1:55 as a longtime Thinkpad owner, this is a welcome change ☺
I still have my gen7. I love these laptop so much.
Oh, wow! That's a long run! What makes a you love this lineup? Thinking of upgrading?
@ThisIsTechToday I got it for school, and I know this sounds unoriginal, but it's just works for what I needed it to do. Very lightweight, strong battery (I can still get 6-8 hours out of it)
Thought about upgrading because it is showing its age. Might get a Gen 11 because $1500 is easier than $2200 right now, lol.
Haha, hey, if it works for you it works for you. Having something last you that long is awesome! Makes you feel like you got your money's worth!
@@ThisIsTechToday Its not that long of a run. My mom still uses her 2011 ThinkPad T420. Those business laptops are made to last.
How are the fans? I heard it gets pretty noisy just watching youtube on chrome with this one.
I hate the way the "communications bar" is so pronounced and protrudes from the top of the laptop 😱. It's neither sleak nor subtle.
It makes it super easy to open and gives all the cameras and windows hello sensors without a thick bezel or cutting into the screen.
Absolutely agree! That’s a fail. How could they ruin such anticipated Gen 12 with that ugly piece of plastic sticking out of borders
I love it! It’s not meant to be subtle.
Boy I could NOT care less about it
I hate that most reviewers on TH-cam are seemingly only concerned for design…
the design is almost retro. love it.
I like it, too!
I’ve been an avid X1 fan since they came out. Unfortunately they discontinued the 4K display which is a must for me. Their reasoning is that the believe most road warriors have an external monitor to connect to wherever they go, but I believe the opposite is true. I rarely have a monitor in hotel rooms, etc. so, I like the high def display. Lenovo, please bring it back.
The mic on it was a bit low but it was very clear 👌🏿
Yeah! Agreed
Only two USB-C ports in 2024?? And with one used for charging, that essentially leaves us with just one available port. That’s hardly sufficient. I wish Lenovo offered a ThinkPad configuration with at least 3 USB-C ports. USB-A ports have become nearly obsolete, though I wouldn't mind having just one. And also a better compatibility with Linux systems.
use a splitter
1:48 that's a lot of flex!
flex is good with carbon. feel the flex. embrace the flex.
Haha, yes. You want carbon to flex.
Can't decide between gen 11 and gen 12 because of the battery life! Would gen 12 with 1920*1200 screen last as long as the 11th gen?
I would love to use this at work. It would be nice to have it replace the Dell business model laptops we have currently.
Oh yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. 😝 it would be way lighter and thinner!
I got the oled screen version before they replaced it by the WUXGA screen in the US. I thought it was a steal since I found a coupon for 1TB and 32gb ram version for just around 1600USD. However, I find the noise from the fan is very loud. I have been using it for three days, even only browsing on internet watching some videos, the fan goes loud! The main reason I am getting this G12 x1carbon is because my old laptop (Latitude 7400 from 2020) is getting slow and noisy when I ran analysis in R. I chose x1carbon Gen12 because I had the Gen2 of it since 2014 and it lasted until 2020, it was the best laptop I ever owned. Now this Gen 12 is louder than the Latitude 7400...TBH I am disapointed. I am considering returning it but not decided yet.
What did you replace it with?
@@spin_kick just get a Slim 7x. More performance, longer battery and fans almost never come one
What you decide?
What's the battery life of the x1 gen 2
Sooo, did you return it or did they fix it somehow?
Hi....what about working temperature?
I have the Gen 10, i7 1260p, 16GB ram and it runs hot......very hot, quite uncomfortable to be honest and I was wondering if Intel has mannaged to correct this issue
Thanks!
never
Thanks for this helpful video , i got an question i really wanna the answer and there's nobody better than you so i'm wondering does the airpods max sound better than dt 990 pro or 770 pro? or is it not near in the sound quality ,i've the dt 990 and i want the max so bad but its too expensive and i'm thinking is it really worth it or do i will hear a new level of sound quality if i buy it
Thanks! The AirPods Max has a rather boosted high end and reduced mid-range, so it's scooped. The Beyers will have a more natural and neutral sound. I don't prefer the APM for sound.
the ctrl key was the main reason i was not switching to hp.
👍 I’d use it for my daily light work wen browsing
It would work great for that!
@@ThisIsTechToday would it make coffee? 😂
The AI can tell you how to make your own coffee, lol.
@@ThisIsTechToday 😆
nice review - just for the folks who are considering buying this machine: maxtech just compared a Macbook Air 15 M3 with the new Dell XPS 14 - the Macbook Air 15 M3 literally "smoked" the Dell XPS 14. Performance and battery life just sucked because of the Intel Ultra cpu. There's no difference to the X1 Carbon G12. Hopefully we will see Lenovo Thinkpads with the new Snapdragon X Elite soon.
btw the webcam and microphone quality is abysmal
@This is Tech Today Could you please tell me if the 2.8K OLED display is gloss or matte because it's not very clear from the specs?
Nah. Best one out there is the T14 Gen6 Snapdragon X elite. That thing is a beast
Thanks for the ad
Does it have sensel touchpad? If it has, I would like to know how does it feel and are there any differences?
if you use with battery only.. still works fast? or slowdown?
I cant count the number of Thinkpads I've had since my first computer in 1994. My last two were X-1s, a gen 2 and now I gen 7. But I need a new one now. I live in Canada and bought the past two in the States to save money, this one at Costco. But this Gen 12 is going to cost a fortune, especially with C$. Costco isn't carrying the X1 now. Can anyone recommend the best place to get the best price in either country? In the US the tax for one thing is much lower
The outer lid is too ugly。I still prefer the previous straight line design.
Interesting. I like it!
Any way to get cellular without sims port tho??
Does the sim feature work on Linux?
The power button at the side looks risky
Oh, interesting. That didn't cross my mind. Why do you think that?
@@ThisIsTechTodayyou may accidentally hit on it while it’s in the bag. Maybe I’m just overthinking 😃
I haven't had an issue with that lol.
@@davk846 Valid point. Since this laptop is geared for business travelers, it is something to be considered.
The hinge mechanism seems worrying
What about it seems worrying?
@@ThisIsTechToday it reminds me of an old HP laptop I have. But then again it was made with plastic that couldn't handle the mechanical stresses of opening and closing the hinge over time. It always broke at the same spot even after changing the frame. You mentioned carbon fibre as part of the materials for the frame so my concerns may be unfounded
Mic quality is bad. Nice laptop though
It'd so thin and light!
Hey man, I need your help ! hehe
I want a TWS to work... Need a good ANC and a good mic ! which one would you recommend?
As I already have an iPhone, I'm thinking about the AirPods Pro 2... do you think there is a better option for this purpose? (having a good microphone is very important to me)
Go with the AirPods Pro 2 usbc
Nice!
Yeah, it’s pretty neat!
@@ThisIsTechToday thank you!
Sir pls ask asus to send u the asus rog Zephyrus g16 4070
I'll ask!
The way he is szying that ai ai 😜😜 i have ai copilot on my 9 year old laptop
This is the last "best business laptop" with an intel chip.
I still get irritated even if U will able to pause the window update,it just be running in the background?affected my multitasking work load!window like cannot work if there is no update?😢become funny funny.i only standby this for office purposes only,other multitasking work I use my favourable MacBook!
Thinkpad are great. Price are not so great
Someone in the comments here said they’ve been using their 7th gen still to this day. That’s a good run! Seems like it’s durable enough to last long, which is big.
I prefer the X1 Carbon Gen 11 due to better single core performance (Intel i7 1365U).
Interesting. I would much rather have significantly better battery life and efficiency and all the other benefits.
I have yet to use AI on anything. A comletely useless fad.
Once you pop you can’t stop. Give it a try, you might be surprised how useful it can be.
Just checking the price 😂 no way 😂😂
Someone in the comments has been using theirs for over five years, so it's not that wild. That's impressive how it is holding up!
Comments plsssss
Yo
Good Morning! I hope your having a good day and thanks for the review. Its been a while since ive watched tour videos and im really missing out.
Good morning! Thanks. I've been here still making vidoes. 😅
still using my X1C gen 6. one of the thuderbolt part dies, and the rubbery screen frame starts falling apart and gets sticky. still can get 4-5 hours for work. definitely the best keyboard my finger ever typed on a laptop.
Thanks for the video! I recently managed to lose my macbook pro ;( so am now looking to replace it, torn between M3 pro, or one of these Lenovo machines. I have used a thinkpad before during my PhD so lots of programming etc was done on it. I just don't want to regret not buying the macbook but also want to save, tough decision, please help?
My son has the gen8 and thinking of an upgrade to this newer gen, albeit OLED might be overkill for a high school student. Battery life takes a hit as well I guess… I assume the regular screen is similar to the gen8?
Use it for programming, not sure if its worth the price compare to other brand.
I'm levono all day 🎉
If god receives my letters, Lenovo will run OSX one day.
'Chassis' look it up
why no 120 hz display
This is a work laptop not a gaming laptop. Not everything is a gaming laptop…
I will choose ElitBook G8 or G10 series over Lenovo, you know the difference metal unibody, keyboard 10/10(75% layout), 16G/1TB super display and best for coding, and yes price.
All depends on what you want! The carbon fiber allows for a much lighter than thin build.
G8 is a "boring betty". The HP EliteBook G10 is nice. Far better color accuracy, 1200p display resolution, QHD web camera, and an excellent 13th gen CPU.
Also, G10 continues to allow adjustable RAM.
AMD or Intel?
@@user-pc5dk7gp4b HP EliteBook 845 for AMD. 840 for Intel.
I just have zero faith in HP machines not bloating or failing over time. I’ve had a wealth of bad experiences with them. Lenovo has never failed me before.
Never understood why this exists at all ? Not up gradeable, runs the outgoing lack luster windows software, too small form factor for business connectivity, does not come with Linux, too expensive for a retail buyer whom would want to use it ?
Buy the real deal ...a P1 for business with linux.
I travel about 200k miles by plane every year. I need something light weight, doesn't get too hot, and has good battery life. The display is a huge plus too. I couldn't imagine carrying around a P1 on all my travels
lightweight, thin, AND durable because it's carbon fiber. Exactly!
From a different channel, they mentioned that Lenovo discontinued the X1 line and just combined X1’s specs into the P1 line.
