I own this laptop too, and I agree with you. I would add a few complaints of my own, though:
- The computer sometimes seems to turn on after it's closed and asleep in my bag
- The CPU gets pegged constantly, even on the i7 version (admittedly, this may be due to some background processes that were installed by my employer, but sometimes in task manager it just seems like a generic Windows process it taking up all of the CPU, so it's hard to tell).
- The fn key placement is awful. Seriously, I think Apple started this trend, and I wish other manufacturers would stop following it. Years of muscle memory have trained me to put my pinky in the bottom, left-hand corner of the keyboard for ctrl. At least you can change this in the BIOS on this computer, unlike a Mac, but that's still less than ideal.
- berberous 10y agoOn the CPU being pegged, I have bothered my IT department to death over the same thing on my X1 Carbon. If you download Process Explorer, I would bet it's CSCService that's causing the issue. If so, the culprit is likely the Windows "Offline Files" feature which lets your IT department sync your laptop files with the corporate network every so often. My IT department has failed to fix the issue, though, so yours may be unable to find a fix. For a while, I just messed with the power setting on my laptop in order to never allow the CPU to be fully utilized so that the fan noises were not insufferable.
