PWM flickering and don't worry about the glare screen too. You rapidly get used to it and it's completely fine.
What kind of battery life do you get with the UHD 4k screen? Moving from a Surface Pro I hope I can still get 8hrs+ on business apps/chrome/email. Of course I expect this to be down to 5-=6 hours watching hi res moviees, etc. Am I being realistic?
@@ash1 It's more like 3 hours on full brightness. Don't hesitate to get the X1 Carbon Gen 8 it's a amazing machine.
@@ash1 depends more on your brightness. If it's low it shouldn't be a problem. If you have full brightness because you're outside or something the battery will die much quicker
Thanks much. Still deciding between this and T14 AMD. But, this X1 Carbon sounds like a great performer.

@@ramatgan1 Good to hear. What type of battery life are you getting with 4k screen?
I believe T14 AMD is better unless you need ultra portability and external graphic card (thunderbolt). I have x1 g7 currently.
@@Mladenac I agree
Did you end up using additional slot later? If so, any particular ssd you'd recommend to go along with a 980 pro in primary?
I can report back on that PCIe slot, unless I did something wrong. Firstly with the same M2 stick you have in the video I had to put it in upside down, and with it upside down it wouldn't fully seat even with the mounting screw in the middle removed in advance, but seemed to make full and good contact across the connector. I plugged in the power and got a charged white lamp. I tried pressing the power button and holding it etc, nothing. When I removed the stick it immediately booted up without having pressed anything further. I did another battery off cycle to do some cleaning and when I plugged the power back in this time I also got a series of flashes (2 or 3) on the power LED next to the button and it worked fine. So in summary, I could plug it in, but it wouldn't be useful for general use if it worked because you couldn't put the lid back on, but it didn't work. Hopefully my new 970 is not damaged by this experiment. I suppose a smaller SSD card might work? Some feedback for you. Mine's 7th, not 8th, though, FWIW.
Doh, now I find out that there's M-key and B-key that are basically the same but back to front. Hope I didn't kill the stick. 1/10 for that effort, oops, and thanks for the motivation :-D
Shows up as /dev/sda through the enclosure I got to house it, so hopefully that's a good sign. I will try to put a file system on it today or tomorrow or so and see how I get on.
You did not say what you were upgrading from when you installed the Samsung 970 Evo Plus. My 6th gen has 256 and I would like to do this upgrade. Just do what you did, going from 256 to 1TB?
Great Video . Please let me know if I can replace my X1 Carbon 3rd Gen Motherboard with i5-5 Gen processor BY another x1 Carbon 3rd Gen Motherboard with i7-5 gen processor ??
Why is the motherboard covered in mylar on that x1 carbon model?
I got the X1G7 and I think about to buy the 970 evo plus. I read about high temperature even in Idle. Has someone Temperature Issues with this drive in his Laptop?
I am new to doing this, did you guys have to reset the battery setting in bios?
Could you please share the monitor's link
That other memory slot you said for people who have figured out how to replace to inform the community... what is currently in there?
Nothing, it's empty on purpose.
Can I use wwan card slot to other SSD?
Is it fair easy enough to upgrade the SSD? Like no broken screens and stuff???
Yes, it's as straight forward as it gets for upgrades. Just take your time through the instructions, don't force off the cover (make sure all the screws are loose, etc), and have a good, flat working surface. Don't touch any electronic components unnecessarily.
Crucials NVMe ‘s are slightly faster than Samsungs.
Are that support pcie 4.0
yes, according to Lenovo, SSD is PCIe 3.0 x4:

Is it possible to download macOS on this laptop ?
No
Summary: keyboard sucks. If you are a slow typer, get this laptop. It's good. If you value typing, go for a 6th generation or different laptop. The mouse is okay. I wish Lenovo would have continued with Synaptics but I think most users don't really care about speed or feel.

How cute. Lenovo solders the memory to the motherboard so you cant upgrade it yourself. Therefore you're forced to "upgrade" your memory when selecting your laptop using their memory, not a cheaper 3rd party 🤦♀️🙄
i think you're mixing up the company with the product line. the x1 carbon is the "thin" product line, which solders the RAM. you can get the T series (eg: T14) which has 1 upgradeable slot or the x1 extreme which has two slots. they are both thicker as a result. they offer different product lines for different needs. unlike apple where they don't offer upgradeable options
T14s AMD is much much better machine then this
No doubt. I bought into Intel i7 (2019) before AMD took over the performance crown this gen cycle. My next upgrade will definitely be AMD Ryzen 5000 series laptop.
Is there a way to upgrade to the AMD Ryzen 4000 or 5000 from the original without purchasing a new laptop? Or a way to make upgrades to make it similar in power?
No
