What happened to the Carbon touch? This would be my next computer except it doesn't have touch. As a developer I use Chrome dev tools emulator with my Thinkpad W510 to perform touch testing. Plus it is fantastic for annotating presentations (Ubuntu, Compiz Annotate plugin).
- ElijahLynn 10y agoThe XPS 13 developer edition looks nice and comes with Ubuntu 16.04 but doesn't have a pointer stick. I love the pointer stick, faster than trackpad.
- ElijahLynn 10y agoAh, looks like I am waiting for the next gen X1 Yoga (touch). It would have USB-C charging then and be light, with a nice screen and my favorite, the touchstick!
- ElijahLynn 10y agoOkay, here we go, 5th generation Thinkpad X1 Carbon just announced at CES 2017. This is a dream machine. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-yoga http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-yo... 16GB ram, 14" WQHD OLED Touchscreen (300 nit), 1TB SSD, Intel® Core™ i7 vPro, Trackpoint (touchstick), retractable keyboard in convertible mode, rechargeable & dockable pen, WWAN (Project Fi free data only sim), touch fingerprint (not the swipey kind), Thunderbolt 3, USB-C (docking is amazing now), WiGig docking. All starting at 3 lbs. (my W510 is 6 lbs w/extended battery). Mmmmmmmmm, now that is a sexy machine!!! Only thing better is if it would come with Ubuntu pre-installed and everything working out of the box. I am gonna get one of these and install Ubuntu or Apricity on it!
