Let's not forget to mention a somewhat important detail: the T460 weights about 1.7 kg, while the X1 only weights about 1.1 kg. It's not a huge difference, but having a lightweight laptop is a big plus when carrying it around all day.
- svennek 9y agoAnd it is MUCH thicker (or at least it seems so side-by-side).. Which it has to be to have space for the ginourmous rj45 plug... (I can easily live with the small dongle to get native rj45 on the x1s)
- pedrocr 9y agoThe specs list it as 1 to 3mm thicker which doesn't seem like much.
- gruturo 9y agoThis is because one (the X1) is tapered - you "experience" the thin side (keyboard) while the thick part is on the back. The 450/60/70 is just a flat slab so it maintains its thickness along its whole surface (although the 460 and 70 cheat and they become thinner about 1 inch before the end, so they look a bit thinner when looked at from the front). I have a 450 and don't mind it at all.
- shimon 9y agoThe T4[567]0s series are tapered at the edge as well. The -s suffix is the lighter version, basically similar to X1 series but with more ports/battery options/upgradability.
- ajford 9y agoThat's my pet peeve with my current (1st gen) X1 Carbon. I hate having to carry at least 3 dongles with me nearly everywhere. I usually travel with an mDP to VGA, mDP to HDMI, and a USB3 Ethernet adapter. I'd much rather have something like the T460s with two of those built in.
- pedrocr 9y agoI don't have a scale with me but Lenovo lists the T460s at 1.4kg and the X1 at 1.13kg. So it's significant (~20%) but not that high. Note that the T460s is a different model to the normal T460.
- YorickPeterse 9y agoOh, I missed the "s" part and looked up the specs of the regular T460.
